language.

whenever i watch pride and prejudice i enjoy the language ever so much. i love how they are in arguments and still say wonderful, grand, long words, and somehow their meaning is very rude, and the other person takes offense to that.
now days, if you say some word that means hideous or something of the sort. it means nothing to them. they might laugh in your face, and think that you are quite strange. why does it have to be like that? i want to be able to say long, grand words that break a heart even though the word sounds quite delicate. and the person (or people) that i am speaking to would be able to understand me.
i long to be in a argument like the one Elizabeth and Lady Catherine de Bourgh have. to be able to think of such words that mean so much in that little amount of time. wouldn't it be wonderful? to be able to use that proper language all the time, and everything making sense. oh, how i wish.

i am afraid that i wish to much, and that it can get quite overboard.

if wishing too much leads you overboard, then you had better learn to swim!

Mills: be encouraged that if you keep writing so intuitively, you will someday have the command to dredge up those grandiose words whenever you wish.

I promise.

Have I told you before that your profile pic is absolutely a favorite of mine? Absolutely. And those are Danica's feet, aren't they?
