Oh joy.

Whoopee. *sarcasm implied*

Well, I know that I shouldn't clog up my blog with weird/negative/uninteresting posts all of the time, but I think today would be a nice exception; and I have a very good reasons.

Gone.

Not just gone, as in it'll come back someday, but gone. And, what exactly is gone, you're probably wondering?

All the files and pictures and favourite sites and the updated Internet explorer and games and everything else that was on my computer. T^T (Not to mention a Language Arts assignment that I was going to turn in tomorrow (even though it was due last week! (^_^;)" )that I kept forgetting to print.)

Yep, my life sucks.

I'm like, even sadder than I would normally be if this happened because some things that were deleted I had spent five years working on, and you know what happened to those things?

Gone.

And, for all the sites I had put into my favorites section because I probably wouldn't find them again?

Gone.

The "new" version of Internet explorer I initially hated but came to get used to?

Gone. (But I can redownload that.)

Picasa web albums and all the pictures I saved; some of which are of my now deceased pets and I can never retake?

Gone.

I'm going through a pretty big crisis right now, because I like, actually really needed this computer, so... yeah, I'm screwed. Like, more screwed than I thought I was last August when I unknowingly delted most of the pictures I had ever put on my blog.

Man... I'm sooo tiiired today... I'm not really sure why, though.

Lately I've been feeling like a HORRIBLE doll person because I've hardly touched my dolls or camera in the past month. DX It's just pitiful of me. And I've been like, fangirly(although I do hate that term...) obsessing over things! Mostly any anime I watch, but whatever. It also applies to Spider Solitaire. I've gotten INSANELY amazing at it, and I'm pretty proud of myself. :) I mean, I got a winning streak of 75 games. .__. That's like, AMAZING for me! X)

Well, I am, however, going to be paid this Saturday, so I won't be stuck with only $4 and however many quarters I found in my money dish in my room! ^_^ Which MEANS i will be able to afford things such as...

A new wig for Yumie, my Pullip, because I accidentally brushed hers(which is REALLY bad, but I had forgotten that.) so now it sucks. :(
A Blythe doll wig for Kanani, because... something... happened to hers... >.<
Some pocket watch necklaces, because I L-O-V-E pocket watches!!! X3
If I have money left over, probably something Hetalia related... ;D

Well, now you know the inner-workings of the mind of moi. ;)

RANDOM FACT!!!

I kind of want to learn Finnish next year in ninth grade if it's a possible course to take.

Or German, but we already "have" books on that, and I have a French book, so I've been teaching myself that... mwahahaha...

... Do you think I'm weird? I wouldn't mind if you said yes, no, or entirely ignored this odd question. ;)

~Miranda

Merry Christmas everyone! :D

Have you guys been enjoying today so far? I know I have! :D

I WOULD have taken pictures of my new dolls(NOT AG dolls), but I couldn't find my camera! :( BUT... since I CAN tell you about them, and you can Google image them if you REALLY want to know what they look like, I got Akoya(a Pullip) and Arashi(a Taeyang). They're both ninjas, and I was LITERALLY spazzing out last night about them! :D Sadly, when I was taking Arashi out of his box, his foot like, BROKE, but it's okay... I've got a plan to fix it... d:

I also got two new AG outfits! One is this A-D-O-R-A-B-L-E dress, and the other is this hard to describe outfit! On top of that, I got an accessory set, and it basically has a newsboy hat, ipod(with headphones), purse, belt, and a scarf. The hat is REALLY cute, and I think it's not my favourite thing ever. ;D

My dad gave me a how to draw Manga book, and some special markers for doing so!

I got some other stuff(and enough choclate to last me several days, since that's probably all I will consume! XD) but it's kind of minor, and I'll probably bore you even more than I already have if I tell you about it! XD I tend to ramble a lot...

Well, Happy Holidays everyone! :D I hope you guys got what you wanted for Christmas! ;)

~Miranda

Ugh.... :(

I haven't gone to school today or yesterday... I have a virus with symptoms REALLY close to the flu, but it's not. I'm probably not going to school for the rest of the week, either, because I have a REALLY high fever(It was 104.1 degrees Fahrenheit when I woke up this morning...), and other "bleh" feelings... :'( I'm probably going to have TONS of homework when I come back to school on Monday, but my mom is going to pick up some of my homework tomorrow so it won't be so bad...

I'm going to go have another nap... d:

~Miranda

Oh my gosh.

First of all, have you guys read that Coconut's being retired? I read that, and I was SHOCKED. I'm not ENTIRELY sure if that's true or not, so don't freak out.

Second of all, I got TWO trench coats yesterday, so now I'm SUPERDUPERHAPPYIT'SNOTEVENFUNNY! And, today, my new shoes came! :D :D :D Also, I ordered a doll I WILL turn into Kylie! n_n Superspaztasticallyhappy.

I just wanted to let you wonderful followers of me know that. That, AND if I don't post in a few days I feel like I'm deserting everything. Maybe I should post less...

~Miranda

My doll "plans"

Subject to change, of course! ;)

Okay. So, for now, my plans for my dolls(and other "needs" of mine) are THIS:

1. GET A KYLIE!!!(Her wig came today, along with her converse, so I NEED to get a doll!)

2. Get new headphones. The cord ripped, and now the wires are showing. D:

3. BUY JESSE. HOLLIE NEEDS HER MORE THAN I DO.

... What do you think? I "NEED" everything listed here, but as for Kylie...

Hey. If YOU have a blue eyed AG doll that needs SOME work... Just Kiddin'! XD

Although, she IS the first thing I need... But, she's the only ACTUAL need on the list, because her wig and two pairs of converse came today, so I have everything BUT the doll herself! :,(

Oh, and before I forget to mention it, I started a YouTube series, but who knows if I'll EVER go through with it enough to finish making it! I still HAVE the video clips from my first "official" series, "The Young Starlet", but this one's better. It's something REALLY different, and I THINK you'll like it. It still stars Gwen(or, Lauren, in both the series.) but there's a SMALL conspiracy going on, so it's more interesting.

Now... before I "give-away" anything more...

I NEED TO GO DO MY HOMWORK!!! D:

~Miranda

200TH POST!!!!! :D

I don't think I need to explain!

HAPPY 200TH POST!!!!

Sorry, this kind of snuck up on me, and I just wanted to do a REGULAR post, but... Sorry, nothing too special. :(

BUT I DO have some HUMONGOUS news that will probably make two or three of you comment! :D

First off, I'm already saving up for Jesse, who will be Hollie's BFF, as I have planned for a year now. Last August, I had a really hard time from the moment I thought of Jesse and Hollie of which one to get first. I decided I would get Jesse, but then I had my heart set on Hollie... :( So, all that aside, I am almost one quarter of the way to my lovely rebel doll!

I NEED to get Jesse ASAP, because she and Hollie are the lead stars in my next big photo story. Oh, and they run a lemonade stand, but it's actually better than I made it sound! :D

Next, I've been feeling homesick for Maine(I lived there when I was a little kid) so I'm probably going to have a Christmas photo story this month, maybe next moth if I have time(I DO have to go to school in a couple weeks! :( )

I'm going to build Willow a study room in our library someday soon, so you'll be seeing the better/happier side of her when it's built.

I was tagged by Phoebe about a week or so ago(Sorry I didn't get to this earlier, but Blogger wouldn't let me blog from my iPod while I was on vacation. :( ) SOOO... I'm wearing a sea foam green and white striped pajama shirt, my transparent blue watch, and my grey knit pajama shorts. None too special. The summer usual for moi. And, I tag... Whoever wants to do a tag!!! :D

I plan on making doll jewelry... Other than those many things... that's about it. I'm pretty sure this is the most B-O-R-I-N-G 200th post EVER!

...

...

...

SO... What'd you think?

~Miranda

Happy July! :D

It's July, and I have HUGE plans for it! If you looked at my YouTube last night or today do far, you probably saw my new video, which means you know that every weekend except for this one and maybe the next, I will release a new episode of my series! :D This will go on until WMM entirely crashes(It freezes every minute or two, if I'm lucky :( ) or I run out of ideas! I don't have an idea of how many episodes there will be, or even if anyone will watch it, but mind you, this is my first series, so I'm still learning! :) Oh, and just as an FYI on my doll situation, I have as of today, $16! I'll probably have $25 more by tomorrow, because of a sewing project my dad offered me(please, it's complicated, so don't ask). :) Maybe $15 more, because I plan on washing three of my parent's cars today. I'm SERIOUSLY trying to earn money, people! I appreciate ALL money making ideas, and I MIGHT just monetize my blog to earn money(let blogger put ads. up.), but I don't know... I really don't know WHAT to do! I guess I'll ask my dad(even though he's not in favor of me buying another doll! >:( ), because that's what my mom told me to do for her advice...

~Miranda

A new doll!

I GOT WILLOW YESTERDAY!!! :D Here's the link so you can see the photo story... CHECK IT OUT! It's actually really funny... :)

~Miranda

My birthday is soon. :)

As probably two or three of you know, my birthday is soon! :D It's on June 23, and I'll be thriteen! :) (I'm getting Willow in >three weeks! :D )So... I was wondering that since I'm ALMOST at thirty followers for this blog, maybe 35 would be nice? It's almost been a year since I started blogging, and I still kind of want to have the word spread around. I'm not asking for a thousand followers or anything, just, you know, six more. More would be nice, but before June 23 I would kind of hope to have around 35. I won't freak out and shut down my blog if you disregard this, I just kind of feel like It's been a while, and I thought it would be kind of nice to have thirty-five followers on my blogger dashboard when I come back from vacation at the very end of June.

BUT... that aside... I was pretty sure I would have a party with friends and ice cream cake... mmm...(I'm "mmm-ing" the cake, I'm not cannibal!)

Okay, I feel really self-centered right now... you can forget about me, I won't mind, I'm just saying It would be cool.

~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

OMJ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OH MY GOSH!!!!!!!!!!! MY CAMERA!!!!!! HERE!!!!!! IT'S WICKED AWESOME!!!! It's blue, pretty, HUGE screen, flash on/off, AMAZING!!! I CAN'T NOT SPEAK IN CAPITAL LETTERS I'M SO FLIPPING HAPPY!!!! 14 Mega pixels of joy is how I would say it!!!!! :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

~Miranda(who is bouncing off the walls, and quivering with excitement. Literally.)

P.S. Thank you Kodak, thank you!

P.P.S. My first camera is the SAME brand that Ansel Adams' first camera was!!! The only difference is mine is the Easy Share, and he had a Box Brownie!!! :D:D:D:D:D:D

Life as I know it.

I will make some changes. Not to blogger, so you don't need to worry about that at ALL! :D I am making changes to my ROOM! I am going to make it look like a spring garden, so that means I will ONLY include the colours: sky blue, lime green, pale lavender, and sapphire blue. Basically, I won't be blogging for a while. I plan on getting a mini couch sometime soon(a wooden one with removable cushions that can only seat one or two people) and making some pretty cushions for it!
...
...
...
Some of you may not think I have a life, but I DO! I have ALWAYS been interested in home decor, so I plan on either make a decorating business on HGTV when I grow up,or being a photographer. So... I want to POSSIBLY help my parents clean the library out while my mom(hopefully) buys a kindle. That way, we can make the books in our library go, "bye-bye!" and clean up, too!
...
...
...
This is one of my "inspirational" posts, yes, it's true. But, I have high hopes of a clean room, with a more organized layout. The best part is, this doesn't cost a THING! I'm only excited because I have NOTHING to do, and I don't know what to take photographs of, so... I might as well clean my room(which I NEVER do, but I keep it semi-organized)

Well, I'm sorry I have bored you with my rambles and all, but I hope this made a looong, boring post to keep one occupied for roughly a month!!! :D

~Miranda

Never mind.

Forget it. I decided NOT to buy the doll, first of all because the price rose by like, ten dollars overnight, and second of all, I decided Samantha... wasn't exactly... my kind of doll. I personally prefer Kanani, with her golden brown knee length locks of hair, and hazel eyes... (Dreamy face...) I could ALWAYS buy a different doll to fix up, and I REALLY want Kanani! REALLY. REALLY. BADLY. I also just wanted Sonali's cousin to "calm her down." Sonali has been REALLY rowdy lately, with news of a doll coming and a camera and all. So-o, I will... yeah, I'm just rambling now, so... I will post some new pictures later!!! :D YAY! PICTURES! Later, mostly due to the fact that I have utterly bored myself. :(

~Miranda

IMPORTANT updates!!!

If you haven't noticed, I changed my blogs layout! That left column bothered me, but it's gone now!!! :D

Also, most of you know this already, but if you didn't know, I'll tell you!

I don't own a Samantha doll. D:

Yes, it's horrible, I know.

That's about to change.

I went to a WONDERFUL site called eBay, and in two days(right before the auction ends) I will be the proud owner of a 1986 Samantha doll!!! I can ONLY afford her because she needs TLC, and I decided I would like to fix up my fist doll! She has her ORIGINAL(Yes, from Pleasant company, in 1986) outfit, and her hair is frizzy! But, I will commit to fixing her up so I can have my TENTH doll!!! :D

~Miranda

P.S. Have YOU bought a doll ONLY to fix her up? If so, did you keep her, or sell her? I would LOVE to know!!! :D

ICE DAY!!! :D

This is NOT a snow, but it is and ICE DAY!!! EVERYTHING has a nice glaze of ice over it, and that is the ONLY reason why I haven't taken pictures yet! I plan to go out VERY soon, for I feel like it is my job(although it WON'T be until I'm, like, 20!) SO... I am quite content today, because I don't have to go to school today! which is ALWAYS satisfying! I am a little sad that I don't have my new camera yet, because I can't get as close to the icicles as I want to. :( The zoom on my parent's camera doesn't work well at ALL, and that leaves a little white spot where the pixels should be. :( Sadness. D:

~Miranda

P.S. I did NOT reach my goal of 2,000 page views before the end of January. :(

New camera!!! YAY!!!

I am HAPPY, because this week, I will get a CAMERA!!! It's a Kodak® 14 MP Easy Share Digital Camera With Bonus Case, and my dad is going to buy it for me, because he gets a discount with his membership card at Big Lots! YAY!!! It will be with my first camera, and it is AWESOME!!! I do not know WHEN I will receive it, but I DO know it will be this week!!! YAY! Better pictures on Blogger is less than a WEEK AWAY!!! :D

~Miranda

P.S. What type of camera do YOU have??? If you don't have one, tell me which one you want!!! :D Also, this is the L;AST day to help me get to 2000 page views before February! If you haven't looked at ALL my posts or pages, DO SO!!!

Trees!

Hello, followers of my blog! I will now show you some trees! If you didn't already know, I have ALWAYS loved trees! Taking pictures of them is just ONE of my many hobbies, but I just couldn't figure out how to work it so that my pictures look good! (You may have noticed my failed attempts in my snow day posts...( I even draw trees! I won artist of the month at my old school by drawing a tree, I got a pack of markers!!! :D So, I will now present my gallery of trees I took today!!! :) Enjoy! I forgot to mention, but the captions are what was going on in my head while I was pushing the shutter!

Oh my gosh, I think I will cry if I don't snap the shutter RIGHT NOW!!!

I like the intricate branches, how they're weaving through each other... :)

How bold, I will try to manage a picture of how I see it, but I know it won't be HALF as pretty as what I see...

Stunning, absolutely stunning...

Oh my goodness, I want to LIVE in this mini forest!!!! :D

Branches... again... I'll snap the shutter, and see how it turns out...

I HAVE to photograph this babbling brook! IT IS GORGEOUS!!!!!

This tree is very inspirational...

HEY! How did this turn out sideways?!?! It was taken UPSIDE DOWN!!!! Oh well, it still looks pretty...

Oh my gosh... I'm breath taken...

...

Look at all those branches! How old IS this tree???

It looks like a magic walkway!! I MUST SNAP SHUTTER!!!!!

OMG! If THAT looked like a magic walkway, then what would this be? It looks TEN times as pretty... to me, that is!

... No comment...

I like this shot, it looks pretty, and it looks like it was in layers... which it was... X D

How... intricate...

Hello, little branch!!! :D

Um... I SAID hi, you know...

I FLIPPING LOVE THIS SHOT!!! I will print it out and hang it in my room!!!

Stunning... absolutely stunning... it just looks like a bunch of lines, though!

Wow... I had NO idea I could make such simple trees look SO pretty!

Hello again, babbling brook! (I like saying that! Try saying it three or five times fast!!! :D)

Snow on the branches... bliss...

Do you see the branch in the top right corner? I don't like it, but it makes the shot!

THIS is a BEAUTIFUL tree! It's mother must be proud... XD

By the way, I DID cry because of the awesome power of these beautiful trees at the end... :.)

What do you think? If I put these pictures up on www.etsy.com, would you buy them? Because if you WOULD... then I MAY open up an etsy account!

~Miranda

Well, here's my school day...

Oh joy. I decided to FINALLY post about my life that ISN'T doll related! So, I would like to tell you about my school day!

So, first of all, I had to go to social studies. FIRST THING IN THE MORNING. That is TORTURE for someone like me! That means I have to wake up at seven o'clock to make it to my bus and all, and at 8:10, I have to do social studies. Which is, by the way, my LEAST favorite subject!

Next, I have science. Not the MOST exciting thing of the day, but it's way better than everything else! I had to use a dichotomous key to label creatures. Fun.
...
...
No, REALLY! It was FUN! :D

By now I have language arts with my two good friends Chloe and Hannah. Chloe is in all my 8 periods of the day, except for 6th. :( Hannah is in Language arts(which lasts two periods) and Jazz band with me. We all have lunch together. :D Language arts is BORING. I had to memorise ALL the prepositions, which I see NO point in doing, and then we had to write sentences out and label what part of the sentence they are. Joy.

Well, it's Jazz band(advanced band) now, and I get to play my flute! Out of like, fifty flutes that tried out, I was one of three flutists who made it! :D We played a lot. But the only downside is that there are three lunch times, and I used to have the first lunch of the day. Now, I have the LAST lunch, and I could hardly not starve until A-lunch!

So, of course, I just ate, and now I have to go to Gym. I HATE Gym, mostly because I'm a wimp. It didn't EXACTLY help that I have Hay Fever(kinda like asthma) and I had to run the pacer test today... I only made TWENTY. Twenty... I hate that number now... Because of the pacer test, I couldn't breath without my throat feel like it was going to explode, so I dropped out.
...
...
...
Yes, you don't need to tell me how not heroic I am. I LITERALLY almost passed out! I STILL can't breath right! It feels like I have a bad cold right now, even though I went to school today perfectly healthy!

I have band now. I know I already had band today, but that was JAZZ band, not AVERAGE band. So... it kind of sucks that way.

Math! Yea. I don't really remember anything significant in my first and last periods of the day, so... I guess this post is done, I think.

~Miranda

Other obsessions for today!

So, as most of you may know, I don't like to be popular, not that I am. I like to not go with or against "the flow" I go with whatever floats my boat. But, despite all this imperfect effort of mine, I still am obsessed with something popular! That small portion of me who wants to be normal, is officially obsessed with the song, "Hey, Soul Sister" by Train. Most of you either love this song, hate it, or haven't heard it. If you haven't heard it, go on YouTube(if you're allowed) and search hey soul sister official lyrics. It should have around thirty-one million views, and if it does, then click on it. I LOVE it!!! At least, not like the last post, this isn't a direct advertisement.

Remember, despite the fact that I'm not "normal" (UGH! I HATE THAT WORD!!) this is one of the few popular things I like. I also semi-like the song fireflies by owl city, but it's not like I have it on my ipod or anything!

My third and final obsession for the day is about the movie Jurassic Park! My older brother just recently found it in our movie cabinet, and I FLIPPED OUT! I had a spazz attack! I just re-saw it tonight, and I LOVED IT!!! Yes, I know it was released a month before my oldest brother was born in 1993-that would be June 11- and yes, that shows how much of a nerd I am! XD Well, even though I had practically NOTHING to post about, I will mention I have been wanting to listen to that song recently, and I watched Jurassic Park tonight, so I may as well tell you about it! :D

~Miranda

P.S. Hey, Soul Sister is my doll Lily's favourite song, and Fireflies is Lanie's favourite song!!! :D
