I Just Can't Walk Away

I promised pictures, yes? Yes, yes I did. So I will combine them and you can pick doll goodness or book goodness, or if neither interests you [shock! amazement!] you only have to worry about skipping one post and not two. Or twelve.

Books:

For all the love I have for books, I'm the sort who leaves them in stacks until I either knock them over, the cat does, or I'm finally struck by how awful it is to have your bookcase looking like someone mauled it. I meant to take a picture of the bookcases before I touched them, but I spent so long trying to get the damn light to stay on [the switches in the house are EVIL] that by the time I had light [I can see!] I just plunged into the books and didn't remember until I'd sorted through the Sweet Valley stuff and started on the misc shelf. So you missed the complete feel of anarchy. I'm sorry. The SV shelf tends to be the most easily disturbed due to the side project and the fact that I keep trying to find out which ones I need in which form [...shut up!] so.. yes. I'm sorry you missed that one.

Oh, and the bottom of the bookcase closest to my room? Yeah, that's the section of 80's love [Sleepover Friends!] that the cats peed on and I refuse to get rid of even though it's a wall of books where only the first six or so SOF books aren't ruined. But I did write down the ones that were ruined so I can replace them and not think, "wait, I own these." Yeah, you do, but they're dead to you.



And then I realized I still had a ton left in my room. The birthday pile from last year, the BSC books I'd rescued from the garage, the books I pick up at random because they're awesome... the SVH books I've left around for whatever reason. This is the never ending quest, I guess.

I must confess that Milch was the doll I was most waiting for. Because she was so preeeeeeeetty in promo land and she didn't seem like she'd be that easy to screw up between promo and reality. Luckily she wasn't. Yay!

I'm just a little slow is all.

Yesterday was apparently mail day. I got my SVH tote bag, my SVH books from PBS, and my August Pullip and DAL. I... am a horrible person, as I immediately picked Pink Chan as my favorite. It's entirely possible that poor C will be that much cuter out of her box, but as it is, she's not looking her best. Oddly, Mom adores her as is. She thinks Pink is too much. Well, duh. My re-mint goodness was the apple pie set. :D So perfect for fall!

Assuming my room isn't smooshed by one of the live oaks in the back yard this weekend, and that we aren't all swept to sea, and oh, yeah, we have power, I'll share pictures then. :p Which is my way of saying that everything I keep hearing says that Hanna-without-a-second-h will bitchslap us Friday night sometime. Last I checked it was somewhere after 8pm, but... no other details. I say thee, SCORE. I'm not going to work in a hurricane, and anyone who believes I should is obviously insane. There are a lot of places [not really] one could want to spend their time during a storm, but I wouldn't want to be at work when one hit. Too many windows. Too much junk to fly around. Also? It's work.

Anyway. PINK!


( because we care. )

Please excuse the lack of super-awesome. Because she is, but I'm not exactly awake enough to do her justice. [/excuses, excuses, excuses]

someone's been reading T.S.'s livejournal...

Someone is Liisa.



Liisa is several different kinds of cute, though her head doing a 360 when she puts her hand to her cheek? A little weird. She's my valentine's gift to myself and also the last of the Pullips I'm buying that aren't pre-order or some funtastical price. Or, you know that's what I'm telling myself anyway.

She's adorable! *dies* Why exactly did I wait so long for an Arietta? Oh, yeah, cuz I'm an eeediot.

Liisa kindly provided by pullipstyle, and arrived in two days. Pay Tuesday, she arrives Thursday. Dangerous! Also, on sale. So you can imagine all kinds of love. So much that you should be able to see little hearts everywhere.

If for some odd reason you follow the very loose Pullip storyline and wonder where the blue hell she fits in, I dunno. I still haven't figured out the specifics for Frankie [Cornice] or what the hell to call Squall. But Liisa was named easily since Mom decided she must be an Alice friend and then wanted to call her Allison, then Alyssa, then Alicia, then Alicia [as in Silverstone] and that lead to Liisa, a friend of hers. Somehow. Annnnnnd that's the evolution of the random naming process around here. If only it worked for Squall. *sigh*

Which reminds me, coming soon: Valentine's Day HORROR. Or something.

Two more nights of work. Two more.

Liisa! So cute. Muuuuuuch cuter than crappy photos. But why, oh why, is she stalking T.S.?

( Who could it be now? )

Surprisingly tired now. I ponder why.

The other day was Alice's birthday. Tuesday, to be exact.


It's her party and she'll pout if she wants to.


Lookit who showed up yesterday. Apparently she believes in being fashionably late.

( Guess who's here? )

Nameless Prince. Woo. Who, btw, needs a name. I can't just keep calling him that, as amusing as it may be to me. Hrmm.

Anyway. I don't think this will be the start of a rabid Namu love. I like Serpent, in fact, I find myself staring at him quite frequently, so I assume it's dolly love. And he fits in nicely thus far, so I'm really happy with him. But I'm also happy that I got the one I wanted and that he's not inspiring me to buy more of his kind. Unlike Alice, who appeared and then ten seconds later made a wishlist for me to get cracking on. D'oh.

And now I'm off to take one of the prettyones off the "to be paid for later" list and put her on the "just gotta kill time" list. Yay.

pullips!

( ooooooh, new )

And how I learned that London was going to hell in a handbasket [also known as why I fear for the brain power behind walgreens management]:

manager who refuses to introduce himself: so how was your night?
me: ...well, I'm still here.

He takes a moment then chuckles as he thinks this is either amusing or he wishes to humor me. I'm not sure which. Anyway, as I'm ringing his energy drink up, he begins to speak again.
him: well, I'm sure your day is going better than the people in London.
me: *blank stare* er, why?
him: don't you know? haven't you heard?
me: ...
him: explains, briefly, about the chaos.
me: *thinking* we don't get the news here, pal. it wouldn't have hit the papers, so even if I had been able to sit and read through today's paper I wouldn't know. How the hell would I know about this?


Chaos.

Cosmic thoughts.
  Mercu [Bee] has some serious makeup going on, man. That purple in the corner of her eye is actually freaking me out a little. But I think once I get used to it, it'll be one of the things I love best about her. As it is, I love the color of her eyes. They're gorgeous. Look up there. Do you see that? Gorgeous. Oh yes.
  We love her choker, her holster for her little space gun, the stars on her boots ... lots of things. Her hair is thick and long and both Cosmics have hair that reminds me of those crayons/gel pens you buy to write specifically on dark paper. Tis wonderful.

  Jupi is probably going to be my favorite once payday hits and I buy her [and Tish] some hair clips. It's odd. She's got a lot of hair, but it's really thin. I don't know if it's just Andromeda, or if all Jupis have this issue.
  I like her eye color, though I do agree it's a bit of an odd choice considering her hair color. Still, it stands out and is something I think I love about her. I love how she looks easily miffed [hence her personality], and she has the most awesome boots ever. If she had the cool little stars on her boots, I'd say she was perfect. I don't really understand why people didn't like her as much, and I'm going to feel superior to those who are now jumping on the Jupi bandwagon. Hair color wise, she has the weirdest. It's actually a shade of purple in person, but it seems to photograph a shade of pink. So odd.

If I'm ever dating someone and you hear me say, "-name here- said I couldn't spend more than" or "-name- said I couldn't buy -item I want-" or any variation thereof, I want you to smack me and tell me to break up with whoever it is, or call them on the BS. I'm trusting you all to do this. Trusting you.

Do not betray the trust.

Annnnnd now, thank you, cheerlessbeauty/Heidi! My books came today and I was so surprised. You found the Elizabeth books! *hugs* Have I told you lately I love you? :D
