Oh god people, please always remember:

Writing is not language.

Writing is writing. Language is language. Writing is used to record speech, but it's not language itself. You can be fluent in a language but not literate in that language.

In conclusion, writing isn't language, and if you're still confused, just meditate on this image a while.

I have been in excruciating pain the past few days, guys.

On the one hand, my back bottom jaw is hurting on the left. I was literally *just* at the dentist and he said the gum was a bit swollen there, which is not at all surprising.

On the other hand, I've also been super congested and had going on three days now of sinus headaches, guess what, concentrated on the left side.

These are definitely connected, and the jaw pain went down from "oh god kill me now" to "moderate" when I finally bought and took some sudafed, but I'm not entirely certain that it's just the sinus causing the pain. Oh god it could be two things, couldn't it? Ugh.
