December 02 → your holiday wish list

I do actually have a physical-goods holiday wishlist, but I am not gonna link it because 1) it seems a bit self-serving and 2) it was intended to be findable by family members and IRL friends so it's got my wallet name on it, heh. Most of the stuff on it is either small stuff I want, but not quite badly enough for it to be the top of my own purchase list when I have money, or tools and stuff for the house I don't have the money for. I mostly just do gift exchanges with my immediate family, grandparents, and a very small number of close friends, and then extended family/friends will get homemade cookies or some other food present. Keeps things from getting too wild during the holiday season.

December 01 → a photo of you taken this year

There are plenty of photos of me from this year already on this journal (because I cosplay, and because I set up Instagram to crosspost here), but I've been trying to take selfies more often so I can get a better sense of how to pose myself in photos and look good, so - new photos from this evening!



And, by coincidence, today is the day I finally got around to giving myself an undercut, which I've wanted to do for a while now, but didn't have clippers. Went out and got some clippers today though, and had at it. The back is a little rough because I'm used to cutting that bit by feel and not a mirror, and clippers are less forgiving than feathering razors, but I'm still really happy with how it looks.



With the bangs down it mostly looks like it did before, just with less bulk to it.
