Gnerk.
Well, I'm in a fine fiddle.
I just read Namaah_Darling's "To the Cat in the Doorway" (which is about a cat who died), so I'm all teary-eyed and what-not.
Compounding this is the book I'm currently reading.
Fingersmith
I've just started in on Maud Lily's story and, frankly: Holy Sweet Life, that girl is a jerk. I'm really quite horrified.
Mostly, I suspect, because I didn't think her so during Sue's bit in part one. Eugh. But *really*.
Anyway.
So I'm feeling rather... eugh... right now.
Does anyone else get like this? You read a book, and you start feeling how the book/story/characters are feeling? Like, I was reading The Madame a few months ago, and I had to stop because it was telling me such awful things about men and marriage, and I just thought "this can't be helping my current, recently-married, situation in the least". Neither did The Bride Stripped Bare (which I picked up and tried to read... maybe two weeks before my wedding?).
I read books written with an accent, or a particular historical setting, and the slang, the mannerisms, and all the rest of it start creeping into my own language (bodily or vocabulary, both I mean).
So, currently, my vocabularly is being influenced by both ends of the 19th Century, and a great deal of sadness, stress, misery and betrayal.
I curtsied to a co-worker today, for the love of all good things.
I mean, really.
:-\
Anyway. So. Yes. Eugh.
I think I shall watch Sense and Sensibility, and write a letter, and try to cheer myself up. :-)
