Dear iPad,
I know you’re really busy right now, so I went ahead and took the Which Jane Austen Character Are You quiz for both of us. Hope you don’t mind.
It came out that you are Charlotte Lucas and I am Elizabeth Bennet. Which wasn’t at all what I was expecting, but if you think about it, it makes a ton of sense.
Lizzie: skirts six inches deep in mud
Me: clothes constantly smeared with peanut butter and masticated goldfish crackers
Lizzie: marries sarcastic, sensitive man who dislikes mingling
Me: DITTO
Lizzie: enjoys reading letters
Me: enjoys reading blogs
(See what I mean? It’s chilling, really.)
And then there’s you and Charlotte Lucas.
Charlotte: possesses wide array of talents ranging from the practical to the entertaining
iPad: ditto, though can only apply them one at a time
Charlotte: believes “it is better to know as little as possible of the defects of the person with whom you are to pass your life.”
iPad: might appreciate this point of view
Charlotte: makes decisions based on reason, not emotions
iPad: is a computer
Charlotte: not flashy
iPad: no Flash Player
And Lizzie and Charlotte are dear friends who, while vastly different in temperament, derive much satisfaction from their relationship—at least until Charlotte marries a man neither one of them can particularly stand to be around.
So I guess what I’m saying, dear iPad, is: I think we’ll get along just fine as long as you don’t go marrying Lady Catherine de Bourgh’s remote control.
But, you know, I was sort of hoping you’d be the Mr. Darcy of gadgets.

I would totally climb the Empire State Building for you.

Don’t worry, I’m not stalking you or anything. Well, okay, maybe a little. Maybe I’ve been scouring the interwebs for hints about you for months now. Maybe I had a little crush on you long before I ever saw your picture.
It’s just, you know, I think you and I would really hit it off. We’re so compatible.
I mean, your battery lets you run for ten hours without recharging? I have six kids—I can run for ten hours straight too!
And just look how fond I am of your little sister.
I know you’re busy basking in the spotlight right now, but I wanted to let you know that when the limelight gets old, I’m here for you.
Signed,
Your New BFF

Could we move my birthday to April this year?
