[tweetmeme source=”ibethyap”] I woke up with a desire of wanting to experience the Regency English time where everything is simple and lovely. Where I can find an incredible rake, fall in love with him and make him fall in love with me. I believe in the saying “once a rake falls in love it is forever” and I certainly would want to experience that myself.
I’ve always envisioned my rake to be the tall, dark and handsome. I’m also assuming that they have nice bodies. Funny, dependable and super sweet. Not in the normal ways of sweetness but in a way of doing things out of the ordinary, making the ladies feel special, super special. Romance novels almost always make the rakes fall in love with a spinster or shy girls. I guess the authors do that for the contrasts and it makes the fairy tale sounds sweeter. I’m not a spinster and I’m not shy. Hmm, can I make them fall head over heels over me?
I’d like to experience the 4 PM afternoon tea like it’s the most important event of each day. Nothing can be more relaxing than drinking tea and reading a book. I prefer reading a book since I can’t sew and I don’t like gossiping much. I also would like to see a duel where men fight for the ones they love. I’m a hopeless romantic I’m afraid. Reading about horse back riding and doing things that are inappropriate for a lady sounds intriguing. I like to try it all very much. Somehow, I’m unleashing my adventurous side.
I like the concept of dance cards and the idea of dancing the night literally. I think it would be super nice and sweet to be swept off your feet and make you swoon. It is my dream to see someone who can stand as my rake. I’m not a shopping person but I like the idea of choosing gowns for a ball or something. It’s like preparing for a wedding but only on a more frequent basis. To add to my excitement, I’ll get to choose the accessories to go with the gown.
I want to be trapped in Regency English, even if I won’t have the luxury of technology. I’ll take it all in exchange for a super nice and lovable rake. Living in Regency is luxury in itself because they are spending their time in balls, parks, garden, opera like there’s no problem in the world. Leaving everything to the ton to solve the financial problems. If I get a chance, I would like to oversee the financials also. Afterall, I’m an accountant.
