you're sick, that's so cute!

it's been mentioned before. and insanamanamoo has blogged about this, too. but apparently, when you're sick, it's cute.

i've been battling a cold for a week or so. the symptoms have been slight. a little tickle in the throat. a bit of a cough. some sneezing and snottiness. nothing to be really concerned about. i feel mostly great. except i'm losing my voice.

it started on friday. it was a little hoarse, a pony, if you will. my voice got cracky and weird. but strangely it's garnered me compliments.

at work yesterday people were saying it sounded cute. (although one girl called it slutty.) that they liked it. that it was better this way. and more than one person wished that i wouldn't get all the way better so it would stay cracky and weird.

i'm not sure how to take this. i must admit that sometimes when people's voices are fucked up by colds, they do sound pretty cute. but it puts a kind of pressure on you. i want to be healthy. but then you "disappoint" people by going back to "regular" voice.

i've been drinking loads of tea with honey. and it seems to be helping. and with it will go my new-found popularity.
