I Wish I Could Still Believe This. Instead, I Am Constantly Thinking Of Things I'll Never Do.

Reading pride and prejudice for like the 10th time and what still makes me insane is when Elizabeth and Darcy are together in Kent, Darcy falls more in love with her every day while Lizzy despises him more every day. It's all like

Mr Darcy, internally: wow she truly doesn't give a fuck about my aunt, she will not let herself be intimidated, she stays true to her authentic self plus she plays piano and her eyes are pretty what a woman

meanwhile Lizzy is like: I'VE BEEN HAVING THE WORST TIME IN MY LIFE FOR THE LAST 3 WEEKS AND NOW I ALSO HAVE TO DEAL WITH THIS ASSHOLE

May 1, 1851, was the most exciting day in London, ever. It marked the launch of the “Great Exhibition” in the brand-new Crystal Palace—13,000 exhibits under one glass roof.

From May to October, six million visitors attended this head-spinning mega-show of technological and design wares from around the world, all housed in a massive hall created from the shockingly modern material of glass. Queen Victoria presided over the opening with Prince Albert, writing in her diary that it was “one of the greatest and most glorious days of our lives.”

Saguaros rank among the largest of any cactus or desert plant in the world, but  a saguaro’s growth is extremely slow. After 15 years, the saguaro may be         barely a foot tall. At about 30 years saguaros begin to flower and produce fruit. By 50 years-old the saguaro can be as tall as 2 m.  After about 75 years on average, it may sprout its first branches, or “arms”. By 100 years the saguaro may have reached 7.5 m. An adult saguaro is generally considered to be about 125 years of age.  Saguaros may live at least 150 years, however, biologists believe that some plants may live over 200 years.
