My birthday! X3

Yup, that was today! I'm now officially 14! :D

So, we really didn't do much for it today, but on Thursday I had three of my closest friends over for a sleepover. :3 (thanks again for coming, Phoebe! :D) Today I honestly just lazed around the house going to each of my game systems so I could get birthday presents in my Animal Crossing games. XD

I might as well tell you guys what I got, so...

1. A brand new pocket watch that is silver and you can see the mechanism inside and it's WICKED AWESOME!!! X3

2. A body pillow (from Phoebe)

3. A couple gift cards from my other friends

4. Some fancy soaps from England *fist pump*

5. A LOOTTT of doll-sized eraser "food"

6. Some perfume

7. A doll-sized casserole dish (that's ORANGE(Phoebe'll get this))

8. Maple flavoured cookies from Canada (*melts*)

9. A Hot Wheels Mini Cooper (that's my favourite car, btw)

10. A doll-sized globe, tote bag, and tea kettle/kitchen timer

And then my mom bought some fabric for me about a week ago and called it part of my birthday stuff... Oh, and then I got some regular $$$. ;3

Umm... Believe it or not, I was actually really sad today until just a couple hours ago (so, 10 PM). :( It was because nobody really noticed/remembered that today was my birthday (these things actually get to me) But, the reason why I became so happy was that we went out to see fireworks, and the place we were at had Wi-Fi, so I had the chance to drink Ice tea (my favourite drink), listen to Prussia sing Mein Gott (one of the Hetalia character songs- they're really awesome, btw! I recommend looking them up on YouTube), and watch Fireworks. :') I was so happy, that I actually (this part I find kind of embarrassing...) was crying a little when we got home...

Since It's REALLY late right now and I have yet to take pictures of my "loot", I'll probably be busy with my camera tomorrow, and I may post pictures of the stuff I got... You can hurt me if I don't. XD JK.

If you read this far, I give you a cookie! :3

To leave things, I'm going to update my "About Me" page (if it still exists. XD) and I'll leave a link to it sometime in the near future when I finish updating.

P.S. As a side note, I'm starting to save up for a Kindle Fire! :D But, I'm also going to probably sell Chrissa... Like, I've actually decided. I'll probably do a moving-away post for her, so you can sort of... "look forward" to a photo story... (._. )

Hi again. :(

I don't really know why, but I've been feeling kind of depressed lately. I straightened Chrissa's hair today, and she looks SOOO pretty, but I haven't had much more joy in my life other than that. My best friend and I haven't really had any REAL conversation in a while, so that just kind of makes me sad. And, I'm really stressed between practicing two instruments for an audition for two REALLY hard to get into bands, and ALSO balancing homework, not to mention finding some downtime. I'm just kind of overwhelmed and sad, I guess.

On top of this sadness, I'm usually thinking as deep as I can about the point in life. I just can't put my finger on it...

BUT, I can't have an ENTIRELY sad post, can I?!?! Well, I decided that I might start making some doll outfits to sell on etsy, so you might have that to look forward to(I JUST need some money for patterns and material.) I just had TONS of fun when I made a hoodie for Kylie the other day, and I'm pretty proud of myself. :D

Has there been any time in your life where you felt more sad then you have before?

~Miranda

Birthday Pie?!?!

This is a story post, so this means it's LONG!!! ;D Also, I let Lily post here, becuase she accidently typed the post on my blog, not hers!

"So, do you want your hair straightened, or curled?" Miranda asked Felicity.
"Curled! It HAS to look nice for tomorrow, and I've NEVER had it curled before"
"Okay! You'll have to wait for a while, though. I have a contract here saying I can't use hot tools on customers, so you have to wait for your hair to dry."
"Good thing I brought my AG magazines, then!!!"

A few dozen curlers and an hour later...

"There! All done! Do you like it?"

Felicity shook her head to bounce her curls around. They looked like they were made of red satin ribbon!

"OH MY GOSH! I LOVE IT!!!" She shrieked in excitement.
"AWESOME! I have to go set up the party now, so you can pay over here!"

Miranda led Felicity over to the counter after she got up. Felicity got out her purple clutch(it's a type of purse!) and took out a twenty dollar bill. The cash register dinged, and she strolled out of the salon.

"Ah... it's such a beautiful January morning! The air is crisp, it's snowing like mad, and tomorrow is my birthday!" She whispered to herself while spinning around in the snow.

I quickly caught up to her, after I got my hair curled, too, just to make it look a little bit better!

"Hey, Felicity! Aren't you EXCITED for the party?! Today is Hollie's official thirty-first day with us!"

"Of COURSE I'm excited for the party- wait! Don't you guys know what tomorrow is?"

"No, what is it?"
"MY THIRTEENTH BIRTHDAY!!!"
"Oh! That's tomorrow?! I thought it was NEXT Friday!"

She huffed and stormed off. I felt bad, because I'm the doll that plans parties and makes sure that birthdays and occasions don't overlap! I guess I failed.

Two hours later...

"Still no sign of Felicity?" Kirsten asked me.
"No, I haven't seen her since she stormed off!" I replied.

Gwen was out shopping with Hollie to keep her out of the house, Sonali made up a story to make Hollie not know it's a party, Elizabeth and Chrissa made the banners, and I handled the rest of the party with Lanie. Kirsten was baking Felicity a cake. Miranda was cleaning her room while we worked downstairs in the craft room.

According to Felicity, we had forgotten about her birthday.

That was not so. We ALL knew tomorrow was her birthday; in fact, I was the on that told everyone else what tomorrow was!

Time passes...

"How's your cake come- WHAT THE HECK IS THAT?!?!?!" I yelled.
"A pie! I couldn't find a cake recipe for Felicity's birthday tomorrow, so I made a raspberry pie!"
"You KNOW she hates raspberries!" I screamed.

I went to Wal-mart, and I bought Felicity a birthday cake. It has chocolate and vanilla cake with vanilla frosting; her fave!

But seriously; birthday PIE?!?!?

~Lily

Two hour delay :(

If it's a two hour delay, why can't they just make it a snow day? The school district is upsetting the natural order in life. You know, the one where: "if there's snow on the ground, it should be a snow day." Who DOESN'T agree with that?!?! If they don't agree, then... WHY?! Who DOESN'T like snow days?! Well, I need to get ready for school at around nine-ish. My bus picks me up at 9:50, though. Today, that is. It would normally be 7:50. Well, now I'm rambling... so... PEACE OUT!!! Oh, wait! I would just like to say that my dolls have a glee club at their school, and Gwen, Hollie, Lily, and Chrissa are in it. Kirsten is the leader. :D

News

All my dolls now go to the American Girls of the Past and Present Academy! YAY!

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/;)

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!!! >:(

Well, I just realized something...

HAPPY 80TH POST!!! I've only been blogging since July, and It's my 80TH POST!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OH. MY. JELLY. AWESOME!!! I want o say something very important now. It's about a very important issue. Bullying. Chrissa's going through it, I was going through it, and Beth Cole, one of the doll authors from a blog I follow, is also going through it. i will give my advice about this matter.

1. No matter how bad it gets, remember: you are who you are, and you can't change that.
2. You can't change them. Only change yourself. what I mean is if you are called ugly, or fat, imagine yourself as pretty, and slim. Your self-image will follow.
3. Don't worry about it! They have the problem, not you.
4. If your friends aren't here for you, make new friends.
5. Make jokes about the people who are bullying you IN YOUR HEAD! DON'T say them out loud. That will make the bully even more angry.
6. If they call you names, embrace it. If they call you a cow, say "moo" a lot, and show them you don't give a damn(sorry for the bad language)
7. Don't do physical damage to yourself. If you cut off all your hair, you're making everything worse.
8. Who CARES if they like you?!?!
9. Be the bigger person, and show them respect when you ask to stop. If they don't, tell them that later, they will regret it. And make sure they do. Don't ruin their lives entirely, though.
10. If you are being bullied, don't bully. You don't want someone to feel as bad as you do, do you?

If you need any more help, just comment!

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)

My FIRST photo story!!! :) :0

Chrissa had a fight with Sonali the previous day, and her friends/sisters had taken to her bed.

She woke with a yawn, and had begun to wipe the sleep out of her eyes.

She had realized that Lily Tazo was in her house, and Chrissa huddled up in a corner.

"GET OUT!" She screeched. Who would have guessed Lily was in her house!

"Good morning! Are you feeling better?"

"Yeah, but why are you here?"

"I spent the night to make sure you were feeling better!"

"HEY! CHRISSA! OPEN UP!"

"Hi Lanie!" Lily peered to see who was there.

"It's me!"

"Hey! Glad to see ya!"

"Hey, Lanie!"

"Hey Lily!" Lanie waved back.

"I brought you a present to get you in the Christmas spirit! It's also a get well soon present! :)"

Chrissa gasped. no one had EVER given her ANYTHING like this!

"Thank you SOOO much!" Chrissa squealed. They embraced happily.

It fits in perfectly with Chrissa's decor.

My dolls!

So, if you don't know, I have 8 dolls named Lily, Lanie, Felicity, Elizabeth, Kirsten, all of Chrissa's friends, and Chrissa. Well, Chrissa's life is going downhill, and she's been reduced to living in a cardboard box. Sonali went to innerstarU, but got kicked out after starting a food fight. She can never return. Lily is feeling like the doll at losing feelings. Except Lily hates innerstarU and is skipping classes to play with her dog Honey. Kirsten has a cooking show and stays up until 11:30 watching Good Eats on the food channel. Gwen has just recently found out her mom is the queen of Switzerland,(Not really, starting rumors are fun!) Elizabeth has started making dresses, and is trying to make cross-stitch patterns for me to sew. Felicity, well, Felicity is trying to nurse our adopted horse back to health. My first doll horse, Butter, had a foal and sprained her leg giving birth. Butter was also abused from her previous owner. Lanie has started to create a "Save the raccoons!" movement, and only Lily, her best friend, is coming along. So for now, ............PEACE OUT!!! :)

About my updated blog

OK, so you may or may not have been wondering about my new blog stuff, so I'll tell you about it. So, I got pretty much all my widgets from Shabby Blogs, the stuff that looks professional is from Shabbyblogs.com. So, tell me in my new poll what you think about my blog. Only my vote has shown up, so I can only assume only I have voted. Well,... I am extremely bored, so please don't expect me to write anything special in this post. I did find some doll school supplies, though. I can't take anymore pictures, so I feel lame. Well, for now,....... PEACE OUT!!! :)

Meet my dolls from beggining to end: doll 6, Gwen

Gwen
Favorite color: Pink
Best Friends: Kirsten and Chrissa
Pet: her pet is a little owl named Hooter
Fun Fact: Gwen used to own the town Furniture store:Beds and Tables, before it went out of business.

My post of RANDOMNESS or not...

OK, so you may be wondering, what's so random about this post. Well, I'll tell you. My doll school started LAST week, and so far, my dolls have set their own time for school, never. They have slept for a week except for Lanie, she's been up since last Monday. My dolls like the clocks, for the brief moment they were awake; but I don't know how awake they were. Chrissa started talking about raspberries, Sonali rambled on about hobos, Gwen, well, Gwen never woke up. I don't even know if she's still with us, oh wait, she just woke up. I don't know how long she'll be awake, since she said: "I want a chocolate flavored marker!!!" (I hope she's not serious,) I have a cold today, I'm not tired, but I have had a runny nose since yesterday at 8:00. Well, my plans with my dolls are to have a picnic with them, but I don't think I have enough food... oh well. Sonali and Chrissa can just eat dirt. Or confetti, I'm not picky. Well, Lily had her first imaginary soccer game today. She loves soccer, if you didn't know, but there is no one to play it with. I got an Our Generation horse foal last week. I am waiting to show the dolls their newest family member. Yea, this is a rambling post about things that are too small to have their own post. Well, that's all for now, and remember, always, ... I forgot. Oh yeah! Never throw away bacon, unless it's unsanitary.

Money

Ok, so here it is. Money is the topic. Don't is the answer. If you want to have a filthy rich doll, and a broke doll, then money's great! But if you just want everyone to treat each other the way they want to be treated, it's easier with no money. Of course, it may work for some people, people with fully functional doll towns, like at www.ourdolls.net, I think... So. Lanie's a dictator, Chrissa's Cafe is going under, and Sonali's hair looks unreal. Well, she does own Sonali's Salon, so of course she's going to have unreal hair. Lanie doesn't need to pay for anything, since she owns everyone and their shops, no one pays at Chrissa's Cafe, Gwen is out of furniture to sell, and Lanie's scheme is to collect taxes, which is her job, and KEEP it!!! Lily owns the, wait, Lily runs the Deerfield Library, and should be paid with some taxes, but isn't since Lanie just lends her money, since they're BFF's. So, there's two more shops. La Robe shoppe. Elizabeth is the only one running the shop, Felicity is the new teacher, and Kirsten's Konvienence/pet shop is just average.

Best Friends: Elizabeth and Gwen

Pet: Starburst

Fun Fact: Chrissa owns Chrissa's cafe in my doll town. She loves to have picnics, and she kicked Mia out for throwing cake.She expanded into Elizabeth's previous business place, and Elizabeth moved her store into my closet to expand. I love brushing Chrissa's hair.

10th post!!! :)

This is my tenth post! So, you have probably read that Elizabeth owns a shop, right? Well, Kirsten owns the convenience store across from Chrissa's Cafe. Kirsten's store also sells pets and stuufed animals for dolls. Chrissa's Cafe shares a wall with Elizabeth's store, La Robe Shoppe. Lanie is Elizabeth's apprentice and the only one that does any work. Lanie is also the landlord of the apartment building. Chrissa's Cafe is neighboring Sonali's Salon. There is one more store that isn't exactly connected to any of the other shops. Gwen's shop, La Lits et La Tables, Beds and Tables, shares a wall with the town center and Elizabeth's shop. I will have pictures soon. So for now, keep reading!!! :)
