Cousin love

My cousins are the greatest, just so everyone knows. I don't know where I would be without them, honestly. I have a great many wonderful friends that support me and such, but my cousins are just the cat's meow. I mean, come on, Bry just cooked me dinner and is letting me use his computer while watching his TV, and Troy just cleaned up. *sighs* I love most of my family, I really do. (How's that for open, huh?)

Pride & Prejudice is a fabulous book/movie, by the way. I'm finishing up Persuasion at home right now, although I have to take it in small chunks.

You'll all be thrilled to know that I have have had a long conversation with that person who has previously consumed my thoughts and emotional upheavals, and things are looking up, in a my-heart-will-not-rip-open-my.-chest-anymore sort of way. In fact, I think I can go so far as to say that we are friends. Please forgive me for not going into dramatic detail, but... well, I'm still kind of processing everything myself.

Anyway, the weather has fortunately taken a turn for the cooler today, thank heavens, as it has been a consistently icky 90 degrees around here for quite a few hours too long. Oooh, Dame Judi Dench sneers so perfectly. I can only wish that the weather would not revert to the sweat-inducing state in which it has existed for the last bit, but I'm afraid that I'm just going to have to..... do...... something. Like start using the air conditioning, if I'm not lucky.

I know I have been particularly bad about blogging in the last two months, and I apologize yet again. Things were starting to look a little again grim and dark, and when that happens I tend to shut down a little bit. Have I mentioned that I adore the scene with Mr. Darcy in the trench coat, no matter how anachronistic it may be? Jane Austen is so desperately romantic, except in Mansfield Park, which I don't think I'll ever be able to read again. And the weather is perfect for watching this movie. Oh, I give up, there is no hope for it, I just can't kill my inner romantic, no matter how I've tried.

So, Melina, am I allowed back on your list? Or do I need to post more than once in a two month period? *winks* Ah well, bad to your lives, dear friends, I'm going to go finish watching this movie. *sighs* And Donald Sutherland really does a great job as Mr. Bennett.
