way to go. when the darcy of your dreams come strolling down the lawns of oxford he will spot you pretending to smoke and will be swept off his feet by your unparalleled sophistication:D

i like the idea of winter sneaking in on little cat feet! all of a sudden the moon is out by 2pm and at night the dorms are lost in fog. sneaky!

HAHAHAHAHA YEAHHH WAY TO GO :D:D He'd be like, "Omg, she's pretending to SMOKE. that's HOT" PUNNY HAHA.

It's from a very lovely poem actually!! The original line goes "The fog comes. on little cat feet." I love how it conveys such cute sneakiness.

And WOW no kidding the moon comes out at 2pm?!?! That's REALLY weird!! (but strangely awesome)

One of the things I really wanted us to do together (when I thought I'd be able to stay in UK till you came) was to walk through fields of stately homes with the sun behind us, like in Pride and Prejudice....

hahahahaha i have this picture in my head of mr darcy that saying in the voice of Snake in the simpsons. tres tres degoutant.

argh walking through fields with the sun on our backs sounds like such a lovely thing to do! i really, really wish we could spend christmas together in england. maybe we can run around fields and gardens one of the summers instead. like in that gorgeous scene from brideshead!
