Elizabeth Bennet from Pride and Prejudice
Nora O’Connell

For the past few years there has been one story my entire family has been consumed with, Pride and Prejudice. It is a story about love, hate, and strength of character. Elizabeth Bennet is the main character in Pride and Prejudice. Elizabeth was very different from norm; she was outspoken and opinionated when women should have been quiet and well mannered. Jane Austen created a character that I related to very well.
The painting I did for this project is a quote from her book that took a long time to find. “There are few whom I love and fewer whom I think well. The more I see of the world the more am I dissatisfied with it”. That explains how I see this world. It is not the happy quote; it is something real to me. It explains the truth of how I view things. When I said that Elizabeth was before her time, this quote explains what I meant. She thought beyond her family and saw how people would act to get ahead when all she wanted was a life that was satisfying to her by having someone who saw her for her and not for the money, she does not have. Although in her time that’s how everyone was so she loved her family and had a few friends who she cared about but she wasn’t the type of character to go out of her way to impress someone who wasn’t impressing her.
Elizabeth Bennet inspires me because she was someone who did not surround her life in trying to find someone who she would marry. She was her own person, people did not agree with how she acted but she lived her life how she wanted. On the way, she fell for one of the most arrogant, rich, and generous man in the story. She fell in love on her own terms, and did not marry just because it was socially acceptable. That is what inspires me, someone who is strong enough to lead her own life how they want, and do it well.

so joe was pissed about his car.. thats okay. it was completely worth it. now him and all the grizzly men are cooking something up for both mikayla and my car. I'm kind of scared.

Chemistry - was never so annoyed with anyone than this one kid in my class.. he never shuts u and today im almost flipped out on him.
2nd period of chem we took a quiz and then i went to the art rooms to talk to ms waters about my self potrait but i completely changed the photo now.
English - i sat on the other side of the room and me and evan went at it today. we kept arguing and arguing about everything and mr murray was nora's just taken a chunk outta you evan today isnt she. and nick slich comes over and starts bashing on evan funniest thing. but nick called us an old married couple. oye vey. i was trying to avoid that whole scenario. THANKS NICK.
sculpture - just working on gridding out the self portrait that im not using. and sahar came in? weird but she said she was going to leeann's tomorrow and i thought that was off but i didnt say anything
horticulture - i asked her if sahar was invited and leeann was like i dont want her coming i was like oh shit.. theres going to be problems..
music through history.. kendrick. nough said.
art - sparyed some of my book to keep from smudging. uhm decided i ahted my self protrait.. and then i came home and chose a completley different picture and its coming out like rediculously good.. im really excited.

i went to get my check from delias today and it was 149. i was kinda of excited ebcause thats probably going to be my biggest check for awhiel so im not spenidng shit. haha. i need booze. tonight i guess i might hang out with jenn. probably not though.

Come back to me, It's almost easy - Avenged sevenfold.

I love the second half of that lyric. It's almost easy. It's so true. Everything you do it ALMOST easy but no quite. theres always something that gets thrown in your way. So my entire day was pretty decent. Chemistry is a bore every damn day everyone in that class either has half a brian or is drugged out or half a brain and also drugged out. I hate it. i dont get along with anyone younger than me. and even though they are only a year or so younger it still holds true. Gym. square dancing.. nough said. English.. test.. 80? im guessing. sculpture. i glazed my mug for the winter arts fesitval and glazed chrstinas mug EVERYONE had a class discution about the fight yesterday and everyone theyve fought or want to fight haha. on and now im apparetly the stoner of that class. one day this kid asked me if i did a certain project it was a hippie one to it was trippy or whatever and he goes do you somoke weed because you definatly seem like it. i just go.. oh? hah. and then today jeremy was like nora i didnt know you smoked. ever since that party last week and i goo.. yeahhh. on occasion. oh man. lunch - porn.. basically. horticulture i started to draw and matt asked me to draw him naked and declined and he got offended oh well.. we actually for once didn't talk about weed in that class today.. it was a relief. history through music leeann and i chatted out how i should not have drove home last wednesday and the party this weekend. and then i talked to kendrick about getting a job at EB's. so. that would be intrestin working with kendrick. I finally got his number haha. i'm such a dork. anyways. last period. we got onto the subject of bad kissers. which led to me and andrea talking about what happened between me and BJ and she screams to the entire class.. well we basically found your guys with your hands in each others pants and im like well thanks for screaming it for the class to hear. so now everyone thinks im a durnken whore. THANKS ANDREA. its okay though. ha. now im waiting for laura to come home from her doctors appointment. i should probably go get money shouldnt i? yep. peace.

i think i want to start writing in these again. I just dont know how I'm going to rmember to do a daily update.. i just sat here for a good half hour reading old entries. It was intense because everything i said in those entries still holds true just i'm not sad about it. reading it was hard but it was nice. I think I shall start tomorrow.. when something intresting happens haha.

Sun, 09 Sep 2007 14:48:09 GMT

well im posting a happy entry today. i always seem to just write in here when im upset. so yesterday i had a day of jsut saying FUCK IT to every situation i came across. it started when i went to glendi which is a greek festival and usually i never dance because i have two left feet. but nick grabbed my hand i was dancing and yes i do have two left feet haha. but yesterday with nikc i thought me and him were drifitng as friends but then he introduced me to people he would go " this is one of my best friends.. ive known her for awhile" so it was nice to hear that. then i came home and i felt i needed to talk to cory like thigns werent right with us and i wanted to know why so we had a longgggggg conversation like me and him have never tlaked like that. he admitted though that we were awkward around one another but then he told me why he thought i dumped him and it was the complete opposite and i told him it was because we jsut didn't click like we should like i liked him i thought he was ncie but we jsut didn't click. and he's like oh and then i proceeded to tell him that dumping him was one of the ahrdest things ive ever had to do because i didn't want to hurt him and then i told him to remember the last night we hung out how angry i was it wasnt at him i was beating myself up because i couldnt bring myself to do it and he's like i wish you told me this earlier and i was like.. well. i get scared of telling people what i think unless i know it doesnt matter anymore.. thats why im saying it now haha because it doesnt matter hah and then we got onto the subject of whitney ha.. bad idea because ive never liked the girl and i tried to not say anythign but then he asked what i thought of her and i said honestly ive never liked the girl that first impression of a bad vibe always grew when someone told me somethign negative so i'm never gonna like her and so forth that kind of ended our conversaiton but he didn't seem amd at me he said goodnight and asked when i was working and so he understood where i was coming from and everything so.. i guess we're good now. and then proceeding with the ngiht of the fuck its i ALMOST told evan how i felt about him but i didn't because i was on the vurge of crying i was so scared i had the lump in my throat and i was shaking and nervous but i didn't do it but he talked different last night he asked me how i was.. he never does that he laughed at what i said which was good and then he told me to have a good night and i said it was very polite and he said see ima nice guy haha and then he said it again and it was ncie but i ALMOST told him which scared the living shit outta me haha. but it was all good

i don't understand why i only write in here when i'm extremely confused or upset.. it makes no sense. Junior year is probably the worst year of my life. i hate it beyond everything. It's the same routine every year i'm always the one left out. I'm always the one without some guy. I hate it when my friends say how gorgeous i am or how guys aren't even worth the time. I just want people to stop lieing to me. I'm sick of being fed all these lines. If I'm so fucking awesome how come i'm still the only one without a boyfriend. I know it gets old just complaning about not having a boyfriend but i'm sick of being lonely. My one friend was talking to me yesterday saying how she likes being single you get so much time to yourself and you don't have to spend it with someone else. It's like i've been alone for so long i'm sick of just being alone i feel like i'm drifting in this world not doing anything. And to try and make me feel better they always say how guys are just trouble and that i'm lucky to not have to deal with it. Another friend said how she would die to not know what it like to love someone because then she wouldn't miss it. It almost hurt ya know. Like I would be the happiest girl to know what love was.. to share something like that with someone. It's almost ungratful for the fact she had it. People think having alone time is so awesome. You grow up way to fast because you are always thinking. your always learning from yourself and i hate it. I want someone here with me. I want to be able to go to his house when i can't handle my parents. I want to leave the country and miss something about it. When i leave for france.. i'm not missing much. I want to have stupid fights. i want to know that theres a guy out there who can care about me more than just a friend or some cool girl. It's a horrible feeling to listen to all your friends stories about their boyfriends and what they did for them. I'm so sick of hearing about everyone and their boyfriend. I'm tired of being happy for them for finding someone. and that's horrible because i want them all to be happy but i can't anymore since i dont even get a chance with anyone. I want to get ready for dates. i want a date in general. i almost feel like i can't be around people because relationships is all they talk about. I have given up searching for a guy but that still doesnt kill the feelings of wanting one. i seems to just fall in peoples laps. All those god damn love songs every band sings about. I want their lyrics to mean something. I'm such a hopless romantic at heart, i'm just affraidit'll never happen for me. this is horrible to say but i don't want to leave highschool a virgin i just dont. I don't want to lose it to just some guy. I don't want to be a random hookup with a guy who could care less. I want to know what people are tlaking about when they say it's great. My other friend i was tlaking to about it one day and he wa slike so how old are you i'm like 17 and he's like oh so you have plenty of time you have 6 years before you really need to start looking for someone. That Killed because if i don't have anything now.. will in the future it scares me that i will be alone. For him to narrow it down so much put so much fear in me. When people talk to me about relationships it kind of flys over my head becaus ei don't know what it is and i don't want to hate what relationships are before i even have one.
