I'm on break! Haza! ♡´・ᴗ・`♡ Freedom to be even more artsy! Since I wasn't traveling far for break, I decided to take advantage & try to do some things that I usually can't do. One of them was fencing! Omg, I loved it! (◍•ᴗ•◍)❤ It was so much fun & the people there were really nice & welcoming. I learned a lot, there was definitely lots of information overload moments. But there are two weapon/styles I want to learn, Foil & Sabre. Those looked really cool. They gave me some homework, practice footwork, which yeah I definitely need to work on that because it's not how I would intuitively move. (Kinda different from some of the martial arts I learned, but there are overlaps that I can tap into.) The only drawback is that I can only attend the club meetings when I'm on break since I work during the week. (And the gear can get rather pricey, but they said they would hook me up with second hand stuff). So I'm glad I was able to try that! I also signed up for archery lessons but that won't be until next month. But I'm also looking forward to that. (☝ ՞ਊ ՞)☝
Aside from getting into fencing & signing up for archery, I've been working on one of my fics & drawing. Definitely feels like my art style (volatile it may be) is going through a change. Kinda curious as to where that journey will take me. But I'm liking the direction thus far, feels closer to my traditional stuff. Speaking of traditional, I was gifted POSCA markers. /ᐠ。ꞈ。ᐟ\ So I'm really excited to try those out. I just hope the paper holds the ink/ paint well. I'm also almost done with a journal/sketchbook so that's really exciting (to me at least, lol.) ᕕ (ᐛ) ᕗ I'm looking forward to drawing/writing in a new sketchbook.
As for writing, I feel like I may have to break the current chapter. What a surprise lol. I've got a few ideas that will add drama! Which will be fun to write, fersure. I also decided to participate in a community creative holiday gift exchange. I've never done one of those but always wanted to try. So haza! Now's my chance! ᕙ(⇀‸↼‶)ᕗ In terms of reading, I read Magic's Pawn by Mercedes Lackey. I loved it but it was also rather depressing, I still want to read the next two installments. I just hope things improve for the protagonist, he's such a cool dude but also a tortured soul. (˃̣̣̥⌓˂̣̣̥ )
I saw a few performances/ concerts this month. It was fun seeing Smash Mouth again & I got to catch a few local gigs. The weather has been extremely nice as of late. I got word from a friend that I may be able to see Alice in Chains live next year. I'm sooooo hyped for that! (ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ So we've been coordinating that together. Just gotta save up for it, lol. I've also been jamming out to Type O Negative a lot as of late, something about the weather & the season just feels right.
Until next time! Happy Thanksgiving to those that celebrate! ☆~(ゝ。∂)
