To get everyone up to speed...summer came and went (almost! I'm still holding onto those precious warm days, I truly despise winter!) It was really a great season filled with fun beach, tennis, festivals, alligators and of course Bronycon! I couldn't believe how much love and attention I gained at this con. I am so used to the Big Apple and all the competition out there and basically feeling so horrible in general. I constantly throw my art out into the garbage (or burn it) because I beat myself up over the quality of my pieces. Normally I'll browse DA and feel so sub-par... but this weekend was so great! Having people say that my art style is "gorgeous", "unique", "inspiring", is not something I hear at home (even from friends and family), so people asking to have my autograph, pose for pictures with them or just shaking my hand and thanking them for the commissions was just so wonderful. I love the look when others faces light up with excitement when their expectations of me sitting for about an hour and a half on something of their wishing is surpassed... is so fulfilling. So yes, that was a great success!!
Also, David and I celebrated our one year anniversary. Something he told me: "I've been with you for so long, I feel like we should be celebrating our 10th and not our 1st!" So true!! It was very nice and special. I took him on a dinner cruise around Manhattan and we had a great time!! Something I wrote on my DA journal, so I'll just shamelessly copy and paste it:
I Can't Believe That The Time Went By So Quickly. Everyone Says That The First Year Is The "Hardest"; Well If That's The Case I Hope Our Whole Lives Are Just As Difficult. He Is Such An Amazing And Wonderful Person And I Can't Imagine My Life Without Him, He Is So Perfect To Me In Every Way Possible, It's So Amazing To Be With Him And Watch Him Grow Into The Inspiring Being He Is Today. Looking Back To The Dorks That We Were 8 Years Ago, Some Newbish Teens That Didn't Know Anything About Being A Relationship, Especially One Heavily Based On The Internet
, With Everyone Practically Rooting Against Us (My Irl Friends And Family Weren't Much Help, I Mean Most Highschool Romances Barely Last Half A Year Right?) I Recall Back When His Family Thought I Was Just "Imaginary" XD , Much To Their Shock I Was Indeed Real! Haha. Now We Are Still Dorks, Just A Little More Mature And More In Love. 
True, It Was A Tad Strange Adjusting From Being LDR To OMG I GET TO SEE YOU EVERYDAY NOW WHUT??!? However I Find That Now That I Get To Be With Him All The Time I Want To Only Be With Him More.
Another exciting thing: I got a job with Random House! Ahh~ I'll be finally putting my talents to some use! Now to spam you all with fun summer time pics. BTW I chopped my hair. DERP.
