Coral is far more red than her lips' red
Apr. 6th, 2012 11:05 pm"My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun" (Sonnet 130)
William Shakespeare
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.
Saw the dentist Friday morning to get my teeth cleaned after not being able to go to the dentist in, hmmm, the last time I remember going to the dentist was probably when I had my braces four or so years ago, so no dentist visits for about that long? (My file said my last visit was March 24, 2009 so I was close.) It kinda sucks but that's what happens when you and your parents lose health insurance for a while there, unfortunately.
Also, apparently to go to any more cleanings from now on, I'd have to pay a lot. Like twenty bucks for each tooth. Seriously. Sucks so much. It seems Friday morning's visit was like one last free joyride before I officially become an adult (sure, one officially becomes an "adult" when they turn eighteen but all that means is that you can vote and drive and pretty much sign for yourself but nothing major. It all apparently becomes real when you turn twenty-one).
Also, older brother and girlfriend broke up sometime three weeks ago so now older brother is looking for a smaller apartment.
So much drama. But thankfully none of it is mine.

Speaking of drama...I saw the last six episodes of the final season ever of One Tree Hill. I saw the series finale live and while I teared up a bit in places, it wasn't anything special. And really, they should've ended the show last season and just been done with it, said good bye and good luck and moved on. That being said, OMGGGGG. Sure, it've felt like this final season was all over the palace, but I can't imagine ending it on a better note than they have. Pretty much all the major characters get their happy endings, which I liked.
But really, the episode that had the most, profound effect on me was "Danny Boy." It was Dan Scott's last episode...and OMG. Seriously. There are NO WORDS to describe how awesome that episode was. Awesome in that it had me weeping so much and getting headachy and feeling my own heart breaking and then when I felt like I was calming down a bit, I'd just start spazzing ALL OVER AGAIN WITH SO MANY EMOTIONS. In the immortal words of Mark (from Mark Does Stuff), I WAS NOT PREPARED. AND SHIT GOT REAL.
Basically, what happened was, Dan saved his son from the bad guys - in a total badass way - and got shot during the rescue, gets surgery but is pretty much on his deathbed. And after being the main villain for the past 8+ years/seasons, Dan Scott got what he always wanted: forgiveness for all the horrific things he had done and to be a *her0*.. *wibbles* Dan Scott was not, in any stretch of imagination, even a character I could tolerate - even at the beginning - but here...SERIOUSLY HE HAD BECOME MY FAVORITE IN A SPAN OF A FEW SCENES AND THEN HE DIED AND I PRETTY MUCH LOST IT BECAUSE HE MEETS HIS DEAD BROTHER AGAIN WHOM HE HAD KILLED (KEITHHHHHHHHH I WILL FOREVER LOVE YOU) AND IT'S IMPLIED THAT HE GOES TO HEAVEN WITH HIS BROTHER. And I don't believe in much personally, but I believed in this beautiful moment.
JUST. OMG. SO MANY FEELINGS. AND MOST OF THEM THAT MAKE MY HEART ACHE.
Haley and Nathan also have the best reunion of all the reunions on television history. And Jamie Scott was the most adorablest kid - along with Logan. Quinn and Clay got their happy ending after the mess that was Clay's life got sorted out.
So yes, SO GOOD. And I kinda wish they had ended the show with this episode instead of the last two.

And then I keep watching Castle and...I somehow ended up being a total fangirl about it? Which, not surprising, but man, it did not take long. I regret not keeping up with this show from the beginning. But I guess coming into it in the fourth season is not that bad? (At least it's not like it was with Smallville, where I only got interested during the last season or so.) I can now understand why the Castle/Beckett fans are fed up with the misunderstandings - I've only been a fan of them for like a season, and I can't imagine being patient after three years/seasons of will-they-won't-they. But I know the payoff will be worthwhile all this pain. At least I hope so.
