First of all, sorry everybody about the radio silence.  I've been stuck with moving and midterms - yes, both, at the same time - but now I'm settled at St Helens (some of you may remember a bit of an explosion some twenty-nine years ago that darkened the sky, killed forests, sent ash around the whole globe and still had some left by the time it got

yay, you're back! happy end-of-move-and-midterms to you. :)

Thank you!

I'm so glad you agree. I really wish people wouldn't use Austen when they're not clear what they're talking about. *sigh*

And the 'he didn't really love her' is, as you say, astoundingly stupid. Aside of the fact that Darcy himself says that his feelings haven't changed since the first proposal. How dare he violate the standards of rom-com? Really!

Hee! That's what I like to hear. When I'm totally right, that is.

A daiquiri for me, though. *iz nostalgic*

Oh, I'm glad you argued it! I was very lazy and saw it and it bothered me but I had no strenght to compose a response. And you are always so much more coherent!
