Oh My Knightly

Everyone who knows me knows how much I love reading.
Especially literature.
So, you know, Jane Austen should be a breeze. Especially if I have to read it for class.
But Emma is so......
Boring.


Ten pages all about manners throughout a dinner party, and whether someone's social status is high enough to be in the same room as Emma, because God forbid she dances with *gasp*...a merchant!
What would people say?


Albeit, I've never read Austen's other works yet besides the overly familiar Pride and Prejudice. I am well aware that I am comparing Emma to Elizabeth Bennet, which is probably why Emma annoys me so much. How could Austen write such a character after penning someone like Elizabeth Bennet? Of course I could be totally missing the point, because I'm not sure whether or not Austen is being satirical or not.
Either way, Elizabeth Bennet would have made fun of Emma.
And so shall I.
But I must finish the novel first.


Okay. Must stop analyzing literature for two minutes.


Today was good. I had three classes, two of them my favorites and one of them I declare the death of me. I will be happier once my Comm class is over.
I didn't have to work today, which was nice. I could have let my partner know but I didn't know until I had already left campus and I had too much to do.
I got my Northface jacket in the mail. I ordered it Saturday, so Northface is on a roll. It's really warm and it fits, which is good. I'm pretty pleased.


My parents introduced me to The Spiral Staircase. I knew the song More Today than Yesterday (Thanks, Ally McBeal) but I didn't know who sang it. (Besides Richard Fish).


I watched Glee over at Lakeley's which was nice. I miss going over there regularly. I miss when Glee was simple and the kids seemed so lovable and weird. Now they are kind of turning more edgy and sexual. Maybe they will go back to their roots.


And I had lunch with Emily, which was really nice. I like our little random lunch dates. It makes me feel like I have a life.


Now I guess I should go read the 200 pages I have left. It's gonna be a long night.
Oh my Knightly.


Alas, I'll leave you with a song.


Cue: More Today Than Yesterday  - The Spiral Staircase


I don't remember what day it was
I didn't notice what time it was
All I know is that I fell in love with you
And if all my dreams come true
I'll be spending time with you

Every day's a new day in love with you
With each day comes a new way of loving you
Every time I kiss your lips my mind starts to wander
And if all my dreams come true
I'll be spending time with you

Oh, I love you more today than yesterday
But not as much as tomorrow
I love you more today than yesterday
But, darling, not as much as tomorrow

Tomorrow's date means springtime's just a day away
Cupid, we don't need ya now, be on your way
I thank the lord for love like ours that grows ever stronger
And I always will be true
I know you feel the same way too

Oh, I love you more today than yesterday
But not as much as tomorrow
I love you more today than yesterday
But only half as much as tomorrow
