"i may not look delicate, but i've a deep-seated heart complaint and it will carry me off sooner or later, for only one doctor in the world can cure it, and she won't."
"she is curing it in the best and only way; but a more refractory patient never lived. did you go to that ball, as i directed?"
"i did."
"and devote yourself to pretty miss west?"
"danced with her the whole evening."
"no impression made on that susceptible organ of yours?"
"not the slightest. i gaped in her face once, forgot to feed her, and gave a sigh of relief when i handed her over to her momma."
"repeat the dose as often as possible, and note the symptoms. i predict that you'll 'cry for it' by and by."
"never! i'm sure it doesn't suit my constitution."
"we shall see. obey orders!"
"yes, doctor."
--tom & nan, "jo's boys", chapter 1.
ese es uno de mis pasajes favoritos de esa novela. ah, tom y nan. como me gustaba esa parejita. son tan lindos...! *squee!* lastima que la señora alcott se empeña en terminar todas sus novelas como a mi NO me gusta que terminen. excepto an old-fashioned girl. esa si termino como debia terminar. ya era hora. en fin.
i just posted the third chapter of somnium at portkey. hopefully i'll get more reviews this time.
BTW, creo que llegue a una decision con respecto a mis fanfics. voy a terminar somnium tan pronto pueda porque ese es uno en el que ya se completamente lo que tengo que escribir. orbe va a quedar on hold por un tiempo, lamentablemente, porque habia planeado ciertas cosas y ahora voy a olvidarme de todo eso y a rehacerlo nuevamente. creanme, no les hubiera gustado, es mejor asi. lo malo es que me va a demorar porque, como muchos de ustedes sabran, ahora con todas mis clases no tengo vida. haha! ^^;;; la ultima prueba tambien va a quedar medio on-hold porque tengo que leer nuevamente "higher learning" para aclimatarme mas a la trama.
mientras tanto, me voy a sentar a trabajar en mis originales, que han sufrido mucho por mi falta de tiempo y porque el poco tiempo libre que tengo se lo dedico a mis fanfics. de veras quiero terminar al menos una novela en estos dos años y tengo que aprovechar que ahora no tengo a mi mama y a mi hermano leyendo sobre mi hombro todo el tiempo.
tambien como ejercicio de escritura voy a ponerme a adaptar toda la serie de mujercitas a nuestra epoca actual (hey, lo hicieron con romeo y julieta! por que no con mujercitas?). obviamente no voy a publicar esto, es mas bien para revisar mi estilo y tecnica y esas cosas. espero poder cumplirlo.
i saw "lost" for the first time today, and i completely didn't get it. but i did spend an hour drooling over the hot guys.
and speaking of hot guys, i'm going to go see "the notebook" with my roommates this friday. OMG, ryan gosling. OMG, i love him to pieces. in fact i just changed my wallpaper from h/hr to one of him. gorgeous!
ALL H/HR SHIPPERS SHOULD WATCH THIS MUSIC VIDEO. it's just brilliant. and the song is great, really fitting with the h/hr theme. i've even used it before for some of my icons. the whole thing is really great, one of the best i've seen, really. and boy they DO hold hands/embrace/just generally stick close to each other an awful lot in that movie, don't they? *vbg* ^.^
edit @ 1659 hrs the next day... new layout. ryan, of course. isn't he gorgeous? he is! *.*
edit @ 2123 hrs... well, have you guys seen the trailer for the fantastic four movie? i'm really excited that they're doing a movie about the f4 because they're one of the few superheros i really liked, along with the x-men. though i'm really upset about the casting! i mean, really, jessica alba as sue richards? wtf? she looks younger than the human torch! (johnny, was it?) she is nowhere near that "lady" image the original comic!susan had. and her dyed hair looks really bad with her tan. not to mention that she looks like she could be reed's daughter. ugh. anyway, maybe if this superhero trend continues they'll eventually get to jonny quest. i tell you, i wouldn't mind seeing ryan gosling as jonny... although he might look a little too old for the part now. oh well. as long as they don't cast, say, claire danes as jessie, then i'd be fine with it.
