Isn't this a Shania Twain song?
Pet Peeve of Yesterday (because I didn't have a chance to post it):
People who 'ask for information,' when they already know everything there is to know and couldn't, of course, in their brilliance and perfection, be wrong.
In other news, after waking up twenty minutes after I was supposed to be at work (thereby not waking up two hours early to finish a work-related project), forgetting both my lunch and that I needed to stop for pepsi on the way in to work, and running an errand at lunch to discover that 'the guy who's only in on Mondays' was on holidays, and being unable to work in any Microsoft application because attempting to save would lose my work and crash my computer, after all that -- I was doing bills last night and discovered that I have, this summer, over-spent my budget by several hundred dollars. On what? I have no idea. Food, probably.
Incidently, Tith, I completely forgot to give you a book from TNK which has been sitting on my desk forever.
Oh dear, you are Bookish, aren't you? You are a highly intelligent and witty bluestocking, whose beauty is hidden behind spectacles. Your dress sense is eccentric and a little unfashionable, and you consider yourself plain. You have very little use for men, who find your knowledge of Shakespeare, interest in politics and forthright speech formidable. You are undoubtedly well-off.
The only reason for your presence in a novel of this kind (which, I might add, you would not dream of reading, although you have occasionally enjoyed the works of Miss Austen), is your mother, who is absolutely determined that you will make a good marriage. Rather than defying her directly, you are quietly subversive, dancing with anyone who asks you, but making no attempt to hide your intellectual interests.
The only person who can get past your facade is the man who is witty enough to spar with you, and be amused at your blatant attempts to scare your suitors away. While you will, no doubt, subject him to a gruelling cross-examination to find out whether his respect for your intelligence is real or mere flattery, you may be sure that he is your match, and that you, he AND your mother will all live happily ever after
