So, first things first. Sorry I've not updated in like, you know, forever. I've been running out of stuff to talk about these days. Plus, I've been busy, doing.... stuff.
also, I have a follower! How exciting is that?!?! thanks gemma!!
Now, this is what I really wanted to talk about:
Firstly, in my time of jet lag I was facebook stalking myself (have you ever done that? it's fun) and I looked through my old profile pics and I found this picture. I was in my 'I love photobooth and every ridiculous narcissistic thing it brings out in me' phase when I took it. I am without photobooth now, it died with Vera, the old laptop. I have to say I kind of miss it. But, the question is, is this picture totally lame or kind of awesome? I really can't decide. I think it's going as my profile pic again anyway. If you think its ridiculous for god's sake tell me and I'll change it again.
Secondly, and more importantly, I want to give you all a bit of a challenge. I want you to have a quote-off. Mainly just as an experiment to see who reads this damn thing. I am going to name a movie/book and you are going to leave comments with as many quotes as you can think of on there. Whoever puts down the most quotes after, let's say.... four days will win something. It might be my undying love, or it may be a car. who knows.
RULES:
1) PLEASE don't cheat and look up the quotes, these have to come of the top of your head. I know the subject matter pretty well and I suspect I shall be able to tell if your quotes are too perfectly worded and that you have cheated. You dirty cheater.
2) If you write a quote that someone has already written before you, it'll not be counted.
3) You should be able to identify who said the quote. It need not be the character's name, the actor will do as well.
4) You MAY earn bonus points for quoting whole dialog (i.e. conversations between two or more people), but only if I think you worthy.
Oh, this is going to be exciting! Now, I am going to name the title of the piece. Ready?......... Here goes.................
Pride and Prejudice (1995!!)
Just a warning: IF I SEE ANY QUOTES THAT WERE CLEARLY NOT USED IN THIS VERSION AND ARE NOT JANE AUSTEN'S WORDS BUT WERE IN FACT MANGLED AND SPAT OUT BY KEIRA KNIGHTLEY THEN SO HELP ME GOD I WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR MY ACTIONS!
Disclaimer: I'm sure that Keira Knightley is in fact a lovely girl and a wonderful human being but you could not have gotten a worse person to play the part even if you'd dressed Boris Johnson in drag and gotten him to speak in a high-pitched lady man voice.
Anyway, have fun with this guys! and if it goes ok this time we can do more in the future.
Much love. x

So, you probably don't remember me, but this is my favorite movie and I just watched it, ohhh, three nights ago...
Lydia: "No, Jane, you must go lower for I am a married woman."
-
Mrs. Bennet: "Absolutely not! You must go on horseback for it looks like rain and then you must stay the night."
-
Mr. Bennet: "Well, if Jane should die of this fever, at least we will be comforted by the fact that it was in pursuit of a man"
-
Mrs. Bennet: "It shouldn't matter if he should bring one hundred ladies, as we are never to know him"
I could go on but let's see what others can come up with
:-)
-Katie
Ms. Bingley : "I fear that this has lessened your regard for her 'fine eyes'"
Mr. Darcey : "Not at all. They have been brightened by the exercise"
Elizabeth : "For a single man in possession of good fortune must be in want of a wife"
Elizabeth : "I am determined that nothing but the deepest love will induce me to matrimony"
Lady Catherine : "I am quite put out!"
Mrs. Bennet : "Did you ever meet such a proud, disagreeable man?"
Elizabeth : "The rich can afford to be disagreeable. We have no need of his good opinion"
Miss Bingley (quoting Mr. Darcey) : "If she is a beauty, I would as soon call her mother a wit."
Mr. Bennet : "...Your mother will not see you again if you do not marry Mr. Collin, and I will not see you again if you do."
...It's been a while, but I think I hit the major ones. Does it count as a quote to include the scene where Mr. Darcy dives into the pool and then walks up to the Benetts with is very nice wet shirt?
