ewww, Heathcliff.
*runs away*

PS: you're very organised! I'm still proud of myself for writing down books for the month!
no subject
Yeah, I never liked Heathcliff or Cathy. When it comes to the Brontes, give me Charlotte any time.
no subject
2) Her grown-up reaction was exactly mine. Cathy Linton/Heathcliff/Earnshaw rocks my socks and was pretty much the only character I liked consistently. Thanks for the link, Emma!
Now, one of these days I'll get around to Jane Eyre...
no subject
I love love love Jane Eyre--just think Wuthering Heights in reverse and you're good.

I'm actually at my mid-teens right now and was at my mid-teens when I first read Wuthering Heights, so I dunno. And the link was very entertaining, because it sounds EXACTLY like what my best friend described to me when SHE first read the book... *shudders*
The only redeeming part of that book, to me, was the bit of Hareton/Cathy Linton in the end. (But then my friend just reminded me of the fact that they're first cousins during math...)

You've watched some Firefly? How do you like it? Have you seen the episode that your icon comes from? Heehee...
no subject
And I do love the Special Hell one, but I must admit that this one is my favorite. If I'm right, it comes from "Heart of Gold." The second I saw Inara crying I knew I had to have an icon of it--she's just so beautiful, and so sad. So sad. It broke my heart. So I spent hours and hours looking for the icon, and then I found it! :-D
no subject
Oh my gosh, that whole episode (but especially that scene) is heartwrenching. (Inara reminded me of Thaddeus, actually.) I do love that icon. It's very powerful.
Oh, I was meaning to ask you...do you have any idea when Avatar's going to start up again?
no subject
I know! (Yeah, except she's much calmer.) :-D
NO FREAKING CLUE. *sulks*
no subject
Serenity is *insert spoilers spoilers spoilers* but Firefly is better

I'm doing the same thing, except I'm keeping a running log Private, then extracting the month and posting. We'll see if I remember to keep it up. It's fun to look back on.
(I'm really liking Plain White T's, which I ended up getting b/c of your squees. I might need to get another CD)
no subject
Ooh, that sounds like fun. I might pull this back up every now and then (aside from updating it, of course)! Also, my seminar from last semester has a group that's getting together and watching movies every week, so I'll have lots and lots to write about. :-D
(yay! XD)
no subject
What did you think of the Pullman trilogy? I haven't read them, but I know my parents are fond of the first one, but not so much the others.
no subject
That's pretty much how I feel. The first one is really, really good. The second one's okay, and the third one has a bunch of good things but even more bad things. Like the third one, for every time I went "oh, that's a really good scene," I had two or three times when I went "NO PHILIP PULLMAN STOP BEING A PEDAGOGUE." If that's the right use of that world. Anyway, he made my head hurt because he was beating it over with his crappy misinterpretations and moralizing of everything.

You read Deerskin? What did you think? (Have I asked you this before?) I read the first chapter or two when I was in middle school, or so, and I was frightened of men for at least a month afterwards. O_O

P.S. You hadn't seen "Braveheart" until this year? Wow. I love that movie! It always makes me happy to be Scottish!! And Mel Gibson's eyes are so deliciously blue in that movie. And amazing accents abound!
