impyI'm thinking I'm going to start a drinking game for AG fandom. I'll need some help, so those who have even dabbled just a little are more than welcome. (And if you haven't, go poke around and then come back with your findings!)
We'll start simple.
Shots of your favorite beverage should be taken when:
Someone calls the original green eyes "laser" green. Another shot for neon or two shots for creepy being tacked onto the description.
When the question, "What time period should AG do next?" is asked. An additional shot is required when someone says, "Japanese Internment Camp!" or "Chinese Railroad Worker!" to answer said question.
I'm sure there are others but I'm at that weird space where I'm just tired all the damn time because I spent the last three weeks not sleeping properly and I just want to sleep. But I cannot because I have to do stuff. But I can't do stuff until things are done elsewhere sooo... I'm waiting. And no, I cannot nap.
Will the laundry never end?
No. No it will not. I will be doing laundry until the day I die and then my ghost will come back, look around, and finally say, "Well, it's not Walgreens so I guess that's a step up."
I moved the furniture in Mum's room around a bit. It still needs a little more tweaking but I can't do that until she comes back. I should begin working on the eleventy-billion boxes of books out here in the LR but I'm laaaaaaaaaaazy. I'm also super hungry and I don't think we've got a thing to eat, actually.
Sigh.
Back to AG! We're less than a month away from the launch of BeForever. I'm unsure how I feel about this. On the one hand, we get new stuff. NEW STUFF. I love new stuff! In theory, anyway.
We also get the return of Samantha! Woo! And new adventure books for everyone who survived the revamp!
I might've spent one night at work basically plotting how I'm going to spend my BF money. I'm not sure I'll actually spend any of it, really, because I don't know how things will be priced or packaged, but I'm hoping we'll get the new Meet outfits as separates at least for a little while. If so, I definitely want Samantha's and Addy's. Unsure on Rebecca because I still want Bex herself.
But at the same time, I can't work up too much enthusiasm because not even the return of Sam is enough to make me give a right royal damn about the characters left. Let's be honest, Kaya and Josefina are likely to get the shaft for different reasons.
Josefina is damn lucky to have made it this far and all the signs are pointing to her not making it much beyond this year, so... yeah. I'm not sure how much they'll do for her.
Kaya, well...I'm pretty sure you can figure out why she's hosed.
I'm meh on Addy the doll (Cass loves hers so much that I would feel weird twinning her, like Addy is HERS and hers alone, y'know?) but I do wonder what else she'll be getting. Caroline the doll doesn't do much for me but I do like her stuff. I think book!Rebecca is annoying as hell and her stuff tends to either be interesting or "wow, that fell outta the ugly tree and double tapped every branch on the way down, huh?" Kit's new meet outfit makes me think they're going to age down her stuff which is weird. Julie is in 70's hell without Ivy...
But I'm not one of those people who doesn't think the line needed help. It did, it does. It's just... I'm kinda meh on the characters left right now.
That said, if you sent me a text saying, "Hey, BF's catalog leaked, want pics?" I'd answer yes so fast you'd get the answer before you sent your text. :P
And now I should stop procrastinating and actually try and unpack some stuff.

Date: 2014-08-06 10:06 pm (UTC)If I hated myself enough and had thought it through, I would've tapped Cass to hit the launch in Atlanta, but it just seems like that would end badly and not just for my wallet.
I'm thinking/hoping that Cyber Monday will be filled with historical goodness. Hrmm to the MG plot. Hrmm. I do wonder if they would go and slash her prices online or if they really would just... wait, isn't there some sale they do in the fall? I never remember properly until after it happens. I'd think, if I'm not hallucinating that sale, they'd send her there.
Oh, good. I thought maybe it was just me doing the bare minimum lurking during moving time that was making me think the board was the same 10 posts over and over (and over). The people with inside info got chased off (or flounced) or can't say anything lest they get in trouble annnnnnnnnnd this whole lack of leaks is killing me. I am not known for my patience. That said, yeah, the moment anyone knows anything, it's going to be EVERYWHERE, people.
*snorts at the child rearing* Everyone knows that asking the internet how to raise your child is crazy, unless they like one thing you like and then it's brilliant!
Fucking classic mold! That should be a shot, too. Everytime a doll is perfect except she's fucking classic mold, take two shots! One for the use of the mold and one for the rage. :P
I think I understand what you mean about the outfits. It's sort of why most dolls who do get their outfits changed don't wind up back in their Meet outfits often. You've seen them in it a thousand and one times and your brain wants something different.
Not big on the mini mes either, so we can be odd together. As a kid, the blondes aside from Skipper did nothing for me, and I don't see adult me in any doll sooooo that makes things easier. Although um, you should rethink this if they did one with awesome hair. Clearly. :p
I'll probably eyeball Sam and then Nellie will kick me in the kneecaps and say I've already got a Sam, dammit. I had wanted a new!Sam because I'm one of those who think that the PM dolls look pretty different to the Mattel dolls and Sam is my baby. But at the same time, Classic burn out. So we'll see.
Dammit, all I want are some leaks. It doesn't have to be the whole line, AG. Just... a little bit.
