Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛  (pinkhairedwannabe) | 16707 comments Mom wants to know why I'm so fascinated with cholera aside from the obvious and I think it's because it's the only historical pandemic we still haven't eradicated. I mean, we don't really have to worry about a new Black Death or smallpox pandemic any time soon because we've gotten rid of those diseases. But we can't get rid of cholera no matter how hard we try. The seventh cholera pandemic started in the 1960's and many experts say it STILL hasn't ended.

I just find cholera interesting that it's stuck around for so long when science says it shouldn't have survived this long. It can't even be passed from person to person.

Plus cholera is like the only historical disease that destroys the digestive system. Tuberculous, smallpox, Black Death? You can keep all of those. I'll keep my disease that makes a person pass about three to five gallons of diarrhea a day, and vomit too.


Hunter (Totally NOT a communist ☭) (codenameagentmcmuffin) | 8243 comments I don't like M/M in stories or RP either but if someone else does, good for them. I guarantee there are things I like they don't: p

What is the obvious? Referring to your comment about why you're fascinated by cholera.

And I thought the bubonic plague still exists, just in small, isolated areas? I remember readong it's still in like, Mongolia I think it said.


Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛  (pinkhairedwannabe) | 16707 comments Well yeah, but it's isolated and another global pandemic is unlikely at this point. Cholera does not exist in isolated areas and there are still many nations that experience seasonal outbreaks of it just like we have seasonal outbreaks of stuff like the cold. And scientists think cholera will just become more widespread again with rising sea levels.

Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛  (pinkhairedwannabe) | 16707 comments And the obvious reason why I like it are the symptoms. Cholera attacks the small intestine and causes really painful stomach cramps, diarrhea that looks like water and smells like fish that dehydrates a person extremely quickly because of how much diarrhea they pass, vomit that looks like water, and of course dehydration. It can also cause a person's skin to turn blue from the dehydration, hence its nickname 'The Blue Death' and their skin often turns wrinkly and rubbery and their eyes get sunken-in. They are also extremely cold to the touch.

People sick with cholera looked really ghastly from their blue skin and eyes being sunken-in that many nobles in England and France who were ill with cholera were often made to wear special 'cholera masks' so the family and doctors taking care of them wouldn't be horrified by their corpse-like appearance. The masks were often extremely fancy and looked like bejeweled masquerade masks, except they covered the entire face aside from the mouth.

And cholera could kill in only two hours if it was severe enough.


Hunter (Totally NOT a communist ☭) (codenameagentmcmuffin) | 8243 comments Yummy

I'm going t8 eat in like a half hour- I should have waited to see your answer: p


Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛  (pinkhairedwannabe) | 16707 comments Well people sick with cholera still had to eat :P


Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛  (pinkhairedwannabe) | 16707 comments Tuberculosis is often called 'the disease of love' because your cheeks would become pinkish-red and you'd feel very faint, so it looked like you were in love.

But cholera was often referred to as 'The Love Disease' too because the churning in your stomach was compared to butterflies in your stomach you get when looking at someone you're in love with.

So see, cholera can be romantic too!


Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛  (pinkhairedwannabe) | 16707 comments Cholera spread to Japan in the 1870's and a famous author at the time was stricken with it and he spent his time drawing what he thought cholera would look like as a monster





The spikes and claws probably represent his stomach pain, and they're modeled after aquatic creatures in Japanese folklore. I actually really like his designs.


Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛  (pinkhairedwannabe) | 16707 comments Ugh...what happened? I suddenly feel really nauseous and my stomach hurts...I feel like I'm going to throw up.


Hunter (Totally NOT a communist ☭) (codenameagentmcmuffin) | 8243 comments I immediately regret saying that.


Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛  (pinkhairedwannabe) | 16707 comments I'm in no mood to laugh, my stomach hurts :P


Hunter (Totally NOT a communist ☭) (codenameagentmcmuffin) | 8243 comments Hence me immediately regretting saying that


Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛  (pinkhairedwannabe) | 16707 comments I wish I could have a friend like this:

But one thing I didn't miss was... MY HABIBI'S BIRTHDAY!!!!!! HA! And you thought that I wasn't making you an AMV for your b-day! You just got PUNKED, sucker!!! Just kidding... but seriously, this video was made for my best friend, ohRahma's birthday!!! I know I'm two weeks late, and I'm soooo sorry! I really wanted to post this on your birthday but stupid finals ruined that plan... and my Vegas was being SUPER difficult this time. I could barely render the video in parts before joining it all together this time. But I perservered because I love you so much, and this video is the least I can do to explain my feelings for you. I know that things in life haven't necessarily gone the way we both planned... but my view of you has never changed. You are perfect to me, chica. You always make me laugh, and you are the best Ciel that will ever walk this Earth (besides the real one... xD). This song is not only one of your favorites, but it encompasses how I view you. You're so amazing in everything you do. You are the one person I can truly be myself around... whether I'm depressed or overly optimistic, I don't have to (more like I can't) hide anything from you. You are the one person that can make everything seem like it's alright. You always have a plan, and you're so strong-minded. I love that about you, chica! It's so much fun to debate with you about pretty much everything... xD I love you so much, and I made this video with nothing but love. I put all of my mental abilities and tried to show my feelings in the 2:40 I had to edit with. Even if you hate it, I will still love you unconditionally. We are gonna be together for as long as God allows us. I love you, habibi.
Basically, this video is about Sebastian telling Ciel how perfect he is, in case anyone was wondering. xD I cosplay Sebastian, so I'm singing this to you, my Ciel!!!!! ^0^ Here's the information for everybody!!!! Please rate, comment, and subscribe if you liked it!!!!
Song: F***** Perfect Artist: Pink Anime: Ask in a PM Pairing: SebaCiel (my habibi's fav too!!!! ^0^) Programs Used: Sony Vegas Pro 9, Particle Illusion Plug-ins: Newblue FX

Thank you for watching, and again, Happy Birthday, Habibi!!!!!! ^-^

Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛  (pinkhairedwannabe) | 16707 comments I accidentally woke my mom up laughing at that interview of that nurse from Brooklyn lol


Hunter (Totally NOT a communist ☭) (codenameagentmcmuffin) | 8243 comments What interview?


Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛  (pinkhairedwannabe) | 16707 comments I forgot what they were even asking her originally but she kept talking about really random stuff like 'I love Jay-Z f**k all you haters who say Jay-Z is Illuminati, Jay-Z ain't Illuminati! Hilary Clinton will rule the world and kill ISIS, if ISIS ever come to Brooklyn I will be waiting 'cuz ISIS killed my boy Biggie," Lol


Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛  (pinkhairedwannabe) | 16707 comments I think I have diarrhea....don't tell me I really AM sick?! But I was going to go to the movies today... *downs Pepto-Bismol like there's no tomorrow*


Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛  (pinkhairedwannabe) | 16707 comments 'Trump went to a gay wedding once'

Please tell me what your point is?


Hunter (Totally NOT a communist ☭) (codenameagentmcmuffin) | 8243 comments I went to a football game once. I hate football. I hated football looooong before I went to this game :p


Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛  (pinkhairedwannabe) | 16707 comments Exactly, so what is this person's point by saying that? :P


Hunter (Totally NOT a communist ☭) (codenameagentmcmuffin) | 8243 comments That he doesnt hate LGBT despite temporarily banning trans people from the military? Or is that obvious hate ban still in effect?


Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛  (pinkhairedwannabe) | 16707 comments That is their point and it's a stupid one.


Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛  (pinkhairedwannabe) | 16707 comments Yay I'm going to the movies today!


Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛  (pinkhairedwannabe) | 16707 comments And then I think about what went inside last night and it was a sausage and what if it got stuck, sticky, somehow there was a sperm inside that sausage and I will give birth to a litter of hot dogs?

Umm.. okay then

^Lol

Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛  (pinkhairedwannabe) | 16707 comments Bleach isn't on Funimation.

Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛  (pinkhairedwannabe) | 16707 comments FUNimation only has the anime they own on their site. Bleach is owned by Viz Media, not FUNimation.

Isn't that site a virus? I'm not judging, I'm just asking.


Hunter (Totally NOT a communist ☭) (codenameagentmcmuffin) | 8243 comments Hold up...animes are owned by certain websites???


Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛  (pinkhairedwannabe) | 16707 comments FUNimation is a company. They own the English and distribution rights to certain animes.


Hunter (Totally NOT a communist ☭) (codenameagentmcmuffin) | 8243 comments Ohhh

I have muxh to learn, clearly :p


Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛  (pinkhairedwannabe) | 16707 comments Well it's not like it's an important thing to know.


Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛  (pinkhairedwannabe) | 16707 comments I need to work on my Secret Santas but I hate typing on this computer.


Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛  (pinkhairedwannabe) | 16707 comments Times are tough so I've only been eating one thing a day for a few weeks now and I can't believe how skinny I've gotten. It hurts to sink my stomach in because there's not much of one to sink in and I look like I have a wasp waist. I didn't think eating so little would actually make me so skinny.

It works fine for me without any virus, but if you're afraid it's not safe, I can understand your concern.

I can just wait until Mom gets it again. December is almost over anyway.


Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛  (pinkhairedwannabe) | 16707 comments I should be doing important stuff but I've been doing nothing but watching anime openings on YouTube for the past half hour

Hallie (inkyhallie) | 16412 comments Well, I hope you get it soon! :)


Hunter (Totally NOT a communist ☭) (codenameagentmcmuffin) | 8243 comments Not taking in enough calories will do that. Your body will burn fat to use as energy.


Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛  (pinkhairedwannabe) | 16707 comments I can't wait to go to the movies! I feel like time is passing really slowly for me.
