Another year over, another year closer...
Wow. Exams are over for me :) All assignments in, and I just have to hand in my music portfolio by Friday. Things are all set to change.
By the way. A little tip for the future - you can learn from my silliness. When you put your car in for a service, make sure you keep asking for a quote and making sure you can pay the full amount. Otherwise you won't get your car back. I'm not whingeing, it was my fault for not asking for a quote, but make sure you can pay :)
Hmm... I've been told that the new Mr Darcy, although not as hot, has that 'something' that Johnny Depp has. Hmm... this is creating an imbalance in the force, there be too many young men who make women blush just by having their top button undone.
What is there for us mere mortals to do?
There unfortunately seems to be no formula that defines this "blushing" quality that some men have. Mr Darcy (the new one) can't even be called attractive by the girls, but he's still making them swoon and perspire lightly by the thousands.
I think it's just something that happens in the movies... we can't control anything. I mean think about it - if any male nowadays were to unbutton their top two buttons, we'd be brushed aside pretty quickly. Ladies, don't say it depends on who's unbuttoned their top two buttons, the most gorgeous guy you can imagine with his top two buttons thrown asunder can only look as good as a pimp.
Anyway. That's my tirade for today. I'm off to enjoy the smell of freedom. It smells like twisties and dvd's.

Its absolute bollocks really. Its simply an idealistic "reality" purported by the medium of film. Females, being the fickle creatures that they are, latch on to such an image as being ideal or quentissential. Not to say that men don't do the same thing...however it seems rather odd that something that would look rather skeazy and underhanded in real life (undoing your top two buttons) can somehow appeal when shown on celluloid. And thus the mystery of woman continues unabated..
we are not fickle! he just has something going for him. it's hard to define *shrug*
Unless he can finish my assignment, I don't care how many buttons are on his shirt, done up or otherwise.
he was an olden day guy so i soubt he knows what you know to finish the assignment :-( sorry darl
Aaron you been taking them happy pills again?
The miracle of Hollywood:
Take any ugly fella, put him on the big screen, and wella, women want him.
Makes you wonder if there is a defined stereotype of a good-looking guy, or if it's just fame and fortune that attract women. After watching Pride and Prejudice, I am inclined to conclude that it's just a matter of money, the more money you have the better the woman you can get, and that's true romance.
Amen brother, amen.
I cannot refrain, I simply must comment.....
It is a sweeping generalisation to say that all women, to quote Aaron, "latch on to such an image as being ideal or quintessential." And Aaron, I thought a university such as UQ would have taught you not to make generalisations? ;-)
And I think, Trevor and Luke, that you ought to reconsider the inclination to conclude that romance is simply a matter of money :-p
Finally, I can't believe that someone who doesn't actually exist is causing such a stir. I recommend that we all forget about the new Pride and Prejudice and mvoe on to something much more important - Finding Nemo, for example ;-)
And I would also like to add that if I had to choose between hanging out with Mr Darcy, and hanging out with you guys, there would be no contest - you guys would win. And I'm exceedingly glad you leave your shirts buttoned up :-)
ok. here are my views on why females are muddled.
so, females are (as children) given the idea on how the 'perfect' man should be. i blame disney. all those princes and not a scoundral among them. but if u place an idea in a childs head it's sure to stick with them. hence why a lot of girls are waiting for their prince charming :-P
real guys aren't prince charming. but then a girl may find one who meets some of those ideas, so she claims she has found her prince charming.
so boys, study up on your disney price manners and you'll stand a chance :-P
(no i don't believe a word i just wrote but i'm rambling so there it is *shrug*)
Man, this comments section is starting to tick me off. But maybe that's cos it's really late. I'm not sure why yet, but when I've had a good sleep and a good think, I'm coming back to let you know why.
Hmm, what Jess said probably does have psychological base to it. All children, irrespective of gender, place an ideal on what they're raised to expect from an individual in a certain role..the one in question being stereotypical prince like husband material. So therefore maybe she's right, maybe the flood of so called "prince charmings" contained within the material presented to girls as small children results in this unattainable standard for which we're supposed to somehow reach. Hmmm...silly things those women.
thank you aaron.
and i never said that all women stick to these ideals pat. so you may now be quiet. ppl grow out of them. when i was little i wanted the beast from beauty and the beast (i thought he was sweet plus i was an odd child), another girl i know wanted eric from the little mermaid, another wanted peter pan. we all grow out of the fictional character stage!
True...perhaps I was just blithering some unintelligible psycho babble..apologies, i do that sometimes:) And no i don't really think women are fickle or odd, in truth they're generally rather nice creatures albeit hard to understand occasionally.
Thanks for that Aaron :-) May I now take this opportunity to completely and utterly ruin your ideas about women by saying that I am now the owner of a Pride and Prejudice bookmark with a picture of - well, you guess who - on it :-p
Postscript: But I am not swooning over him, nor do I wish to marry the man. (Considering he doesn't exist, it would be a little tricky......) In fact I think he is suited to one girl only, and that would be Elizabeth Bennet :-p
I think that if a guy is in public - keep the shirt buttoned! It does have the blush factor - for some of us anyway.
I have never really liked Mr. Darcy. He really annoys me and I think that if I knew him in real life I may well test my limits and strangle him.
Some women are fickle but all have their quirks and are emotionally imbalanced i can say that seeing as though i am a girl and definitely difficult to understand - all those different looks have different meanings!
And no; not all girls are after money - i plan to be a missionary so obviously the guy i marry if i ever do - is most likely ging to be dirt poor or there abouts and very human but Pat everyone wants to be loved unconditionally, someone who stands up for us and fights for the good of us and humankind that's the draw card that prince charming offers but the real lover of our souls and who ultimately fulfills is Jesus. no human or fictional character can ever do that whether you're married, engaged, or dating or single. Like the saying goes Jesus is the answer to the world today!!!
