Its been SO LONGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

It has,has it not?

Bleurgh,had my last history exam yesterday and Im on neutral ground right now.

Why,Oh WHYYYYYYYY could it not have been on the eighteenth century?

I would have written THREE essays on the eighteenth century!

Going to be leaving school soon,the 23rd being the exact last day because I have my very last exam in the morning which is around half an hour long!

Does anyone else think that the sketch shown in Horrible Histories(kids tv show which my little brother likes to watch and ask my opinion on),in the Vile Victorian Part was actually inaccurate?

It was all about some grumbly old doctor(not so grumbly but quite old) who liked to analyse and chop bodies up so he could figure out how everything worked.Then two men came along and in a decidedly musical fashion much like that of the 1920's(remember 'Kiss Me Kate'?) sang about the bodies they supplied the grumbly old doctor with till one day after an interview with a policeman realised these men were quite sinister and murdered people,only to sell their bodies to the doctor for cash(what else?).

Let me get to the point.

The sketch started with a few sentences floating up onto the screen,one of which proclaimed the event that was being shown took place in 1827.

The costumes just dont look time correct

Take a look for yourself(watch the whole video-it is quite good!AND...MY opinion is that the songs sound like something out of the 1920's but I am sure that at least the musical stylings in this clip are time correct)

Gorgeous Georgians is THE BEST!

I REALLY HATE MACBETH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well,no...

I dont.

Macbeth is getting annoying though,because I have to study the play for my essay and naturally,whenever you study a particular item,programme,ANYTHING for an essay,you REALLYYYYYYYYYYYYY begin to lose interest.

An example to clear up your confuddled minds:I used to watch The Simpsons.It was half an hour of pure heaven and no matter what was deemed babyish and uncool,I just didnt care.Till the day my english teacher said we were going to analyse the whole family and the opening credits.Trust me,It has never been the same!

But I stray from the topic.

I have not updated this blog in so long but GCSESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!

THEY SUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Im lucky If I get out alive with at least seven!

Marshmallow Musings...

I havent updated this blog for quite some time!

Been so busy-I wouldnt wish my current situation upon ANYONE.

Have you ever gotten those achey-painey feelings,the sort where you feel your heart is just breaking but you dont know WHY???????????

Im kind of feeling that at the moment.I created this blog for the sole purpose of committing each post to my thoughts AND musings on all things Regency but this post sort of goes off in that direction..

I watched Lost In Austen for the first time in ages and instantly settled down into my oh-so-cosy sofa to once again put myself in Amanda Price's shoes and transport myself to Longbourne.

But I felt so sad.I just WANTED the life of Elizabeth Bennet SO badly-or in Lost In Austen's case,Amanda Price and I felt totally helpless.

Like no-one understood my passion for the Regency times.

I admire so many people from different periods of history that did so many things,who really did live and laugh and love and I have done crap all.

Im 16 turning 17 soon and I cannot think of a single thing that would keep me in the 21st century If I had the chance to step back in time.

I cant go back in time,I know that.

And then I realised that I should be PLEASED that so many people did so many awesome things throughout history that I gained knowledge of,like Pride and Prejudice being written and all sorts of stuff.

Maybe,No,I WILL be the modern day Elizabeth Bennet.I want all those who I admire so much to be PROUD of me!

I REALLY needed to type all that down and I do feel the better for it!

Do you know the way to Pemberley?

I have spent around 3 hours just gazing at Cafepress.com

Bags,Mugs,Badges,Belts,THONGS and OMMD(will explain in a minute) just covered with anything relating to Mr.Darcy,Jane Austen,Marie Antoinette,Georgian/Regency related just waiting for you!

My favourite badge so far is

''What Do You Mean,Mr Darcy Isnt Real?''

More later...

*By The Way,OMMD stands for ''Oh My Mr Darcy''

Obsessed,I know!

I Want Cake!

Im not joking!

After having a Marie Antoinette day(consisting of the 1938 and 2006 adaptations,several books and 3 gorgeous eclairs with PINK whipped cream),I have decided that I will DEFINITELY pay a visit to Ladurée who supplied most of the confectionery for Marie Antoinette(2006) and purchase the cake to end all cakes for the day when I turn Seven And Ten!!!!!!!!!!!!

Something like this...

which is apparently named ''L'Entremet Marie-Antoinette''

Ending this post as ALWAYS on a Regency-fuelled note,check out this link!

There is a programme called ''The Supersizers Go..'' which basically sees two of the best presenters ever living in a specific time period but focusing mainly on the food of that time and its subsequent effects!

This episode is,OBVIOUSLY,...''The Supersizers Go..Regency''

Clear out a good hour to watch this-I do love it so!

Its posted in parts so watch them all!

Schokolade Ist Sehr Ungesund(Chocolate Is Unhealthy)

Buenas Noches!

Meh.

My living room is full of people babbling over cups of Afternoon Tea.

BUT....I am in my room(obviously)trawling the internet for ways to make people invisible.

Invisible AND Quiet.

No luck so far.... =(

Not much is going on here but check this out

http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/weird-world/2009/11/10/longest-film-ever-to-be-screened-free-up-six-days-in-your-diary-115875-21811669/

Now I could DEFINITELY free up six days for a film!

Today has kind of been a day for truth..

When I say truth,I mean the fact that for me and ''ma meilleure ami'' to buy tickets for the Jane Austen Festival in Bath next year,additional tickets for other activities,accomodation,train fare,several Regency dresses(for me) and around 15 packets of Tesco's digestive biscuits and 26 bottles of lucozade to live off for the ten or so days of the festival,It'll cost something around £2000.

Oh Joy..

Odio Mia Mamma!

Pride and Prejudice-So Many Adaptations To Love!

I am currently pondering which adaptation ranks in my Top 3 movies/adaptations/things you can stare at...

Currently,and the first one will ALWAYS be my Number 1......

1)Pride and Prejudice(2005)

I cant fault it.I REALLY cant!

2)Lost In Austen(2008)

Stick this on when you need cheering up!

Always leaves me pushing on the tiles in my bathroom looking for a secret doorway..

3)Marie Antoinette(2006)

The most amazing chick flick film ever!

WHO CARES if it is 3 million miles away from the facts?

We do NOT watch movies for a good dose of reality and this is just what's needed for a good night in by yourself,a bowl of chocolate peanuts and Orange Lucozade or with your mates(times the peanuts and Lucozade by 50!)

ANYWAY.......So what is YOUR favourite adaptation of P+P and why?

Opinions on my Top 3 are much appreciated and your own Top 3 lists are most welcome! =D
