here i will leave my dream of me actually living 150 years ago. it is sad to part with it. but i will leave it here. here in my sister's bedroom and here it will stay. i am now excepting that mr.darcy is not real. that he is just a character of a book, such as lord voldemort in harry potter. he doesn't exsist. but i think there may be a man out there that is a little less socially awkward and just as wildly passionate. anywho. here i leave my undieing love for living 150 years ago. when i leave for oregon i won't even think about it. not once. (at least i'll try). goodbye fantasy of long dresses, suitors, and tea.

Yeah right. You'll never let that one die. Your room is filled with tea cups and quills
ReplyDeleteDear Jobbie Socks,
ReplyDeleteFor SO long I told people I was born in the wrong decade. I wished I was living my youth between 1910 and 1950. It took me years to let go. At least we can dress like the times we love. AM I RIGHT?!! You can always use quill pens and wax seals in your letters. It'll set you apart as charming. I think about Lara's yellow dress she wore to Huntington Gardens. She reminded me so much of Andrew Wyeth's painting "Christina's World" from 1948. She looked like a beautiful old painting!! HEART! XOXO! LOVE! Go Lara!
And you look like a picture most days, sissy.
I still look around me and have to convince myself into living mentally in the present day.
I used to feel that NOTHING of present day manners or fashion were of value. But it's when I'm using a vitamix or washing machine that I love living in 2010. Without these utensils, I'd be a slave to the kitchen.
NO WAY.
Happy to be living now.
Love,
Elie
