P mentioned last night that she had commissioned a friend for some birthday art for me!
It's super sweet. I can't wait to set it as my main icon everywhere. I love the fact that she tied it into how we first met and became friends (in the Arcane fandom, with me writing Viktor) and also remembered how passionate I am about supporting and standing in solidarity with working artists, and her also killing two birds with one stone by also being able to do something nice for two friends! And said artist's style is lovely, it reminds me of Grayson's: very refined, structured, confident- though his is a bit more painterly. I can't wait to see how Season 1 Viktor looks in his hands... :-)
Tabitha mentioned they wanted to wish me happy birthday on the day of, which is tomorrow, so I'm happy about that. Good day. Smeared on lychee perfume again.
I feel a little more confident about going into the meeting than I did the other day, since Isi and I talked about what his meetings were like, and generally got some good advice for when the defense comes from him. I'll miss him while he's abroad, but I hope he has a blast! And when he comes back, I get to visit the kitty, yippee!!
Very tired. I didn't sleep all that well. But today will be a long day, and then it'll be over- and one glorious sleep more will conclude my 25th revolution around the sun, and I will be 25. That's a very pleasantly shaped number- 2 and 5 are both excellent ones, and it's cool, to see who I'm becoming, and who I've yet to be.
Saw a handful of cute sparrows today. Couldn't quite identify a new bug, but it may have been a boxelder bug. Also, vanquished a HUGE hornet that jumpscared me in my bathroom the other day. Yikes!
My comfiest pair of green joggers and a nicely fitted grey shirt were a good choice for today, I think. Nothing can't be elevated with a bit of sparkle- so the sapphire necklace and pearl earrings are on, paired with a cool Rose Almond lip tinted lip- much moodier and darker than my other one, which I think is orange pink, which explains a lot, haha.
