Darling girl! I’m sorry you feel so awful. Nothing is more lame than people who give you drugs that only make you feel worse. I will be hoping and praying for you to feel better my dear. <3
StandardThanks, sweetness. I would much rather be trembling in bed for other, you-related reasons.
Since Heart posted this song onto her tumblr, I have literally not stopped listening to it. It’s beautiful. It’s sensuous. Her voice is gorgeously smooth. It’s been getting me through my shitty experience wonderfully.
Dearest Tumblr,
(Please feel free to skip. This is a rant and a little too TMI)
I am not a doctor. I don’t really know much medically. But let me tell you a little something about a drug called Chloroquine.
It’s used to prevent malaria. I took my first Chloroquine yesterday with my lunch, as instructed. My stomach hurt a bit, but I was told this would happen. I proceed with my day normally and was fine. Then, at three in the morning, I woke up and got sick. I never, ever do that. Really.
I got incredibly cold. I was trembling harder than I have ever before. I literally could barely walk and I managed to go to sleep. I wake up a few hours later and cannot even bring myself to leave bed. I have to force crackers down to keep from getting sick again. I chug a gatorade (yuck) and my friends take me to a diner where I manage to get some eggs down.
I send an email to the woman who prescribed it to me with a ton of enthusiasm. I google the drug and speak to montecervesa, who is seriously a wealth of knowledge and was a huge help/provided a ton of support. Google and The Count agree, Chloroquine is a horrifically bad drug. People would rather get malaria than take these pills. I had a huge list of pills I could’ve possibly taken and this woman gives me what appears to be the worst.
She responds to my email really blandly and says she’s going to prescribe me more pills. I google this brand. It looks just as bad. I send back something that may have been a little bitchy, but I’m tired and I have to work 9 hours and gosh darn it.
Thanks for listening.
<3, Ivy
This makes me such a happy camper.
All I can say is, it’s awesome when things work themselves out.
Actually, that’s not true. ANOTHER thing I can say is that I was really taken by surprise as I continued to pile up new followers over the last month and a half, despite my hibernation status. So thanks, and um, now you’ll actually see some posts from me!
Oh, and homemade mashed taters are the best. Suck it, KFC.
Dear Malaria Medication,
You make me sick. Literally. And idiomatically. Why else would I be up this early/late?
Sincerely,
Ivy
Totally in need of a cocktail.

Holy hell. Murakami is my absolute favorite author. I just can’t even. I don’t know if I have it in me to disrespect him enough by knocking over these books to get to the lady, but damn.
Bring me Murakami, I will make love to you. Discuss Murakami with me intelligently, I will marry you. Tell me how the absurd, fantastical conflict in Hardboiled Wonderland and the End of the World affected you in a very real way and I will never, ever let you out of my sight. Ever.
Dear Sasha Prints,
You’re beautiful. You’re sexy. You’re amazing. I’ve seen a ton of you around in this style. Who draws you? I have to make sweet love to him/her after hanging these all over the place.
<3,
Ivy

I finally got up the courage to check my grades today and (not to brag but) it’s my best semester yet. I was incredibly worried about this one class, but it turns out I did really well in it. Relieved doesn’t even begin to describe it.
So, I’m planning to celebrate tonight. If only one of my friends had a convertible.
