I was really surprised and happy at the response my last post got. I expected everyone to have moved on, but I found out through all the lovely comments that a lot of people had missed me and several had been checking to see if I had posted! *Gives stacks of hugs to everyone <3*
Since I don't have stacks of homework atm (Just did my first exams last week *ugh*) I wrote this post. I figured that perhaps some of you would like to see what I've been up to over the last 6 months while this blog's been on hiatus. (Life update post yay)

As I mentioned in the last post, school has been a huge adjustment and a lot of work, but the friends I've made have more than made up for any difficulties. It's just been awesome having people to hang out with, and my new best friend, Sarah, is the most amazing person ever and we've had such a great time. What's the best thing about this is that these friends of mine accept me for who I am and how I choose to look.
In a past post I talked about how I had a friend named Alisha, and how her and her mom gave me weird looks and made me feel so uncomfortable about dressing Goth that I got super upset. I'm thankful for the support you bloggers all gave me, several people told me that sometime I would find real friends that would appreciate me for who I was - and it seems like that's happened. :) I also was going through a very bad bout of depression last year about having no irl friends and not feeling accepted, I'm doing a lot better now. Regarding Alisha, I've decided to cut ties with her, I saw her recently and she still hasn't accepted me even though I've changed my look quite a bit.
A valuable thing to learn is that if someone doesn't appreciate you for who you are, or if they just make you feel inferior, let them go! It took me so long to get that but now that I have, everything has been so much better.

Anyhow. Now for some photos to show what I've been up to! :)

| Is this a good look? :P |
Regarding fashion, this year I found a lovely store near me called 'Into Camelot' (Thanks Dani for the reference) It sells medieval and Gothy fashion, and I honestly felt like I'd walked into paradise when I went there.
I bought two dresses, one black medieval and one neo-victorianish one. Also I bought a pair of purple and black fingerless gloves. (Will post pictures of these things when I can)
As for everyday fashion, I've moved on from trying to 'Goth up' all the time. Even though my school lets you wear whatever you want I don't dress Goth very often. My style at the moment is veering towards a 'Rock Chick' kind of look. (Is that what you call it idk)
I guess this fashion change has been inspired by my recent music change from Gothic rock to 80s glam rock and metal. I still love Sisters of Mercy and such, but stuff like Poison (Which Sarah got me into :), Skid Row, Motley Crue, Guns N' Roses, etc, has been my music lately.
Instead of lace, skirts, Victorian inspired hairstyles and whatnot, I feel more like dressing in band shirts, teased hair and black jeans or something. (Massive change much? :P)

Well, that's the end of this post. Here's a few more photos to end with.

I hope that this was a decent post to begin with, and I hope that there'll be better quality posts in the future. *Shifts*
For future posts I have a few ideas like life updates (Like my trip to the Perth Medieval Festival and Ice-Skating) for the sake of it, and I'll get more of Mordor's Kitchen up since I promised I'd continue that.
As for other things, I love getting questions or ideas for posts, so if anyone has any ideas or things they'd like me to post about, please comment and tell me - I'll be sure to work on it as soon as I have any free time.
Also I've just made a poll regarding what you, my lovely followers, would like me to post. If you'd like to vote for your preferred option, I'd really appreciate it. If there's something you'd like that I haven't included in the poll, please tell me in a comment! :)
Regarding this post:
What about all of you? What fashion and music changes have you made recently that were not 'strictly Goth'? What have you been up to over the past 6 months? Tell me in the comments!
Farewell!
