Today's my 22nd birthday! 🎂💖🌌🌠 As you can see, I got a couple of pieces of new Matrix merch, the Neo Build-a-Bear teddy being from my parents and the Funko Soda being from my aunt and uncle (which I actually got a rare variant of, as it happens, where he's on the phone as pictured). 😍🔥 I've also been given a bee necklace and scarf as also shown, as well as some Lindt and Thornton's chocolates, some new pyjamas, and a pair of leather gloves that I'm going to use for my Trinity cosplay when I go to comic con later this year. 💓

Also, this year some of my cards were BEE-themed. The first one you can see was sewn and homemade by my mum, and she and my dad made my cake bee-themed, which I'd said to them I liked the idea of as something a little bit different after my cake for my 21st last year was Matrix-themed. 😁🐝🍯

This neat shirt is currently available from Bershka! 

In honour of Neo's birthday being today (at least the one out of the two that I subscribe to), I thought I'd pick today for making this post: nearly two weeks ago, right at the start of this month, the deluxe PVC Neo statue I ordered on eBay arrived! 🤩 He cost me £100 due to these deluxe PVC statues - which are all of the Main Four - being semi-rare, which I took from the money that my parents gave me a couple of months ago as a graduation present, and yes I do still have his box in my room, for when I move out at some point in the coming years.

My Matrix makeup is finally here!!!! I’m not a huge makeup person, but I couldn’t resist getting a few things from this collection, obviously. The packaging is so cute, and I’m pretty amused by the names of the shades in the Trinity palette, which scream, “WB gave us a list of keywords and you better believe we used them!”
