Hello~

Starting with last Sunday, we celebrated my birthday with my family so my two aunts and my youngest cousin came over for cake :D And of course it was cheesecake because that's what I wished for lolol

Both my aunts gave me cards with drawings of alcohol on the cover 😂 My one aunt (my least favorite lol) kept talking about alcohol and I like her a little more after Sunday because she was like "let me know if I need to buy alcohol for you and your friends!" lmao

According to my favorite aunt, she supplied my cousins (so my favorite aunt's children) with alcohol before they were 18 years old and my other aunt was like "you were drinking long before you were 18 anyway!"

So I got to hear my mom and her sisters drinking stories XD Bruh Norwegians are so hardcore, my dad's teenage years were spent on beer while my mom was chugging hard liquor without making a face 😂😂

Apparently both my aunts accidentally tried a drink that had a 96 alcohol percentage and I actually feel so sick just thinking about it-

Anywho, I wanted to crawl into a hole and die on Sunday :)

My favorite aunt started talking about how she was texting with her son one day and he had mentioned that he had a new girlfriend

So my aunt asked who it was, and he had said something like "it's a little weird, but do you see who she resembles?" and sent a picture of her

APPARENTLY SHE LOOKS LIKE ME

AND I JUST-

WHAT AM I EVEN SUPPOSED TO SAY TO THAT??

It was so embarrassing, I couldn't wait for the topic to change because I really didn't want to hear about my apparent look-alike who's dating my cousin 😭😂

I'm also still recovering from his breakup with his last girlfriend because I liked her so much and she was so amazing but she just had to go and cheat on him :( Bruh, I went through that breakup together with them, that shit hurt-

I got my math paper back yesterday and I always doodle on the back page of every paper I hand in to the teachers, but this was the first time a teacher commented on it XD

He wrote "great!" with a smiley face, and he came up to me at some point during math class while I was doodling and said something like "it's so nice seeing your drawing sprinkled all over the paper" lmao-

Over to today, I've already mentioned this but it's my 18th birthday XD Which is both exciting and terrifying-

I just wish I didn't have to be the first one in my friend group to turn 18, it's so lonely being old :') 😂 At least R's boyfriend has already had his birthday so he's already offered to go with me for my first time buying alcohol, but I'm probably still gonna wait until one of my friends turn 18 anyway XD

We also had that get-to-know-each-other project today so we were put into groups again and it's anxiety fuel, but at least it wasn't as scary as last time XD

We had a speeddating round but in groups, where we answered a few questions and the first one was to describe yourself in 3 words and my dumbass gave up after 2 😭 I just said that I'm shy and creative, I don't really know what else to say about myself without either sounding depressing or conceited 😂

And then we had to tell each other one positive thing about each other and I always hate when we have to do this, because all I hear is how creative or good I am at drawing and it makes me think that that's the only thing I'm good for :')

Like back in 9th and 10th grade, we had exercises every now and then where we had a paper plate with our name on and we sent it around so everyone had to write something nice about you on it, and mine was always filled with nothing but how talented I am and that's nice and all, but it makes me feel like that's the only good thing about me so I really hate exercises like that :')

One girl did say that I have a very cute/sweet personality so at least that's a compliment that has nothing to do with my art XD

Anywho, my mom got off from work early and picked me up from school, we picked up some food and then I got to open my gifts :D

The tiny paints and the canvases were from T and Amalie 💕

Apparently Hannah really wanted to buy a Yamaguchi plushie but it wouldn't ship to Norway :') So she made me a cute edit of Hanako and Yashiro and I love it so much, it's so cute 😭😭❤️❤️

So yeah, now I have glittery gold watercolors and one of the paints T gave me is iridescent and it's seriously so cool!!! 🤤😍

My arm hurts after activating all the Posca pens though 😂 I had to shake them so hard and for so long, my arm really got a good workout today-

I'm also 50 000+ USD richer once I sign some papers ✌️😂 I still feel kinda icky about the money and a part of me doesn't even want it because of where it's coming from but at least I won't have to drown in student loan debts XD

So yeah, I hate birthdays but this one wasn't so bad XD

Also, one of the girls in my class came up behind me and said happy birthday, and apparently I sounded so shocked that she had to ask T afterwards if it was actually my birthday or if she had been mistaken

Why am I like this? 😭😭

OH YEAH last thing!! I've mentioned a million times that my favorite artist and the entire reason as to why I started drawing is Baylee Jae, and she opens up her shop every now and then but her newest prints are always sold out after like 10 minutes

But I made it on time this time!! XD I was seriously so nervous, I was so scared of missing out on the two newest prints lol

I've never actually bought any merchandise from any artist before, but I wanna start collecting prints from my favorite artists and having it on display in the studio so I can look at it and be inspired, and it felt right to start with Baylee Jae 🥰 I can't wait to see it in person! Its signed as well!! :D

WHY DID NO ONE WARN ME ABOUT HOW ADDICTING STARDEW VALLEY IS AHHH

I have a crippling addiction lmao, my search history even looks like this:

Besides working on my commissions, finishing my Xiao drawing and editing my YT video, I pretty much only played Stardew Valley over the weekend 😂

It got even more addicting and exciting because I have a boyfriend on there now lmaooo and apparently you can get married, move in together and have children and I need to make it happen XD

^ I gave him flowers :>

One of my sister's friends made this of Misty:

Hannah's also started bullying the pets by talking about how she hates them and wants to cook them and stuff and it's so funny XD

^ a screenshot she sent me lol

But yeah, this chapter is long enough and I have commissions to work on so bye bye :) Thank you all so much for the birthday wishes, it really means a lot to me ❤️
