You know, I hate doing this, but since I post my original writing progress here, I'm going to be locking the majority of my entries. If you'd like to read, you know the drill:

Who are you?
Where/how did you find me?
If I don't know you tell me a little bit about yourself
And for the fun of it, humor me, your favorite book

After I read through your note, I'll respond and let you know if I'm adding you or not, though you've got a 99.99% chance of a yes. ^^

<3!

Well, it’s that time of year again, time to begin preparing for the insanity that is AX.

First order of business, put in a request for time off starting evening on the 1st of July, and running through July 6th.

Second order of business, figure out who’s coming with me for this ride.

Third, make sure all ’papers’ are in order - ie. registration and hotel room.

As of right now, I think that’s all I need to take care of; as we get closer I’ll need to figure out food and clothes, and all the assorted bits that go with spending a week’s time in a hotel at a convention.

Watched most of the Super Bowl yesterday...not really my thing, but Carla invited me over after we got off work for some munchies and beer, then I went to the Lumley's for pizza and brownies.  So, by default, I watched most of the game.  Am heading out shopping shortly with Granma, have dinner with Da tonight, and dinner with Mum tomorrow - busy, busy, busy!

Tomorrow's my birthday
I've made it to another
More birthdays than I thought
Way back in high school
Guess it's a good thing

Well, Robin and Loki arrived today, putting my total count of resin kids up to eight....^^;;;  When I first saw a BJD I never thought I'd ever own more than one, much less eight and counting.  They were gorgeous, but I just couldn't see myself managing a family of the buggers.  *laughs* But it is true, that once you adopt one, you're going to keep bringing the kids home.

So, since DoA is currently down, I'm going to spam this journal with pictures of my new kids, and the whole family thus far.



Warning, dollie nudity behind the cut....consider yourself warned! ^.^

So, I may have forgotten to mention that I'd ordered a couple new dolls - one in November, who has yet to arrive; and one earlier this month.  This month's 'adoption' was a freakishly adorable Pukipuki Sugar from FairyLand - she arrived today....

Only one picture for now, I still have to reformat her arrival pictures....say hello to my little Mint Julep and her monstrosity of a wig!!

I'm just busy poking around the NaNo forums and the like right now - having a weekend off, but no where to go or people to see is quite the nothing. I wish I had a life sometimes, but hey, who's counting?

*does a wild dance* My first tiny's here! He came this morning - I totally wasn't expecting him to come today, since yesterday he'd just been received by customs in LA. I'm sooooo in love with him, so I'm going to spam you all with pictures - under a cut of course!


Except this one!! >^.^<

These are the top 106 books most often marked as "unread" by LibraryThing's users (as of today). As usual, bold what you have read, italicise what you started but couldn't finish, and strike through what you couldn't stand. The numbers after each one are the number of LT users who used the tag of that book.
