Maria has a new BJ music video. I like this one very much, Maria! Not only it has one of my favourite songs ever (Accidentally in Love), but it's lively and definitely not sad. Though we know how it ends... but it's okay isn't it to pretend they have a happy ending?
It might get my vote for favourite BJ music video...

Jon Spence,
McAvoy knew his portrait of Tom could only come alive with the right Jane, and he found Anne Hathaway almost supernaturally suited for the part. “I don’t think we could have chosen anyone better to play Jane Austen," he says.
Jane Austen’s greatest love story was her own
‘I’m yours, Jane, heart and soul!’
~ Tom Lefroy to Jane Austen, ‘Becoming Jane’
Anything is to be preferred or endured rather than marrying without affection – JA,
Nothing can be compared to the misery of being bound without Love, bound to one, & preferring another – JA,
To be so bent on marriage, to pursue a man merely for the sake of situation – is a sort of thing that shocks me.
The film Becoming Jane has given us an image of Jane Austen that liberates our imagination. I envy readers of my book who come to it with Anne Hathaway’s image of Jane in their mind’s eye. You will not have to struggle against the image Cassandra created to see the Jane Austen who was young and pretty, lively and in love. Anne Hathaway’s skilful portrayal of Jane Austen in Becoming Jane shows that art can have as much power to bring us closer to the truth as facts themselves can.
Jon Spence,

Yes I think this is actually one of my favourites as well. :-) An I do love the song! And it suits them perfectly! :-)
Now I have to tell you my little secret. It's not really official yet, but I am PREGNANT with my first child! yey me! ;) only 7 weeks in yet, but still. I'm dilerious! We have been trying since last summer. Sorry for exploiting my personal life here, but I cannot help myself.
/hugs and kises from Maria in Sweden (and peanut in the belly)
Oh Maria congratulations. Babies are the best.

Oh,Maria, that's a SO wonderful news indeed! Congratulations!
And please don't hesitate to effuse your personal news here, particularly happy ones like this. We're all sisters (and brothers) here, we're in the same Jane/Tom family.
Oh, if it's baby girl, are you going to name her Jane? Jane Christmas? If boy, Thomas? (wink!)
How ever much I would want to name the child Jane or Thomas I am sure my darling will object loudly. but perhaps I can convince him to put it in as a second name. Perhaps Christmas, since the kid is due around Christmas. :P We'll have to see! ;)

If the child will be born around Christmas, then 'Christmas' is indeed a very appropriate middle name for her. Blessings from her auntie here.
The only problem however, is that Christmas does not really work in Sweden. But I will have it in mind. And hopefully I will not be a December mum but a January mum. *fingers crossed*
/ hugs and kisses
thanks you guys! :D
/hugs and kisses
Wonderful news, dearest Maria! You must be “incandescently” and “humongously” happy :))) Best wishes for you and your “little peanut”!!
Team Jane, all your ideas for the 1st anniversary of BJ Fansite are great. In addition to those mentioned so far, I was thinking that it will be fun to have a BJ movie quiz...
Hugs
Mariana, that's amazing!!! That's a good suggestion, thank you very very much! I shall contact Team Jane for the follow up.
until then!
