What Your Cute Monster Says About You



You are a very natural, real person. You're comfortable with who you are - and your spirit truly shines through.

You are free of inhibitions and hang ups. Because of this freedom, you tend to be very creative.

Your inner demon is greed. You can't help but lust after wealth and shiny objects.

People think you're cute because you are so lively. Your natural glow makes you charming.

also, even better than being a housecat, Staci guessed i was "the cat's pajamas" xD that's so much better!

i'm booooooored

song+ nothing. i left my ipod at home
book+ november previews
scent+ dusty comics
quest+ catching up on my subs at work
upper+ i know what costume i'm wearing to work tomorrow
downer+ i can't get overtime. it would be nice.
attire+ grey tinkerbell tee and jeans
drink+ water. yay water.


it's almost hallowe'en. i have my costume figured out, i'm gonna wear my pajamas, house slippers and kitteh ears and tail. i'll be a housecat! xD ..shut up, it's awesome.

DOD is starting to fall behind on delivering. they're still on the orders payed Sep 12. on the upside, that was the heaviest ordering day, so once they finish, they should breeze through the other days up to the 30th. i payed the 29th, so i'll be one of the last shipped, but i've been counting on a longer wait since the beginning. i should still have her by Thanksgiving, i think. i really need to get saving so i can order the next doll on my list. i'd like to have the funds to order Xavin (and everything for her customization) by the end of February. that's coming up pretty soon, really. especially when you consider there are so many other things that are higher priority.

so far this week i've racked up 2 hours of overtime. as being payed overtime isn't currently in the budget, i've been informed i get to clock out around 4 tomorrow. yeah it's an early start to hallowe'en, but i won't be doing anything and kyu will still be working, so essentially i'll be not-paid to sit around bored for 2 hours. sounds awesome. not. X.x

i really need to do something creative soon, i'm getting bored. i was undertaking the task of taking in all the storebought doll clothes that i got for Bea that were too big, but i'm through the shirts, and i can't let out the skirts until i find my seam ripper. i want something more creative.. like when i did the finger separation on the kids, that was fun and absorbing. it only took a few hours though, i need something that'll take longer, but not so long i walk away without finishing it.

i want to get better thread for my sewing machine, and i want to try a handful of doll-related crafts i've seen. the big obstacle to doing these fun things is that i'm sorely lacking in funds, and budgeted strictly through the new year. even cheap fun is too pricey for me lately. i hate being broke.

birthday rambling

song+ Hairspray- the movie soundtrack
book+ nothing
scent+ dusty comics
quest+ catching up on my subs at work

upper+ i had an awesome birthday
downer+ money's still pretty tight
attire+ red and blue rugby tee, jeans
drink+ water. yay water.


i'm at four weeks on my wait for Delphine, and so far DOD is making good on their promise of shipping at the 5 week point. this makes me super excited. Jenni, i'll make sure to tell you and Roro when i get my notice. last time i got the actual package within a week of the notice.

my birthday was awesome, for those who wondered. i left work early and caught a super secret movie of shame with Moose and Roro. xD it was good. we then went home and watched Hairspray, because Roro hadn't ever seen it. it wasn't yet over when Kyu and James got home, so they left with a declaration of "we're going to the store" i called when our movie was over and was told that they were just heading back. when i asked why they took so long i was told they were at the mall. apparetly when they said "store" they meant the really big one with more inside. xD

they got back and before too long Ashley H showed up with her kid. i then watched Roro, Moose, and Ash play wii sports. i laughed a lot. xD cupcakes were enjoyed by all. i spent the rest of the weekend playing my recently acquired copy of Dragon Quest(Warrior) IV. good times. i still love that game as much as i ever did. i'll likely beat it before the week is up. Kyu is next in line to play it. the re-translation is bothering me a little, i know it's likely more accurate now, but i still refer to everything by the old crappy names. xD

drive by posting

song+ Murder- Ashlee Simpson- Bittersweet World
book+ nothing
scent+ dusty comics
quest+ unclogging the thread jam in my sewing machine
upper+ we've settled nicely into the new place

downer+ money's still pretty tight
attire+ glittery Punisher tee and jeans
drink+ water. yay water.


i love the new place. we got the last of the stuff moved this weekend, and we've been unpacking things all along. we're settling in pretty nicely.

Roro spent the weekend here, we had a dolly sleepover and played videogames. xD it was awesome! i'm working on a dress for "Bubbles" currently. well, not at this exact moment, but when i get home i'll un-clog the thread jam in my machine and get back to work on it. it should be supercute when it's done.

i'm still spazzing over the wait period for my Delphine. i'm either halfway there, or one quarter of the way there in regards to a shipping notice. xD i'm so excited for her to come home!

last week i worked on finger and toe separation for the kids already at home. i need to finish up with a super fine-grit sandpaper, but i can't find mine just yet, so it can wait. xD the hands and feet do look a lot more expressive now that they're not one massive blob. i love how it looks now. *ker-happy* xD

that's all for now i guess. still internet-less at home. that should be fixed late this month or early next month. i'll let ya'll know.

quick update

song+ Disease- Matchbox 20- More Than You Think You Are
book+ nothing
scent+ rain
quest+ getting throug the day
upper+ the bulk of the moving is done!
attire+ work clothes (we have no internet at home for now)
drink+ water. yay water.


we got most of our stuff moved this weekend. there's still some stuff we forgot and a day or so of cleanup to go. we didn't get all dad's stuff that was "dibs"ed packed away, sorry guys. i also didn't get the stuff of Roro's i had for safekeeping. X.x Lola (the old manager) does know we're not done, so it should all be safe for another week.

the new place is great. we still need to find a home for Zeero, we can't keep him another week. it's just not working. also Harley hates her kennel, but is making slight improvement in her traning. new neighbors are very friendly. it halps that we already knew a lot of them.

i forgot how out of shape i was. the walk to work just about killed me this morning. X.x it'll get better though, it was likely the humidity that was so awful. soon we hope to be riding our bikes to work. easier and faster.


if anyone can help with mucking and cleanup this saturday, please let me know. thanks!

also we're internet-less for the next bit, so posting will be limited to getting to work early, or borrowing the neighbor's computer. calling is a better bet if you need to reach us.

book+ nothing
scent+ nothing discernable
quest+ SLEEP
upper+juafter that short break, we have to finish here
attire+ sleep stuff
drink+ flat-ish warm-ish Dr Pepper. yum.


so today after work we saw the new place for the first time, and brought our friend mike over to help muck. i packed a little more, and then jenni and bonnie came over and plowed through dad's room. it's way cleaner than i expected it to get this weekend. THANKS GUYS!!

i'm about to go to sleep so i can wake up in a few hours to get started on moving day. by the time i'd taken a shower it was already 12:30. now that my wind-down is about done, i'm gonna get some sleep.
