Silly yet needing to be said

I have just watched Pride and Prejudice... the BBC version, for perhaps the 11 or 12th time and once again I realize that I have a Hollywood infatuation with Collin Firth !!!!! I swear, if I were 5 years older and resided in Britain, I would move heaven and earth to meet the man. Meeting him before he was wed, would also have been advantageous. I know he is probably nothing like any of the characters he plays, but, for all the characters in all the movies I have seen him in, I'd take him as any of them.

It must be "wretched" to base your hopes of a man on characters derived and seen in fiction. I feel justified in saying that this desire is far more approvable than that of a man's desiring a pornographic character, but not more realistic, I'm afraid. 

I am thinking that Jane Austin and I might have been the best of friends, for better or worse. Though her use of the English language certainly trumps my own. But for verbosity, it may be a tie :-)

Is such an admission a question on eHarmony??....  If so, I would state that my vision of a person I could see myself in a successful relationship with is a man with the sense and education of Mr.Darcy in Pride and Prejudice, the heart, patience, and acceptance of Mr. Darcy in Bridget Jones' diary, and the countenance and eyes of Collin Firth.

There it is folks. Boy, am I superficial. 

Lucky for me, no one reads blogs anymore ;-)
