Mr. Wickham
"Usually, the thing that is most special about the people we cling to is their indifference to our feelings. At some level we believe that if we can get this cold-hearted, self-absorbed "cool" person to return our devotion, then we will have proven to ourselves that we really are lovable." - random person's blog.
That's ridiculous! If that's true then why do I always fall for the out-going flirt who is anxiously waiting to sweep me off my feet--complete with broom and dust-pan? Maybe at one time I would have believed that "love is really just a game with myself", but not after this past year. Even Mr. Wickham isn't indifferent to my feelings. On the contrary. They are his entire concern. How he can pick them apart, analyzing their every fragile movement studying how to precisely respond right before he walks away. He doesn't run. He has no reason to. He is not guilty. In fact, he is completely unaware that he has done anything so meaningless or hurtful. He is attentive, well-spoken, charming and those eyes. Did I mention charming? He defined the word "Hope": Hanging On to Pretty Evils. And wrote the by-laws for unrequited love. He smells good and has that ever so progressive yet classic fashion sense. He says exactly what he should at the perfect moment. He spouts life goals that only I complete. I am everything every great art aficionado, such as he, loves to be fascinated by.....Then I wake up and realize "Wait! It's been almost two weeks since I've allowed myself to absorb his venom. Why haven't I heard from him"? I hardly think he's sitting at home pining over our last meeting. Thankfully, Lizzy inevitably rids herself of him-- all the while falling madly in love with Mr. Darcy.
What is this blog about?
Girl's....if he's too good to be true--his stuffing is lies and his charms are made up of fog. When the lights are bright you can't see what's not there, and when the wind blows he disappears. 2010- Cheers to steering clear of sweet smelling fog!
“Mr. Wickham is blessed with such happy manners as may ensure his MAKING friends--whether he may be equally capable of RETAINING them, is less certain.” ~Mr. Darcy

Oh Wickham...every girl has had/got one in their life. But the Wickhams of life just make the Darcy's that much more obvious, and that much more sweeter!!! =)
