apologies to anyone who is actually heartbroken

i ♥ my little sister, reading, poetry, sunshine, cold sunny days, the eton college universities summer school, my eton memories with david, old parisian style cafÃ©s, politics, the great outdoors, clicking my fingers to the beat, picnics, the smell of old books, the smell of coffee, clothes with stripes, going to gigs, continental markets, big old libraries with roman busts & oak doors & ladders, music, archaeology, the seaside, yoghurt, lemon-flavoured things, my garden (it's nondescript but i'm attached to it), large & interestingly shaped noses, rubbing noses in the snow, sitting outside & reading books in the summer, the english language, the hales brothers & the whole aqualung/ruth/45s ride, galleries, museums, jazz, blossom, windswept hair, grand pianos, the 1920s, gramophones, acting & the theatre, smartly dressed men, being alone with free time, country walks, black & white films, black & white photos, secrets, foreign films, harry potter, history, intellectuals, being pretentious, ipods, the lord of the rings, fireworks, lullabies, mr darcy, new york, nostalgia, femininity but not feminism, the colour green, meeting old friends & lovers unexpectedly, pearls, ugly folkish dancing, period dramas, floaty clothes, scarves, shakespeare, getting dolled up, snail mail, tea (russian caravan with milk & no sugar please), surprises!, train journeys, paris, snow flurries at the louvre, watching people in love in paris, giving nicknames to boys i find attractive like "dreamy mcfit-face" & "the boy", living aqualung breathing aqualung sleeping aqualung, feeling absolutely content with the world driving in david's car, wearing cardigans & also skirts & dresses, the word "exquisite", summer evenings, being such a girl, consciously making memories, train romances, alan dedicoat's voice, celebrating the "tea moment"

I'd like to meet:

Fitzwilliam Darcy. ♥ SCJF & EYCF ♥
♥ MY BEST FRIEND ♥
