I found the diagram below in an article about the Hunger Games. I thought it could be fun if I tried to think of a few reasons as to why I wouldn't survive the Hunger Games. *Spoiler: my answers are not as funny as the diagram*

Five reasons why I wouldn't survive the Hunger Games:
1) I Don't Run
Like ever! I'd rather take the next streetcar than run to catch one at the last moment. I don't know the reason, perhaps it's because I haven't mastered the correct breathing pattern, but I've never liked running. I'll do any other kind of cardio so if I could escape fire grenades by doing sideway travelling jumping jacks then maybe I'd have a shot.
2) Vegan
The not eating animals thing may pose a problem especially when you add in the fact that I'm oblivious. Guaranteed I'd eat poisonous berries within the first 30 minutes of the games.
3) Not Graceful
I'm Peeta Mellark with a leg injury times ten. I've been told by family members that I sound like a herd of elephants when I walk. It's probably why I sucked at ballet but excelled at tap dance. Any tributes within a 5KM radius would hear me traipsing through the woods. (But they'd have to catch me before I ate poisonous berries or morphed into jumping jack mode)
4) Weather-phobe (and Nature)
I cannot stand extreme heat or cold...but will deal with cold. I'm allergic to my body's chemical reaction to the sun so I constantly get sun rashes. I'm generally just a giant baby and if the temperature is slightly uncomfortable I become a drama queen. I also kind of really hate being outside. I think nature is beautiful, I just don't want to be around it.
5) No Arthur
I wouldn't want to bring Arthur into that situation but I also wouldn't want to be without him. How could I stand being away from this guy?
Thankfully I don't foresee myself being in an outdoor, battle to the death any time soon. I'll just stick to the occasional hike in the park. I know Arthur will appreciate that!
May the odds be ever in your favour!
Alex & Arthur
