The Happenings. ;D

Well. I haven't really been doing anything lately. Although I COULD just end the post here and leave you guys feeling bored, I could PROBABLY tell you what I've REALLY been doing! ^_^

Okay. So, you know how I got a Pullip and Taeyang for Christmas? Well, I gave Akoya(the girl) a name now! :D She's Yumie, and she likes cookies.(lol, who DOESN'T?!) And, as for Arashi, I plan on possibly customizing him, but I'm not entirely sure yet. You see, there's this character from a video game(really just an iPod app that's pretty in-depth) that is PRETTY awesome(a.k.a. hot! XD) and you know... I already plan on getting him an obitsu(new body) so I figured, "Why not make him a custom in the process? :D" AND that's where I am now.

I've also been SUPER happy, because Liberty Jane clothing released the pattern for the Shibuya jacket!!! :D :D :D That's my FAVOURITE outfit she has made SO FAR, and I was bummed out that I couldn't buy it. :( BUT, now I can make it! It should be pretty awesome for some stuff I have planned. ;)

Moving on to AG as the previous paragraph starts... I probably won't be making Caitlin until later on in the year. :'( You see, there was an unexpected change of plans, so I won't be getting the doll I need for Easter. *super sad face* It's just that there's another doll that's in a limited quantity state, and the limited stuff comes first to me! (Besides, I need to have as much $$$ as possible at hand so I can make my Arashi a custom... :) ) But, at least this time I'll have a brand new doll to work with! :D

Other than my regular doll-ish ponderings, I've been playing video games, drawing manga, and watching Hamtaro. :D This combination is the recipe for my perfect three day weekend!!! n_n

Oh, and I think next post I'll F-I-N-A-L-L-Y post a few pictures.

What would you like to see? Yumie? Arashi? Rebbecca(my Dal)? Any of my AG dolls? A flower? My flute? My saxophone? Fried chicken? Just comment on what you want to see!

Also, I lied about the fried chicken.

I have a picture of Terriyaki chicken. Not fried. XD

1.5

It amazes me. One and a half YEARS I have been posting on this blog! Can you believe it?! I really can't. I would have PROBABLY given up blogging if I hadn't known that 34 people follow me. I mean, sure, I wouldn't have DELETED my blog or anything, but I considered stopping posting.

But, why I am talking about such things?! This is a HAPPY occasion! And, also today, it's Phoebe from Love That Doll's 1.5 Blogoversary, too! :D She is really important to me, because she was the one that caused me to blog in the first place! I'm sure that most of you have heard of her blog, but if you haven't, then check it out HERE!!! She's pretty awesome, and she's one of my closest friends! :D

My dolls are doing pretty good right now, and I'm shocked. Just ABSOLUTELY shocked, that I'm still into dolls! Five years, twelve dolls. That's pretty awesome. ESPECIALLY considering the fact that I'm moving into other interests right now! ;D

Well, have you guys ever been shocked that it's been _____ years since you got your first AG doll, and you STILL love collecting dolls today? Comment and tell me!

~Miranda

KYLIE!!!!!! :D

Okay... NOT really sure WHY the pictures are sideways... But, here is her "before" picture...

... And After! Here she is! :D

ISN'T SHE PRETTY!?!?! She has blue eyes, but she's being emo right now. XD lol. The shoes ARE one of the two pairs I ordered from releaserain on ebay, and I ALSO bought her wig there, but I got the last one. :) Sorry, shes' not ENTIRELY done(I still need to paint her lips purple. :( ) but She's in play-able condition, so I thought, "Hey, why DON'T I show the pictures???"

Sooo... WHat do you think?! Did I do a good job in your opinion? Do you <3 her hair streak? Her hair? I would LOVE to know! :D

~Miranda

Call me "over-thinker", but...

I already have my whole Christmas wish-list figured out! :D

Since I have nothing better to do, I thought I'd list it out!(Oh, and mind you I was going to buy about half of the stuff on the list, okay?!)

Jesse(#48)

Kanani's Ukulele set

Kanani's party dress

Kanani's Aloha outfit

Hawaiian Monk Seal

Special Mini Kit

Special mini Rebbecca

Special mini Kirsten

Special mini Felicity

Merry and Bright Dress

Holiday accessories

Frosty party outfit

Coconut pajama's

Sporty Winter outfit

Snowshoe set

Cozy Sweater outfit

Sweet School Dress(maybe.)

... Sure, it's a little lengthy, but considering I'm going to buy about half of this stuff myself with my own money, WHAT COULD GO WRONG?!?!?!

Kit and Ruthie MIGHT be retired this year, and THAT would screw up my AG buying plans.

~Mr. W

Sad. :(

You know that feeling you get when you do something you love, and it brings joy to your hearts? Most likely that feeling when you play with(or "pose") your AG dolls? Well, I've been feeling like my dolls and I are becoming "disconnected". I just don't feel like they bring happiness to me anymore. And no, I haven't been feeling this way towards my dolls for a long time, it's just been this last week.

Now. What REALLY worries me about my dilemma, is that this is the same way I felt when I stopped playing with Littlest Pet Shop when I was ten(it was my favourite toy, okay?!) So, yeah, I'm really scared about what I might do with my dolls. I don't feel like getting any new ones, or getting them new clothes, or even just picking them up!

Have any of you felt this way before? And, if you did, COMMENT AND TELL ME HOW YOU DEALT WITH THIS!!!

~Miranda

Photo stories! :D

Even after my Picasa "tragedy" yestereday, I decided to start only posting pictures to Picasa, so I recommend checking it every week or so. Or just follow me. I'm not picky. :D I've decided that I needed to start posting pictures to my Picasa, and when I F I N A L L Y do that, I screw up my blog, so I now am just going to say it's the "End of an Era." Okay? So, yeah.

Anyway, the story I posted yesterday WILL be finished being posted, and I will post a few pics. every day. Maybe.

Oh, and I'm going to start making doll characters, so you can expect to read about dolls that I made characters for. :D

Other than that, I'm pretty much done.

~Miranda

A bunch of whoas.

Okay. Well, now that I FINALLY have some free time with my newly arrived spring break, and being alone in the house for a while, I decided to catch you people up! So. On Tuesday, my AG stuff came!(I ordered AG stuff on Thursday) :D I got Kanani's collection, Willow(for my B-day, though. :( ) the chocolate gasses, birthstone earrings, the photographer outfit, Chocolate Chip, Kanani's PJ's,(which is for my birthday,) but her chair and the MAG travel set are back ordered. So, I have been ecstatic. Oh, and the Friday BEFORE I got my HUGE package, my mom gave me Lanie's pajamas, and her whole nature set and outfit. I'll show pics on my other blog later. I read my little Math story to a bunch of fourth graders on Friday, and It was alright. I had to ask them what Pi times 2.25 was, not because I didn't know what it was, but because I had to see if they knew how to solve for a circle's circumference. I went to a BUNCH of stores yesterday, and I was T.I.R.E.D. This included an exotic bird store my relative wanted to visit, because that's what her business revolves around. They had a Hyacinth Macaw at the store! :o Other than my usual laziness, I haven't done... WAIT! Yesterday morning at 8:08 A.M., I had to perform in a room with my ensemble, which meant I had to wake up at 5:40. :( Other than me(one of four flutes) and one of the three clarinet players, we SUCKED. Everybody else SUCKED. But, that's mean... :( That's really it this time. NOTHING else... WAIT! My relative and I cleaned my bedroom, so now Kanani has a bedroom! :D Okay, now that is SERIOUSLY it! :) What have YOU done in my absence? ~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... :) ...)

~Miranda

Okay. No pictures

I DID take pictures, but I decided NOT to put them on my blog. Oh, and for the record, I will NOT stop playing with my dolls to leave them in my closet. I just won't buy anymore after Kanani, that's all. :) It feels nice to clear that up. Well, all my dolls blogs have one more follower, that has a nice feeling. Oh, and I may not post much this week due to the fact that I don't really feel like posting much recently, and my blog will be closed down for renovations. It will look ENTIRELY different; you may not even recognize it!!! :D

~Miranda

Oh, and I had bacon for breakfast today! YAY! BACON!!! :D

Update on Kanani!

If I don't spend ANY money this year, I CAN AFFORD ALL OF KANANI'S STUFF!!! Well, except for her meet dress for girls, and the slippers for the pajama's, but I CAN AFFORD EVERYTHING I WANT! YAY!!! All I need is ONE more babysitting job! I'll probably make, ... $110 in three or four jobs, so, I KNOW will get about five jobs or so! I will order Kanani's starter collection when I can afford it in March or April, I AM HAPPY! I will get five dolls this year, and all of Kanani's stuff! EVERYTHING. Her luau dress, aloha outfit, the doll, everything else, even the shave ice stand! I AM BURSTING WITH JOY!!! I'm getting Molly and Emily's Beat friend collection for Christmas or my birthday, and I'm also getting Kit and Ruthie's best friend collection for my birthday or Christmas! I don't know which is retiring this year, so I'm getting both! With my babysitting money, I will buy some outfits for Kit and Molly. YES! I AM FILLED WITH BLISS!!!!!!!!!! :)/:D/;)/:0

I'm SUCH a smiley fanatic!!!

Should I change my blog title? I think I will. In fact, I am going to RIGHT after this post! Oh, and I have over 1,500 page views! I am happier. If that's even possible!

ACCKK!!!

DOLL PRICES ARE RISING!!! One doll WITHOUT accessories is now $100!!! YOU ARE KIDDING ME! I'm still going to get Kanani for my birthday, specifically her starter collection, I actually plan to get her, Molly, Emily, Ruthie, and Kit this year. I don't know if Molly or Kit is being retired this year, so I'm getting both! Man, FIVE DOLLS in one year! I need to get all the money I can get! I already have a plan: I get Kanani for my birthday, I buy Molly and Emily, and for Christmas, I get Kit and Ruthie! IT'S GENIUS! That means I'll have... FOURTEEN DOLLS BY THE END OF 2011! This will be THE BEST year EVER!!! Of course, I'm in debt to my parents, so... I won't get allowance until next Saturday... I'm ALREADY behind! It sucks. Well, Happy New Year, and Happy New Year for getting new dolls!!! :)

Goodbye, Lanie Holland. Let your prices rise on eBay. Oh, one more thing. Go on American Girl and look at Kanani! SHE'S THE MOST BEAUTIFUL DOLL I HAVE EVER SEEN! She has hair like mine, and I also have hazel eyes! She's a pretty doll.

Gwen, here!

I'm Hollie's sister! Yep! We look sort of alike, and we sing! We got to AGPPA, and we both share a quadruple bunk bed with Chrissa, Lily, and each other! Okay, so now the REAL reason I'm here! Do you think Sonali should get a blog? If so, comment! If not, I like your style! I'm the doll with beautiful hair, and I DESPISE Sonali! She shouldn't be such a gank! So, as I was say-
Miranda: GWEN! Help me clean YOUR room, so that I can pick up other AG stuff!!!
Gwen: NO! I'm blogging right now!
Miranda: oh, well, in that case, GET UP HERE YOU LAZY BEAN SACK! Wait, are you TYPING this conversation on MY blog?!?!?!
Gwen: Maybe, *Gulp*

Well, I better go, before she finds out, so BYE!
Miranda: Too late, Gwen!
ACCKK!!! /:(

My dolls Christmas party!

Okay, so, here's EVERYTHING I have to say. My dolls party will be on Friday, and everyone has pretty hair and outfits. Kirsten is baking like CRAZY, Gwen and Hollie are STILL arguing. Lily and Lanie are getting the room ready. Chrissa is pondering over which outfit to wear. Felicity and Elizabeth are grooming the horses. Sonali isn't going. :( Well, maybe it's not sad, because Sonali has no dress, and no friends. I'm doing okay. I have NOTHING to do but play Wii Play, and shake my presents. I already know what ALL of them are! Seriously. I have to know these things, I don't like surprises. My friends had to find out the hard way. :( Sorry. TWO more days until the party! YAY!!! :D/:)/:0/;)

A post by Hollie

Hello, readers of Miranda's blog! I went out to THREE places in the past forty-eight hours! I went to see Tangled today, and it was AWESOME! I was kind of upset, because THREE kids pointed to me and said,"look, mommy! It's a dolly!" YEAH, big woop. I LIVE with eight dolls, people! It was kind of embarrassing, too. I mean, six-year-olds pointed to a person who was twice their age, and commented about her doll.

I'm going to Lily's holiday party with Gwen! Yep, Gwen might not be Lily's favorite guest, but she's DEFINITELY better than Sonali! Just so you know, Lily's JEALOUS of ME! We're both twelve, so I don't see- oh. Wait a MINUTE! I'm getting ALL of Miranda's attention, and Lily normally gets it! That's probably why I'm doing a post, and why Lily didn't invite me to her Christmas party! Gwen is taking a guest, so... I can go! I will be sure to take pictures of Lily's party, but I don't have too many things to wear right now... I stole Chrissa's pants so I could leave the house today, so that PROVES that I have NO CLOTHES! (well, to me, I have no clothes...)

Here's a bio of me: My hair is red, but goes blond in the sunlight. My eyes are hazel. My favorite color is purple, my favorite shoes are the JLY. meet shoes. Miranda and I are wearing matching shirts. I play basketball. I LOVE snowflakes. I read a LOT! I love shoes, and clothes. I have at least twice as good of grades as Sonali, and I have a B! Miranda: WHY did you mention your grades to the world?
Hollie: I was bored!
Miranda: Well, mention your PET!
Okay! My pet is a porcupine named Scarlet. I'm friends with everyone. I am twelve. My little sister Gwen is ten. I have a top bunk, Gwen has the bottom. I may join the Inside a dolls mind blog. My full name is Hollie Annabeth Jacobs. Gwen and I fight every day. I slapped Gwen when I met her. I am blogging right now. I will NOT go on innerstarU. Well, maybe.

Well, that's everything I can ramble on about today! Goodbye!!! ;)

FINALLY!!!

First of all, I got my doll today! I've decided to name her Hollie, and one more thing. If this 'Antimalware doctor protection center' thing pops up when you open the internet, close it. It's a hoax. A scam. They TOLD me someone was HACKING into my computer, and NOBODY WAS! I wrote an ANGRY entry in my diary(that entry contains the f-bomb in there about twenty times!) I HATE scams! Well, who doesn't? I couldn't blog ALL DAY because of a SCAM!!! UGGGHHHH!!!! >:( I want to get a knife(even though I won't...) and I think you know the rest! If you think I will cut an object of food, you're wrong! OH. MY JELLY! IT POPPED UP AGAIN!!!! I swear, me+knife=NO MORE SCAM! SERIOUSLY! WHAT THE FRIDGE IS WRONG WITH THE WORLD!!!! Sorry. I'm just REALLY p'oed. You would be too! Imagine this; somebody said,"I'm sorry. But you can't do your favorite thing right now, because we don't want you to." Not too fun, is it? I am REALLY sorry. Am I TYPING this?!?!?! Oh, and search images of Kanani online. SHE IS GORGEOUS!!! I am SERIOUSLY going to but her!!! Also, happy (number that shall not be named) birthday, Phoebe!!! :)/:D/:0/;) One more thing, I have started yoga. I LOVE it!!! My dad got my mom a comical yoga book, (yep, even though it's PHYSICALLY impossible for her, he still got it!) and I tried it. My mom used to do yoga, so that's PROBABLY why he got it... Have you tried it? I would recommend getting the Bony Yoga book. It's FUNNY! Also, yoga makes you feel less stressed! Yes, I was very mad, then I did yoga, and I was as mad as I was above! You don't know how mad I was before I did my yoga. Just so you know, please dis-regard this post. I was in a rant, so..... yeah, that's it!!! :) Actually, tell your parents if you see that pop-up I mentioned. ;)

Update time!

We have 4.5 inches of snow, we're on Christmas break, Christmas is next week, and today, oh, I know what today is! My mom's birthday!!! :) She's turning 52, and we had cheesecake for dessert! Also, she got the office Christmas D.V.D. (I IMMEDIATELY thought of Phoebe) She also got fudge, bath stuff, and an ornament. the ornament is BEAUTIFUL! It is made out of a REAL maple leaf, but it won't break because it's been sprayed with copper.

I finished the piecing in my quilt! I need to iron the strips, and then I can sew the strips together. By Christmas, it WILL be finished!!! ;)

I have nothing else that's more interesting to say about MY life, but I have some doll news.

I put Sonali's, Lanie's, and Lily's gifts under the tree today. Lanie's getting a chocolate calculator, Sonali's getting a cat book, and Lily is getting the present from the ruby dress accessories. I have put up the tree officially, and I plan on decorating more tonight. I have found doll-sized bows, but my brother got them from his teacher, so I don't know where to get them. I would recommend looking at target, Michaels, or Walmart. Well, toodles!!! :)/:D/:0/;)

Another one?

I got ANOTHER SNOW DAY TODAY!!! THANK YOU!!! I REALLY didn't want to go to school today, i wanted to work on my quilt! Also, yesterday, I made Phoebe her birthday present, and It doesn't look bad! It's actually REALLY cute! Phoebe, I think you'll like it! No more spoilers! I'll share what it is with the rest of the world, AFTER I get home from her sleepover! and now, to entirely change the subject...

I want Nanaimo bars. Do you know what they are? They're the BEST square-ular treats from Canada, EVER!!! They have coconut, custard, and chocolate! I would recommend finding a recipe for them on the Internet.

I've been TRYING to make a good doll-sized Christmas, and I'm not sure how well it's going... Chrissa has been in two photo shoots, Lily is getting ready to host her Christmas party, Lanie is putting up decorations, Kirsten is 'baking', Sonali learned the true meaning of friendship, Felicity and Elizabeth are prepping the horses, and Gwen is readying her voice to sing at Lily's party. (I'm a GREAT singer, so I occasionally make my dolls 'sing') I have been reading blogs all morning, and I found out MORE about Kanini! Her hair is the same color as mine, AND we both have curly/wavy hair! Except, I have bangs... and my skin isn't tan... But alas, I plan on buying her next year! Which doll will retire next? That, I'm worried about, because here are the dolls I want next year: Molly, Emily, Kit, Ruthie, Julie, Ivy, Kaya, Rebbecca, Jesse, and some more Jly's. Comment on which of these doll I should get first! I personally think I should get Molly and Emily, and Kit and Ruthie. They have been around the longest, so they're less safe.


P.S. Maria won't SHIP until tomorrow! I won't get her for, like, A WEKK!!!!!! UGGH!!! >:(

Yea! In some ways...

I have a bunch of projects coming up, so I may not post 'til Friday night, and even then I have a big Social Studies project due next week, Soo... you may NOT , I repeat NOT, hear from me until next week is over! Why are ALL the school projects due in December? Do teachers not believe in the holidays? WHY?!?!?! I seriously don't know why, so if you do, PLEASE comment!!! :) Also, I've developed a personality for Maria! She plays basketball, is almost thirteen, her birthday is March 15, and her friends are lily and Chrissa(her new roommate is Chrissa, too! ) Her pet will be Coconut(I want her for my birthday next year) Do you think that Maria should have a blog, too? Ah, well, I'll make one for her anyways. Only my favorite dolls will have blogs, and those dolls are: Lily, Lanie, Chrissa, Maria, Felicity, and possibly Kirsten and her sisters, Gwen and Elizabeth... But not Sonali, DEFINITELY NOT Sonali! Sonali would expose ALL of my dolls, and it wouldn't be a pretty sight... So, for now................................................................................................................................................... PEACE OUT!!! :)


P.S. Which doll should I get next? Ruthie, Rebecca, Molly, Jesse, Emily, Kit, Kaya, Kanini, or Julie? I want any of those historicals, and the one JLY(I still call them that)
