Lost In Austen :]

This show is possibly the most comedic piece of entertainment I have ever watched. Seriously. I was laughing out loud quite literally. It definitely puts a twist on one of Jane Austen's most beloved books Pride & Prejudice. It was so funny and so not like the book that I couldn't help but fall in love with it :]

Lost in Austen is the story of a young insurance representative's love for Jane Austen, especially Pride & Prejudice ( SO AM I :] )and how the world of fiction she adores clashes with the world of reality she lives. ( I have the SAME problem. lol.)

Amanda Price is an ardent Jane Austen fan. She's bored with her job during the day and frustrated with her boyfriend Michael at night. In between she "patches" herself up with Jane Austen. One evening she's home alone enjoying yet again the haughty veneer of Mr. Darcy when she is interrupted by her drunk boyfriend who proposes to her with a beer tab then passes out. Luckily she's playing it smart and holding out for something better but she really isn't sure what. A bit later Amanda hears some noices in the bathroom and goes to inspect. She finds no other than Elizabeth Bennet in her nightclothes standing in the tub. After a short conversation Miss Bennet is out of sight, leaving Amanda to think she's suffering from "too much Austen".

The following night Amanda continues on with her book as if nothing has happened. Again Elizabeth appears in the bathroom. This time she is fully clothed and completely encouraging of this wonder. Amanda ventures through the secret door adjoining the two worlds to check the realism of what appears to be an eighteenth century home and it closes behind her; leaving her in the Bennet house and Elizabeth in her bathroom. Amanda quickly assumes the position of "a friend of Miss Elizabeth" with the guise that Elizabeth is visiting her home to write a novel and she is visiting the Bennet home. Good manners being the top priority, no one questions this and Amanda is quickly given one of Lizzie's dresses and welcomed into the family and the society they participate in.

As Amanda moves through the day to day lives of the Bennets, Bingleys and Darcys she suffers one blunder after another completely changing the beloved Pride and Prejudice storyline. Before she knows it, Jane has married Mr. Collins, Bingley has become a depressed drunk and Mr. Darcy has fallen in love with the wrong woman. At first she tries to get things to go according to the legendary novel but as things continue to get worse she gives in hoping things will work out for the best. I was pleasantly surprised at how engaging the series is.I loved watching to see what Amanda Price would cack up next and how the characters responded to her. It was hilarious at how she tries to keep up with the present time yet fumbles with her common London slang. Like " bumrushers " :] basically I love it. SPOILER ALERT there is a very funny and HOT pond scene where Mr.Darcy does a Colin Firth dip in the pond . ITS HILARIOUS ! ahahhaa :]

Capt.Wentworths Letter

I guess you can say I'm OBSESSED. But I don't care. This was probably my favorite part from the book (Persuasion by Jane Austen) I literally was screaming reading this part because well its so damn cute..RIGHT? okay Just making sure :]"I can listen no longer in silence. I must speak to you by such means
as are within my reach. You pierce my soul. I am half agony,
half hope. Tell me not that I am too late, that such precious feelings
are gone for ever. I offer myself to you again with a heart
even more your own than when you almost broke it, eight years
and a half ago. Dare not say that man forgets sooner than woman,
that his love has an earlier death. I have loved none but you.
Unjust I may have been, weak and resentful I have been,
but never inconstant. You alone have brought me to Bath.
For you alone, I think and plan. Have you not seen this?
Can you fail to have understood my wishes? I had not waited even
these ten days, could I have read your feelings, as I think you must have
penetrated mine. I can hardly write. I am every instant hearing
something which overpowers me. You sink your voice, but I can
distinguish the tones of that voice when they would be lost on others.
Too good, too excellent creature! You do us justice, indeed.
You do believe that there is true attachment and constancy among men.
Believe it to be most fervent, most undeviating, in F. W.

"I must go, uncertain of my fate; but I shall return hither,
or follow your party, as soon as possible. A word, a look,
will be enough to decide whether I enter your father's house
this evening or never."
