Oh shit, I'm going to die in Africa
So, I got selected to go to Africa.
...So... a few thousand people die of the plague in Africa every year.
Like... THE plague.
... sigh.
Anyways, regardless, I'm probably going to be having a few "Warwick is going to Africa, probably to die" parties, of course everyone is welcome. ACTUAL plague.
But in all seriousness, I'm incredibly excited and looking forward to it. I just don't know what to do about my beard, to be honest. I figure shaving it on a regular basis is going to be difficult, but NOT shaving it could result in me being mistaken for some African version of the Yeti, which would likely be more unfortunate than having a really scraggly beard. It's not like I have to impress anyone there either way, so it's becoming something of a dilemma. I already know what growing the thing for a month feels like, thanks to that challenge I had with patsy. i.e. fucking unpleasant. 3.5 months seems... like a bad amount of time to go without shaving.
I like how my facial hair is greater concern to me than where I might be living, or that whole plague thing.
Y'know, the black death.
there are 2 late stage symptoms of the plague that I've heard of, neither of which I've been able to verify. One of them sounds kinda cool, whereas the other does not. The cool one is that supposedly your eyes turn black. I imagine that the cause of your eyes turning black is extraordinarily painful, or toxic, or both, but still, having completely black eyeballs would make anyone look intense i think. the not cool symptom is that your intestines kinda... come out... I shant describe that any further. Again, unconfirmed as far as any medical sites can tell me. on the other hand, the symptoms i could confirm are somewhere in between. the most disturbing one being that your throat/neck essentially explodes.
... anyways, enough of that.
