I knew he wouldn't love it, but still.

It was probably a bad idea to recommend Pride and Prejudice to a guy. He bought it too, instead of just renting it. So, he IMs me about 3/4 of the way through to tell me he's watching it. I told him to talk to me when he finished it. His reaction? "It was...interesting." He totally focused on different things than I did. He was overwhelmed by the squealing sisters when all 5 were together. He didn't think Darcy and Lizzie should/would have ended up together. Mentioned something about needing a magic wand in order for it to be possible. Ok, I kind of missed a bunch of details with my first viewing, so I'll give him that. Still...I should have known he wouldn't get it. Not that I don't plan to explain everything to him, and possibly make him watch it again :) Maybe I'm just disappointed because right away I felt like woah, major P&P love!

I do give him credit for watching such a chick flick. At least he likes Phantom of the Opera.

In other news, I'm getting myself worked-up over work stress again. Behavior is a little better this week, and my newest strategies are to stress courtesy to them, which involves killing them with kindness myself. Ok, I'm trying, I'm trying. Still, curriculum worries are getting to me.

I've decided I wont "torture" a guy by making him watch P&P. However, if he happens to be my serious boyfriend, I just might strap him down and force him saying "See? Be more like that." lol ;D

LOL I think I was partly disappointed because I really wanted *him* to get it. Oh well. It would totally be a cuddling-type movie for me, if I had someone to cuddle with. Men get that ;)

Yes, more men need to be like Darcy.
