I doubt many of you watch me for my prose. In fact I doubt many of you are even watching my journal entries. I never post any anymore anyway, lol.

But I'm writing this more as a reminder for myself.

My story 'The Phantom' has come a long way in my head and I'm going to be rewriting most of it (the first few chapters I may only edit to my liking, but we'll see). Many things are going to change, but most of it is the stuff that I hadn't gotten around to posting yet. The last chapter I posted is going to be scrapped completely and it's going to go in a very different direction from then on.

There will be more detail and more characters.

GAH how I've missed Edwin Godfrey. I'll be bringing him back to life very soon~

Who was your first doll? Do you still own him, her, or it?
August was. He's a modded Leekeworld Mihael. And yessss. In fact he's sitting here right beside me as I type this.

Who is your favorite doll?
Don't ask me thattt! I think I have more bonding to August's doll, but more to Zander's character since I've been writing about him for so long. I seriously have no idea.

Which doll do you hope or plan to buy next?
Either and Iplehouse Arvid, or a Raurencio Stella, for Zander's story. She's perfect for his main love interest in the story.

Quick! You've instantly got $800 and must choose a doll to spend it on right now or it's gone forever! Who do you pick?
Probably one of the above. I don't really have a grail doll other than those or the ones I own. Sooo...

Quick! You've instantly got enough money for any one and must choose a doll to spend it on right now or it's gone forever, but this time you have to buy the doll for someone else! Who gets the dolly, and what do you get them?
I would get my friend Mac the doll that looks like her character June, because she's really the only friend I have interested in the hobby, and she really needs a doll of her own! D;

Are you currently waiting on any dolls, heads, or bodies?
Yep. I ordered from 5stardoll during the event. And I'll be getting (possibly tomorrow!) their Angelo (SD) and Quintus (tiny) along with a Tong Tong head to share with the tiny body.

Do any of your dolls seem to like you to the point that they are infatuated with you?
I dunno. August has always been a bit stubborn in nature, and Zander is too manly to be 'infatuated'.

Do any of your dolls seem to dislike or even hate you?
Naw. I said August is stubborn, but I can be stubborn to those I love as well.

Who's your most expensive doll at the time you purchased them, not counting items you bought separately for them?
Surprisingly, August was more expensive than Zander. Who is massive and grey skin. They're both secondhand, which has something to do with it, but Zander's seller was just amazing.

Who's the least expensive doll you own?
When I get my 5stardolls it will be them. And they're straight from the site too. Never thought I'd fall in love with a 'cheap' doll. But to each their own. I think he's gorgeous.

Is there a limit to what you'd spend on a doll?
Oh man. I think, putting my want for an Iplehous EID into perspective, I would say a whole freaking lot. But if I didn't LOVE the doll and it was, let's say, over $700, I don't think I'd go through with it. I probably wouldn't go through with it even if it were less than that.

Which doll did you wait for the longest for so far?
The dolls I ordered that are shipping to me right now! I ordered them on Dec. 12th. They shipped on Feb. 28.

Which doll had the shortest wait so far?
Zander by far. His seller got him out fast!

Who's the biggest doll you own?
Zanderrrrr. 70cm tall and ALL LEGS.

Who's the smallest doll you own?
It'll be my new tiny coming in (that I'm sharing with two heads). I'm not sure how well it's gonna go over. I've only ever had SDs and larger.

Got any floating heads? If yes, how likely are they to receive bodies anytime soon?
I will soon. And as I said, it'll be sharing a body for a while.

Got any floating bodies?
Nooope.

Do you have any extra, unclaimed pairs of eyes? How many if so?
Yep. Two pairs.

Do you have any extra, unclaimed wigs? How many if so?
Oh god. Uh. Four or five I think?

Anything you've said "never" to in the hobby that you later gave in to?
Hmm. Not yet. Lol

Do you own dolls that aren't BJDs?
Yes. I have four porcelain dolls and my hot toys Ezio Auditore action figure.

What was your last doll-related purchase?
I think it was my eyes... Not sure though. Lol

What do you expect your next doll-related purchase to be?
Probably clothes of some sort.

What was the last doll-related thing to arrive to you by mail?
My eyesss.

What was the last doll-related thing you purchased in person?
Hmm. Probably some dolly pants that looked like they'd fit August.

Not counting floating heads, floating bodies, and anything on layaway (paid off dolls count), how many complete dolls do you own?
None. Lol You'd think I'd try to complete them before I bought any more. But meh. Well, I guess August is really kind of all over the place. So he could be classified as complete. But I dunno.

He's absolutely perfect~

Someone on the DoA marketplace is selling their Souldoll Chiron for a really decent price. They're the second owner of him, but that doesn't turn me off him in the least. He looks very well looked after and the seller has a fantastic reputation. He's also in grey skin, which he site isn't even offering anymore for him on the page.
He'll be about half the price as he would be brand new.
And he's kind of my dream doll, if anyone remembers, I was wanting to buy him for a long while because he looks scarily like my character Zander: fav.me/d30miqq
Only thing is he doesn't have elf ears, but I knew that from the start. Maybe one day I'll get the balls to mod him. That is if nothing weird happens and they can't sell him to me for some reason.

It's so weird to go from one doll that I've had for over a year, to five in only a few months.

This is pretty delayed, but people don't usually read my journals on here anyway, haha.

So I was just looking around some sites and I came to this fairly new one called 5stardoll. I saw their Angelo and I just fell in love right then and there. The site is only a couple years old and their dolls are fairly cheep, but I looked up reviews and people were really happy with them. So, since they were having this epic winter event where if you spent over $300, you got a free tiny and a free head (which is cool, cause I've never had a tiny before) I made an impulse buy.

I bought the Angelo in white skin: www.5stardoll.com/Angelo-P367.…
And for my free tiny, I got Quintus on a girl body with yellow skin (Not sure if the quintus character is going to be male or female, but the other head's character is female): www.5stardoll.com/Quintus-P162…
And for the free head, I got the tiny Tong Tong head, also in yellow so I can share the tiny body between them: www.5stardoll.com/TongTong-P67…

And since when I bought Angelo, I was about $10 away from the $300 mark, I just bought both of the tinies wigs, since Angelo would come with a free one. So I basically bought the tinies stuff in order to get them.

This all happened on December 12.

Then just today, I bought some stuff for Angelo from a seller on ebay.
This wig: i.ebayimg.com/00/%24%28KGrHqMO…
And this shirt: i.ebayimg.com/00/s/NTAwWDMzMw=…

I love how the short hair will look with his elf ears and feminine face.

I also got the shirt because I want him to look medieval-like to suit the story I'm coming up with, and it looked like it could do the job until I find something better.

Also, I'm thinking about naming him Lukas. (I'll play around with the spelling to see what I like.)
Tell me what you think if you read this, because I'm curious.

As for the tinies, I have no idea what to name them. But they're going to be in his same story.

(Poor August. He hardly has his own story. His fault for being so stubborn.)
