“From the very beginning— from the first moment, I may almost say— of my acquaintance with you, your manners, impressing me with the fullest belief of your arrogance, your conceit, and your selfish disdain of the feelings of others, were such as to form the groundwork of disapprobation on which succeeding events have built so immovable a dislike; and I had not known you a month before I felt that you were the last man in the world whom I could ever be prevailed on to marry.”

– cursing like Miss Bennet

This movie sounds awesome.

When I put a hand on a guy’s knee, I usually have intentions that go well past friendship. But then, if I describe him as “really nice”, I definitely don’t mean smoking hot. Maybe she just couldn’t say it in front of you and all of her friends.

I loved this piece. I laughed a lot, but it also made my heart ached. Not really for for you - I think it just reminded me of what it’s like to be referred to as ‘nice’. Being labelled nice makes me feel like my gran. It really is that bad.

I think most who read this will know what it is like to be forever relegated to the realm of ’sweet and cute’, of which nice is a province. These words kill me.

My heart goes out to you Jason , it really does feel like a mountain crushing down on you when you hear the adjective “nice” being used by the girl for whom you have the hots.

I have been in this region where no matter what you do the series doesn’t converge and all you are left with are the sweet nothings.

“…a part of me was steadfastly convinced that we were meant to be together…”

I am pretty sure that you can have this part removed.

“I don’t care about the direction of your hotness vector, just its magnitude along the awesome axis.”

I think that line just made me fall in love with you.

I love it, absolutely love it!!

I don’t know what to say about the “nice” thing though. I’ve used it when I really like the guy but feel guilty about having a boyfriend so I try to get him with a friend who I know is also really nice, so as to get him off the market, does that make sense?

Oh, and props on mentioning Elizabeth Bennet, I love Jane Austen!
