Elizabeth Bennet
because i am bored, waiting to pick up my baby nephew, and cant write a short entry to save my life....my last post led my mind off on a jane austen (ish) tanget...thinking about this i have always had a thing for the willful girls of literature..marianne, Jo from little women (wynonia rider..mmm), and of course Elizabeth Bennet who is in my opinion one of the best characters in the english language.
Now i have noticed that pride and prejudice is not only on almost every straight girls favorite book list/BBC production/ movie..but on many gay girls as well..
straight girls just love Mr. Darcy (hey even i love mr. Darcy), but i was just thinking that lizzie would probably be my ideal woman..and i was wondering if i was alone in this
now i love the BBC version, but i think knightley is hotter than ehle (plus i like her in the sailor outfit in the new pirates movie...now johnny depp another man i would fuck, but not as Jack Sparrow..give me keira as any elizabeth)
now pride and prejudice is simply a great book, but it is also known for creating what many women consider to be the ideal hero...if anyone who reads this has a love of P &P...do you think that elizabeth bennet is more identifiable to you, and you'd go for Mr. Darcy or a girl version of Darcy, or would you go for Elizabeth?
..i know this a weird question strange things happen to me in the heat with only a baby for company (i have the kids for a few days 'cause my sister took advantage of my presence to go to phoenix with her husband - he works for an arizona senator- and they havent been able to take a trip for a longtime..i think it is scary that i am now responsible enough to have my sister beg me to watch her kids for a week..it makes me feel old, i really am an adult, plus i really am freaked out that i will mess up my nephew or something..my niece i can handle, shes 7, but a baby..scary)

sorry i haven't been commenting on your blog as of late. but welcome to dc!!!
i'd probably go for an elizabeth since she is more of the outgoing and outspoken type. i'm more of the quiet one. am i a darcy to someone? hmmm...i wonder. i can only hope!
Hiya! Welcome to DC!
I'm blog-wandering ...
I LOVE Pride & Prejudice. LOVE IT. Especially the BBC version.
I think I would go for a Darcy. Not that I'm very outgoing or anything, but I like quiet people. I like peeling away the layers and discovering some amazing person. Yeah.
