The best part of this morning was waking up and realizing I stayed up until twelve midnight and finished a book so I could return it to the library.<br />
Don't you just love that feeling!<br />
But the best (the BEST) news is that my grandfather got though his surgery and is now well enough to go home! Thank the Lord. Also thank you for your prayers peoples.<br />
I have offically desided to vlog! I am open for questions and please leave any of them in the comments. My dear friend, <a href="http://www.blogger.com/profile/07620370118613764421">Marissa</a>, asked me a question already so I have one. :)<br />
I have to run. God Bless!<br />

It is part of me and I will always love that about me (has anyone felt that they should go to a lecture [by Mr. Darcy] about how <u>not</u> to be vain about something you love about yourself). </i><br />
<i> Well, I just did! I have missed so many posts and I am not even going to try to go back and read them all. Pardon me please. *coughs*</i><br />
<i> But I have a few things to say today and I hope you shall listen.</i><br />
<br />
<i> My grandfather is having surgery today and he very likely could pass on. My dad left this morning to be with my grandma and we are to stay at my home. If you will be good enough please pray for him and my dad and my grandma ... it would mean a lot to me.</i><br />
<i> I have never really been that close to my grandfather but since he has began to get worse (health wise) I am beginning to see how much I love him ... and my grandma. </i><br />
<i> I am not going to be posting a lot so please do not think I have left the place. Again. *smiles*</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i> But enough about the sad things. :) I titled this post "Miss Drama Queen" because I am have a drama fit. And this is what it is all about.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i> MY font on my blog is huge. The header looks weird. Andy is gone. And their going to move from their house in two days and its all your fault!</i><br />
<i> I had to stick Toy Story in there some where.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i> But really. I am having a panic attack and don't know what to do. I have a friend coming over to watch the BBC Emma with me sometime this week and I am wondering if I should serve her tea and biscuits. Or biscuits and tea. Or should I pull a Miss Bates thing and forget the napkin because I am talking about Mr. Elton. It is all high fa looting mumbo jumbo if you ask me. </i><br />
<i> Plus I am at a standstill in my writing trying to figure out what should happen next in my story. </i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i> Over all ... I look something like this.</i><br />

Did I just quote Shakespeare? Never mind.<br />
So I have been thinking and would like the advice of all my wonderful followers. I have been thinking of starting a vlog!! Yes, yes! Big news seeing that my post was titled "to vlog or not to vlog". ;)<br />
Please tell me if I should. I am setting up polls on the right side of my blog and if you want me to vlog say yes. And if you don't do the infamous KFT ... a.k.a "Knightley Fist Thing".<br />
<br />
*laughs at self for being so witty* *NOT*<br />
<br />
Also if you voted "yes" for me to vlog, vote on what topic I should speak on (I have set up a poll on that as wall). That just sounded really official ... didn't it?<br />
<br />

And for the record I am working on a post about "The Young Victoria". Miss Woodhouse is a huge fan ... I know. I told her about it. But never mind ladies.<br />

<br />
I just brought this home from the library and I am soon going to watch it. For some reason I picked it up and wanted to watch it. Though I do know that there is only one S&S that is perfect ... I do have a interest in seeing this version.<br />
So wish me luck. Not that I would need it because I am just watching a Jane Austen film. ;) And is it just me or does Edward Farrars look old (really old) in this?<br />
<br />
God Bless you all,<br />

Yes, ladies and gents I'm back and for some reason I feel... very awkward! So don't look at me so because I am feeling bad enough as it is.<br />
I do suppose you will want an explanation so here it is.<br />
My blogging was getting to be very time consuming and I was not attending to other things in my life so I stopped for a while for rest and a fresh start.<br />
So... I am back and I hope that you are not mad at me for running off like I did.<br />
God bless you all,<br />

I will still be keeping up with peoples posts and I will still comment.<br />
But until we meet again,<br />

The end has come and I am very sad, indeed.<br />
Not as sad I should be though. :)<br />
I had lots and lots of fun despite my sickness. I hope the last week has made all of you to love Emma a little better (impossible for crazy Emma fans... until they read Emma again) and see that matchmaking may get you into bunches of trouble! :)<br />
The Emma quiz answers were answered perfectly by all who look the quiz. :) And the winner of my caption contest is...<br />

And I have a few questions for you that you all can only answer. And I am by no means copying Miss Dashwood's post.<br />
The name of my blog has bothered me for a while now. I could stand to have a little more variety where my posts go and I really could use some help.<br />
Should I start another blog that is not only about Emma or should I change the name of this blog and post about Jane Austen and period dramas? Also I've been thinking of starting a writing blog.<br />
A penny for your thoughts ladies. Thanks ever so.<br />
<br />
I've been awarded as well! By:<br />

Oh, the joy of being sick! I did not post anything yesterday because I felt that the BBC Emma Costume Study was better to be done later... after Emma Week.<br />
<div>
I am still taking entries for my <a href="http://missemmawoodhouse.blogspot.com/2012/06/emma-themed-cation-contest.html">Emma-themed Caption Contest </a>and will be until tomorrow. Then I shall choose through the entries myself... instead of letting you peoples do it. :P<br />
I know everyone is busy thinking up something for Miss Amy Dashwood's contest at <a href="http://tieyourowncravat.blogspot.com/">Sink Me</a>!</div>
<div>
But, anyway, here are some banners or buttons that I've made in honour of Emma Week. You can find them (if you think any are worth sticking on your blog) on my banner page. :) <br />

</tbody></table>
<div>
<i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">under the circumstances. I had always said that Pride and Prejudice was my favorite...... at least until recently when my sister and I watched the BBC Emma! My view on Emma </span></i><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">was forever changed! I loved it! And so in case you have never heard of Emma <b>(you poor soul) I<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"> will write a review just for you.......LOL. Anyway, Emma is a very sweet child growing up, and very privileged for her age. For at the time of her childhood, many sicknesses had broken out, taking many of the women's lives including Emma's mother. Due to the tragic loss of their mothers, many of Emma's little friends were sent off to live with cruel relatives, and well-to-do families. Emma's father, however, kept her and her sister very close after their mother's death and hired a governess, Miss Taylor, to watch over them, thankfully not sending his children away as others had done. Due to that set of circumstances, Emma grew up very happily! Only she had this one little fault... she was fascinated with the art of MATCHMAKING! When she was around the age of 10, she played out weddings under the table with her dolls! But instead of growing out of this little trifle of a habit...... she continued to practice it on real people! And then when someone of her acquaintance was married she took all credit, much to the disgust of her dear friend, Mr Knightley, and her father. Mr Knightley advises strongly against her matchmaking but keeps his sense of integrity about him at all times. </span></b></span></i></div>

<div>
<i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;">Quite a gentleman if you ask me! Later on though, Emma's matchmaking results in losing her most beloved friend and governess, Miss Taylor/Mrs Weston. Then in a desperate search for another friend, Emma comes across Miss Harriet Smith. Mr Knightley, seeing that Harriet is single.... strongly advises against the friendship, all along knowing and stating that the friendship will appeal to Emma's vanity (matchmaking). But no one else sees the danger and therefore promote the friendship. Sadly the situation does appeal to Emma's matchmaking "skills" </span></b><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;">and throws Harriet into a long and sorrowful journey. You see, Harriet had been taken to a school for girls close to Emma's house when she was a very little girl. The lady in charge of the school had received payment every month since, but now that Harriet had graduated, her "family" had never come for her. So Harriet stayed with the school helping with whatever was needed at the moment. Recently in the summer, a farming family had invited her out to the countryside with them and she had accepted. While there she had fallen in love with their son, Mr Martin, much to Emma's painful discovery! Emma quickly puts a stop to the relationship saying that Harriet </span>could be<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"> of higher rank than that and that, if so, she should NOT marry someone as low as a farmer! She then sets about the matter of finding a suitable gentleman for Harriet, but makes a huge mistake by picking Mr Elton as a suitor! Mr Elton is the town's minister, but a very, very proud man! Emma mistakes his interest in her as interest in Harriet! It all ends up a big mess when Mr. Elton proposes to Emma!!!!!!! Then surprisingly Harriet turns her attention on Mr Knightley! It is at this point that Emma realizes that SHE is in love with Mr. Knightley, her longtime friend and cannot allow Harriet to marry him! But it all turns out well in the end for Harriet finally realizes that she truly loves Mr. Martin. And Mr Knightley proposes to Emma (FINALLY)!!!! :P It is such a romantic story! I have left out some characters simply because I can not write about them all and keep your attention at the same time for I am NOT talented at writing and telling stories! ): MY most favorite characters are Emma (of course!) Mrs. Weston, Mr. Weston, and Mr. Knightly, and Miss Bates. I know you may think me crazy, but I feel terribly sorry for Miss Bates. After all she was NEVER married and lost her dear niece Jane due to financial problems when Jane was little. Miss Bates and her mother had to send there precious little Jane away to live with another family until she was grown. And so now I am sure you can see why I feel so badly for Miss Bates. Also, I must say that I love all of the amazing costumes used in the movie! They are all just beautiful! And Emma's hair......I really want to do my hair like her one of these days! Ha ha ha ha! Who doesn't? And that I believe is all I have to say on the matter!</span></b></span></i></div>

He is cool. Face it peoples! Mr Knightley is purely awesome. Not because his proposal was so great and wonderful and sweet. Not because both Jonny Lee Miller and Jeremy Northam can do the smolder. Not because he owns Donwell Abbey. Not 'cause he wears top hats! <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: xx-small;">(OK... may be)</span> It is because he is such a gentleman.<br />

In character, in manners and in everything. He is to be held up as the perfect (though he is not exactly perfect) example of the gentleman. Not Mr. Elton!<br />
He sacrificed so much in telling Emma what he thought of her meddling. First in scolding her for her interference in Harriet's life and secondly in making her see how wrong she was in openly mocking Miss Bates in the company of people who would be guided by her treatment of the lady. Think... she might have never spoken to him again. Yet she did! That was exaggerated. :)<br />

And as Hayden of Story Girl puts it... "Some girls may be looking for their Sir Percy. Some girls may be looking for their Mr Darcy. But I am looking for my Mr Knightley". <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: xx-small;">(forgive me of I misquoted that, dear) </span> That was inspirational! Those are my thought exactly... well, I may change the order. Let's not go there. :) <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: xx-small;"> </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: xx-small;"> </span> I think everyone wants a Mr Knightley! Sir Percy may be your favourite literary hero, Percy fans, but that does not mean you really want a guy who spent most of his time rescuing poor peasants from the evil clutches of... oh who were the bad guys in The Scarlet Pimpernel? Never mind. Mr Darcy may be your favourite literary hero, (cue Darcy fans)<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: xx-small;"> </span>but that does not mean that you would be happy with a guy who jumps in his pond whenever he feels like it and goes parading about your fathers grounds in a big, black coat. We know this did not happen in the book so ignore that.<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: xx-small;">("Knight in Shinning Pajamas" anyone?) hehehehe...</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: xx-small;"> </span> Nope! I think a Mr Knightley would do for all of us.<br />
He is agreeable and hardly outspoken. I know both Mr Darcy and Sir Percy are NOT outspoken! (well, Sir Percy's cover-character may be) :)<br />
But back to Mr. Knightley.<br />

Even when I watched the 1996 Emma with my mom for the first time, I always liked the guy in the coattails, but after viewing the 2009 Emma it was "like at first sight". And please tell me I am not the only one who feels that Mr Knightley is purely great? However, I did not always, really, really like Mr Knightley. Don't freak out Melody and Eva-joy!?! *sighs in relief.<br />
But anyway.<br />
I think that Jane Austen liked him the most out of all the wonderful heroes she created. He has some first rate qualities about him. He always showed such strong character in everything he did. When Robert Martin came and asked advice he gave it.<br />
You see that Mr Knightley is universally acknowledged to be a man of sound character and judgement. He is wonderful. He was wonderful when he asked Harriet to dance, too.<br />
And he is so benevolent! "PORK! Oh, what a happy pork it must have come from. HAHAHAHAH..."<br />

Tell me I am not the only one who loves this scene to pieces? It is so sweet and to tell you the truth... I tear up when it starts playing.<br />

So when all is said and done... Mr Knightely is great and shall always be great. :)<br />
And I am adding the proposal because it is just too sweet.<br />

The Miramax Emma <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: xx-small;">(as I call it) </span>is scoffed at by Janeite's more than being praised by them! Jeremy Northam and Gwyneth Paltrow are critiqued until what honor they had in playing as Emma and Mr. Knightley has... vanished. And the minor characters are laughed at (to be <i>frank</i>) and somehow this... um... '<a href="file:///Users/marcusday/Desktop/!!!%20ABIGAIL'S%20FOLDER%20!!!/Random/mad-hatter-mad-hatter-johnny-depp-10811105-500-333.jpg">guys</a>' theme song plays as he (Frank) makes his entrance in the "darker forces" scene. As <i>Maria</i> <i>Elisabeth</i> puts it. Secondly: I shall be comparing it to the BBC Emma more than I ought. Even though I raged about Janeites comparing it.</div>

Gwyneth Paltrow's Emma has been said to be too old for the part. I disagree! Though she is not as young as Emma is supposed to be she does not seem <i>old</i> but then again... which actor <i>did</i> seem 'young enough'? She has the elegance, the snobbery, and the matchmaker sparkle in her eye.<br />
She can be sweet and artless and then she can be plotting and planning everyone's lives for them. Overall this Emma is not wholly bad. No, indeed!<br />
She is my favourite and my idea on that shall not be moved even if everyone does love <i>RG</i> best. :) <br />

First I would like to say something about Jeremy Northam's Mr. Knightley. Wait! I'll say something later in the week. :) *winks at Miss Woodhouse*<br />
Ahem...<br />
For my part JN's Mr. Knightley was wonderful. Yes, he may seem a little too young and is a little unlike the Mr. Knightley we know and <strike>love</strike> in the book. He is a little like a suitor instead of an "old family friend" but I am not bothered in the least on that score. He is very nice, very dashing (Mr. Knightley was not <i>terribly</i> dashing in the book or the BBC Emma but let us forget that part about his character) I like this Mr. Knightley very much! He is not my favourite but he is a wonderful, wonderful Mr. Knightley.<br />
Defence coming quite soon. <br />

<b>Harriet Smith</b> is nice in this adaption. She was not like the book... though she was sweet and charming. She did not match the description the book gave... but she is a nice red-head. And this scene is SO funny. NO! Overly funny. </div>

<b>Mr Elton </b>was slimy to the last! You think he could have been a little bit more "gentlemanly" because Emma was always holding him up to Harriet as an example of the gentlemen. He never really struck me as a guy that would suit Harriet... I mean the actor! And I was appalled when I realized he played as a weird professor in a certain "spy" movie my younger sibling's love!<br />
Anyway I do not like this Mr. E, and to be perfectly blunt, I do not like the other one as well!<br />
This one was too... nerdy and the other one was too creepy to be Mr. Elton. But I love the fact that both Mr. Elton's have flyaway hair styles, however. :P<br />

<b>Mrs. Elton</b> was perfect! But she looked so OLD!<br />
Too old in fact to be a Mrs. Elton. But I DO think she has the voice to say, "I can tell you... there is a shocking lack of satin!" <br />
And with all her sniffs and snorts I would say I like her very much, indeed. But the other Miss Augusta Hawkins was better to be sure.<br />
Another thing. She was very persistent with Jane Fairfax in this adaption which amused me.<br />

<b>The Westons</b>. My complaint is this. You don't see enough of them. But, unlike the book, the film Mrs Weston leads Emma to realize that she indeed loves Mr Knightley.<br />
I do not think Mr. Weston would act the way this Mr. W does <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">(my! I just sounded like Mrs. E) </span> But, however, they are a cute couple and I do like the way Emma showed that she was happy about Jane and Frank marrying to make <i>him</i> happy. :P<br />

I love this Emma but it does leave out so much. The trip to Box Hill and the Strawberry picking excursion were combined. And the whole thing is not long enough for you to truly understand the characters... very well. Mr. Knightley is not shown half as much as I would like. But the quotes from this are so outrageously funny!! </div>

The archery scene was very cute.

Has this happened to you when you have a big wonderful post you have been working on for hours and slaving over for decades? <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: xx-small;">(I'm that old).</span> Anyway... Blogger can be unbearable sometimes!<br />
<br />
But now that is behind me (it really is not... if my family heard the stuff I was mourning, I would be thought of as "the girl who is a lunatic")... let us proceed with Emma Week.<br />
An Emma-themed caption contest would be wonderful and I thought I would host one for Emma Week but really this (the contest) was all planned by Eva-joy and so she must take all credit for making it up... well I did give her the idea for Emma Week. All this self-praise is not very good. Me thinks the dead-blog-post thing is really getting to my poor nerves, me dears. <br />
<br />

Will you ever forgive me?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
NO, really. I think you all need an explanation and here it is.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The reason I have not drawn a portrait in so long... um, I mean... the reason why I have not posted in so long is that my family's computer was unavailable to me for 5 days. I was unable to check for new posts and therefore I'm trying to catch up on my reading them. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There. Will that do? :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And of course there is something else... of course there is! And it is...</div>

It is a truth universally acknowledged that Mr. Darcy is disliked... everywhere. And no I am not speaking of Matthew Mcfagen's (correct the spelling if you will) Darcy. I am speaking of Colin Firth's Mr. Darcy! Yes, if you all are wondering I have been watching parts of the lovely BBC (1995) Pride and Prejudice with my sisters (and brothers).<br />
I was looking through the comments on a "Sink Me" post, in which a comment-war might have started but did not. And I came upon one that was shocking. I shall not name names or even give the exact quote. I will only say what I think of it. <br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHPSmm_wBLVAlqavGa-9sBWW0YszL7Z6SPvTPqresWwrKCxT1Dy3hTLfl3XRaCrH2shTQc_w3Ztn-zIUyEIplUv02qH7JqEBQ6wRbL-NXDoqPkVNXewuTPpaa03Sxpf09Hysa5A7ZB8l5S/s1600/PrideDarcy1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="186" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHPSmm_wBLVAlqavGa-9sBWW0YszL7Z6SPvTPqresWwrKCxT1Dy3hTLfl3XRaCrH2shTQc_w3Ztn-zIUyEIplUv02qH7JqEBQ6wRbL-NXDoqPkVNXewuTPpaa03Sxpf09Hysa5A7ZB8l5S/s320/PrideDarcy1.jpg" width="320" /></a>When we first meet Mr. Darcy he is proud, reserved and above his company. You do not think of him with a pity. NO, you think of him with a disgust (unless you like him so very much that you do not even think of that... like me) and your dislike is therefore founded.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b><i>WEEEEEEEEEEE!!!! Score 1!</i></b><br />
<br />
Please everyone... ignore that. Darcy told Miss Bingley off at the scene where she is making blah comments about Elizabeth. Really, I am watching it right now. 'Tis quite lovely. But back to the point.<br />
The comment posted on "<a href="http://tieyourowncravat.blogspot.com/">Sink ME</a>" was this. (everyone may think this is silly and very childish but <b>I </b>was distressed by it).<br />
The person actually purposed that Colin Firth's Mr. Darcy gave the appearance of plumpness<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #202020; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">!</span></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #202020; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;"> *hides in shame* But really, is that not going a little bit too far in criticizing Mr. Darcy? (or rather Colin Firth's Mr. Darcy) And so starts my post on Mr. Darcy.</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #202020; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;"> I do not see why everyone dislikes him so very much. True he is not Mr. Knightley or Mr. Tilney or a prince charming but he is not all together bad.<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"> </span></span></span>His appearance may be...<br />
<br />

Proud and too reserved. But he changes. I can understand why Janeites may dislike him and I honor any one's opinions about this gentleman. But I believe when Jane Austen was writing his character she wanted to make her readers see why pride can make someone... miserable. Darcy was not miserable but he was unhappy. How could one not be when one sits (or stands) around and tells ones friends that Miss Bennet in tolerable when everyone knows that Lizzy is lovely? <br />

I've also heard some say that Mr. Darcy does not have a sense of humour. True it is not so well developed as other literary heroes but he does have a sense of humour.<br />
He is not so witty as Sir Percy or as agreeable as Mr. Knightley or even as amazing as Gilbert Blythe. (yes, I think Gil is amazing)<br />
So many literary characters may very well be better than Mr. Darcy but he will always be my favourite. When he stepped out of Mr. Bingley's carriage I knew that he was the one. :) It did not quite happen this way. I think my obsession started as the story went on. :P<br />

This is the turning point in his character. We all can see that he wants to show Elizabeth that he can be agreeable and gentlemanly. Contrary to what she (Lizzy) was determined to think I believe that her opinion was changed. By the by, may I say something? I would like to convey something that has bothered me ever since I watched P&P 95 with one of my dearest friends. She did not like Darcy from the first! Even when his character changed and he became so wonderful. :) She disliked him so very much I was enraged. But I did not give her a piece of my mind and so I am having to live with a dear friend that hates my :) literary hero. Ah, well. </div>

I have found a wonderful new blog!<br />
May I encourage you to check it out <a href="http://thecountryhandmaiden.blogspot.com/">here</a>.<br />
<a href="http://www.blogger.com/profile/08057852084561496151">Miss Elizabeth</a> is a very encouraging young lady. :)<br />
By the way, dears, I am starting a new thing called...<br />
"Blog encouragement posts". :) Basically something<br />
I've thought up to help promote blogs I love<br />
and hopefully help you to love them as well.<br />
<br />
God Bless you,<br />
