long time no posts~

just wanted to make an update post since my last one was in may!! this year's been a bit crazy health and life-wise so i haven't felt like i had the time to gather my brain matter enough to write out a full blog post until now rhjhdfbgj but i'll just get straight into the updates, there's been quite a few things!

firstly, at the end of my last post i mentioned that i was getting new bookcases, and i GOT EM!! 3 new ones, all white ikea billy bookcases but in different sizes. decorating them with all of my collection stuff has been a Nightmare of a project, i've swapped things around and swapped things out several times to find a layout i'm happy with o|-< but i feel like i'm getting close to the final arrangement... i do still need lots of things such as plastic sleeves for prints & such that i want to stick to the insides of the shelves, small adhesive hooks to hang charms off of and things to lift certain figures & merch higher up in the back of my shelves as to not completely block all visibility of them with stuff in front <:3 the next items of furniture i need to replace in my room are my chair, my wardrobe and my bed frame, and finding drawers and a bed frame that i want has been SO difficult... i still haven't found anything that looks like what i want yet... (this is fine though, i currently can't afford either of them right now LOL)

another thing i wanna talk about is... sonic symphony london!!!! i went last month and it was amazing *_* i was so upset that i couldn't go to the show last year as i was in japan at the time, but when they announced it was coming back this year i grabbed my ticket as fast as i possibly could 🏃‍♂️ though i did end up selling my original ticket and moved seats to sit with my friends instead! the vibes were immaculate and i got a light stick which i'm very happy about because i love collecting light sticks from concerts i've attended =) the sonic symphony one has SO MANY colour options and a button that makes the light flash through all of the colours as well! it came so in handy when Reach For The Stars played haha, i'll do a dedicated post about the concert at some point where i go more in depth about how the day and show went, especially as i took a lot of videos and some pics that i want to compile into a long video for my youtube channel!!

speaking of concerts, i will be going to miku expo london next week!! it'll be my 3rd miku expo (2nd time with a VIP ticket) and 4th miku concert overall as i went to magical mirai in tokyo last year!! miku expo has had quite a few issues this year... LED screens and extremely delayed merch shipments... but i'm looking forward to it nonetheless, i will put up with anything if it means i get to see miku... and since i got the VIP ticket i'm hoping to get there early to secure a good spot and take lots of videos to make another Big video like i did with miku expo in 2020! 💙

some other updates i want to mention are website / social media based. i have moved from neocities to nekoweb! it's still an empty wip for now, but due to neocities' creator being a bit Too interested in generative AI for my liking i have decided to take my stuff as far away from that website as possible >:| i've also moved my art accounts away from twitter & instagram for the same reason, and i will now be posting my artwork, crafts & vocal synth creations on bluesky! on top of that i've worked on a bunch of other bits & made new accounts on other sites, such as giving my carrd page a complete makeover and making a spacehey account, which i'll use to crosspost some of my blog posts from here onto. i won't be moving away from dreamwidth i just like having more options and websites to play with :^)

aaaaand i guess this also counts as an update but i will be getting my first ever scale figure soon... the hatsune miku 16th birthday one!! i saw her in person in japan last year and i grabbed her as soon as preorders went live, and she finally released yesterday 😱 i'm someone who buys a Lot of vocaloid merch but i've never bought a scale figure before, usually due to being really picky about the ones i like considering how expensive they are and also due to the amount of space they take up, but since i got my new bookcases i have a spot reserved just for this figure ^_^

. . . . .

that's it really!! it doesn't sound like much but i've really been so busy this year @_@ redecorating and purging my house of stuff that i no longer want to keep and also working again at the weekends has drained so much energy out of me ⚰️ next month is hopefully going to be a lot calmer and i should have more funds and time to work on other things that i've been meaning to work on for ages aha;; i'm also considering going to london gaming market next month if i can afford it! the tickets are suuuuper cheap so even if i can't afford to buy anything i may just attend anyway and make a day out of it~ but that's all my updates for now!! i'm thinking of making some smaller blog posts when i have time just to talk about some videogame nostalgia... man i love videogames...

tysm for reading!! Σ(°ロ°)
