Hey, lookit that, it's my birthday today!

I turned twenty around six this morning, I believe. Goodbye, teenage years! It's bittersweet to be in age-limbo where I'm not a kid anymore, yet I'm not old enough to drink. Either way, I'm happy for today!

Tomorrow, I'm having ~Svedios, ~TyrackWolfII and ~Pixelated-Beauty over for some funtime, Maryland crabs, chicken, cake, and hilarity!

I was gone from Saturday until Wednesday afternoon in Salisbury, where I spent some time with ~Svedios and her cousins. We spent a few hours out at Ocean City, which took a while to get to since she had to return some shoes. But we got lunch at Cracker Barrel! Mm, delicious! It was nice to go to Ocean City again, since I had only been there once. This time, I stood on the beach to catch some waves on my legs as they rolled in. For anyone who doesn't know, Ocean City has a pretty rough beach. In the morning, before tourists are out, surfers are often riding the waves since they're pretty much perfect for the sport. I also saw my first plane advertisements, where small planes ride by with a big lettered tail, advertising different hotels or restaurants nearby. I was also glad to see the Ocean City carnival is still up and running. There was talk of maybe shutting it down due to financial reasons before summer started, but it looks like they found some funding. I've told my parents that if we can't go to Las Vegas for my 21st birthday, I want to go to Ocean City to visit that famous Purple Moose bar!

I also went to Otakon this year, which was pretty fun! We went on Saturday, the 18th of July. There was lots of walking like always, but going to the Dealer's room and Artist's alley is always fun. I bought prints from ^budgie and :devlonemomo:, as well as =luciole and *celesse sadly, I missed *QueenOfDorks! I was so sad when I found out that I missed her booth! Most of my money went to prints, which is pretty surprising, since I usually spend it all on plushies!

Next year, I might dress up as Gaz, and ~Pixelated-Beauty might dress up as Invader Tak, both characters from the television show, Invader Zim. My cosplay really depends on how much weight I lose, since I don't want to be too chubby of a Gaz.

I've been working on some charms to sell on Etsy. I'm making charms out of the Little Girl series from my gallery, and I'll also be working on some accessory charms to go with them. Such as a skeleton key charm, a crown charm, and a ribbon charm. I'll be posting pictures of these as soon as I work everything out.

VU News! ~Vieo-Una

I've been working on some sketches recently. I fancy one in particular, but I'm still not finished, or completely satisfied with the sketch. Don't worry, I'll have some work up for VU eventually!

Toodles!
