Okay time to make an actual travel post or two! Which is what I meant this blog for! This poor ol’ dusty blog. Let’s pop a bunch of pics under the cut as I ramble about all the crap I bought in England :’)
First of all, look at how much bed this is covering, dang:
Anyways let’s break this down into parts so you can see what I bought... more specifically~
A buncha DVDs and Blurays :D
I still don’t have s7 of Doctor Who cos I didn’t remember if I had it or not?? Also has anybody heard of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang cos I stg no one knows what I’m talking about it’s very rare someone understands.
I caved and got myself a cute New 3DS XL >__>
Also I finally have a couple Zelda games of my own! Yay!
Also the Bioshock games were literally 2 pounds each it was ridiculous goddamn
A bunch of books :D :D :D
It’s gonna take me forever to get around to reading them but yeah. Half of these were recommended to me previously and the other half I’ve never heard of before but decided to take a chance on ‘em!
I went to a pound store and got a bunch of CDs that mostly consisted of SingStar era music I listened to :’)
Then the new MUSE and Florence albums ehehehe
Also I’m super glad I found Charango on CD cos I only have the cassette?? And it has 2 discs one of them being an instrumental version of the album! How cool is that!
Food! We don’t have custard here in Iceland so I brought some back. Also winegums are delicious so I got some at the duty free in our airport.
Why do I have thermoses here? Well. They’re actually full of Mickey Finn cos @svartigaldur and I grossly overestimated the amount of alcohol we’d drink and we stuck it in thermoses so it wouldn’t break or anything. The small clear bottle is Icelandic Vodka that I also didn’t finish.
I went to this lil witchy kind of shop in London called the Astrology shop and got glow in the dark stickers and a cool lenticular postcard 👀
(now maybe I can remember the scorpio constellation better!)
[delighted cackling]
also I think the latter book will be p useful and inspirational for what I want to study/work with??
Okay even though they were pretty expensive, being all made of leather and stuff, it was hard to NOT buy the entire stall both times I came across a leatherbound book market stall :v
But look! The smallest is p cool on the inside and they have a website where I can buy REFILLS to put inside the cool cover if I finish the first book! How nice!
Also it was free to add lettering in the first stall so I got my initials on the smaller of the first set (the middle book in the first picture) 👀
Oh and I finally have a watch!! A nice water resistant swatch \o/
So I can know what time it is when I go swimming cos I’m -4.25 blind :I
Also my Glastonbury Theatre and Circus wristband is visible and the faint imprint of the stamp from the Top Secret Comedy Club I went to on Friday is still there.
Also since most of my shoes are falling to bits I bought shoes :>
Look at those heels closest to the camera! They’re actually blue and white the lighting went all off but look at em!!
I also got a comfy pair of work shoes so I’m pleased. The black and flowery shoes mayyy be a tad too small for me cos my feet were killing me in them after walking around Westfield good lord.
How many pictures have I got in this post oh my god... anyways! A neato hufflepuff bookmark, a cool long owl necklace and FINALLY! FINALLY AFTER LIKE 7 YEARS OF SEARCHING I FIND A PLAIN! SIMPLE! POCKET WATCH! All the pocket watches I come across are too fancy and have holes in their cover designs or transparencies and I just want a simple damn pocketwatch and I FOUND one I’m pleased as punch
I bought a bag belt so I can have pockets on my belt cos it’s useful as heck, a couple flower crown bands, and a grape bunch that’s actually a bag if I open it up. Very handy.
Some sketchbooks with thick enough paper that copics shouldn’t bleed through :3c
Nice smooth paper in them too
A bunch of hair dye cos I had run out of extra stock. This should supply me until I move out I think?
Misc items I kinda forgot to photograph with any other categories? A travel mug in which I mixed alcohol with 7up and an extra sd card for my New3DSXL why is the name so godawful long like really
Also thank u Tesco for making these cool multiple use bags with star wars designs this is awesome
Aaaand last but not least, I got a couple of those wing patterned shawl things u keep seeing on tumblr c:
I got 2 cos I couldn’t decide which design I preferred.

I dyed my hair \o/
Just in time for my birthday aw yiss
It’s actually a tad darker and less.. pink? in person? but aw yeah. I didn’t even properly bleach out all of the faded blue underneath directions dye is so good
I haven’t experienced any wrist pain despite 6 hour drawing sessions on occasion, but I haven’t done that consistently for multiple days in a row so that may affect things. Still. I wonder if hand position has an effect?
