Surely it has to be greatest of compliments to be likened to a dashing figure of romance such as the incomparable Mr Darcy from Jane Austen's tour de force Pride and Prejudice. Even sweeter to have it come from your peerless boyfriend. Seems Charming Calvin sat through an entire weekend of the BBC television remake - after obviously giving up on ever finishing the print version - and was reminded of me. No wonder he wanted me to pen something appropriately snotty for the blog a while back.
Yet Scorpios are certifiably nuts. Bet half the drooling psychos throwing themselves onto padded walls are born in November.
And unexpected compliments do make us highly suspicious. As in bring out the binoculars and secret spy camera suspicious. Scorpios could probably find hidden menace in an interview with the late Mother Teresa.
Did I hear someone referencing dashing British gentlemen?
Time alone here had me thinking about Mr Fitzwilliam Darcy. Sure, our fine gentleman turned out to be surprisingly perfect in the role of knight in shining armour at the end of the book but wasn't he an arrogant, condescending prick in the beginning? Wonder whether he meant I was the Mr Darcy before or after the miraculous transformation.
Or was it because the taciturn Mr Darcy kept his feelings close to the vest? Or was it the way Darcy trotted faithfully into the lil village to make fun of the provincial yokels? Or is he saying that I love to butt in like Darcy did with his friend Bingley and Jane?
Or waitaminute, Calvin also caught Bridget Jones's Diary before that. Does he mean I look good in a reindeer sweater?

hahaha! I bet it was the reindeer sweater that did the trick! scorpios are certified nuts, indeed. kakaka.
It was how Mark Darcy stood by and saw the good in Bridget Jones no matter what disastrous nonsense she forked out, and defended Jones against the prick Daniel Cleaver. There, I said it.
Farnee la. Hahaha, it must be the snotty you in reindeer sweater that he sees. But very charming I imagined. Haha
We think it's the wet shirt scenes. He wants you to fall into fountains! :D
Hmmm word verification 'undess'. One letter short it is.
