stupid fourteen liner

So... I'm Done.
I finished.
My sonnet has all the dotted i's and crossed t's and I think I made my own requirements [Or I could take the route of saying "they were more of guidelines anyways" (Oh, Captain Jack Sparrow.. MUST love Johnny Depp with eyeliner)] as opposed to the "Official" rules of Sonnet-ting as expressed by R-ski:
fourtreen lines
all having the iambic pentameter deal
with the stresses (correctly placed??)
...
I have fourteen lines.. check...
I have ten syllables per line... so maybe half check...
aaaanddd... about this little iambic pentameter deal... well i dont understand the point, concept, or generally what a stress is. I mean I read back my sonnet and every other syllable I made it sound more stressed then the previous?
Reading this in front of the class might make me look like a total idiot with my stressing of the stressing.
But... I finished. And that's important.
I guess.
