anyways...there's a meet being planned for up north a little in december. i'd love to go, but i need to find out when and where first due to the whole bus thing. hopefully things work out and i can go since it's going to be more of a swap meet/trunk show type thing. i've been trying to figure out making bags this week with felt, so i'd like to maybe have a bunch of different types/sizes made up by then to see what kind of interest there'd be in them. dunno. we'll see.
anyway...mostly just felt like randomly talking about things. i've still not gotten the rest of the pictures from the happy riot resized for online. i'm thinking i'm not going to bother with tweaking them since i like how they look without any post editing. i keep saying that i will, but then i don't. meh. this week was kinda a bust anyways since i was up waaaay too late each night due to the election and the art walk on thursday and just random somehow not getting to bed until 130 or 2 each night. *sigh* note to self: get to bed earlier. everyone at work is getting sick, you don't need to as well.
speaking of work...veteran's day is tuesday and i still have to work. *sigh* why can't things be like when i was younger and everyone got monday off in observance? i swear, growing up is one of the worst things to impose upon oneself. true, being a kid these days is more complicated than when i was, but still, i think that being an adult is very much more stressful than it needs to be thanks to how society seems to be shaping things these days.
i've been spending too much time on facebook.
facebook + seeing where people are now and what they have done in the past nearly 10 years + comparing yourself to others and where you wanted to be = realizing that the 18 year old you would hate who you are now. -_- on the up side, i've realized that the 18 year old me would be fascinated with bjds since pretty much the only reason i've gotten any barbies (or the like) since i was 12 was mostly for making stuff for them and then wishing that i had a doll that was much much more customizable. getting into this hobby has really made me look back and think about my doll habits over the past 20+ years (since i got my first barbie, not since i got my first doll in general)...but that's a whole other post to maybe write up some day. on an odd note: i still have all of my barbies (and barbie-like dolls). a few have sticky legs from something to do with their vinyl - i think it may be something to do with the composition at that time - but oh well.
a sewing machine would make things quicker. too bad i don't have the space for one. :| at least i've actually started making patterns. that'll at least make it so i don't have to figure things out new each time i go to sew something.
oh, i'm anxiously awaiting a migidoll yujin head. i'd wanted to get a ryu when migi opened shop up again, but then they put out yujin and, well, first instant i saw him, ethan decided to let it be known that, yes, i am putting him and aureus into doll forms and that yujin is perfect for him. so, the mortician will be coming home. um...eventually...most of the people in my group order actually chose the skin type that migi was having problems with, so we've had to wait longer than expected, but now have confirmation that the heads should be shipped in the next 2 weeks. so his head will at least be on it's way here. next up will be getting him a face up, eyes, wig, and a temporary body. i want to get him an sd17 body, but they're still few and far between and cost way more in the marketplace than they should. i'm hoping that migi releases another sd sculpt soon that will be perfect for the doctor, but i'm not holding my breath. otherwise, i think i may end up on the hunt for a leeke cliffe to use as him.
on another note, i just spent a good half hour or so reading through old writing snippets and poems trying to confirm i was spelling aureus correctly. the result was finding that i've changed aureus' looks a little - my original character writeup had him wearing glasses and with a labret piercing - in addition to the fleshing out i've added to his past somewhat with ethan showing up when i first considered getting the doctor in a doll form. mind you, originally i was having trouble thinking of what sculpt to use and was thinking of a dollshe hound...yeah...not right for him. *stops babbling* i've also found another character that i think may be perfect for a zaoll. i'll have to decide if she's going to be a luv or a muse and then if i want to bring any other characters from her world into being. though that might be hard since she's originally from a comic concept with a few friends. *shrug* she's going to be changed some anyways since i want to change some specifics about her looks, so i may just change the characters with her as well. hmm...she may necessitate the purchase of a soom boy to be her companion...*needs more of an excuse to get corvi, rex or spinel*
okay...so this has turned into the extra long blog of doom or something. kudos to anyone who actually read this whole meandering jaunt through how it usually is in my brain. -_-* here's a picture of reese to make up for it:
