Watch too much television

Day 3

Today's picture challenge is a picture of the cast from my favortie television show. For me this is incredibly hard.
The Contenders are:

• Doctor Who
• Glee
• Top Gear
• How I Met Your Mother
• The Big Bang Theory
• Primeval
• Torchwood
• Gossip Girl
• Coupling
• Fawlty Towers
• Lost

So you can see I watch entirely too much television. But when it comes down to it, Doctor Who wins...by far.

The New Season
From Left to Right: Rory(Arthur Davill), Amy(Karen Gillian), and the Doctor(Matt Smith)

All the Doctors :D

 This show is awesome and everytime I watch it, I smile :)

Day 2

The challenge for today is a picture of  you and the person you have been close to for the longest. Now while many people put there parents, I have not till recently been very close with them, next would be my brother, but once again we are not particulary close, so...the person is my best friend, and now my sister.

We have had our ups and downs but in the end, she has been there for me.

So I haven't posted in awhile, because quite frankly I didn't know what to write about. I don't want this blog to be a diary, but I also don't want it to only be a social commentary. The reason I named it "The Darcy Syndrome" is because I love Pride and Prejudice and I felt that it would be a good way to intertwine life and fiction; however, I do not feel as if I have been very sucessfull in merging the two. So I am starting anew with something a bit simpler and that will give me direction and then from there I shall branch out. So thus shall begin my 60 day picture challenge!

Perfection

      We all strive for perfection. We push ourselves to the brink, hoping that perfection isn't as far as we think.We chase this goal but in most cases we judge our perfection from other's opinions and other's standards, very rarely do we look at ourselves independently. Perfection is difficult to acheive because the perfection we have defined doesn't exist. Dressing up, putting on makeup, keeping up with the latest fad, all of these things are actions we do in order to achieve perfection for others, because society mandates it, but this only takes us to acceptable. In order to be perfect in our world, we must  be sincere with our emotions, yet never show them, we must know everything, but act like there is more to learn, we must excel at everything, yet not be too good lest it provoke jealousy in others. Perfection, in our world, is a bunch of contradictions. This is why we must look at ourselves with a new perspective, because perfection starts within. It starts with knowing yourself and then searching deeper and loving who you are. Yes, this is a cliche, but so is perfection. If we can appreciate ourselves despite what the world says about who we have to be, then we can change the expectations society places on us, and we can make perfection achievable for everyone.

What is TDS?

      The Darcy Syndrome(TDS): First recorded in the year 1813, when Jane Austen published her novel Pride and Prejudice, TDS continues strong in today's world. TDS is charecterized by an immense love for the character Mr. Darcy, so intense that no other man seems good enough. Many TDS sufferers are crippled by these high expectations, and never meet anyone with Mr. Darcy's sauve sophistication, quizzical brows, bags of money, air of class, hard exterior, and soft heart. They are always on the search of this elusive man, never learning to appreciate what is around them. Many refuse to believe he is fictional, instead they fixate on the idea that if there are six billion people in the world, there must be a  Mr. Darcy out in the world. Hard to cure and highly contagious, there is not much hope for TDS sufferers. 
       I was diagnosed in the year 2005, and ever since then I have been plagued with high expectations, but as of today I am on the lookout for the cure: a new perspective. It will be dangerous, difficult and tiresome, but I think I am up for the challenge.
