"You Can Take Me Hat or Me Bumbershoo..."

I've finished Jane Eyre. Please ignore my last entry regarding said book. *is reproachful* Mum lied to me.

We got two letters to-day! One to Horatio, from Hamlet, and one to Pencroff and N., from Harbert and A.! N. won't let me open his yet, because he thinks it imperative that I finish taking down his reply to A.'s first letter before we read the new one, which is I suppose fair, particularly as it ensures for him that I'll probably finally finish with it.

Have at last gotten my site updated. O_o I left it alone for an age, and there's a horrible number of things to go up. It's sad, though, because most of it's old things. I'm not a good writer right now.

What else? There was something else I wanted to say.

In a moment I shall go eat breakfast... I forgot this morning. O_o I think I slept five and a half hours last night, although I also did that the night before, and the night before that, so it's not exactly breaking news.

All my Sewanee books are here, so from now on until they're done, I can't take requests for books to be read, I can't read anything but them, so everything else is postponed. Those to whom I still owe unread books, my sincere apologies.

It's swelteringly hot here. I took off my flannel blankets and my quilts from my bed finally; but it really seems as though we've gone right from deadliest freezing winter into scorching and murderous summer. I wonder if the Liverpool pool will open early this year. It's so hot that I've put my hair up and am wearing it under my Courfeyrac cap, so that if I put on my moustache, I'd look like Nanni's icon of Wilfred Owen.

That was very silly, wasn't it?

I'm hungry.

Eeee! You got Horatio's letter! That was quick!

It was, but I'm not complaing. ^_^ Horatio is, though. He knows how badly I procrastinate on answering letters.

*giggles* Hamlet's a-waiting with baited breath. You can read the handwriting okay, then?

Eeeee! *happy* Ididn'thaveanylinedpaper.

But that was the way it should have been! Hamlet wouldn't write on lined paper, silly. ^_~ Unlined is more dignified. Horatio is making me put his next one on unlined.

Unlined is only dignified when one can keep their sentences from being completely and terribly crooked. And yay! I've started a trend!

Yes, but you did that. :P So.

How nifty is that?

*g* I guess I'm just pretty amazing, then, hmm? On both counts.

Absolutely stupendous.

That wasn't very nice of your mom...

So, what do you think of Jane Eyre now that you're done? Any chance you'll turn into an Eyrehead? *g*

[identity profile] rainbowjehan.livejournal.com 2005-05-14 11:14 am (UTC)(link)
It was her revenge for me being so upset when she first mentioned that St. John would propose. She didn't actually tell me what Jane would say, but she told about him proposing, and I was very vocal in my woe, so she went and "intentionally misled" me. Wicked woman.

Mmmm. ^_^ No.

(EYREHEAD! THAT'S BLOODY BRILLIANT! OMG!!! Lillie, I love you.)

You -are- very silly. Oh, sorry, what? ;)

And then, please disregard MY last comment about Jane Eyre. But you understand now, yesyes? And Sainty-Jay is still a great character.

(I didn't make up Eyrehead, just so you know. It's the "official" name for fans of Jane Eyre the Musical. James Barbour even mentioned it in an interview, but I don't think he's the one who came up with it. He also said that the more serious fans called themselves "Janeans," but I don't think any of us have actually used that one. *g*)

(Actually, yes. Yes, it really is. *g*)

I know. Pity, really.

No, no, it's okay! I feel a downright fool about it. ^_~ But yes, now I understand: and since he wasn't in love with her or anything, I still like him. So, yay.
