I really wans't the plan...

Sooo. I did end up pressing that button and now I have Ami and Ani coming home to me! At some point. :D Soooo excited! I dunno quite yet who I will be getting to do their face-ups, but I still have time! It is quite annoying though to have them be twins- meaning that I will have to buy two of absolutely EVERYTHING for them. And if I buy something that isn't right for them, I will end up with a collection of clothes etc. xD But that ain't much of a hardship, so I shouldn't complain!

I think I will be going to L-Doll this year, as I need to take holiday and we can go there by car. I've already managed to sell the idea to my boy, so he's up for going there, I just need to book some time off and book a hotel + ferry and off we go. I was thinking to leave on Friday so that we would arrive there on Friday evening and then we would have the whole weekend there, plus I think two more days after the weekend for more touristy things, because my boy won't be that interested in L-Doll, so that part of the trip won't be interesting for him. As we are taking the car, we were thinking that we should try and see if there were any other people from our area that are going there, as we are able to drive a couple of more people there with us. But we'll see what happens with that.

Oh good lord the adventure I had last night! I ended up taking care of one of my co-workers as he had drank waaay too much and we ended up getting off on the wrong tube station, so we had to take two buses and then a taxi for him. And this whole time, I had to keep him upright and lift him up whenever he decided he needed to sit down... I feel sore today!!! I am so not used to lugging around a guy my size. But, who is? O.o He better be getting me a minion for all the trouble I went through for him. xD

Anyway, I need to start getting ready for work, as I do have to go and be a waitress/bartender tonight. Not sure which I will actually be tonight. xD Oh well, toodles to all!

Meep.

It seems like I'm getting DZ's Ami and Ani. They have been in my shopping cart for a while now and I just need to press the checkout button and it's nearly done. Eeeeeeee... I'm scared to press that button!

Pizza's our middle name!

I found out about Samurai Pizza Cats yesterday. WTF? That is just so random. Not that anime isn't a bit random normally, but whaat? Cyborg Samurai Pizza Cats- that definitely makes it to my random list.

I mentioned in my previous post that I am now working about 50-60 hours a week...  I figure that I owe myself something nice for working so hard. So I was thinking to buy a proper camera. But then I was looking at BJD carrier bags today and came across a Dollzone one that seems quite roomy and okay looking (this thing here), and that got me looking at DZ Ami and Ani again. And I started looking into them, and it would come to £240 to buy them blank and with double joints. Then for the extra Ami head it would be £35. And thus my order for DZ (with the carrier) would come to £302. And I would be able to get their event head with that order. But I have no use for it, so I would end up selling it, but I have no idea which one I should get... Meh. But still, £302 for Ami & Ani, plus an extra Ami head and a carrier bag... That isn't that much. And I really want Ami and Ani. Uuuuuurgh!

My boyfriend just left for Poland and he's gonna be away for about a week. Me sad now. Because most likely I will have some problems sleeping because of that. Ugh. BUT there is good sides to this as well. Like setting up my laptop to the projector and using two screens at the same time. One of which spans over half of our wall. Oh yeah baby!!!

I don't know what to do about the camera/doll situation. So torn right now. :'C

Uh Whut?

Hi! I'm back again! I will probably disappear again at some point, because that seems to be what I do...

Things have been completely dead on the dolly and crafting front in my life for the past months- I have done NOTHING relating to those two. It makes me sad, but hopefully soon I will be back to doing something, now that I am working in my 9-5 job full-time. I am still doing evening shifts a few times a week in my waitressing job, so I only have about 4 evenings off in a week. But I will have nice paychecks because of all the work, so I can't really complain too much. As I chose to work two jobs, you know...

I do have some plans, as I have become completely obsessed with Fantine's bonnet in Teddie Films' 'Dream and Shout'... I really want one for myself, but I'm thinking that first I should make one for Pan, so that I can figure out the best way to do it- the loss of fabric will be so much less for her bonnet than for mine, when I end up screwing something up.

This is 'Dream and Shout'.

I am completely obsessed with Paint's 'After Ever After'- I keep listening to it almost every day when I have the time. I have even sung Pocahontas's part to myself every now and then... I try to sing it under my breath, because other people may get slightly worried if I start singing about entrails... Mmm. Yummy.

And this here is 'After Ever After'.

Can I say how much I hate traveling on the tube with obnoxious football fans? I hate traveling with them even more than traveling with a group of really drunk women. (I know this may sound weird, with me being a woman myself, but there is nothing amusing with a group of women screaming, and laughing like a herd of horses. It gets on my nerves quite badly.) And now that I have to travel to work through Wembley, I have to travel with football fans way too often. Not what I would classify as good time...

But on a more pleasant note, I went to a friend's barbeque this weekend, and we made cocktails and had way too much food. The steaks were bigger than my face, the bowl of seafood could have satisfied about 20 people, and then there was all the other extras like burgers, lamb hearts, and a few salads. All in all, a fair amount of food for a dozen people. And then the booze- it was a cocktail party just as much a barbeque, so there was quite a bit of alcohol. All of which was necessary. Obviously. But at least we had planned who was bringing what, so we didn't end up with five bottles of Malibu but no vodka, you know? And I got to make some cocktails for other people! In an environment that wasn't work. :D (Not that I don't like making drinks at work, I just hate having to rush making them every now and then when it is very busy- not the best environment to make The Most Awesome Cocktails.)

I made my macaroni and beetroot salads for the barbeque and they seemed to go down okay- my boyfriend at least really liked the macaroni salad, and the scandi-people seemed to like my beetroot salad (the salad was trying to be similar to the one we get in Finland and Sweden, possibly also in Norway, though I am not sure about that). I really need to find the perfect beetroots for that salad though, because the two different ones I have tried so far have not been quite right. Unless I want to start boiling them myself, but I think that will just end in disaster, so I would rather avoid that... xD

Talking of beetroots, my boyfriend decided to make me some beetroot risotto, as I have never tried it. It was surprisingly good I have to say. A bit sweeter than I expected, but that was probably because the beetroots used were quite sweet. But still very good. Definitely want to have that in the future as well. And I swear, my life does not revolve around beetroots. It just happens to have been a very beetrooty week.

I think this post may have gone on a bit long, and it is quite late now, so goodnight, or good morning peeps!
