A long overdue blog update. Things have been very hetic, but overall going well these past few months. Shortly after my last blog entry, my boyfriend ended up visiting for the first time. We had a fantastic time, going to the arcade and seeing the Ghost movie "Rite Here Rite Now" (which was amazing by the way). It was very bitter sweet as it felt like somehow a week flew by far too quickly. I hear from a lot of long distance couples this is often how the first visit goes. I look forward to his next visit, possibly during the holidays? After that, I returned to doing my schoolwork but quickly was interupted by tournament season for Lorcana once again. I did well, placing top 8 in all of the tournaments I went to. Hopefully, with the Bucky errata I can capture Top 4 in the next set championships. Exciting news also, I might be going to a Lorcana Challenge in the future and will be sure to update my blog on how it goes. Other updates, I am nearly done with my certificate program, I should be graduating sometime soon this fall. It has been a fantastic few months, albeit stressful. I'm trying to do better with myself, enjoying my hobbies and the friends I have within the communities while also trying to work on taking care of myself. The one biggest thing I'm trying to work on in my personal growth is building a routine and habits to set myself up for sucess. Which is proving to be difficult, but I know it will help me in the long run. Trying to get my life in order and enjoying doing so is certainly a massive step for myself. So there you go, a wonderful late night update. |

Late-night blog update, let's go. I thought I'd start this blog post by updating you on how the tournament went. The championship was small, it was only our usual crew for Lorcana plus a few rarer faces who showed up. Multiple people dressed up which I am very thankful for as I was nervous about it. I got many compliments about my costume which was rewarding as I painted my mask myself. However, even more rewarding was that I ended up becoming the Store Champion- receiving a custom playmat. I'm very proud of myself as in my 10 years of playing card games, I have never actually won a tournament. I've come close numerous times, placing often in the higher percentages so this was very exciting for me. A shocking thing unrelated to the card game was I wore my typical black lipstick as it completed the cosplay and I had numerous people compliment me on it. It felt very nice as I've been struggling with wearing it despite how much I want to, so I feel very assured and will be wearing it more. Besides that, I had a very relaxing weekend. I didn't get to the cleaning as much as I wanted but I'll finish it tomorrow (today actually...oops). |

Ah, the first blog post. It's always so nerve-wracking whenever I end up incorporating one of these. This is probably the only feature on my website to come and go as much as it has. However, when I don't have this- I often find myself longing to have a place to talk about my day-to-day life. I truthfully stayed up far too late tonight which is a shame as I have to go out with my grandmother at 10 am. So I'll probably take a little nap after posting this. I truthfully have a lot to do today. I first have my outing I mentioned, which I'm looking forward to albeit the lack of sleep. Then, I have to work on my costume for a TCG event happening. My local store is hosting a Championship for our Lorcana League which is very exciting. However, we get extra points for coming in costume so that'll be eventful. Lastly, I desperately need to clean my space. I haven't deep cleaned since about May, and it is terrible right now. Especially since my boyfriend, Cupid, will be visiting from his state and staying with me in just under 2 weeks. Sighs. I might update again tonight with just how much I actually got done, but I look forward to updating you all on the chronicles of my life. |
