ANTI-ACTA PETITION. SIGN IT. →
Alright people, we need to concern ourselves with...

When ever I’m watching Jane Austen movies, I just want one person to stop and say:
“Wait. What do you think I’m talking about?”
seriously, when the Dashwoods think Edward got married. it would all be solved if they didn’t all call each other the SAME GODDAMN NAME. “A Mrs. Bennet, a Miss Bennet, a Miss Bennet, and a…Miss Bennet.”

Just found out that Ewan McGregor shared an apartment with Jude Law and then Jonny Lee Miller. All that sexiness in one apartment. I would say that this would be my dream home, where all my wildest dreams would come true. Haha!!

Myself as a “Regency dress up doll”

Vote for me as your favorite Austen man! →
askgeorgewickham:
‘Tis not a bad summation, to be frank and honest. I would have added one more activity to the “Games and Exercise” portion, but no one at PBS petitioned for my opinion on the topic.
Ever the surprise that I’m rounding the bottom for favorites, but I do so love rounding the bottom!
he simpers and smirks and makes love to us all!

Which Jane Austen heroine are you?
The ladies at Hellogiggles, Zooey Deschanel’s site, wrote modern characterizations of Jane Austen’s heroines. Which one do you resemble most? I think in manner, I am most like Fanny Price and Anne Elliot here, and most like Elizabeth Bennet in my beliefs.
You are quiet and unassuming. You’re more of a watcher than a go-getter. In fact, your observational skills are quite keen. You...
