Mr Darcy and Aragorn

Finally I got to watch "Pride & Prejudice". With 2 single ladies, no less. It's not that bad really... I thought it was a delight to watch, especially the group dancing scenes.. seems to me that the people that time live a rather carefree life, and dancing is quite a thing back then. And a great opportunity to let young men and young ladies to get acquainted, given that they normally live in their own quaters (Read: HOME ) and seldom have contact with each other.

Like the last bit when Elizabeth finally got together with Mr Darcy, and she had a condition that he can only address her as Mrs Darcy when he is extremeley *and many other chim words* happy. No wonder this literary work is such a hit with women nowadays. Elizabeth is every part of the modern woman. We are clever, but sometimes, too clever. And faced with the man that caught our fancies, we still pretend to be distant. Likewise for the man. And the fiery and fiesty and witty sparring of words between Darcy and Elizabeth is rather entertaining I must say.

It's just the thing in both sexes/genders. Why we do that, I guess we have no answer. It's always a constant chasing.

*In a beautiful English accent* Where's my Mr Darcy?

Then come back home, right now LOTR Part 1 is on tv. I see Aragorn talking to Boromir, wearing the Evenstar necklace that Arwen gave him. Now this is one man I know who is not ashamed to wear a ladies accessory with pride.

I have one of those Evenstar too. Was given to me as a birthday gift by a bunch of friends, the leading one knows I love that when we went to the LOTR exhibition and bought it as a gift for me. I have wore it quite a number of times and I think now it's tangle with my other necklaces. I ought to bring it out and polish and put it back to the box to do justice to it, I guess.

And I am still wondering.. Where is my Aragorn, whom I can give this Evenstar to? It's a joke I came up with after people start to question who gave me the necklace. Me, being me, who don't have the habit of deceiving unnecessarily, told them the truth of its origins initially. Then, later, I thought it'd be fun to just use it as a joke to tell people I am still looking for my Aragorn, given my current (and still is) single status.

Arrrrrr-agorn, where r u? Mr Darcy, are you around?
