out in the desert, we're gonna ride

So at work today I was shelving books, like you do, and I picked up one of those awful Pride and Prejudice sequels. It was just before break, and the book I was already reading turned out to actually be kind of a dictionary (it has "dictionary" in the title, that should have been a clue), so I decided to peruse it.

"Loins" makes me think of pork. And I don't see how that can't provoke a titter.

I tried reading one of those awful sequels once - I think it was called "Mr. Darcy Takes A Wife." I almost never give up on books. This one was so bad. I don't think I even got halfway through. It helps to have some plot with the pron if it's book-length, you know? (Okay, there was some subplot about a kid that was obviously Darcy's bastard that he didn't know about, and there was going to be a big crisis and/or misunderstanding about it in the part I didn't get to, but it doesn't count if it's obvious from about chapter two. Which means none of the above is really a spoiler, because so obvious.) I really can't see Darcy going, "Yay, Elizabeth, don't wash up! Go to the party with my hot man-juice dripping down your legs!"

Actually, I kind of can, and the mental image is extremely disturbing.

I think the one I was reading was a sequel to that sequel or something--it was by the same author, called "Nights and Days at Pemberley" or something. And the quality, believe me, is no better.

The second page involves a description of the bulge in Darcy's breeches.

Hm. You know, maybe with good writing I could believe it. Alas, good writing was not in evidence.

[tears_of_nienna]

Not in evidence at all.

...I want to check it out and finish it because it was just so funny. XD

If it helps, I thought your long hair suited you in the pirate photos you posted recently :)

[tears_of_nienna]

Haha, thanks. But it's been like this all through college, more or less, and I think it's finally time for a change. I don't know, maybe I'll just get it layered a little and have the hairdresser put crayon-red streaks in it. ;)

[darth_angelus]

Ah, I understand and that sounds good :)

I KNOW IT WOULD BE SO AWESOME AMIRITE?!

Plus I have a plastic dinosaur-skull thing from my sister's old Baby Paleontologist kit that, if I recall correctly, actually looks sort of kind of right.

Without a Roland, though, nobody would know who I was....hint hint omg.

FTW INDEED!!! Guns and roses, roses and guns...this could be very much fun. XD
