come back to me

just wanted to write a quick little post...life has been super busy this past month! first was sakura-con, then starting a new job, plus moving to a temporary apartment at the same time! i'm nearly done moving after two weeks...*sigh* had to get things fixed that they left undone, then actually move. now i'm down to odds and ends, my bed, and fridge. the fridge in the temp apartment makes a horrible rattling noise, so they were supposed to get rid of it today and move the fridge from my apartment in...yeah, didn't happen. >_< the building manager is gonna be so happy when i tell her monday...

anyway. the other exciting news is that i received two boxes from korea today! i received my iple clothing order a month ahead of what i expected and a rather large box from soom. two weeks after i paid off victoria, they shipped her out! :D she's a bronze vesuvia! <3 soooooooo happy to have her! plus the bronze will indeed work beautifully for what i have planned. oh, on top of that, she has all three sets of feet! complete surprise since soom is only sending the fantasy parts with the special order dolls. by that logic and what i gather they have said, she should have only had the partial feet and scorpion high heel shoes. instead i was so happy to find that she had those as well as both high heel and flat feet! :D yay!!! now i can spend a fortune on shoes!!!! XD

post-con rambling

so sakura-con was this past weekend. lots of fun and hanging out with friends. there were thankfully more good times than bad. i was somewhat miserable, though, thanks to major allergies all last week. :(

uninspired and uninspiring

i can't help but feel like there's no point for me to even try sometimes. even on as nice and relaxing a day as today the feeling persists.

unhappiness for the con

putting this under the cut because i'm angry and it needs to be read in full and not just in part...

i swear i'm alive...

just been really busy with stuff. had several weeks of being busy trying not to get sick and trying to get things ready for friends visiting for sakura-con. now i actually have time to myself! for the first time in the past year i don't have any solid plans until months down the line. no impromptu trips possibly on the horizon or anything of the sort. i'm just floating along with the only definite things being work monday through friday and a trip in july. that's it. it feels amazing! right now i have a ginormous pile of stuff that has been being put off for the past year: photos to get edited and up; books and manga to read; webcomics to catch up on; dolls to get prettied up...i can actually start working on it!!!! :D sooooooooooo excited!

wishes for fishes

right now i'm wishing for a bunch of things...but, well, if wishes were fishes i'd live in the sea. ;) most of all i just wish that azerian would be sent back to me. i've been trying to get him sent back for a bit now and...nothing yet. i'd love to have him home and to be able to just move on with him. i've a bunch of other dolls to work on but haven't had the time when motivated. thinking about it just now, i've not really done much of anything with working on the new ones since sending him off. :(

if i were able to get him home, i'd have to concentrate on getting him a body, then good hair and an outfit. right now i'd be getting him the type 3 delf boy body. i have a wig for him, but it isn't so great...so i'm thinking maybe this would be good for him:
i was also thinking that maybe this outfit would be great for him:

would still need to find him some nice boots...

*sigh* i am waiting on a head to arrive though! i purchased a head from a friend and she will be shipping it out to me this week. :) yay! new doll! (well...will still need to get her a body...but yeah...still exciting!

how i spent my first sakura-con...

ate next to nothing each day, saw ebichu and amvs for the first time in AGES, made new friends, saw old ones, played with a sard, got glomped at random, got invited to other cons, barely slept, met artists that i love, bought art, took many many pictures (though not enough), and bought a sword...can i sleep now?

it's been a while...

so it's been a while since i last put anything here. i've been kinda busy and then lazy when i'm not. hmm...let's see...i need to put up a year one photo as february 21 marked one year since winter and azerian arrived. at the moment, azerian is off to england for a faceup, i've finally got eyes for him, and his body shipped out just after midnight my time from fairyland. i'm very VERY excited to see him coming together. :) along with his body will be arriving a dreaming vamp moon head and a 2008 juri head. neither has a name and i'm pretty sure the juri will be the companion to my heliot. also, chester's body will be home soon as well as it shipped out to bunnie in the last week as well.
