Excitement!

Yeah, since nobody even tried to guess what I was excited about last Wednesday, (T^T *sobs in emo corner*) I'll just tell you.

I GOT A FRICKING TYPEWRITER!!! :o

Status of my lifelong dream: ACHIEVED!!!

Yeah. Since a few of my Hetalia friends and I are weird and take being countries to the next level, I decided to type up a War Declaration and an official Alliance sheet! :D Now, you guys probably don't really care about it that much, but I take my (hilarious) historical anime VERY seriously, folks. ;)

I also typed up a few more papers of like, a "personal" diary or something along those lines, but I ouldn't really CALL it a diary, because it's pretty much just me spazzing out and being all, "OMG OMG OMG I'M ON A TYPEWRITER!!! X3 WHOA THE MARGIN IS SOOO TOTALLY AWESOME!!!" and stuff, so nothing people would really care about. XD

And, I ran out of the ink ribbon on Friday, so I ordered some more online. :P

Well, I KNOW you guys would probably want to see pictures, but I just... don't really want to. They take FOR-EVER to upload onto Blogger, and I haven't really been in the mood to take pictures lately. I would much rather spend(waste, as some would say) my time watching anime or spazzing about anime or thinking of some stuff I SHOULD do rather than watching anime.

So, to sum up this post, I got a typewriter, and I'm an anime nerd. Anything new with you guys?

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

Back to "normal"

Sorry if I scared you guys on my last post. XD I just NEEDED to talk to SOMEONE, because I just came back from vacation, and I pretty much locked myself in my room at the condo and played video games. It was just like home! XD

So, anyway, now I'm back to my disturbed self. I'm not obsessive and disturbed as much anymore, so that's always a good sign...

Umm... Well, that doesn't mean I haven't been watching any anime that I really love! ;D Right now I specifically love Hetalia. In case you guys like, actually care, it's basically where the stereotype for each country(i.e. Russia, Germany, Italy, America, Canada, England...) is portrayed as a person(so each stereotype IS the country that they show the stereotype for). And it takes place during World War 2, but it tells about each country's history, too.

Now, if you're like, "Hey, what the heck!?!? Why would you find THAT interesting?!" Well, you'll just have to watch it. But, mind you, it's rated MA, and you have to be over 18 to watch it on YouTube(don't ask how I watched it...) :( So that really sucks. But, if there's a will, there's a way, I suppose...

So, anyway, now for my personal rambling that only people who know the show(probably none of you) would understand! ;D

Well, unsurprisingly, my favourite chracter in Hetalia is Canada. He's a really minor character(I mean, Prussia has a bigger part than Canada! And he's not even a country anymore! *eye roll*) but he's still awesome. He has this ADORABLE polar bear with him all the time named Kumajiro, and sadly, he(Kumajiro) is always asking, "Who ARE you?". Of course, Canada can't remember Kumajiro's name, either(For the record, I can't remeber Kumajiro's name that well!), so he calls him "Kumakichi". You can tell they know each other soooo well...

Oh, and Canada and America look REALLY similar, so everyone mistakes him for America. Especially Cuba, who keeps on beating up Canada and calling him America. :( And whenever they show Canada in one of the World meetings or Allied forces meetings, he's kind of, like, invisible... He really doesn't have much to do with anything related to WW2, so it makes sense to me that he would be invisible. (Mind you, this is a stereotype, so don't complain if this bothers you!)

At school, my friends and I claim to be different countries(you can probably guess which one I am... but I was called Canada before I even WATCHED the show, so it's not like I had a choice. I even tried to change to America... but no. I couldn't.). So, we have quite a few countries right now, including; Canada(me), America, England/Britain, France, Russia, Italy, Southern Italy(Romano), Austria, Cuba, Japan, Sealand, Germany, Lichtenstein, and some others I can't remember right now. But, it's getting kind of big now, which means I have more countries/my friends asking, "Who are you?" *eye roll* But it's not that bad.

Well, if you made it this far, PLEASE comment and say, "I like tacos" so that I know people actually come here still. ^_^

~Miranda

Question! And a possible listing...

Well, as probably only Phoebe(from LoveThatDoll) knows, I'm going on vacation today! :) I'm really excited about it, but I do have a teensy poll to go with it...

I want you guys to guess which doll I'm going to take(or took, by the time you guys read this!)! The are options are:

Lily and Lanie

Kylie

Rebbecca(my Dal)

Yumie(my Pullip)

Gwen and Hollie

Willow and Lanie

Elizabeth and Felicity

Well, this may not SEEM to be a narrow question, but I have a total of fiteen dolls, so it's not easy to do! :(

I'll probably make a poll for it, but if I don't, just comment on this post. ;)

Also, as the title implies, there is something that I'm considering to sell. I haven't really played with her lately, and I've been wondering if I even care about her for a while now...

It's Chrissa. I love her hair, but there's not much to do with it for me.

I'm still trying to decide if I want to sell her, so PLEASE don't comment and be like, "I'll pay you $60 if you let me have her!" because I'll just get annoyed with comments like that, and you'll drop your chances of getting her from slim to slimmer.

So, uh... Which doll/doll pair do you think I took with me? I'll be back on Monday night, so I'll have the poll end on Monday, of course! ;D

~Miranda

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

New doll clothes! :D

Okay. I'm not sure if I told you guys this, but just to fill you in, on December 31, I ordered some AG stuff! :D What I bought was Kanani's party dress, the yoga outfit, and the Merry and Bright dress. So far, Willow's been wearing the Holiday dress, and it looks REALLY cute on her!(although I KNEW it would look good, because #33 was used to "show off" the dress in the product pictures. XD)

On another good note, I found my camera, so NOW I can FINALLY show some pictures again! :D But, I MIGHT continue my oath about no more pictures, but I'm not sure.

Oh! Would you like to hear my resolutions(and stuff I want to do/get) for 2012?

If you said yes, Yay! :D
If you said no, then... TOO BAD!!!

1. Read more
2. Get some more Manga
3. Buy a new video game(I rarely get new ones, you know. :( )
4. Actually TRY to get school projects done to the best of my ability(and turned in on time. ;D)
5. Start selling doll clothes on etsy
6. Lose just a LITTLE bit of weight(or, in my case, since I'm NOT exercising, eat a little bit healthier.)
7. Clean my room on the first or last day of every month
8. Post another YouTube video
9. Make Caitlin(at least)
10. Save up money more often so I can buy the BIG stuff I want to buy, and stop spending money on crap I won't use. ;D

Yup. That's the list. What do you think of it? PLEASE TELL ME!!!

Seriously, though. Nobody's commented in like, a month. :(

~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

Hey guys!

I have a challenge for myself. This challenge for me is whether or not I can go a whole day without laughing and/or smiling. I think it seems pretty reasonable, but it's also a LOT harder than you may think. Unless you're depressed(which I am NOT) it's pretty hard.

I'm not really sure why I'm trying not to laugh for a whole day, but it just kind of popped into my head, and I was like, "Yeah... YEAH! I could DO that!" But... THEN I thought of how many times I laugh and smile in a day... A lot.

I put a poll on my sidebar(vote soon! It ends tomorrow! D:) and I want to know what you guys think! ;D

~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

OMG OMG OMG!!!

Okay. So, a few days ago i ordered my doll in need of TLC, and I JUST got her in the mail, like ten minutes ago. And, after checking out the doll, I learned that I am NOW the proud owner of...

A PLEASANT COMPANY DOLL!!! :D A Kirsten, to be exact, but she has a bad haircut, she needs re-stringing, new stuffing, and her face paint is all worn off, but that's one of the reasons why 1 didn't just buy a NEW doll! So, YES, I WILL post a YouTube video of the pictures and everything, and for any of you future doll fixers that want to know how I do the stuff in the video(this WILL be a video, and I WILL post it, and I will slap myself in the face if I don't) I am using the guide to doll fixing(or something like that...) From:

www.justmagicdolls.com it's in the article section, and I HIGHLY recomend using it! I've ran through it a few times previously, and I know what to do, so be SURE to do that before working on your doll.

So, I will show you a before and after picture of Kylie(the doll I'm making) when I finish with her. :)

So, I have to get to work! ;)

~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 birthday!!!

Alright! Long story long(my version of long is two sentences), I tried to make a post from my iPod on my birthday, but it wouldn't let me type. :( SO... Now I'm here! I'm thirteen, and I went to Wisconsin, as only one or two of you probably knew... But all that aside, i got cheese, and I got candy, and I got Kanani's pj's, and because these were too big to be given to me EXACTLY on my birthday, so I got them a week ago, Willow and Kanani's lounge chair set. ;) Yay. :D

It just occurred to me, that unless you checked my Picasa with the link because that's the only way to get there, you haven't seen Willow! I'll give you some pictures, but I do recommend that you look at the photo story... XD

~Miranda

FIRST DAY OF SUMMER!!!

Three points. One: I got an Alto Sax. today, and I really suck... but then again, being a floutist, I've never used a reed before... Also, my cleaning... Thing got stuck, and I had to find a log pokey stick to get it out of the instrument... And when I FINALLY got the darn thing to work, I thought a duck was going to kill me! It was loud. :( I think I'm not traumatized...

Two: I'm leaving for vacation tomorrow! Where? ... I'm not telling, so I don't have a creeper that can find me... Not that I don't trust you lovely followers, just for privacy reasons...

Three: I'M TURNING THIRTEEN ON THURSDAY!!! I think this is the most important thing so far in my life, considering I(for some reason) told my mom that we ARE going to get cheese and candy on my birthday, because WHO doesn't like CHEESE AND CANDY!?!?! Other than Phoebe's doll Evey, who just doesn't like cheese... Why am I talking about cheese?!?! Oh yeah. Birthday cheese...

~Miranda(who is anticipating birthday cheese...)

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

Changes

My life in front of my television screen has literally bored me. I normally find joy and happiness in the video games I own, but I haven't been happy playing them recently. I decided to take a break from them, and MAN, I made a good decision! I feel rejuvinated. I feel this deep connection to nature forming with me as the weather warms up.

I no longer find myself being that lazy, careless person I was in January.

I feel more mature. I feel as though family, friends, and my future is the most important. I've been centering my attention around interior decorating, and I've even figured out what I'm to do with my life when I grow up.

I've been finding joy in just simply staring out my bedroom window, with my gaze happening upon foliage. My bed is right next to my bedroom window, and I literally stare at the sky at night. It just relaxes me.

I also find pleasure in writing down three things I LOVED about today in my happy journal that was (correction) $9.

I've really expandedmy happiness into many different forms, so that if one form is taken away, I will still be happy.

For my new changes, I've decided to NOT blog about my dolls on THIS blog anymore! For awhile they were LITERALLY taking over this blog! I love my dolls and all, but I'm growing up, too.

What has changed in your life since January? (And don't just tell me something like you got a new shirt or a new doll, make it relevant to your LIFE.)

~Miranda

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

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
