Tagged! :)

Okay, so I was tagged because I was wearing green at the time of reading Kendall's post from starry nights+sunny days, and I'm supposed to say seven random facts about myself I have not previously mentioned on this blog, AND tag seven people! :) 1. I have recently rediscovered my love of reading. :) 2. Certain types of gum make me want to play certain video games... (i.e. Orange trident: Mario Party seven. Green Trident: Mario Party six. Discontinued purple trident: Pikmin 2.) 3. I plan on moving to Australia when I graduate University. 4. I'm going to take the SAME interior decorating class that my dad took when he was in University, because I'm going to the one he went to. :) 5. My oldest brother is one in four million. Literally. He's mentally challenged, so... yeah... 6. In fifth and sixth grade I was bullied by my now friend. :'( 7. I've been trying to make my room relaxing, but with a TV in front of it and dolls behind 24/7... it doesn't work out. :( Well... I tag... Phoebe's doll Nicole, Phoebe, The Crazy Doll Lady, Hannah, and for the last three, whoever follows Inside a Doll's Mind! :) If you can't because you don't have a blogger, then I'm sorry... ~Miranda

Felicity's birthday! :D

It's been about two months since I took these pictures, so I'll share them with you! Just go to this link, and tell me what YOU think about her birthday! :) Oh, and by the way, my parent's camera got over-heated, so the pictures suck. :'( ~Miranda

Seize the Day

1.) I have decided to go for a more... simple look on my blog. Yes, I know I made changes the other day, but I REALLY AM going to change my blog personality this time! :) I am home sick with a bad cold today, so I feel that I might as well make the best of it! :D

2.) I have done a MAJOR cleanup in my room on Sunday, and I got Violas, and bamboo(which cleans the air) so I could have a... a... ? Bright and airy feel. You know, the feeling of the gentle breeze swishing your hair around. The smell of the Earth after it rained. The feeling of knowing there is nothing to do but lie on your bed wondering about the way things are. The feeling of simple joy.

3.) I have been SERIOUSLY into interior decorating now, because I already know the University I want to go to, and I'm trying to redecorate my house, but my mom doesn't want me to. :(

4.) I have been feeling simplified recently. I FEEL like I just want to rush outside, and capture the feeling of wind in my hair. I want to BE that person everybody loves because she doesn't care about what other people think about her. I want to plant flowers, while not caring if my impecable outfit is dirty. I want to be me.

5.) I gave my dolls silly bands. :D

6.) I feel like I have been a bad friend recently. :( I haven't really cared about what they have been thinking, and I am ashamed. :'( I feel bad now. :(

7.) My mom had vowed to get in shape, and I am going to walk ith her from now on. :D

8.) My bike seems sad, so I'll take it for a ride later today.

9.) I am going to clean up the house, because Spring Cleaning has hit me EXTREMELY hard this year, because I know how my family lives is horribly messy. I have the ONLY semi-clean room in my WHOLE house! D:

10.) I feel like an adult, for some very strange reason... I just want to have a house that will impress my friends, even though I don't usually have friends over... :(

How have YOU 'seized the day'? I didn't REALLY seize the day, I was just using wishful thinking...

~Miranda

A picture's worth a thousand words.

Sometimes... I feel that this is all I need to say. No big harmonious speeches, just...

~Miranda

Even MORE Positively me!

Yeah, this blog is starting to slip into my whiny state, where I just complain, or say what I want, or hate. :( And I realized that's NOT what I intended this blog to be about! This blog is supposed to be about Me. Just Simply me. POSITIVELY me. Hence the blog title! XD

This blog isn't about flowers, puppies and unicorns, nor is it about my hates, wants, and needs. It's about life. How to enjoy it; inspirational photos; quotes; and other points of my interests. I will take simplicity into reality with my room,(which I might show in pictures for a post.), my blog, and my life. I will try NOT to show my "not so awesome" side in real life, and I will try to be maybe a TAD more feminine(i.e. Not trying to burp louder than my dad, or trying to murder zombies in video games, or other gross things. :) So... In other words... I'm trying to re-organize my life this weekend! :( I PROBABLY won't post much, or at ALL in these upcoming weeks, with me training myself to branch out of JUST being my weird, "delightfully" awkward self.

I.
Am.
Miranda.

NO.

ONE.

WILL.

TELL.

ME.

OTHERWISE.

Now, to finish this post with my 'hopefully' last ramble...

I like flowers, shiny things, puppies, dolls, books, video games, my family, photography, looking at art, learning about my parents "better years", trying to make my room prettiful, trying to take better pictures, lying on my bed wondering who the heck I am, making my bed(?), occasionally being OCD, going shopping, going to Barnes and Noble, helping my mom with her Kindle, occasionally shooting the crap out of an air soft target with my air soft gun, planting plants, buying plants, photographing plants, writing my feelings in my diary to let them out only to have Phoebe read them later... , painting my nails, brushing my hair, being greedy, thinking of things to do for and with my dolls, designing doll clothes that I will most likely never make, look at www.libertyjaneclothing.com , reading my e-mail, trying to be the best me I can be, procrastinating, and...

Being Miranda.

The hardest thing to be, is to be someone else.

I am NOT trying to be someone else.



I am trying to show Miranda.

:( / :)

So, I'll tell you about school today! :)/:( Why the conflicting happy/sad faces? Well, it was a good, AND bad day at school!

First of al, I had no homework to do during my study hall type thing, and I didn't have any for tonight! :D

That's the AWESOME news. Here's the bad news.

We played a HORRIFYING form of dodge ball in gym today. I LITERALLY almost passed out! D: There were ten groups, with roughly eight people in each group, and two groups were selected to be in the center at a time. The other eight groups were running around the gym, trying not to get hit. If you got hit, you had to hoola-hoop or jump rope until the round ended. There WERE four little safe shields, but you could only stay behind them for five seconds, or you were a target for the blls to hit. I didn't get out ONCE, but being the weak thing I am, I tried to hide behind the shields. My gym coach threw dodge balls at me to get me to leave the shields. I avoided all the pelted balls, and I had a total of ten adrenaline rushes.

I was basically a pathetic ADHD deer, who had four broken legs, trying to run a fifty mile marathon. I am not ANY of what I just said, but that's how I felt. D:

I wondered why my friend wasn't breathing heavily after gym class, and it was because she was JUST thin enough to hide behind the shields, and not be noticed. She didn't run. >:( I practically had a heart attack, running every five seconds, for forty five minutes, avoiding balls that really hurt(because in my eyes, the balls were spike covered, with blood dripping off of them, but they were really squishy. :) ), while SOME PEOPLE didn't give ANY effort WHATSOEVER! >:(

Other than that BIG drawback, I had a pretty good academic day. :)

AGMV?

I don't know... Maybe? I would have to get a YouTube account first, and that might happen soon, considering I already have my own google account. I have been watching kittzykk and girloftheyearproductions on YouTube, so I have been quite inspired. Stop motion seems a little hard, though. I'll probably make one over Spring Break while I'm doing nothing. The weather will be better, and Kanani will DEFINITELY be in the video! I could do a music video, or a story, or... or... something else! XD

Also, I have been considering having an American Girl Pen Pal! It sounds like fun, and after seeing how much fun kittzykk and girloftheyearproductions had exchanging gifts in the mail, I thought it would be fun! I would have to get a PO box for privacy reasons, though. What do you think? I would love to know! My thoughts are still in the production stage, though. Don't get all excited yet. I may have details later when I'm 100% sure I want to do this. But for now, forget about it. Clear? YAY! :D

~Miranda

P.S. I will most likely start making an AG video tonight, but it is not confirmed... I will tell you when I finish, and what it is about. I will probably make it about my dolls having their first sleepover! :D

Sad. :(

I am sad today. :( That's why my font is in a depressing navy colour. :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( First of all, one of my friends that I have had troubles with in the past was being really mean again today, just because I didn't know who the heck KeSha was(I don't want you to correct me in my spelling. I'm to sad to give a crap.)

Then, a total pervert wouldn't be quiet during band, which made me more depressed. :( The worst part is, I sit RIGHT NEXT to that kid! D:

As if THAT wasn't enough to make me sad, I only got five hours of sleep last night due to my mind racing with dollish thoughts and the time change. O (if you look sideways, it kinda looks like a yawn.)

Sad. :( I was so depressed by fifth period(eleven fifteen), I would've kicked a puppy and not cared. And I LOVE puppies! :(

My emo brother is really annoying, and he keeps on saying EXTREMELY mean things to me that are inappropriate to post. :(

Oh, AND my BAGF(best American girl friend) wasn't at school, so I didn't get to have a chance to laugh it off. :'(

Depression hurts. Cymbalta can't help. :(

Tagged?

I haven't been tagged until now, and I was tagged TWICE! No I will NOT put FOURTEEN things about myself, I'll just put seven. :( I COULD go on to infinity about random things about me, because (as Phoebe knows) I am EXTREMELY random! :D

Sooo... here I go! D:

1. I LOVE a food called Mochi, and my favorite flavors of it are green tea and peanut.
2. I have had roughly ten babysitting jobs, but I have only babysat two people.
3. I want to live in Australia, Sarasota Florida, and Canada at some point in my life.
4. I have lived in four different states so far(but I MIGHT move again before I'm out of high school D:)
5. My favorite doll is Lily Renae Tazo(though most of you knew that already! XD)
6. I want to be an interior decorator who graduates from the University of Saskatchewan when I grow up.
7. My mom is going to knit me a slouchy hat or two this weekend. :D

Have fun!!! :)

Wow.

First of all, I would like to say that I am ALSO possibly getting the luggage set(refer to my previous post if you don't know what this is about), AND, today, my mom got a Kindle! She needed TONS of help from me, with her buying books and such... she's lost in the world of technology. She says she feels like Ralphie did on Christmas when he got a Red Rider BB gun(from the movie A Christmas Story). I got to know it, and it's AMAZING!!! At first, I was all, "Oh, nooks are better, meh," but... now I want a Kindle! Eh, there's always next year. Wait, but I was gonna get like, five other dolls next year... damn.(sorry. :(... I couldn't help it!)

Well, peace out!!! :D

~Miranda

Doll decisions

I have two dolls that I really want. It took me forever and a whole school day to decide on them! I want(when I say want, I mean WILL GET) #33 and #23. I was going to get a doll named Lucile Conea(from France) and she was the caramel coloured hair and blue eyes doll, but I'll get her next year! :)

Free shipping has started, so you know, I'm planning all my AG purchases for my birthday, Easter, and everything! I did NOT have any LJC items, :(, BUT, I AM getting a few outfits I KNOW are being retired this year: the ballet outfit, Honey pj's, outdoor play outfit(camp themed), photography outfit, and the yoga outfit! The only outfit that is relatively new I am buying is the snowflake pajama set. IT'S SO FLIPPIN' PRETTY!!! :D:D:D:D:D Not to mention the GOTY, Kanani and her starter collection! :) Long, golden locks aren't far out of view...(stares dreamily into distance... :) ...)

16.

Wow. Today, my brother Griffin is 16. The best part is, I'm still alive! :D I thought I would be dead by now! XD He is in a surprisingly good mood, which is one reason why I'm shocked. Happy Birthday, Griffin!

~Miranda

P.S. No, he did NOT get a car!

Sick. :(

I'm so, SOOO sorry I haven't been on blogger for the past... while. You see, I've been sick, and I have ALSO been looking into interior decorating books lately. I am OBSESSED with www.homemadesimple.com especially, and I LOVE the book my dad got for free at work from it! :D I read it until about 11 last night, and I REALLY want to plant a garden now! But alas, I can not due to the crappy weather outside. Don't get me wrong, it IS warming up, but you know, it's rainy, and it's only in the fifties where I live.

To top off my sad mood, tomorrow is my emo brother's 16th birthday. SIXTEENTH. I'm scared for my well being, now... At the very least, he won't be driving anytime soon! XD Sorry, I sounded really mean there... :(

I'm sick. D:

~Miranda

OMGLJB!

OH MY GAWD! MY LIBERTY JANE BOOTS ARRIVED!!!!! :D:D:D:D:D

They look FANTASTIC on Lanie! She's wearing her nature outfit(not including the shoes, of course!) I feel kind of jealous, because my DOLLS have designer boots(a.k.a. doll UGGs) before I do! How Ironic... XD

~Miranda

P.S. This is another hint, although you may already know that I bought....

During the Grammies...


THE GREEN NORDIC BOOTS! (crowd goes wild)
