I watched Lost in Austen today. Oh, Darcy.
Yes, how cliche. I am a girl who pines for her Mr. Darcy. Sort of.
So Lost in Austen embodies every woman’s dream: a modern day girl gets to travel to Darcy’s time and take the place of Miss Elizabeth Bennet. True, 100% escapism.
Truth is, I’m nostalgic for an age I didn’t even live in. Where chivalry was still alive.
But can we ask to be equals and still demand chivalry? A classic case of wanting our cake and eating it too?
Thank God I go back to work tomorrow. Get my head out of the fluffy clouds and back into my cubicle.

I went to a sporting club today with friends. Actually played basketball. Will wonders never cease?
i recently re read pride and prejudice, and when u give it a careful read darcy is kind of an asshole. just because he fell in love with elizabeth doesn’t make him less rude we keda.
Of course he is. You should read Alexandra Potter’s Me and Mr. Darcy. Stupid chick lit, but shows why Darcy would never work in this day and age. But you know, a girl’s gotta have her fantasies…
