Well, I have enjoyed the writings of Miss Jane Austen since I was 15. In various stages of life I have found kindred spirits who shared my appreciation for all things Austen.
I think that the most avid group contains Kelli, Hannah, and Anne. I mean, we even started an Austen blog. (which we no longer update and apparently has been deleted)
However, I am finding a new group of Austen fans down here in Florida: Tiffany and Kelly.
Last night we went to the dollar (which is really $1.75) movie theater to watch "Becoming Jane". We knew that it wasn't going to be OUR Austen. But it was nice just to revive the Austen bug.
And I was able to take Naomi to her first Austen experience. And she moved and kicked the whole time. She seemed to enjoy it. And so did I.
And the title... a well thought out homage to "Pride and Prejudice" furnished by Tiffany. (Mad Props, yo.)

Very creative title!! I'm glad you were able to have some Austen time. Hannah and I went to see the movie while I was in the States and we thought it was a good movie even though it wasn't entirely factual. And I still can't really picture Hathaway as Jane Austen. And come one people... Jane was a very popular name back then... Tom's daughter was named after a family member!!! Sorry... as you said, we can get a little passionate. Anyway, Rachel has already been exposed to the awesome BBC P&P and I'm sure she will continue to be. I hope she enjoys it like I do and that we can read the books together someday (I even bought a shortened version of P&P that was written for kids). I'm glad that you have a daughter to share Austen with too!! Love the Jane!!
Thanks for the mad props, Wine Whore!
(In case anyone else was wondering, that was a title listed in the credits and we laughed hysterically about it. There's no dark side of Daisha to accompany that -- just to squelch any speculation before it even begins...)
