Guess how old I am?

If you were the nurse who I saw on Monday, you would have said “12 or 14”, which is what she thought I was before telling her my actual age. My birthday was on the 12th, and it seems the older I get, the younger I look to other people. Pretty cool, right?

My birthday, in fact, was pretty awful. I’ve had some sort of systemic skin issue since the beginning of the month where I’ve started randomly breaking out in hives on my arms, leg, neck, and face. I’ve seen three doctors now, and none of them are even willing to find out what it is and instead just keep prescribing me drugs. Best part is that it’s contagious as well, so Rob got it too, but not as bad as me thankfully. Anyway, so I had to not only cancel the photoshoot I had planned for my birthday in LA, but also had to cancel my trip entirely and stay quarantined in the house. Luckily, it seems to be getting a bit better and I’m not wanting to rip off my skin from itchiness anymore.

Also, for my birthday present to myself, I decided it was time to get some new chucks since my old ones are dead. I haven’t bought any new clothes or anything in a long while so I figured I was due for something new. I got some custom designed converse sneakers from Converse.com. I ordered them in September and figured they would take a while. Right now it says they are scheduled to get here on Friday. But the best part of this has been tracking the package. So far it has gone from China, to Louisville, KY, to Indianapolis, IN, to Hodgkin, IL. I can’t wait to see where it will go next! My shoes will have traveled the world before even being on my feet.

Ok, lastly I finally got a glimpse of Cosmode 24, which will be for sale at Cosworx shortly. In it is a photoshoot of Julia and I in our Slayers costumes. There’s also a shot of myself, Ayaka, Jacky, and Adella from the TFT event in Japan this past August. I should have the actual Slayers pictures soon so I’ll be updating with those shortly.
