[Entry #21] The Lizzie Bennet Diaries
I'm sure everyone has heard of Pride and Prejudice that wonderful book by Jane Austen. I'm not one for romance stories but I did enjoy this book quite a bit - as well as the BBC series from way back when. Then, one day, I stumbled upon this little gem. The Lizzie Bennet Diaries - a modern re-telling of Jane Austen's story in the form a vlog run by none-other than the main character herself, Lizzie Bennet.
Let me just say - this series is A-MA-ZING. So please, if you have not, GO CHECK IT OUT.

I started following around episode 30-something this summer in August and I've been waiting and anticipating the moment Lizzie and Darcy would finally get together and they finally did. The moment when Lizzie kissed Darcy I lost it. Slamming my hands on the table, squealing, I wanted to just scream "YES" but I couldn't because I'm living in a dorm and the walls are like paper. Instead I started hitting my leg, really, freakin hard I was just SO EXCITED I actually had to pause the video because I felt like I was hyper-ventilating. The whole moment of FINALLY. Does anyone know that meme where it's this stick guy and he's just like "NOW KISS". Yeah - that was my thoughts for a lot of the series after Lizzie started shadowing Darcy and Pemberley and then they DID and I was just like YES YES YES YES YES.
God I sound like such a freak don't I? I think this is on par with my reaction with Domyouji kissed Makino in HYD-F during the wedding scene (but that wasn't really due to HYD so much as my MaoJun shipping... but anyway). Haha. But it was just amazing. That intense moment of .. just. Ugh. (I'm coherent right now, really, I am). Their love story. Literally - a modern love story. Finally.
I'm so sad and happy that this series is ending but I am honestly so satisfied with how they did everything. It wasn't perfect - there were definitely things that obviously were played up (the convenience of constantly having people just 'walk in' on Lizzie's videos) but what do you expect?
Seriously - even if you guys AREN'T a fan of P&P this is a pretty sick web-series so ya'll should defs check it out! :D (and.. I don't know why I started speaking in weird slang...)
