Day 8: Classic

Day 8: Classic

          I saw the 2011 movie before I read the book and I thought it was the most boring and pointless movie I had ever seen. It frustrated me that I didn't like and I couldn't see the point in it. But there was something about it that held my attention. I knew that because it frustrated me so much. Something about that movie was lodged in my brain and wouldn't leave. I finally decided to read the book and try to force myself to like it. I was pleasantly surprised to discover that I didn't have to force myself. I understood so much more of the themes, the symbolism, and just the overall emotion of Jane's story when I read it. Now it is one of my favorite classics and I'm actually currently re-reading it right now!

Day 23

Writing Challenge #23: Post Pictures of Five Guys Who Are Famous And You Find Attractive
          Well, I am going to have fun with this one. Should I do 5 as the most attractive or 1? Maybe I should start with 1...

          Guy #5: You know what? I can't even rank them! They're all so adorable and I just want to give them a hug or a high five or something.
       
          Guys 1-5 in no particular order: Everyone say hi to Brenton Thwaites, Eugene Fitzherbert, Joseph Gordon Levitt, Orlando Bloom, and Aragorn. (And yes, I can have fictional characters if I want to!)
Aragorn (Viggo Mortensen)

Apparently I have a thing for brunettes. Lucky for me, so does Eugene Fitzherbert...Now this was really hard to pick five, so I hope you don't mind if I chose a few honorable mentions? Of course you don't! Here they are:
riff raff, street rat. I don't buy that. IF only they's look closer. They wont see a poor boy, noseree, they'd find out theres no much more to me.Celebrities by the Los Angeles Times in 2011: Chris EvansI don't often go all fan girl full of squee, but when I do, it's because Tom Hiddleston. Saucy minx.Ummm... That is JUST FINE.            Theo James is in it. | 29 Extremely Important Reasons To Go See “Divergent”Ansel Elgort

And lastly, even if they aren't my favorite, I have a pair that just have to be on here for my most dedicated reader. I present, the Franco brothers!

                      they're adorable.

I realize this wasn't really a writing challenge. All I had to do was post pictures of attractive guys. Not too hard, right? Lucky for you, my book quote today is really long, so that should keep you occupied for some time.

“Do you think I am an automaton? — a machine without feelings? and can bear to have my morsel of bread snatched from my lips, and my drop of living water dashed from my cup? Do you think, because I am poor, obscure, plain, and little, I am soulless and heartless? You think wrong! — I have as much soul as you — and full as much heart! And if God had gifted me with some beauty and much wealth, I should have made it as hard for you to leave me, as it is now for me to leave you. I am not talking to you now through the medium of custom, conventionalities, nor even of mortal flesh: it is my spirit that addresses your spirit; just as if both had passed through the grave, and we stood at God's feet, equal — as we are!” -Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte
