Smitten

I have seen Pride and Prejudice a dozen times these past few months, both the Colin Firth version and the Matthew McFayden version and will admit that I could watch them a dozen times more without boredom. I whole heartedly feel that all gentlemen seeking a lady should take tips from the wonderful and awfully romantic Mr. Darcy. Both Matthew and Colin do these roles great justice. Colin portrays the romantic brooding fellow divinely and one cannot help but feel swept up in his eyes. And Matthew, the romantic Darcy.... I swoon!! If only a man such as Darcy truly existed! The look of being smitten and wanting to make a woman happy without the decision of sex. It is about love and value of one another. Ah, to have a Darcy!! I know there are good men and kind and nice... But our lives are so different then those depicted in Austen novels. I to wish I could be the Amanda in Lost in Austen. Oh I think I would give it all up if my life could be an Austen novel!!

Elizabeth Bennett is a great character, if only one could aspire to be like her... In a modem way. :)

I love me some romantic Austen novels :)
