Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

Earlier I was seriously about to click the "Submit Order" button to put an AE Miriam (Evey) on layaway. The thing that stopped me was I saw the next billing was going to be on Christmas day and it just didn't feel right. I'm definitely going to think about it more. The time just didn't seem right. I'm drawn by the fact that a 5-6 month layaway will take as long as the process time for the doll...soooo... ( ^_^)
They have a new doll too, Asleep Eidolon that is, and ugh she's too cute too. I don't know what I'm going to do. The prices are great but the process time is crappy. 3-4 months isn't too bad, it's just if you miss the ordering period you have to wait those 3-4 months for the dealer to even order. So say if you just miss the ordering deadline, you'd have to wait for those orders to be processed (3-4months), then order yours and wait for that process (3-4months). That's 6-8months! ( T O T) Next ordering deadline is January, so I'm hoping to start something this month, probably the 30th. I will post my decision when it's made. Haha.

Right now I'm getting ready to head out to see relatives and have too much food. Huzzah! (.......huzzah? what the...)

Some happiness within the sadness.

This depressing stuff is really weighing me down, and it's not helping that I have PMS. However, out of the darkness shone a light and made me a bit happy again. It was Leeke World wigs. Yeah, yeah, pathetic - I know, but I mean a girl's gotta find happiness somehow. Anyway, Bikou's wigs came today and BOTH of them are perfect. Bikou originally had turquoise hair, but for some reason I decided to go the "eve cream" route. Funny enough, when my GO was ordering I was told the eve cream color was sold out in the particular wig style I chose. So I thought, well might as well go with the "pale turquoise". I'm so glad I did. It works! I'm not going to show any pictures yet, because I want to get her face up on! I will probably do that while I'm waiting for news on my mom. Yeah my mom's having surgery tomorrow. She better do great.

So basically this is where I'm at;

School,
Depressed
Mom's Surgery
Depressed
BJD hobby
Depressed

That goddamn depression is preventing me from enjoying life!! Why does this happen to human beings!?

Did I mention FFXI? Yeah, searching for happiness.
Do I have any readers? Anyone ever lose a best friend in any way? Feel alone?

I'm a lamer.


p.s. I forgot to mention, I'm trying to get the money together to put an AE Miriam on layaway to catch the Oct. 14th pre-order deadline, but it doesn't seem like I'm gonna make it...

Well, I'm gonna keep my boy.

I'm keeping it, I'm keeping the Jerome boy body. I put it down to $375 for a limited time (October 1st), and then I just felt it wasn't worth it anymore. It's not selling, I'm not Feeling selling it for that low, no one's interested. Get the hint Megan and keep the piece you worked so hard for! Yes. So, Bikou will be on a boy body for now, but she is ALL WOMAN! Just have to start saving up again! ( ^ - ^) Sorry Hitomi, I don't see us getting Evey anytime soon, but hey don't worry we're getting you a body to share with Bikou! She didn't like that.

I just noticed it's sad that I don't have any full complete dolls to do photostories with, so I result to random typed conversations. ( 0 - _-) Well, I'm off to go look at some NINE9 Style clothes I can get for Bikou's manly side! LOL!

Oh just one more thing before...

I go to bed, or play sims, which ever..I finished paying off my layaway for my Little Fee Ante elf Momochuu~! Yaaaay!

Ok, maybe bed. The excitement quickly made me tired.

Oh wait....FFXIV COMES OUT TOMORROW! WooOoAH! No new video card? Can't play it on my computer? NooooOOOAAhooo!

I need to stop being impulsive! But maybe this will work!

Well I just bought these new beauties. They are Ever Purple, they are for Bikou, and they are expensive. (0 -o-)
I really believe they fit the character way better than a pair of flat brown eyes. I really wanted dimension and warmth and hopefully these bring it! If not I will cry, again, expensive! We will just have to wait and see! I was not even planning on getting urethane eyes at all. The reason I was against buying urethane is because they take so long to be made. When I was searching high and low for nice eyes for Bikou I came across these in the marketplace I was like !OH!.  Buying these also takes the stress out of deciding what company I should buy her wig from. A lot of companies will have great eyes, but lame wigs, and visa versa. I didn't want to order overseas from two businesses. So I'm happy, and low on funds. I can't even buy the wig now, and not to mention Momochuu's eyes, let alone decide which to get.

This entry is kind of mundane. Haha.

$59.30 away!

I just put down some more money on my 3-month layaway for my Little Fee Ante Elf! I haven't even reached my first month payment due date! (  > v <) I opted the 3-month layaway just in case I had problems with handling school and money. So far, no problem! Only $59.30 away! Being that I am still so excited about Bikou, I can't even explain how happy and excited I am for Momochuu~! Which is so strange because the her birth into existence was so random and so recent! She knocked Evey, Prise, Amalgam & Rune down the list! I cannot wait! I know exactly what kind of eyes I want for her too. She's going to be amazing, naked mostly...but amazing none the less.

I have the strangest urge to play Red Dead Revolver or L4D. I have to do homework first. (  ; - ; )

GUYZ! GUYZ! GUYZ!

I just checked my order status for my order from Crobidoll and it's SHIPPED!! Bikou is on her way home!! I'm so excited I do not know what to do with myself! Gah! So much information today, too much to process!!

I have GOT TO get a job, a work study job. I learned today that going to Momoyama U will be tougher than expected and I really need a lot of HELP! Most problematic? Money, of course. The State does not allow you to use their grant in order to pay for abroad studying. Way to put the kibosh on my hopes and dreams NJ! Your supposed to be the cool state! Anyway, yeah so I would only have about $2400 towards a $4500+ tuition. On top of that I would need to pay for 2-way airfare, room & board, and pocket money. The man in charge of the department at my school said I would need roughly $7000. Now that's not too bad considering it's Japan, but it's a sad number. It's still a lot of money...

Way to kill the mood of the Crobidoll excitement right? It's just that now I have to think about getting a job and what if that effects my Financial Aid. Not to mention needing to file for taxes...I want to continue learning Japanese!!! I could alway apply for a grant/scholarship! What to do, what to do. I could always just go to Japan and live as a hobo until they kick me out? That's Plan Z.

BIKOU! I'm kind of considering selling/trading the R-line body directly for a Volks SD13 girl body, and skipping the purchase of the Asleep Eidolon Miriam (save for another time)...but I don't know yet either. Now if I could find an AE Miriam on a Volks SD13 body in the DoA Marketplace, what a stroke of luck that would be!!

Well....

I did it. I ordered Bikou. *gulp* So many conflicting feelings!! Haha. That was a lot of money! I'm excited though. One step closer to having my 3 girls, which I'm about to make tiny dreams of to make me feel better about my recent plummet into poverty! Lol.

Make your own Dream

Evey & Hitomi!

Update: Crobidoll confirmed my order. There's no turning back now! I wonder how fast, or slow ( . _ .), it will take to get here!! I got to finished cleaning up my room!

Lovely city stroll.

I just got back from a trip to NYC. There was a meet today where I met the lovely Gulshan to pick up her two glorious J.I.D.'s for a face up. The whole thing made me miss having a doll terribly. I gave in a little and put up a WTB thread on Den of Angels.

Oh that's right I did not mention the change that occurred! Long story short, I was confused on how to handle dividing the shipping and how long to keep the GO open. This gave me the feeling that I shouldn't do a GO, and also my lone participant backed out. I was a bit sad, more relieved, and mostly confused. I want a Crobidoll Jerome! I'm just having a hard time ordering it and forking over the moola. I don't think anyone is going to want to buy an R-line boy body and I won't be able to buy Evey. So I'm taking my luck with a WTB thread. *Crosses fingers*.

As I was saying, I was in NYC. While walking to 33rd street I found the Nintendo store! Yep it was a pleasant surprise. They have a giant king slime from Dragon Quest and I want it. I took a picture on my phone but will upload it later.

Then walking on 6th Ave I noticed there was a street fair going on. So much good food, but I didn't want to have to wrestle with my book bag for money and have to juggle the food and all. So I settled for a FREE Cherry Dr. Pepper! That's right a FREE COLD Dr. Pepper. The guy was like "Get your free Dr. Pepper!!" as he was setting up right in front of me walking towards him. I audibly said "Reaallllyy?!". Lol, it was a dream come true! 

I then stopped at the Kinokuniya, and had a brief conversation with the most ADORABLE little Japanese boy. He was speaking Japanese with his dad the entire time, but when the dad went up to get some food he came over to my side of the table. He was staring at me and asked me "What's that?" and pointed to my food. I was like  ( o O o ). Soooo cute!! I wanted to say somethings in Japanese to him, but chickened out.

I'm about to go out with my parents for my Dad's birthday. Then I will continue with work ( ^ _ ~ )v.

So long blog.

Ok am I having a conniption?

As stated before I formed a Group Order for my purchase from Crobidoll. Well someone finally wanted to participate and I was already convinced no one was going to join! Haha. It threw me for a loop! So after changing things up A MILLION times I finally got things in order. The real date is set to order my Bikou (びちゃん)! Eeep! So excited and so nervous to actually spend that much money " "( o . o )" ".

Good news too! One of my friends from Japanese I is able to now take Japanese II! I was just excited about that. Lol. School starts in less than 2 weeks. My art teacher changed to some scary sounding person..! We'll see how this semester goes. I have to get the best grades I can! I must be able to exchange to Japan! Well that is, if my school even get's something set up. I will know more info on my first day back. I am determined! YOU GET YOUR OWN APARTMENT! Sorry, it's just too awesome.

I am cleaning my room and getting all my old junk ready to sell in a garage sale to earn money for said high hopes ^_~. I will finally put in that closet organizer that I was supposed to get installed 5 YEARS AGO!

Life is good.

There's no time to waste..

I wanted to get most of the dolls I had here done, but when I walked out of my room it was sooooo gross outside. Then the thunderstorm came and went and I'm sitting here wanting to do lots, but can't do anything. I also manage to run out of sealer before I order more. I'm an idiot. I have just a bit left and I have 3 more cans on the way.

I did a commission for Sadistic_x_blood on DoA and she sent me a pictures of him. Tan dolls are so handsome, but a tan El is gorgeous!

Also I did end up selling the Luts Wintery head (old Amalgam) and I offered the future buyer a face up of their choice with the sale. Well here he is all "naturale".

I decided to order 4, yes 4 wigs when I order my Jerome. It just makes sense to get all the wigs I want so that I don't have to pay for shipping from Korea more times than needed. I'm so excited I can't wait, but I have to! I started a GO, which no one seems interested, but I plan to still wait until the 22nd. Yay! The day before I have a doll meet I will be attending in NYC to see guls207 of DoA. It will be fun (even though I'm doll-less)!

Summer Matsuri feels like Fall Matsuri.

I was lucky enough to get to go to Mitsuwa's Summer Matsuri for a little bit today. Holy moly was it crowded! There wasn't any place to sit down and eat for a good 10 minutes. We kept getting tables taken out from under our noses. Luckily we found some and ate our ramen. It was really nice, and made me feel like I was in Japan, almost. Hopefully I will be able to go next year. *Crosses fingers*

Another thing I am lucky with is.. I'm getting an El! Very happy about that! I still haven't ordered the Crobidoll Jerome because I'm waiting to either get more funds or have people join my GO. Looks like no one wants in with me :(. I think part of me is stalling because it's such a big purchase. Hmm.

The Luts Wintery head that was Amalgam is BLANK! Getting him ready for his new face up so I can ship soon.  Lots of work to doooo!

Good news! Good news!

I have already reached my quota! I can order my JEROME! I'm so excited. I put up the GO at 4am today before going to bed. Haha. I'm a little be antsy to get to ordering. It's only been like 8 hours and I'm like "Whyyy isn't anybody joooining my GO!?!?" Today is also a nice cool one so I can start some commissions as well. I do not know if I will be able to airbrush today though. But! EEE! I'm going to be on the Crobidoll website like all day.

Come on who's with me?!!
