Tsukareta......=_=.......

I'm exhausted today, for reason's unknown. Maybe I've been psychically drained by recent events, or maybe it's a lack of oxygen to the brain brought on by trying to memorize kanji, or.....it's not that I'm having any trouble at all remembering. It's just that I'm not used to forcing my brain to retain as much as it can. Really! I haven't felt this way since college.

Minako shipped out my Volks glass eyes today. I'm very excited ^_^! I wonder if maybe I could've picked another color, but when it comes down to it, you can't find red glass eyes anywhere else. I also won an SD jacket on eBay. I'm prolly going to want to make Fuuka some actual clothes to go under it before I put it on her, and that's going to have to wait until after Christmas.

I hurt my leg exercising, but I can't seem to stop long enough to let it heal. I can't help it, I feel crabby when I don't get enough exercise! It's a strange kind of pain..it doesn't hurt when I'm walking specifically...it just kind of....throbs at random times during the day. It feels a little like someone hit me in the shin with a hammer. O_O.

I'm feeling pretty gloomy right now, so I might as well mention that I think I've reached a plateau with my 1/6 doll painting. Not a I'm-as-good-as-I-can-get plateau, but an all-my-recent-dolls-have-looked-like-crap-to-me-and-I-wonder-if-I-can-even-paint-at-all-cuz-I'm-not-getting-any-better kind of plateau. Maybe that's the same thing? I'm not giving up, but I'm feeling pretty frustrated. Fuu.......I think I need some new brushes. I bet that will do the trick.

TOD 2 is coming out on Thanksgiving. I guess I'll get it pretty soon, then ^__^! Of course, I won't play it until Christmas. But it'll be nice to have it in my hands....^_____^

Ooooogh....there goes my leg again!

I haven't given much thought to something special to make for Thanksgiving. Mom will probably push for pumpkin cheesecake, but I don't feel too cool about making that because it's kind of....low fat. =_= It's from a dark time in my life when EVERYTHING I ate had to be low fat. Now, I figure that if the stuff I eat for meals and snacks is naturally not that bad for you, I can do whatever I want for dessert. I've grown tired of fussing over what I eat. A few years ago, I had a bad experience with trying to make my diet super-healthy that gives a whole lot of meaning to the warning "Don't attempt a new diet or exercise plan without consulting a doctor first!"

^_____^;;; Remember, people, it IS important to have some fat in your diet!

Please snow. =_=

I know, it makes for dangerous driving conditions and....all that fun stuff but I really do want to see some snow in the next 48 hours. It's almost December, and I haven't seen a single snowflake even though I live in New England. Let's see some snow! I want to start thinking about Christmas!

I've been kind of thinking about selling Fuuka's default eyes. I'd have to inspect them for scratches, but I can't see myself putting them in her again. There's just something about default eyes, you know.....once you take them out, there's no turning back.

I'm glad that New Makeup Rio takes 22mm eyes. 24mm glass eyes are expensive! I thought I heard someone say that the mini SDs now come with their eyewells carved for 18mm eyes. If that's the case, I might want to use 18mm eyes in Anise (Myu #2) to make her a little different.

I feel like I said that already in a previous entry. Did I?

Thinking to myself.....if I were to get any color eyes for her, I would get her Tallina's glass eyes in gray green. .....Now that I think of it, though....I'm not sure if getting her a different size would be a great idea, because she'd be the only one who could wear them! Fuu......

::wonders when either of the Myus will come in::

Well, whichever one comes first will be Saffron!

I should list some stuff in eBay, truly. '_' I think I'll try posting some items on an off-eBay for sale list first. My room is overrun with anime junk and dolls, and I've been seriously considering selling my Volks Kuniyoshi. Nothing personal, I just have no room ;_;....It's strange. I'm used to thinking of dolls as my "children," but when it comes down to it, only SDs feel like "children." I think it has something to do with their size. Maybe they're just more lifelike? I've always considered my 1/6 custom dolls to exist on their own plane, with their own lives and stories. SDs seem to exist mostly in the human, real world, though. I guess that any doll you could carry around in your arms like an infant would be like that...heh heh.......
