Ganked from manycolored

The first time I took it I got the bluestocking. The chick that won't even consider a man until he can survive an intellectual duel, if she bothers to consider one at all.


I'm sorry, my dear, but you are Quite Unsuitable.
You are intelligent, beautiful and witty, but
your father was in Trade. Or your uncle owns a
gaming house. Or your brother shot himself on
inheriting the estate and discovering that
there was no money. You may even have been
born on the wrong side of the blanket.
Certainly, you are Not Quite Respectable, and
will not be invited to Society parties.
Fortunately for you, the man of your dreams can
see past your apparent ineligibility, and is
rich and powerful enough to make it stick.
Although he may at first offer you an
establishment of the most irregular kind (which
I hope for your sake you will refuse), his
thoughts will soon turn to marriage. His
family, however, will be less convinced of your
virtues, and they may do their best to make
your life miserable when they realise he is
courting you. You are, of course, too noble to
let him harm his reputation by marrying you,
and will probably run away from him and into
trouble at least once during the novel before
agreeing to marry him at the end.

Next year in England will be a movie that I *must see*. The LIbertine. Johnny Depp plays Lord Rochester (of the pornographic poetry night) and John Malkovich plays Charles II. There is nothign more I can tell about this film at this point, but to say that I must see it. And manycolored you must see it with me, becasue I'm sure there will be all sorts of clammy joys, and lots of cause for silly giggling at literary things. And Johnny Depp.

And I'm almost done with Canto 5 of the Faerie Queene, of whoch I was supposed to have 8 cantos read in teh first book. We're only doign book 1, which is good, as I really do't think I could take much more. I really don't much care for Elizabethan poetry in most cases. And god, if he makes another head villain a female character I think I'm going to have a fit. It just goes to show something about the mindset of the time, despite the fact that the country was being *ruled* by a female at the time. And also more proof that Spencer was a bastard. Tis a pity. I really wanted to read this for several years, and now I'm all disillusioned about him.
