It Brings Me to Tears

When I heard we had to read Pride and Prejudice I wasn’t too excited. This is why:
After spending a week in Cuba I was more than ready to re-enter capitalism and so the first thing I did when I got to Panama was turn on the T.V.. “Pride and Prejudice” the movie (with Kiera Nightly) was on and I started watching it but got bored and switched to “Skins”, which I love and even though I had already watched the entire first two seasons a re-cap didn’t sound too bad. Lucky for me they were showing the exact episode where Chris dies mysteriously and leaves his very misunderstood and pregnant girlfriend Jal on her own (oh! The drama!). Naturally, my estrogens kicked in and I started crying the kind of cry you cry when you don’t really feel that sad.
I switched back to “Pride and Prejudice” right before my dad knocked on the door because it was dinner time and when he saw me crying and realized what I was watching said “Pride and Prejudice is boring and Kiera has an awful nose-job”.
It was the best father-daughter bonding time I’ve had in a long time.
PS: “I could easily forgive his pride, if he had not mortified mine.” Oh buuurn!
