Obsessed Rant on Blythe number two

I FOUND OUT MORE.

*squeals of girly happiness*
 I just spent an hour on the internet researching the little Blythes.

My initial reaction to the millions of possibilities was something like




Blythe, when I get her, will become my newest hobby.

You know why people get them?

Because they get to make them any way they choose. Showcase their skills.

Here is a normal Blythe.
A Blythe would come like that unless you bought a customized one.

Ok!
Well, I'm to going THIS far, but people like to re-do their faces their own way.

I think I'll stick to de-shinying her face.

Then people use clothes, customize, sew, all the jazz. You can buy tons of clothes online. *shakes purse* 'm going to save some of that fat paycheck for some mini outfits!!
Or I can put my excellent (that was sarcasm, I REALLY fail at sewing) skills to use to sew some up.

And, people love to play with the hair.
I sort of bought mine for her white eyes and her hair, so that won't be a problems. However, some dolls have amazing wigs that you can buy. I almost want a cheap bald Blythe to used cute short wigs on. or some with REALLY short hair.
These are both dolls in wigs. 

But my favorite thing is the changing of the eyes.


 It looks incredibly simple.
You need two glue sticks, a lighter, and some hobby glue.
You heat up the glues sticks, and stick on on each eye disk thing.
Wait a bit, and then tug it off.
Then pick off the eyes.
You can put foil behind it to make it glow the the doll has below or use new ones, and as I showed above, you can EASILY buy new ones.
Look at all those combinations.

Can you blame me for my intense excitement?!
I can get freakishly girly and obsessive over these dollies and stuff.
God, thanks for making me a girl :D I didn't like being a girl for the start of puberty *cough* (didn't think I needed to say that, but...) but now I'm freaking lovin' it. I get to shamelessly play with dollies and be weird and girly and get away with being boyish. 

So like I said before, I have a world of opportunity ahead, with so many different things to do to my own doll!

I can't wait for my birthday :D

Here's my doll again!
I get her in January, around the 6th. 



I love all the eyes, but the reddish ones could be better :/
I might change those.

She comes with her outfit, an additional dress, shoes, and a stand.

Be jealous.
Be very jealous.

*head explodes with knowledge of Blythe awesomeness*

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Blythe - The Newest Obsession

It's going to last long, from what I just realized.
Prepare for an essay of girly obsession. Dollies are the only thing that can bring out this much girlishness in me.
The Kiddles have lasted for SO long.

So I went to Toys 'Я' Us the other day, swearing not to buy ANYTHING. I'm done with toys. It was an obsession to the age 15. I freaking love toys.
No more Littlest Pet Shop for sure.
I'd buy Kiddles when I could - but they don't count because they're technically collectors items and not toys for kids. And I collect them for sure.

but I cam across something new.
Hasbro, the Littlest Pet Shop brand, mixed Blythe dolls with Littlest Pet shop.
I loved it immediately and bought a set.

Then I went home to feed my excitement with internet picture until Christmas.

Then I found something EVEN BETTER.
Real Blythe dolls. I don't care about Littlest Pet Shop, but I wanted that doll.
She's like, 5 inches tall. Real ones are a foot tall.

So I returned the small set, and I got a REAL one.
The object of many girls' obsessions.
Not usually given to those of younger age.
NEEDED by young and old women at some point in their lives.
It's the amazing Blythe doll!

I spent hours on eBay, because there are many different types of dolls.
There's the real Kenner ones, that go for almost one thousand dollars.
Then there's the secondary ones, usually heavily customized, for a few hundred.
And millions, and millions, and MILLIONS of clothes and accessories.
I narrowed it down over and over ad over again until I came across an array of cheaper ones for 35 dollars.

So I figure before I click on it, "Well, I can return the one I have, that's minus 15 bucks, then there's the 10 dollars Christmas money I have left, so then I only have to pay ten or so dollars towards it."

I looked at all the ones the seller had, and took several days trying to decide. It was EXTREMELY hard.

Finally I got one. It should come before the end of the second week of January.
Worth it.

Now you might ask what they are or what they do or what I will use it for.
Well.
They are 12" dolls that are widely bought for their awesomeness. They are mostly known for the fact that they can change their eyes. You can select 4 different ones. Their basic colors are blue, green, red, and either white or pink. They are customized in many ways - their eyes changed, faces changed, hair changed, millions of (not-so-cheap) clothes options...there's a world of opportunity. I'm going to jump into that world with my own doll.

Here's ton of pictures of the dolls :D
I'll tease you with awesome ones, and then end it with a picture of my rather plain one that I will be getting shortly!

pictures 1, 2, 8, 9, 10, 14, 21 and 22 have basic faces, like mine will have. Many of the others have been 'customized'.
























DRUMROLL!!






Mine. 
I love her hair and her white eyes. 
I'll see how shiny she really is, and if worse comes to worse, there's the nail-buffer trick.



DRAG THIS PICTURE TO THE BAR IN THE BROWSER to see it bigger.

There's a lot of potential in her, plus I get another dress, a pair of shoes, and a stand.

Robots, a Phone, and Writer's Block






I drew all those recently. They're a cat thing, a bug, a griffin-like animal, an alien thing, and a dragon. All robotic and shiny and Photoshop edited :D
I used lots of effects but there's a lot of the original piece in there.

I GOT A NEW PHONE FOR TEXTING AS WELL :D I haven't gotten a new phone in 4 years.
I'M SO FLIPPING (literally) HAPPY :D


But the worst news ever...
all the chapters I'm writing in my book are at slow, lame, unimaginationful parts and I can't figure out how to connect them to awesome new parts.

MY BRAIN IS SOOOOO FRIED.



My work people are dumping hours on me, which is good and bad.

Today I have yet another non school day because of work and then shopping :/

Oh well.

coming undone



Trigger between my eyes
please strike
make it quick now

since I was young
I've tasted sorrow on my tongue


choke, choke again
I find my demons were my friends
getting me in the end, 
they're out to get me
that's right, deliver it to my heart
please strike, be deliberate




keep holding on
while my brain's ticking like a bomb
guess the black thoughts have come
again
to get me

wait, I''m starting to suffocate
and soon I anticipate
I'm coming undone...what looks so strong, so delicate



I'm trying to hold it together
head is lighter than a feather
looks like I'm not getting better

I never realized how strange I am

UNTIL NOW.

Nothing told me, but after searching through my computer and stuff, I have confirmed this.

Is it a bad thing?

Are you irritated with me?

Is my morbid book, love of strange things like beheaded dolls and blood and weird owl things ok?

Why do I have naked baby doll earrings and a chicken toy that lays a squishy egg?
Why do these things fascinate me?

I don't know about myself.
Everyone else is so awesome and normal and gets along. I sit around listening to Korn under a skull-with-a-mohawk-hat.
People ignore my emails too.

I just wonder, am I really a not cool person? A weirdo? Someone people don't want to be friends with?

True, I have realllllly close awesome friends.

They are just like me as well.
I can pester them with whisks and have a great old time listening to music with them and getting in odd costumes with them.

Perhaps I'm down on being alone, relationship wise.

Someday, a person like one of my friends; who is as weird as I am and likes me for who I am, will appear.
Hopefully.

What do I do wrong?
I don't understand.
What is my biggest problem?
Care to tell me what's wrong with me?
What are my faults (gently, please, I don't need some hash-slinging-slashers)?



I'm pretty sure there's something wrong with me.

Korn - Somebody Someone



This song reminds me of now.

And look out the window, be in your own movie, be a character of your imagination.

I use this as fuel for a single messed up book.
