hmmm...I think she ended up getting beheaded....

 

[Highlander II]

yeah - she did --- (i think)


hmmmmm -- anyone else???

 

[Analise]

she did get beheaded...or killed at least, by Elizabeth I.

I could see Rebecca as Elizabeth.

~ana

 

[Diamond9697]

yeah...Queen Elizabeth I would be a good choice for her...

let's see...Byron should be there....and maybe Sean Burns...any more villians that we should have come to this party or are we about done with the guest list?

 

[Highlander II]

hey - and Byron can come as -- yep -- George Gordon, Lord Byron -

what a stretch for him, 'eh??

"She walks in beauty like the night..." -- Byron

 

[Diamond9697]

:rolly2: good choice

 

[Highlander II]

what? the poem? or Byron's character?

 

[Diamond9697]

:rolly2: Yes.

 

[Highlander II]

hehehe --

couldn't pass either up --

i love that poem -- made me buy a book of Byron poetry --

Here's the whole thing (pulled from a website - copyright belongs to the Univ of Toronto, but it's, of course, Byron's poem) [Oh, and the website #'d the lines - so, if it's annoying, blame them]


1 She walks in beauty, like the night
2 Of cloudless climes and starry skies;
3 And all that's best of dark and bright
4 Meet in her aspect and her eyes:
5 Thus mellow'd to that tender light
6 Which heaven to gaudy day denies.

7 One shade the more, one ray the less,
8 Had half impair'd the nameless grace
9 Which waves in every raven tress,
10 Or softly lightens o'er her face;
11 Where thoughts serenely sweet express
12 How pure, how dear their dwelling-place.

13 And on that cheek, and o'er that brow,
14 So soft, so calm, yet eloquent,
15 The smiles that win, the tints that glow,
16 But tell of days in goodness spent,
17 A mind at peace with all below,
18 A heart whose love is innocent!

 

[Diamond9697]

I didn't think Byron was that...sentimental...I like it though...means I might need to do some research on him or something

 

[Highlander II]

Byron wrote wonderful poetry --

i'm not sure how much like the HL Byron the poet Byron was, but he may have been something of a party animal -- the Shelleys did stay at his home and have their little story writing parties and such --

 

[Diamond9697]

the little bit I do know about Byron leads me to believe that if he had been immortal then he might have been similar to the way he was portrayed in Highlander.

 

[Highlander II]

probably -- so -- he was an odd sort - but wrote some great poetry - unlike his friend Percy Shelley (his is awful)


so -- have we dressed everyone appropriately?? are we ready for the party to begin??

 

[Diamond9697]

umm...yeah...do we have to dress up too?

 

[Highlander II]

nah - b/c i could never decide who i wanted to be --

we can just show up ---

 

[Diamond9697]

*breathes a sigh of relief* that's good...cause I don't have a clue either

 

[Highlander II]

so - let's get this party started!!!


who's got the music??

 

[Analise]

*points to her winamp list* I do!

 

[Highlander II]

sweet --

okay --

so -- what shall we do to upgrade this party when we hit 2500 posts?? (we're only 400 away)
