Ffffff this journal skin is too cute, I wanna poke and roll those little poms so bad ; U ;
Okay updates first. I got my A-Level results back - A A A and A* - it's fucking crazy, I can't believe it!! ☆ミ(o*・ω・)ノ a bad break up plus my mama being in hospital for some time meant I got very, very distracted at one point and fell behind in almost all of my classes. But I worked my ass off to catch up and it's honestly so rewarding to see it's payed off. It also means, if I wanted to go to university after my gap year, I totally could! Which is very exciting, but ah, we'll see.
I've been traveling too. I was soo nervous the first time I flew on an airplane completely by myself, but now I've done four time and I kinda love it ^﹏^; I went to france, which was lovely and also amsterdam with a cool guy and some new friends and I was soo scared before I went, because I get very shy around new people and it's really no fun TT﹏TT;; but everyone was so lovely and it was just a really fun trip heeeee (^//ω//^)ノ♡
and i got to go to a sex museum!!! I've had such a good summer, it's been so much fun, but the absolute highlight of my summer has to be being a vendor at BUCK. Ever since I started going to conventions I've wanted to be an artist selling my work there, it was so surreal that it actually happened uwaaah.
FridayAfter about 2 hours sleep, after which I fell asleep
on the floor because I was soo exhausted from making plushies all night, we got the train to Manchester. I totally smashed my face on the train window, because I was so tired ʘ‿ʘ;;; It took about four hours to get there, which was pretty good timing imo and checked into the hotel. I danced around listening to mlp music and did even more sewing gahh until the evening, when it was the Summer Sun Celebration!! The SSC was amazing, I went knowing one guy and I came back with so many new friends. Bronies are fucking crazy, but in the best kind of way<3 It was a huuge concert with some of my favourite brony artists there ever, namely WoodenToaster. Seeing his Rainbow Factory live was amazing, I just got so, so excited and a total bro let me sit on his shoulders - we were so close to the front too!! After that, we wandered about Manchester, in desperate search of a Subway and eventually found somewhere yay ^u^ before meeting more cool people at the train station. I went to bed exhausted and nervous that night, convention opened the next day!!

Saturday and SundayProbably the most amazing weekend of my life. Your support was just.. staggering
I was completely overwhelmed by how kind and rocking you guys were, every single person I met was just awesome. You bought all my plushies in under one hour and over the course of the weekend, we sold out on original art and almost sold out on prints! O: I honestly met some of the most wonderful people ever and I've never been so proud to be a brony :') I shared my table with the awesome
ReakkorShrike, who drew me such a cutie sketch of my OC. We were also accompanied by :
devManasMelts: and Tom, who were both very very awesome. On Sunday night I must have hugged over 100 people
and then we went out for end-of-con drinks and celebrations, it was quite the inappropriate and hilarious night heh. I could tell you everything, but I'm scared I'll be writing forever haha, sorry and you're welcome ;3
