Your Score: Hamlet
You scored 54% = Tragic, 35% = Comic, 24% = Romantic, 32% = Historic
You are The Tragedy of Hamlet. Highly regarded as the best play ever written by anyone ever, Hamlet tells the story of Hamlet, the Prince of Denmark, and his desire to enact revenge on his Uncle for the murder of his father. When performed in its entirety, Hamlet is just under 4 hours long and contains many of the most recognizable phrases in the English language. But enough of that - let's get back to you. Your results tell us that you are no doubt of high intelligence and cultural grace. While sometimes a bit dark and moody, you still have the poise and respect of a royal noble. Your tragic flaw, however may be that you tend to over-analyze situations and think too much when you should act. You also may be a bit long-winded, but we like you anyway!

04:04 pm - It's Snowing in April!
Yesterday Rose and Mary bought me amazing brunch at Wiggins Tavern. Will have to lure mother there sometime. Desert table alone was superb, especially the apple crisp - joy in my mouth.
Am starting to doubt my enjoyment of the X-Wing series when one of the coolest characters is already killed off in the third book.
Snow has turned into gross rain. I think I preferred the snow.
We have Patriots' Day off - public school FTW.

12:27 am - Darcy vs. Darcy
I thought this was a great article. I just had to save a copy in my lj:  The Importance of Being Darcy By Mary Beth Ellis, MSNBC contributor Nov. 11, 2005 I was speaking to an older colleague about the latest essay I was writing; I informed her it concerned a new movie based on “Pride and Prejudice,” which she last read at approximately the same time the Earth was first cooling. And first words out of her mouth were: “Oh! Mr. Darcy!” Yes, Mr. Darcy. Thanks loads, Jane Austen, for ruining generations of perfectly good women with your ballgowns and your rolling barouches and your Mr. Darcy. Many are the ladies who wait in vain for their own personal, portable Darcy, complete with estate in Derbyshire. The number has increased since 1995, when Colin Firth took on the role for a BBC miniseries. Colin was Action Figure Darcy. He fences! He swims! He bathes! Naked! He gives and fixes and scowls and rides his horse and just in general Firths all over the place, and we are much the better for it.
