Vampires and not the stupid sparkly kind.

I'm so bored and sick which is never a fun combo. To pass the time I'm listening to a book, actually a series of books, because I'm way too lazy to read right now. It's the Southern Vampire Mysteries, the one that the HBO t.v. series True Blood. Anyway it's amazing and I saw the t.v. show before I started reading the book. Now I'm on the 7th book and I think there are 9. I love the characters and the lady who reads the book is amazing! Anyway I'm not sure if I'm a Sookie and Bill fan or a Sookie and Eric fan. I can't really say why I like each couple because it will spoil some of the plot (not like anybody reads this but on the off chance.)

I watched this movie called Lost In Austen. Not the best movie in the world but the plot was pretty good. A modern day girl goes back in time I guess and into Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice (argh I can never spell that word. Thank goodness for spell check) and switches places with Elizabeth Bennet. The story got me thinking, wouldn't it be awesome if we could go live in certain books. I think that would be amazing, just to get to interact with these people and live their lives for a little while. Oh well, I guess I should just be content with where and when I was born. I used to want to live in a time where I would be a princess, probably around the Tudor time but I think that would have been a little scary though now I think about it. As I got older I wanted to go back to either the Victorian era or Edwardian era but I like being able to brush my teeth and take a shower. I think it would be cool to go back to the 40's. Yeah rationing everything would suck and there's that little thing called WWII going on but still I think it would be fun to live there just for a while. I mean they had cars, radio, movies, electricity, running water, and they still cared about how they looked and how they dressed when they were going out in public. No pajama pants at the grocery store for these people. And we would wear hats! I love hats in general, although I find I don't look good in them but I just love to see the people wearing them, and the cool little veil things some of them had!c


Oh I would be so happy if I got to wear a hats like those with a dress to go with it. It'd be amazing, and the big band music playing at an USO function. Then I'd probably have to buy a black one to wear to a funeral.

Okay enough of my rambling, I'm going to go look up more 1940's fashion while I listen to my book.

I love hats. I spend hours looking at vintage clothing shops online. I'd have so many if there were only an excuse to wear them!

I think I would go to either the 30's or 40's in America. I love the glamor and classiness. I love black-and-white movies, jazz music, dresses, red lipstick, records, everything.
