just a little aftermath of seeing pride and prejudice. :)

[no_greater_love]

when there is a man who's desire to love me is greater than his persuit to be loved, there will be a man who's hand is worth taking. is risk and uncertainty too much to ask in love? must we wear a sign proclaiming our desperation in order to make certain his security? i find myself dreaming of a man, but at first sign's indifferent glance,

hey summer, my subject is a joke (i trust you know that)!

anyway, i second and third and fourth everyone's compliments!

AND, since i don't have lj, i've posted my thoughts (inspired mainly by your post here) on my myspace blog.

good to see you're not compromising.

...and to any guys that have commented about being more "prideful and prejudiced" please don't take offense to the comments i've blogged (if you even read them). i'd be happy to explain them in person!

heh well that was very good, summer. the one thing i dont like about chick flicks though (although ive yet to see p&p) is that they paint a perfect picture of a guy for all the girls to oogle over, then (some) girls expect guys to be like that. the problem is, in this kind of romance type stuff, the guy mysteriously knows how to read a girl's emotions and how shes feeling so he can act accordingly perfectly. in reality, us boys cant really do that (although if i could i would :). otherwise we could eliminate countless talks in the car such as "i dont know what the heck shes doing what in the world is she trying to tell me ahhhhhhhhhh!! i dont know what to do! should i do anything?" and yes...thats happened many a time :)

i agree with you fully not to settle, but unfortunately if youre looking for the guy in the movie, youll never find him.

thats not to say that i wont follow values of chivalry and selfless love, but i am human and i will fall short of perfect...and i am still learning :)

summer you're such a talented writer. i really hope to some day be able to write and maybe publish some poetry, but for now, i feel like i can't write anything that's not really horribly cleche, and what's more, i can't get up the guts to show other people and ask if they think it's good or not, but you don't have any problem posting a paragraph of beautiful prose on the internet where everyone can see! and believe me, it is very beautiful.

also, i read Jeremy's blog on his myspace, and if you havent already, u should read it. he's really right about everything he said, and he didn't post it here, so he may not want it on livejournal, so i won't go saying every detail he said, but your post is a real challenge to me to live as the standard and not see girls like u SETTING the standard and then me trying to MAKE that standard.

i think you're a Godly girl, and i've got alot to learn from the guy who will someday wisk you off your feet and win your hand in marraige.
