84/365

Today has been a crazy assortment of 6+ hours of driving, lots of walking, and cool bits in the middle of all of it. I'm absolutely exhausted and all I want to do is cry about Zayn Malik leaving One Direction (which I think we will talk about tomorrow) and sleep until May. So, today I'm going to leave you with one of my favorite sonnets. Did you just remember how freaking weird I am? I did too. I'm sorry.

I love this sonnet. It's my absolute favorite and I memorized it when I was in the eighth grade -- test me next time you see me: do I still remember it? 

Anyway, here you go:

My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun; 
Coral is far more red than her lips' red;
If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun; 
If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head.
I have seen roses damasked, red and white,
But no such roses see I in her cheeks;
And in some perfumes is there more delight
Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks. 
I love to hear her speak, yet well I know 
That music hath a far more pleasing sound; 
I grant I never saw a goddess go; 
My mistress when she walks treads on the ground. 
     And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare 
     As any she belied with false compare. 

catch you later,
Karleigh
