I think I just peed my pants.
I loved it so much, Willo -- especially the end part, ack.. so true! 🙂
About Lizzie dear..
There was something about her in AWE that kept on bugging me. I cannie quite put my finger on it but I was like --ugh, wtf?--
I am not a woman with words, nor a word of the woman, but if this woman cannot say what she wants through words, how can the words of this woman be told by the woman of no words?.... Savvy?......

Ahem, this is called "Why Elizabeth's Life Sucks"1. At some point in her life, her mom dies and her dad has no sense of adventure
2. While crossing over to the Caribbean should have been an adventurous experience, she is put in charge of young Will. While this isn't really a bad experience, it's a lot to unload on a little girl, especially when she thinks the boy is a pirate.
3. Elizabeth has a crush on Will....and is called "Miss Swann," leading her to believe Will doesn't like her.
4. A guy that she might have had a strong friendship with (James) ruins things by proposing to her.
5. She almost drowns.
6. She's kidnapped from her home by mean pirates.
7. She has to deal with Pintel and Ragetti.
8. She gets the sh*t scared out of her upon discovering the mean pirates are actually undead pirates.
9. Barbossa smacks her so hard she passes out and has a nasty cut on her hand.
10. It is implied she will be raped by the crew after they capture her, Jack, and Will. While that doesn't happen to her, that's terrifying enough.
11. She is forced to walk the plank and is marooned. While Jack is there and that makes it all better, there is the thought in the back of her head that they'll both just die there. I'm sure she'd have a great time with him if they had a little rowboat to go places for food, water, and shelter.
12. She has to break the guy's heart that proposed to her.
13. Her expensive wedding is ruined and her dress looks like baby poop.
14. Somewhere along the line, her beautiful wavy brown hair turned into dry, straw-colored crap.
15. She sits in jail where her fiance won't kiss her, but a bunch of low-lifes are more than willing to.
16. She finds out that not only is Will not with Jack so the trio idea is gone, but Will is actually with Davy Jones.
17. She has the guilty feelings of lusting after Jack while engaged to Will. (I'm counting this as bad because it does cause her a lot of stress and she's kind of the Yoko Ono of the series)
18. She's attacked by a kraken.
19. The only way she kisses Jack is if she's going to kill him. She does, and she feels terrible and is wracked with guilt.
20. Her fiance won't talk to her and she won't talk to him because they're really children who are not ready for marriage.
21. Her other friend (Jack) is mean to her when she sees him again.
22. Her dad dies!!!!!!!
23. She finds out Will keeps secrets from her...finds out deception is a two-way street.
24. She's almost raped by a guy who thinks she's a goddess. I wonder if after the sex he would have changed his mind....
25. Seconds after being named captain, the ship is captured. You can't tell me she didn't see that as a bad omen.
26. She meets her old friend (James) and suspects he helped kill her dad.
27. She meets her future faither-in-law who is a crazy coral reef.
28. Her friend dies after remind her how much he loves her!!!!!!!!!!!!
29. She gets her wedding...during a battle on a ship where Barbossa of all people marries them.
30. Davy Jones knocks her out.
31. She watches Will die!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
32. She finds out that Will is okay for the time being, but they can never really be together because he is cursed to ferry souls lost at sea for 10 years, after which he can see her for all of 24 hours before going out for another 10 years. Oh, and possibly....she might have to go without falling in love/sex with someone else because that may or may not free him from the curse....I'm confused.
33. Her pirate friends who have all had sex before embarass her as they lead her to her rowboat to go lose her virginity in the perverted Wizard of Oz scene.
34. Jack won't kiss her goodbye.
35. Surprise, surprise...her 24 hours with her husband are up and he's out to sea.
36. We have no idea if she had a lot of support being pregnant, giving birth, and raising her son on top of being the Pirate King. I'm sure Teague and the "citizens" of Shipwreck Cove helped her and Jack came to help her out, but we don't know for sure.
37. Although she retains her figure, after 10 years fashion has changed and baggy vests are in.
That's right!! I agree:
I was thinking of the differences in Elizabeth's hair, etc., as well.
I feel and calculate it is and themed as an Out of Afrikka theme:
(all the pictures of Elizabeth Swann from http://pirates.wikia.com/wiki/Elizabeth_Swann in order)
(cont. bc too many images)

Why Elizabeth's Life Sucks
1 - She holds secret depression over physical pleasures even though she finds herself on the top of the food chain of it.
2 - She might be mating Will bc he rescues her in the beginning.
3 - She can't get close to Jack. (Not physical enough.?)
4 - She is haunted by Barbossa, etc.
5 - She does not communicate much with anyone on any thang.
6 - She doesn't get to hold "the dog with the key."
7 - She isn't Lady in Red (or will she? Please!. But maybe that's not the pt b/c Scarlett is.)
8 - She doesn't like apples...
9 - I never see her fixing her hair actually or really in the water....
10 - She is so bored she will either Die or have Identity Crisis.
= yes, either ignored at all times in any attempts to function or a spoiled brat
....11 - She looks sometimes completely dorky with Sparrow. ? Why is that. (Not the actress; she is like the world....)

hard to really get in any connections; wonders who holds what keys wallbash
I guess it's a spiced-up version of Elizabeth Swann. They really need that, too, though.. lol1

What Kind of Elizabeth Would You Be?

I love elizabeth swann and i think thats the reason why so many females love these movies. its basically through her pov and women and girls love to feel like they are elizabeth!!!!
I like to feel like I'm the little girls in C+tCF; I'd never be Charlie and probably not work as Willy. I'd not actually want to be a Loompa.
If I was in PotC, I still would want to be Elizabeth as a character/person. I wonder if the actress gets to dye her hair and wear her own contacts.

I was looking through a book my grandpa has of surnames. It tells there origins and what they mean. Swann was English of course, and meant something like purity I think. And Turner meant anyone who made things out of wood, metal and such. Sparrow had two origin meanings things ... I don't remember the one half. It wasn't really like Jack. The other half was that it was a nickname of someone who looked like a sparrow.
But she already looks like Elizabeth Sparrow (another Thread wooosh)
a ya I don't think she likes being Elizabeth Turner. 4 will be about divorce and abortion.
I was discussing 101 Dalmations, or starting to, in another thread....
I believe they put the lucky horseshoe on Lucky not to make him easier to discuss but to entice ppl to admit they would/might like him.
The novel is almost not stimulating bc Cadpig goes around in a wagon with a TV.
And I said, talk @ PotC or Harry Potter if you wanna talk @ being a baby..
