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

My first Blog!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Hey!

My first bloggy thing!

Soon to be filled with the assortment of various areas and random boxes of fluffy weirdness that have holed themselves up in my head which is soon to be seven and ten years of age!

For the benefit of ANYONE reading this,I shall let you know (quite alot) about me but not all of it strictly relevant =D

I consider myself a regency princess(not literally royalty,It just sounded poetic) born in the wrong era(I was born in the 20th century,1993, and not actually being much of a '90s child,I technically grew up in the 21st century BUT I should have been born around 1785.I would have fit in a lot better..)

The Regency era is the best era ever!!!!!!!!!!I am SO in love with that time,It's getting to be more of an obsession/love affair....

I love music.Especially Baroque,Classical and Romantic.In THAT order..

Once I discover something,I generally fill my head up with it until not-so-common sense takes over(like Burlesque Dancing which somehow progressed onto wanting to learn French)

Marie Antoinette,Jane Austen and Henry Purcell are absolutely AMAZING!

Pride and Prejudice sends me into a dreamy trance which then results in me reaching for the book/dvd to further fuel my countless dreams AND day dreams(Lost In Austen takes care of that!)

Did you really need to or rather wanted to know all that?

Its debatable.....

Au Revoir!!
