#snapback thoughts

It's hard enough to wrap my mind around the concept when Mr. & Mrs. Bennet's casting alone has shook me. Tf you mean the man I saw losing his mind over his daughters in Downton Abbey that also had a chilling performance in a movie I can't remember the name of to save my life is Mr. Bennet? What do you mean Alex Kingston, aka River Song from Doctor Who is Mrs. Bennet?

Not to mention they took the news of a far away friend that they've never heard of coming to visit while their daughter, Elizabeth, is gone "to visit said friend" (but is actually in the modern world and closed the door behind her) so well and just... let her stay in the house and introduce her to Mr. Bingley who, unfortunately, I have on pause staring at Ms. Price's cleavage to make this post (yes, she is wearing modern clothes; yes, Kitty (I think) asked about her clothes at breakfast; yes, they believed her lies that it's a hunting outfit... no, I will be answering no further questions regarding this).

I looked at Captain Wentworth's face in Persuasion for two hours, jumped to Jane Eyre where the same actor has a mustache and longer hair and thought "his eye shape and brow remind me of the dude who played Doc Ock in Spiderman... is he?"

I forgot how much you can learn even as an adult when watching it. I learned about birds I didn't know about, and making spinach egg rolls, and a Ukrainian lullaby.

So as a wee babe (before my memory really set in), I had run to dad in another room to take care of a spider that was gone by the time I got back. From then, I killed them myself bc I wasn't losing one in my room again. But then I noticed my dad would call for me to grab a cup and catch them and take them outside (spiders, bees, lizards, mosquito eaters, and even flies if they hadn't annoyed us for multiple hours/days). So eventually I started doing the same and I got pretty good (rip the one lizard I accidentally killed with the cup, I remember crying to my parents about it so I had to be pretty young).

Then I lived alone with no readily available cups/people to bring me one and I had to kill them for my peace of mind. Now that I have a roomie again, there's just a bug catching cup in the living room that I'll ask for when they're home.
