It's midnight for me on December 20th, which means it's my birthday! π Yay time for a bday text post lol
1) I just had the worst week of my life last week...I got covid for the first time ever and it was the new strain where every time I swallowed it felt like razor blades were slicing up my throat from the inside. It was so painful and scary and it gave me trauma...eventually I just kept a cup with me so I could spit out all my saliva instead of swallowing it. π But I couldn't always avoid swallowing, and for a few days all I could do was flit in and out of consciousness on my bed because the pain had reduced me to a wild animal with half a brain cell left and this half-brain cell could only focus on breathing. π₯΄ While I was awake all I did was take my pills and then stare at the wall until I fell asleep again because looking at a screen made me want to throw up. I could barely eat. It was really bad and I don't wish this suffering on my worst enemy. I think if faced with the choice of either going through all that again or cutting off my left hand I'd choose to cut off my left hand lol that's how scary and painful it was. Anyway I'm much better now! π Even though my sense of taste hasn't fully recovered yet. I'm going to have sushi after work for my bday, hopefully the strong taste of soy sauce will reach my taste buds.
2) I finished reading 1984 just today!! π₯² I don't know if it was because I was sick but reading it the past week has felt so suffocating...really powerful book, very well written in that it actually made me feel something but damn I definitely need something lighter now. I hated part 3 and the endless gaslighting and the huge ranting paragraphs about how the Party works and its goals that it will most certainly accomplish. Horrible horrible book, I definitely recommend it and I'm glad to have finally read it so I can understand all the references now and be a little more cultured yay. I think it's very necessary that we need to consume pieces of media that makes us uncomfortable and think. Lately I've been so bored of so many of the things I've been consuming the past couple years and it was making me depressed so I'm glad I felt something this time. βοΈ And at any rate I'm proud of me for having finished a novel, I don't remember the last time I read an entire book so... Next I'm going to read another Lou! volume and then I'm gonna read Pride and Prejudice, I hope I'll enjoy it ahhh! Have any of you guys read it before?
3) I'm still posting on OCSN everyday!

4) I'll try to have some art posted before the new year...I have a photoset ready I'm just waiting to see if I'll crank out any last minute art before I post it lol. It's nothing special, just odds and ends that I've already posted on Twitter. I've gotta remember to do an art summary for this year too augh π Alright that's all I can think to say for my birthday, see ya guys!
