No one’s fated or doomed to love anyone.
The accidents happen, we’re not heroines,
they happen in our lives like car crashes,
books  that change us, neighborhoods
we move into and come to love.
Tristan und Isolde is scarcely the story,
women at least should know the difference
between love and death. No prison cup,
no penance. Merely a notion that the tape – recorder
should have caught some ghost of us: that tape – recorder
not merely played but should have listened to us,
and could instruct those after us:
this we were, this is how we tried to love,
and these are the forces we had ranged within us
within us and against us, against us and within us.

Escape is an effort of futulity

I’ve watched this many many times and each time I think, will I love it as much as I remember loving it? and every time I leave giddy and excited and horribly in love with Truffaut. Love love love…

So…

Now that my ultimate crush is dating someone else, i am in serious need of A)

or B)

Yes, heartbreak usually puts me in a period drama sort of mood (not that I’m often not in a period drama sort of mood, heartbreak or not. *there are too many nots in that thought*) And it didn’t help that me and my boss were belting out Yentl in the office earlier (Will Someone Ever Look At Me That Way? Like, ever?) And now I kinda want to watch Jane Eyre (2006) again because ah, Toby Stephens (see below) as Edward Fairfax Rochester, Mr. giving-Plain-Janes-hope-that-one-day-some-Rich-Broodingly-Handsome-Man-will-fall-passionately-in-love-with-them  since 1847 (yes, it is still sorta romantic even if he’s a bit of an asshole who keeps his crazy ass wife in the attic.)

So that got me internet surfing–which brought me to Enchanted Serenity of Period Films that has loads of fun trivia and helpful articles like 20 tips on snagging a husband :

Hit him over the head. Literally.
Breaking her chalkboard on Gilbert’s head appears to have worked for Anne.
[Anne of Green Gables]

Hang out at train stations.
There’s no telling who might turn up.
[North and South]

Because Richard Armitage suddenly turning up in my life is exactly what I need right now. (which reminds me, I really have to start watching Robin Hood because darn:

It’s a fangirl. I love fangirls.

And it helps that Toby Stephen is there too. Ah, Toby Stephens…a girl can dream. Which is actually the bottom line of this rambling post.)

PS. Here are little snippets of P&P as told in Twitterspeak

Darcy:
@LizzyB Clearly, there is in every disposition a tendency to some particular evil. Yes, I’m tweeting at you.

LizzyB:
@Darcy Yours is to hate everyone.

Darcy:
@LizzyB Where yours is to misunderstand them.

LizzyB:
@Darcy Oooo. Having a little twit snit are we, Mr Darcy?

CharlotteL:
@LizzyB Darcy keeps looking at your profile. What’s up with that?

LizzyB:
@CharlotteL I dunno but it’s freaking my shit out. Srsly.

Darcy:
DM to @LizzyB
In vain I have struggled. It will not do. My feelings will not be repressed. You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire & love you.

LizzyB:
WTF?

A New Show to Love

I am so jealous…

John Barrowman + David Tennant + goofing around in the  TARDIS = Fangirl Heaven!

If only someone could throw in  Christopher Eccleston…and John Simm…and James Marsters…

Now that’s something to contemplate.

A girl can dream, after all.

just can’t resist…

The teaser poster for New Moon was just released and all I can think is:

…

You know I can’t resist Twilight bashing. Haha.

Dollhouse Renewed For Second Season! *does a happy dance*

Yay!

In the meantime, I’m looking forward to this:

Which should hopefully have his hotness covered in pink spandex by the end of the season.

By the way, Dead and Gone (book 9 of the Sookie Stackhouse books) has been released. Can I just say:

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But you knew that already. Haha.
