I want your opinion! :3

So, I don't generally ask you guys about your opinions on my dolls and stuff, but this time I have some important stuff! (AND PICTURES!!! >:3 Me gusta)

The subject matter of today is Arashi; my Taeyang. I've REALLY neglected taking photos of him. (I think I only have like, six...? And I've had him for 9 months. ._____.) But ya see, I kinda brushed his wig and never replaced it, and I wanted to touch-up his face-up (basically, if you don't customize dolls, re-do his face makeup.) because I don't really like it that much... (._. )

SO. What does this all mean? Well, I found a wig that I wanted to buy for him, but it's $27 (not including the like, $20 shipping. =_______=) Anyways, it's a lot. I'd be almost broke if I bought that now. Which I'll probably do anyways... |3 And I realized his eyechips(basically, his eyes) were kind of dark, so I wanted to replace those, too. I've had an idea of making him look more like a ninja in my opinion for a while now, but I wanted him to have silver hair and pale eyes. :3

ONTO ZE SAMPLES!!!

I like these eyechips, but I think they're a tad too dark... I wanted him to have pale eyes, and these are too much like his old ones for me. :\

These ones I LOVE!!! They're a pale grey, so that'd look AWESOME, but I'm worried that they would clash with his wig colour... Too similar. I could get him a black wig instead, but IDK.

I think I'm currently leaning towards these ones. They're a super pale blue, and it's a "likeable" colour. I have a thing for blue eyes, anyways... ;D

I also like these (well der, I put them here as options. -_- *slaps self for being derpy*) but I think they might be kind of tropical for what I'm going for... Not quite sure.

Now this is a BJD wig, but I really like it! It's the right size (Trust me, I would know. I've been looking into this topic for eight months now.) and the right colour (even though I could change the colour... XP) And it looks like his old hair style! But it's sold out in the colour I like, so I can't buy it... ;___; Just thought I'd show you anyways. :)

This one I also like, and while I would've probably chosen to buy it in black, it's sold out in black, but I think I like it better in brown, anyways... :3 It's really awesome, though! It's really close to the style I had in mind, and It'd make him look AWESOME! >:D

OKAY. So, what do you think? I may/may not buy something before anyone comments, because I have little self control (Actually, saying I have even a LITTLE is a stretch...) and Arashi just really... ^^;" YEAH. I kind of got him all prepared to be customized because I think I'll work on his new face-up tonight. I have chalk pastels and coloured pencils, and we have sandpaper, so I'm really ready to go! I just need to have a set-in-stone plan. :\ OH RIGHT and my brother builds model Gundams, so I can ask to use his Gundam marker to do eye liner and stuff~ ;D

Well, I hope you enjoyed me actually posting pictures and stuff...? Better than my usual boring rants, yes? :)

250th!!! :D

(Yeah, 250... Whoa. .____. )

To be honest, I kinda forgot about posting for a little while there... I think this is the first time I haven't posted in one month...? :\ Well, I'm a little bit ashamed of myself, THAT'S for sure! XD

BUT, I'll do a small re-cap of the last month, if you would like! *this is not optional. I AM doing a recap :P*

During the first week of August, I went to Florida. I did not get tan- I still glow and sparkle in the sunlight. (yeah, I'm not even kidding. I'm so pale, I SPARKLE when I go outside! XD) Immediately after we got back, we went to Canada for a few days for a funeral... U_U But, I had fun nonetheless, and my family (including my relatives) were considering letting me fly out to Canada on my own for my birthday next year to visit the capital of New Iceland*!!! X3 So ja, I'm really excited for next June, now, even though it's all hypothetical, and I don't really want to travel alone. ;3

After that, I literally had one night and three full days before school started, so the only cool thing that happened was Phoebe came over to my house again~! ("legally obtained" cash. ;D)

Well, as far as "physical things" go, ya, that's what happened. .___. BUT! I did some baking in the past few weeks and I would love to show pictures! *which I did take, btw*

So, the first thing I made was Kladdkaka. It's Swedish for "gooey(or sticky) cake", and it's basically like eating brownie batter... *~* But it's cooked, so it's okay to eat. The center TOTALLY sinks down, so it doesn't look the way it does in my pictures; which were taken before I let it sit for an hour. C:

Anyways, this is really good, and I recommend making it at some point! :D

Nom nom nom...

NEXT!!! Today, I baked some bread for the very first time! *O* OMGKASDKLSAJKDYASHDKLFNJDSFH YAY!

IT. WAS. DELICIOUS.

Uhh, let's see... Well, over the course of the entire summer and a couple months before that, I have become totally obsessed with Iceland, Norway, Denmark, Sweden, and Finland; basically, the Nordic Region. ;) (my reason: HEATLIA~!!!! *regains composure* and they are really awesome places in general... (Ja, THAT'S why... XP)) So, I've been like, ACTUALLY trying to learn Icelandic (and Norwegian, btw), and I have been doing some actual research on the ACTUAL country! (not just the character, but I'm not denying the fact that I researched him, too... <3 been="been" doing="doing" have="have" i="i" why="why">actual
things? Well, in my research, I have found that it really sounds like a gorgeous country, and for me, the perfect place to live. <3 all="all" at="at" called="called" der="der" has="has" hot="hot" i="i" is="is" it="it" mean="mean" not="not" s="s" snow="snow" summer="summer" the="the" uh="uh" winter="winter" yeah="yeah">Iceland for a reason, Miranda. XD) and it's one of the least densely populated countries in the world; not to mention I love the history and the language. X3 (There's also the depressing reasons of mine, so I guess I'll just put those as a footnote at the bottom of the page... it doesn't really matter if you read them. **) (Since I love planning years ahead, I even looked in to how to become a citizen there! Ja, I know, call me crazy, but I'm seriously looking forward to that, now.)
I STILL haven't posted ANY pictures of Eril yet, but mostly because I haven't taken any of her yet... And, I was going to do a "welcome" post for her, but eh... *lazy*

The last thing I did was draw some more, and watch anime... ^^;" I bought the fourth season of Hetalia back in early July, so I was all happy-fangirling and stuff; and still am! X3 (mostly because there was an extra episode with the Nordic five, and it was really funny, and I love Norway's voice... <3 also="also" i="i" nbsp="nbsp" span="span" started="started" tsubasa:="tsubasa:" uh="uh" watching="watching">RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE, and I love it! I'm also reading the manga, and it's totally awesome. I recommend it. FO' REALZ, YO. :) Oh yeah, and I started to re-watch One Piece, because the last time I saw it, I was like... seven. XD

Anyways, that's what I've been up to! Anything you want me to go a bit more in-depth on? ^_^

*New Iceland: It's a small-ish area in Manitoba, Canada, and the capitol- where I want to visit next year- is called Gimli, and it's a few hours drive away from Winnipeg, the capitol of Manitoba. C:

**My depressing reasons for wanting to move to Iceland: I really hate it where I currently am... I honestly do. There's hardly ANY snow, and it's way too damn hot in the summer. (yeah, I just used a bad word. Trust me; I say much worse things daily, and I apologize if this offends you.) Everyone I know (and don't know) seem to hate me because I'm an odd person. Also, my family doesn't understand ANYTHING about me, and I'm constantly mocked by others for my dreams and interests... U_U,
