Another Anne post

I'm sorry. I just can't help it.

Last night I was reading Anne of Avonlea and I just loved this paragraph.

"Anne had no sooner uttered the phrase, 'house o' dreams' than it captivated her fancy and she immediately began the erection of one of her own. It was of course, tenanted by an ideal master, dark, proud, and melancholy; but oddly enough, Gilbert Blythe persisted in hanging about too, helping her arrange pictures, lay out gardens, and accomplish sundry other tasks which a proud and melancholy hero evidently considered beneath his dignity. Anne tried to banish Gilbert from her castle in Spain but, somehow, he went on being there, so Anne, being in a hurry, gave up the attempt."

Even Anne's imagination knows Anne and Gilbert are perfect for each other!

All I know is that I want someone who will help me arrange pictures and accomplish sundry tasks. I could care less about laying out a garden because I would just kill it a few days after it was planted.

Personally, I think it's a miracle my roommates and I haven't killed Jess's bamboo - even though they're suppose to be impossible to kill. We would be the first ones to do it. Especially given the fact that we go weeks without watering it.

Anne thinks she wants a proud and melancholy husband. But her imagination has a different opinion, and know she needs Gilbert.

I agree with her imagination.

I've been sick so my brain is a little fuzzy

Here's a list of what I've been doing

1. watch Mighty Morphing Power Rangers: The Movie

This movie is a classic. I even had to watch it on VHS. Now let me tell you, I use to be a big Power Ranger's fan. Just look at this...

Yep, I had Pink Power Ranger footie pajamas. Talk about legit.

Even though I apparently was a fan since birth, Power Rangers just could not compete with Barbie. For example, when I was 5 and had my tonsils out my dad gave me the choice between Power Ranger Trading Coins or Shaving Ken (my parents had to bribe me for stuff like this. Once I got silky Princess Jasmine pajamas for being good and getting my blood drawn). I remember it being a hard choice, but Shaving Ken won.

Just look at him, how could he not win? He had real hair and clothes! My only other Ken had plastic blonde hair and a pink swim suit. Plus it was just not fair to all my Barbie's that they had to compete over only one Ken. And let me tell you, I am way more sympathetic to them now because I know exactly what it's like...

2. Finished 5 books

I was sick, plus all the books I had on hold at the Library came in. And I just can't help it that I have to find out what happens! Plus my dad isn't here to take my book away at 11 o'clock at night so that I'll go to sleep.

3. Made caramel brownies and chicken tortilla soup

Caramel brownies changed my life the first time Brooke made them for me, and I was really craving them. The chicken tortilla soup was really yummy too. I just finished the last of it for lunch.

4. Played Super Nintendo

Apparently this was an old school weekend. I suck at most video games, so I lost a lot, but it was way fun.

Katie's ultimate list of the best couples ever

Well the best couples from literature, TV, and movies that is. Naturally when it comes to best couples ever including real people, me and my future, yet to be determined, husband will take the heart shaped cake. (I really do have a heart shaped cake pan...no joke.)

Laura Ingalls Wilder and Almanzo Wilder

He calls her Bess. She calls him Manly. Could it get anymore perfect? Why, yes it can. He drives through freezing weather with his Morgans, Prince and Lady, to pick her up from her school so she doesn't have to stay the weekend with the dreadful Mrs. Foster. And takes her on Sunday rides through the South Dakota prairie. And builds her an awesome house with a really cool pantry. Also, they're real people! So that just makes it even better. Oh how I idolize Laura Ingalls Wilder...

Elinor Dashwood and Edward Ferris

While most people favor Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy (who I almost put instead), I decided that Elinor and Edward's relationship is way more up to my speed. Chances are this would totally be me. I can identify with Elinor. Which just makes it all the more triumphant when everything finally works out for them.

Ariel and Prince Eric

Aw, love at first sight. I mean it was fireworks the night they first saw each other. Not even the fact that she has a fish tail can keep them apart. They sacrifice so much to be together, I mean they have a whole ocean and a fat octopus between them. Plus they just look good together.

Anne Shirley and Gilbert Blythe

Oh, Anne and Gilbert, what else can you say. From the very beginning you know they are meant for each other, yet Anne is just so darn stubborn. And then Gilbert is so cute and charming with his good looks and Canadian accent. Then it looks like they'll be together forever and Anne crushes Gilbert's poor little heart. And when Anne realizes she made a mistake, Gilbert has the audacity to be engaged to another woman! It's all just so tragical. Luckily, they do end up together right after Gilbert is nursed back to health from the brink of death. If not, I would be forced into the depths of despair and therefore find it hard to believe that true love really does exist and make a vow with Brooke to always be old maids together.

Ella and Prince Char

Ella Enchanted is probably one of my most favorite books in the history of the world. Right up there with Harry Potter and the Little House books. When Ella saves Char and breaks the curse, its like anything in the world is possible. Plus, they wander through an old castle and slide down banisters. Talk about a pretty sweet date.
