Comment on If I had met Jane… by jamiejohnsonus

Well Tim…Jane Austen doesn’t lie! You have always been the center of social circles, you have a huge heart that wants to help and better others, and, you’re not afraid to voice your opinions to others in order to help and influence them. You do have good intentions and a creative spirit. And, you mock the ridiculous in others. I don’t think you’re deluded, though you can come up with wonderful schemes. The difference is, you are fully talented and capable enough to be successful at them. Yes, you are a bit like Emma…but you are really most of all…Tim…which is even better! Don’t worry, it could be worse…you could be a Mr. Collins!

You Are…Emma Woodhouse!
You are Emma Woodhouse of Emma! You like being the queen of your social circle (small and provincial as it may be), and feel it’s your duty to help those less influential than you. You often meddle in the affairs of others, though you do it with a pure heart. You are often deluded in your flights of fancy, but your good intentions and creative spirit make you someone anyone could like.

I took the quiz; I’m not sure I agree with these results.

What do you think Jay Jay; am I Emma?

ROFLOL…I almost went #1 in my pants reading this!!! Too funny, Tim!!! FYI Darcey is “Mr. Darcey,” a male, and he and Elizabeth got married at the end of Pride & Prejudice.

P.S. To my Jane Austen internet friends…before you get worked up over the sacrilegious nature of this comment…it is from my brother. A Jane Austen fan he’s not…but I love him anyway and he has a wonderful sense of humor! It’s a sad day when the comment blows the post out of the water!!!

I would ask her a few things. Here are a some examples. What is your favorite color? What is your favorite food? Who is your favorite artist? How do you feel about Rock and Roll and its effects on Western Civilization? What is the meaning of meaning?

Just for the record, I happen to know first hand that Jane Austin (the american spelling for her last name) does not like tea; she was a coffee and Dr. Pepper drinker.

Her are a couple more answers for ya; Charlotte Lucas did the right thing marrying Mr. Collins, she would have never found any one else to put up with her _ _ _ _.

Marianne did the right thing as well; any grown up can tell you that “passionate love” only exists in the world of leprechons and unicorns. Find a mate you can respect and a pizza joint you can be passionate about and your good to go. Thats life baby.

Lizzy and Darcey? Lizzy spent her life struggling with depression hooked on morphine and Darcey developed an abnormal desire to go number 2 in her britches which severley hampered her ability to find a life mate.

Cold Hard Facts for ya.

Don’t hate the messanger, hate the message.

Peace

Hey there! I had the same diagnosis…no tear, just floaters (about 20+ combined total in both eyes). If they don’t settle at the bottom of your eye within a year of first forming, then they are probably permanent. Mine are permanent and so, I have had to learn to live with them. They are most obvious and distracting when I am outside in bright light or in a white room. I wear sunglasses a lot outside and have painted the walls in my house colors other than white. It really helps. I have gotten used to them, though I still find myself swatting away “bugs” that are just my floaters. I hope yours go away!

Hi! Nice blog. I have floaters too (about 4 of them). I was wondering how your floater situation resolved. Did they go away? My eye doctor said that there was no evidence of a tear and that I should learn to live with them. Any tips on how to live with theM? I find them so distracting.

Hi Jamie, great post. I liked ‘Confession’ very much also. It made me laugh out loud several times, and that is always a good things. My JA confesions are the following

1. I have way too many Jane Austen books, by Jane, about Jane or written in Jane’s style. I can’t stop reading or buying them.

2. I love Austentini’s

3. I secretly want to be Mary Bennet so her real story as a librian crime dectective who sings in the stacks can be revealed. Can Laurie Viera Rigler just wave her magic wand to make that happen?

Cheers, Laurel Ann
