homecoming sucked tucas >_

homecoming 2maro!
i've been crazy downloading H!P photobooks to do some portraits with. i did one of Tsuji from her book Nono and that was nice. I did one of Eri from Maple but it came out wonky. BTW, i love that PB! it's shot in canada (huzzah!) the most beautiful place in the world. i swear i will move there!

i remember when i went to canada for vacation when i was 12. There were like bears on the side of the road! Rawr.

i ordered the 30 Days of Fashion Rement Set for when my blythes get here :)

i've been listening to nothing but Happiness Is A Warm Gun this week.

i watched The Invisible on Saturday. Pretty interesting.

28 Weeks Later on Sunday. i love gore-y horror films. Dawn of the Dead. The Hills Have Eyes. Alien. Silence of the Lambs. Art of the Devil. Saw. I especially like zombie-esque movies. The whole running mindlessly biting people thing is cool. Most horror movies are retarded but i still love them. Art of the Devil 2 was mindless gore. There was basically no plotline that was followed but awesome special effects. Thai horror films are crazy!
Warning! Nasty Gore Talk!
There was one scene where the evil lady paralyzed the boy with some drug so he couldn't move, but could still feel everything, poured boiling water down his throat, burned him with a torch, and scraped the burned skin off, then pulled out his teeth with pliars. CRAZY. There was a part in the first movie where a guy was curse and he choked up like 20 razor blades. Ew.
Nastiness Done.
It's weird that i love these nasty horror films because i'm such a happy cheery person. Kind of a polar opposite thing. Dunno.

Listening: Happiness Is A Warm Gun by the Beatles
Never Fall In Love by Emilie Simon

i cant wait till my Enchanted Petal Blythes get here. Rrrrr.
I'm also trading for a Vsmash.

I'm gonna be a cow for halloween. Mooooooo.

My friend Beau bought me a ferret cuz i was sad that Molly (my kitty) died, but dad wouldn't let me keep it. His name was Goose. -________-

I took the PSAT this morning. yayy.

my kitty died last night...

well i'm getting a blythe!
i ordered Hello Harvest from TIB. I kinda want Enchanted Petal because she reminds me of Princess A La Mode (who i can no way afford). I don't know if i will get her though. I think I will get her stock from someone. :)
I'm finishing up my Taeyang custom. All i can tell you is he is in Venitian mask style. :) he'll be super cool when he's done. I just need a wig now.

I'm so falling out of love with Pullips. I care less and less about them. They aren't even in my bedroom anymore (except for Howl). I don't really like any of the new ones that are coming out, and their not as creative. I wish they came with more accessories and outfits like Blythe. Plus their bodies aren't that great. Sigh I am going over to the dark side of dollies. I'm like Blythe more and more. Rachel turned me on to them with her adorable pictures of her Strawberry Millefuille, Apple. I'm trying to find someone to trade a Blythe for some of my Pullips.
I don't really know which Blythe I want. The ones i really like are:
-Night Flower
-My Best Friend
-Piccadilly Encore
-Samedi Marche
-Samedi Marche Encore
-Good Neighbor Cafe
-Rainy Day Parade
-Princess A La Mode
-Strawberry Millefeuille
-Tailor Gibson
-Ichigo Heaven
-Gentle River
-Tea for Two Encore
-Hello Harvest

I of those my favorites are Samedi Marche, Princess A La Mode, and Good Neighbor Cafe. Sucks that those are really expensive. Princess is even more expensive than my BJD! What i think i want to do is get a Hello Harvest or get a My Best Friend and re-wig her. Those two are nice and well priced.

I still want to get Lahoo or some other 60cm BJD. :-) It just may be after i get my Blythe. Heh.

In French class, we had to write about something that is special to us. I wrote about Maxime (Rit-chan!) Here's my lil thingy:
J'dore ma poupe, Maxime! il measure 44 cm. il a les cheveux noir, lisses, et longes. il a les yeux bruns. il a les grandes pieds aussi ! J'acheter-lui de une femme dans le Mexique, mais il est coreen. J'aime faire les photos de Maxime, mais je n'ai pas le temps parce mes devoirs. il a un jeune frere, Howl, mon Taeyang.
Translation: I love my doll, Maxime. He is 44 cm tall. He has black, straight, long hair. He as brown eyes. He has big feet too. I bought him from a girl in Mexico, but he is Korean. I like to take pictures of Maxime but i don't have time because of my homework. I has a younger brother, Howl, my Taeyang.
Yes, Maxime got new eyes. I bought them from a girl off DOA, but they were 18mm, not 16 mm like she said. >_< But they're okay. No pics yet.

For funsies, here's a quick photo of Maxime and Gloomy Bear. So cute!

I downloaded some music from Princess Mononoke. I can't find that song with the lyrics, something like "nobody knows your heart." And some of the songs on gendou.com won't download. Urgh. I love Joe Hisaishi though! He's a musical genious. He sounds a lot like Puccini, who is one of my favorite composers. That inspires this list:

Hitomi's Top Instrumental Songs
The Boy Who Drank Stars by Joe Hisaishi from "Howl's Moving Castle"
That Next Place by Thomas Newman from "Meet Joe Black"
The Great Eatlon by James Newton Howard from "Lady in the Water"
Tragedies (Seimei) (i don't know the composer) from "Loveless"
The Dragon Boy by Joe Hisaishi from "Spirited Away"
Legends of the Fall (i don't know the composer) from "Legends of the Fall"
Concerning Hobits by Howard Shore from "Lord of the Rings, the Fellowship of the Ring"
The Bridge of Khazad Dum by Howard Shore from "Lord of the Rings, the Fellowship of the Ring"
Prelude from the Unaccompanied Cello Suite in G Major by JS Bach, featured in "Master and Commander"
The Chairman's Waltz (i don't know the composer) from "Memoirs of a Geisha"

So i've finally decided what BJD i'm getting: DOT Lahoo. He's been my favorite since i first got into BJDs but his price always put me off. After realizing that price should not sway your choice in a BJD (because it's gonna be expensive anyway, you might as well get one you really like) I've decided to splurge on a SD. It's gonna be crazy because 64cm (that's how tall he is) is like up to the middle of my thigh! It'll probably be around December or January before i can afford him but i'm very excited that i've made my decision. My French teacher really likes Lahoo (she's a fan of my dollies) and thinks he'd be worth the wait.


Let's see how long this'll take...
I've got $20 coming in for Assa's outfit, $10 for the Captain Jack outfit, possibly the $85 for Papin.
I need to sell Sage and Shade. That would be $160.
For my birthday I usually get at least $300 and then $300 at Xmas.
Dad says i get $200 for not getting a class ring or letterman.
So yeah, by the end of the year seems about right.

I should probably sell some stuff though to speed it along. I need to sell off my American Girl Doll from elementary school.

My pullip collection is pretty much being whiped out. As lovehaze has pointed out, JP is just doing collabs of overly popular characters and ripping off previous dolls. The only dolls i like are Prunella, Jouet and Cinnamoroll and i might not even get them. Probably only Jouet. Everything else sucks in my opinion. The only way Pullips can redeem themselves in the way of new releases with me is either Strawberry Marshmallow girls (Nobue, Matsuri, Chicka, Miu, and Ana) or a tech nerd pullip (maybe with a camera or a laptop). I might get Jouet. I might not get Cinnamoroll because of the royalties and all making her more expensive.

MmmBlah.

I found out today that my guy friend Brian from French class got attacked and hit in the face with a baseball bat. He's in the hospital going into surgery. More school rivalry shit. I can see how Brian can prevoke people but the guy who attacked him had graduated and is in college! GROW UP! Omg. I hope he gets arrested for doing that to poor B. :-(

Ok, so i think i'm getting a Kid Delf Ttori from a girl on DOA. He was the original BJD i was saving up for when i found Rit-chan. This one comes with eyes, face-up, wig, and a pair of socks for $345. I've been eyeing a few outfits on Denver Doll. I'm not sure if i should get the Orient Doll Vampire IL or Ttori though. IL is $289 with face-up and eyes. A good wig is another $20...and then some clothes. I'm leaning toward Ttori. He's so adorable, and he even comes with the blue eyes i want!

So, i'm not getting the HK pullip. My parents said i can't have her for my birthday because they know how i hate her wig and all and they don't think i'll be happy with her. They said i could get Prunella for Chirstmas though and Cinnamoroll with my own money if she turns out nicely. I guess they are right. I'm really bummed that HK has a curly wig and I'm not happy with her faceup either. I was so bummed by My Melody!!! OMG! Her hair is like a 'fro! Noooooo! I was hoping her hair would be like Oren's. I wish she was in a bunny suit also... I don't like her dress because it's too similar to Raphia's. I love the Cinnamoroll Dal though! Her hair and eyes are PERFECT and her puppy suit is the best! Prunella reminds me of Misa Misa from Death Note. I know she's supposed to be a Japanese model but all i see is Misa. I'll probably end up naming her Misa. I like the Jouet Dal too. She's Jolie's bear. I'd actually seen that promo and was really hoping they'd make her. They are the first two Dals i've REALLY liked. I do wish they'd town it down with the lolita and punk stuff though. I really didn't like RIDa or Ucanricky. Blah.

I have this song stuck in my head... It's from "the chipmunk's adventure," a movie i used to watch when i was a little kid. I was watching it the other day and fell in love with the song again. Pretty catchy, goes somethin.
Here's the clip from the movie plus the lyrics. Hehe, such sqeaky voices.


Sun goes down,
I’m just gettin’ up,
I’m headed for the city of lights.

Radio blastin’,
All the way to the club,
Gonna rock this town tonight.

Chipettes:

You’re living in a man’s world,
They tell us.

But we ain’t gonna buy it.
The thing’s they’re tryin’ to sell
Us, now.

Cause we’re the girls of rock and roll
(Oooo!)
Yeah we’re the girls of rock and roll.
Rock and roll.

Chipmunks:

Curtain’s up,
And I’m ready to go,
My guitar is in my hand.

There’s nothin’ more that I’d rather do,
Than play in a rock and roll band.

What we have is what we will believe in,
Headin’ for the top!
Don’t you know?
We’ll never stop believein’!

Cause we’re the boys of rock and roll,
(You better believe it, yeah~)
Yeah, we’re the boys of rock and roll.
Rock and roll.

Chipettes:
We are the girls,
We are the girls,
We are the girls of rock and roll.

Chipmunks:

We are the boys,
We are the boys,
We are the boys of rock and roll.

Cause we’re the boys of rock and roll,
(Ohhh~)

Chipettes:

Yeah, we’re the girls of rock and roll,
Better believe that we are…

Chipmunks:

Yeah, we’re the boys of rock and roll
Rock and roll

Chipettes:

Yeah, we’re the girls of rock and roll,
Rock and rock and roll

Chipmunks:

Yeah, we’re the boys of rock and roll
Rooooock and roll

Chipettes:

Yeah, we’re the girls of rock and roll,
Rock and rock and roll

I've decided to sell Zaza and Plum. I've become un-bonded to them. Sage is still for sale too. I've gotten much more attached to Rit-chan (Maxime) and come to like BJDs better. So as for pullips, I'm keeping my deary Howl and my custom Lead, who is being redone. *Hush Hush, secret project* I'm still going to get the HK pullip and My Melody + Cinnamoroll if I like them, which i most likely will. I'm going to be selling all my pullip clothes though, because my sanrio pullips will be displayed only. With all that money from sales (about $400 if it all goes) I'm planning on getting more BJDs.

I've been looking into Orient Doll alot. Their MSDs look VERY nice and are pretty well priced. They look more adult, unlike most MSDs. The first i'm looking at is the Special Tae model which is a 40cm male. He's $339 and comes with his eyes, wig, cushions, two shirts, pants, shoes, and a hat. Concidering i paid $270 for Rit and he was nude...that's pretty nice. Also there is the Special Hong model which is a 40 cm girl. She's the same price with eyes, wig, cushions, a dress, sweater, hat, and stockings. Then there is the Vampire IL, whose head I LOVE. He's about $280 nude. They don't have a special version of him. They have the regular IL in special, but it's not the vampire head. Maybe i could split the Tae and get the head for him. That's a good idea i think. I'll post a WTS ad on DOA.

Then there is the Pipos Baha, the little white cat. I want one because they are unisex looking. You can dress them up either way. The one i want is $270 nude with eyes and faceup. They're a tiny size, about 21cm i believe. The Pipos Curo is cute too, but it's more expensive. I'm not sure which i'd rather have.

Then Elfdoll released Alice Cherry Blossom, the pig. She's $270 with faceup, eyes, dress, hat, and socks. But she was limited to 100 and is sold out. I heard they are going to release more next month. She's 14cm. Extra small compared to Rit.

I got these two cell phone charms in the mail yesterday. I'm going to turn them into necklaces. It's Gloomy Bear and Jiji from Kiki's Delivery Service. They were only $2.99 each! What a good deal :)

Ahh, my style icon! How i adore thee!

i got my braces adjusted on tuesdays and they hurt so effing much. I'm back to living off baked-beans, milk, and other food mush. >_< i swear it's like the orthodontist tries to hurt me. He spent like five minutes stabbing my gums with wires. Ugh. I cannot wait until September and i get this damn things off. I can't believe they've been on for two years.

SAT prep was Monday and Tuesday. Only four more classes left. I'm happy but at the same time bummed out because i've enjoyed spending time with Darren, Michael, Bonnie, Naomi, Shivani and all the other kids. We were doing a team game yesterday and our teacher was making up funny names for our teams. Because the two boys in my team's last name was Lam, and i'm the only white kid, he made us the The BaaBaas Featuring Whitey. One kid's last name looks like Halloween so her team was Halloween and the Goblins. The classes are always really funny and there are so many inside jokes now like Tentapus and Animal Cracker Hell. I'm gonna miss it. Darren, Naomi, Bonnie and I are going out to lunch on the last day.

I've spent my evenings watching either Hell's Kitchen, Last Comic Standing, or House. Such good shows. I watched On the Lot for the first time last night and it was cool because they were doing horror films. My favorite was one called "Ankle Biters." None were what I'd call scary but they were cool.

I'm still reading The Devil Wears Prada</b> but at a liesurely pace.

My DOD Too should be getting here within the week. I'm freaking excited! I already ordered him a brown yukata to match his wig. I got a blue one for Howl also. When me and my brother Stephen go to the zoo i'm gonna take Howl and Maxime with us. It's so funny how much Steve's grown on on Howl. He used to think they were stupid but now when he comes in my room, he likes to play with Howl. Maybe because he loves Howl's Moving Castle almost as much as i do.

I really need to sell my Shinku so i can get another Missionary to Howl's twin, Algernon.

I want to go shopping really bad. After reading my new issue of Vouge i'm kinda bored with my t-shirt and cargoes. So i've made a little shopping list.

-White trousers
-pleated skirt
-leather boat shoes
-anything from Scott Sternberg's new line Boy
-healed oxfords
-wingtip shoes
-casual minidresses
-slouchy heeled boots
my collection of skirts has dwindled seeing how i've gone down from a size 10 to a 6. I don't care how much weight it takes, when i get to a size 4, i'll be happy. I gave away my peasant skirts, which are OVER. I've started using my coach wristlet more even though i love to carry big bags. I want a tokidoki bad so much... or that Marc Jacobs tote. My Chanel bag broke again. TT____TT Stephen says I need some Diesle in my closet. Marie had a $300 pair of Diesle jeans he told me. He said they were awesome. Then Madeline for S&D has the cutest diesle flats. I need some new flats, BTW. My leopord print ones are getting old. Maybe gold this time...All the girls at SAT prep tease me about being so fashion-obsessed and wearing heels to class when everyone else wears gym shorts and tshirts.

In the Mail: DOD Too, that G-DAMN Assa Wig!

wow, long time no update! well, here's a recap:
i've started an SAT prep course. My orignal SAT score was 1520 and now after a week it's already 1980! DANG! My dad says if i get 2130 or higher (that's what my brother got) i get a car of my own. I kinda want a Yaris.

I ordered my very first BJD! A DOD Too. I'm very excited! He should be here soon.

I'm customizing my Lead. All i need is a wig and some eyechips. He's going to be a zombuki like brigitte's!

I'm looking to trade my shinku for another Missionary to be Howl's twin, Algernon. :)
