Captain Wentworth's Letter to Anne

[bemkah]

I can listen no longer in silence. I must speak to you by such means
as are within my reach. You pierce my soul. I am half agony, half
hope. Tell me not that I am too late, that such precious feelings are gone
for ever. I offer myself to you again with a heart even more your own,
than when you almost broke it eight years and a half ago. Dare not say

O.O I am currently re-reading Persuasion. Not to that passage yet. :D

It's great, isn't it? Have you seen the BBC movie of it? Sigh. At the moment it might be my favourite Austen.

Have you seen the BBC miniseries of the Elizabeth Gaskell novel North and South? Phwoar. Richard Armitage = dool worthy. I hope he takes his top hat with him into the bedroom.

I need to put both on my Netflix queue for a me!night. Mr. Dexy is a pain when it comes to BBC movies. He prefers to just read the books. (Still! A man who loves Austen is pretty awesometastic)

*hugs* I know what you mean, Beck! I want a Captain Wentworth too! I've been immersed in the Twilight series for a week--I've already re-read them all, and the second-half of Breaking Dawn a thrid time! Hee! So, of course, all of my daydreams are about the Cullens, their life is so much more interesting than mine!

I know what you mean with being nowhere near where you thought you'd be--I'm like that too, getting in my own way of doing things I want to do, like getting braces. I think I read once in a New Woman magazine that it's called a quarter-life crisis. I'm having one of those! Don't know what I want to do! So of course, I'm letting reading consume me instead of dealing with stuff, which doesn't help. At all. I have one more semester of uni to go, and it's driving me mad, because that's another 6 months I can't get full-time work for! Hmph. Whoever first said the uni-student life is great obviously didn't factor in too much thinking time over the summer holidays! Hmph.

I don't know, I don't think uni life is so bad. It's pretty cruisy really, all the holidays we get. If you were working ful ltime mate, you wouldnt have quite so much time to devote to reading. Sometimes I think I just might be a student forever, since there are so many things I'd like to study. And since I think I want to go on and get a masters in anthro. One semester left of uni is exciting though, I still have a fair bit to go yet. That'll learn me for taking time off to travel first.

Sometimes I'm not even sure if I want a 9-5 monday to friday job, and other times I'd love one. A quarter life crisis sounds about right - I'm 24 in February. Guh. I still feel just like I did at 16, I wonder when that will change.

yeah, not much reading time would suck.

a lot of the time I feel like I'm just pretending to be an adult. I so don't have it together. and being a teenager was good in that we had this perfect excuse for mood swings, and not having decided what to do with ourselves! adolescence!
