{here is a picture of a darling little street at notting hill}why-oh-why wasn't i born with a real british accent? i mean i know why... the thing is, i've been pretending for years but you don't even know how badly i wish it wasn't all just a game. if i had such a gift i would talk to myself all day long. i would never stop. sure, i might not have any friends, since they would get tired of hearing me jabber on. but i would be my friend...
well, either way its too late for that dream to come true. i'm american through and through. but one tender mercy still does exist...on the other side of my cubicle {at work} sits a man named simon, who is in fact from the UK and although i rarely see his face, i do hear his lovely accent throughout the day...luckily i have this to feed my craving.
which come to think of it is not unlike my obession with the fact that i like to sit on the front row during sunday school so i can catch a whiff of those wondrous dry erase markers..mmm...
so if all works according to plan, one day, i am going to fall in love with a sunday school teacher from britain {he will notice me because i will be sitting there on the front row of course, and my good looks and rapist wit will lure him in, naturally}
and then i shall call him ... "my mister darcy"
yeah, that sounds good. i'll have that.

You are so cute! One question though: what is a 'rapist wit'?
you are a dirty bird liz. love it.
rapist wit...is actually a direct quote from "dumb and dumber" but what lloyd actually means to say is rapier wit - which means quick and blade-like - but he is dumb so he says rapist instead of rapier.
I was wondering the same thing...thanks for clarifying. You will find him. I didn't know about your love of smelly dry erase markers...peculiar:)
seriously Liz, you are hilarious and so cute.
love the post...and best of luck! :)
Hi Liz. . .its Cassie's sister-in-law, Tracie. Have you read Shannon Hale's latest book, Austenland? You would LOVE it! If you have read it, please comment. If not, go to your nearest book dealer right after work and BUY IT. I anxiously await a future post on this volume from a fellow Pride and Prejudice lover.
tracie! thanks for that very important information. i will go out straightaway and get that book...after i finish eclipse, of course.
ps. you need to start a bloggie blog. i would just love to read about the inter-workings of your genius miss trace.
Seriously, thought, there IS something about British accents. Like, for example, Jude Law in The Holiday: he is a beaut by himself, but that accent really brings out the "rapist wit" in me (and I actualy mean that quite literally)!
