| ME DUN FEEL WELL |
[March 27, 2008 @ 3:57pm] |
So, I don't know what the heck is wrong with me, but I think I caught a bug from work. I had a fever last night, and I felt crappy all day (achy bones, headache, upset tummy, fever). When I went to bed I got the chills and even though it wasn't that cold last night, I had three blankets on. It took forever for the paracetemol to kick in. It sucks because it was my day off. D= DARN IT.
I feel a little better today, my fever went but its bordering on coming back. I'm a little worried it'll come back tonight. Also my tummy is still a little bit weird, and in the oddest way: I feel hungry all the time, and I keep craving fat-rich and protein rich foods. Like right now I'm craving Red Rooster (that's a roast chicken chain here in Aus). *dies* It's weird, because when I usually get the flu or something, my appetite closes up. So I don't know why I just feel like I haven't eaten for days. D= I don't know if I should give in to the feeling and eat what I want, or if its a tummy bug and I shouldn't eat much.
I got Aubrey, and she's really cute-- but I don't like her hair. It's shorter than it looks, imo. I was thinking of getting her a mohair wig somehow, (as rerooting her will cost too much and be too permanent, I imagine) but what colors would be good? I was undecided between pink, blue, brown, auburn and white. What do you all think? I'm undecided about chopping her hair off though, and I think RBLs will only take the scalps of other RBLs? So getting another scalp might be hard.
I also want to sand-matte her, and I can't stand her body. I thought her arms had outward rotation (like the newer barbies) but I should have realized it's just up and down. I was thinking of getting her a more articulate body... just don't know which.
EDIT: I forgot to mention that I hate her orange/pink chips, too. They don't suit her at all, in my opinion. I hope the gluestick thing will work on her, because I want to replace them. I'm hoping for grey/brown, I think.
Also edited a little for language. x3

| On Vox: Boycott the ole ELJay? |
[March 21, 2008 @ 10:34pm] |
|
I don't know if I should. On the one hand, I think the whole 'no basic
accounts' thing is the beginning of the end for LJ. I think it's just a
matter of time before even older users are forced on plus. And once
that happens, I'm out of here. So I'm wondering if I should jump ship
early? On the other hand, I started on LJ and it's been my home for a
long time. I can make my own layouts there, and use the LJ tools I'm so
fond of, as well as all my friends still being on there. Vox is
a lot prettier. Although it's owned by Six Apart anyway and has ads on
site, so maybe I'm just substituting one 'the man' for another. D= What LJ should
have done is kept basic accounts and upgraded 'plus' accounts to be so
IRRESISTIBLY AWESOME that it would tempt even the most vehement
ad-hater (me) into considering switching to plus-- As it was, it's
never seemed worth it to me... albeit I was considering getting a paid
account. But as it happens, thanks to the recent underhandedness of the
bosses over at ELJAY, I really don't want to give them a dime. =\ What to do... what to do..

This makes me sad. I honestly can't believe there's people out there who think that it's alright to copy someone's private journal entry and share it with the world.
I got into a discussion on BDD about copy-pasting, where someone asked me 'what's so unethial about copy-pasting?' and 'why does (the wronged party) care if her protected entry wasn't bad?' basically. I wasn't allowed to reply on her on there, but I have this to say:
She cares because her privacy was breached. It was a private entry for a reason, her reason. Whatever that reason was, it had a lock next to it. Maybe she didn't want to let the entire world to know how she felt. I don't even know her that well nor do I know her reasoning behind locking it, nor am I defending what she's done. Whether or not it's her 'own damn fault' for writing that entry, it was still wrong to share it, and she has every right to feel betrayed. *shrug*
Look at it this way:
You see someone's diary on a desk. You can either leave it there, or you can open it. Whatever you decide, it's your choice. And if you read it, it's not that person's fault for 'leaving it there'. YOU chose to read it. YOU chose to open it. Whether she's stupid for leaving it there or not, you did something wrong by breaching her privacy. That's what trust is. You broke her trust. You chose to do the wrong thing. If you then tell everyone what it says, not only are you in the wrong, what you're doing is unethical. Hence it's unethical. I really don't see why that part of my statement is difficult to understand.
No, it's not okay to tell everyone what a private entry says just because it's there and you have access to it. By that reasoning, there's no such thing as 'trust' at all, because everyone should assume their secrets are never safe, and never tell each other anything. I'm not saying one shouldn't be surprised when you tell a bunch of people something and one of them tells, but the person that spilled the secret is still in the wrong for doing so, not the person that wrote it. There IS a such thing as trust, and someone on her f-list broke it. You can justify it all you want, but it's still wrong for that person to have done that.
Just because you let someone in your house, it doesn't mean they are entitled to take pictures of the inside of it without your knowledge and pass them around to people who you don't let into your house. ^^;
Maybe I write about something stupid like My Scene dolls I want, but I lock it. I don't care if my f-list thinks it's 'not private' -- they're not entitled to share it with everyone they know. I locked it for a reason-- I wouldn't copy/paste something a friend told me, just like I wouldn't want my friends to do it to me. It's called being a decent human being. I wish more people would try it sometime.
I know that you guys wouldn't do that, because you're great like that and I love my f-list, I'm just slightly ticked off. I'm sorry for the vent. It's just that this has happened to a couple people I know and like and I think it's despicable. Worse that it's being justified. =\
I suppose C+Pers never use things like Ad-Aware and Spybot to remove Adware and stuff, because tracking cookies should be expected when one opens themselves up to using the internet, or something.

| MAI COMPUTER IS DEAD, LA LA LA ♪ |
[March 07, 2008 @ 4:56pm] |
Well,'dead' seems a bite extreme a term. I mean, it has a pulse, at least.
I THINKY my laptop's boot sector has become corrupt, as far as I can tell. I can still boot up in safe mode and I'm in the process of burning my data to DVD. I'm not sure if it was due to a virus or not, I have a virus-scan but it doesn't work in Safe Mode and it didn't alert me of anything before the BSOD.
At the moment I'm on my chug-a-lug ancient PC and I have very limited access to things. Anything online I can check, but I'll probably be slow about it as I haven't got my links on here. Also, things like reply notifications went through my Thunderbird mail so I have no idea if anyone replies or anything. SORRY =X

... I updated my journal layout, yay! No more grey, I'm sick of it. Guess who's that in the picture there? I took that photo-set last Sunday but I've been too busy working to edit them. Speaking of work, I need to get to sleep so I can wake up and go there. Yay.
I'll post the pictures soon, I'll have some time to read and comment and stuff on Sunday. Bye bye now. :D

I'm not with it.
I haven't been around for a while. I haven't felt like being here, or there, or anywhere. I don't mean to be melodramatic, and angsty, because I'm pretty much fine; I just am not with it lately. 'Busy' is not the correct word, and I wouldn't call myself depressed, but I suppose it's some of that as well.
A while ago I found it easier to shut down and not think about anything, and so little by little I stopped finding joy in things that in the past I loved-- like anime, and dolls, photography and things--and even chatting with you all. It's tough to pull myself out of hermit mode, and it's something I tend to do in cycles and will probably always do, so forgive me when I inevitably disappear again. It's not personal, and I don't mean to be so inconsiderate and make you all worry-- I just can't help it. Rest assured nothing 'caused' me to leave-- it wasn't anybody's fault or anything like that, I just haven't felt like going online, and days became weeks and whatnot. It's a me thing. (Work hasn't really helped, either).
Thanks to those who have kept me on their friends list despite my extended absence. You're really great, and I hope you're all well. (To be fair, I also hope that those who removed me from their friends lists are also well). I still consider you all my friends, and great people to boot. I hope you had lovely holidays and I'll try to check in more often. ~<3
I will post more later, (famous last words) It's just that my internet is crawling at the moment because theres been something wrong with my router for a while, and LJ is additionally slow, so getting the site to load has been like pulling teeth.

[March 01, 2007 @ 7:58am] |
... but mostly. How is everyone? I have been around but just not checking LJ and forums very regularly. I haven't even been keeping up to date with doll releases... *le gasp!*
I can't promise I'll be around every day but hey I logged in didn't I? =D That's gotta count for something, right?
Since my Birthday (29th of Jan) things have been pretty bleah for me and when I get into bleah mode all the motivation is sucked out of me. Even fun things like getting a new doll become bleah... I hope things have been better for all of you and that you're all well.

Scuse my language...
See, I had a bad day today. I woke up late and missed an ebay item I wanted to bid on. I got my test results today and I failed a recruitment test for a job I was going for x_x... and to top it off, I cut my finger today, really badly. I sliced an inch-long wound with a serrated knife 1/4 of an inch deep. No hospital trips, but it's painful... I can't really type very well, I have it bandaged and I really hope it heals okay.
When I thought that I was cursed today... I got a bit of a reprieve in my inbox.
Dear Blythe Fan,
Congratulations! You have been selected in the lottery to purchase the
*Neo Last Kiss* Blythe!
Again, Holy Shit. XD Now I need 170 USD... =\

A friend of mine online gave me some good advice today and I feel a bit better. It's always great to feel noticed and loved, especially when you need it most, like I did yesterday. When you feel as if there's no one in your corner and you're completely alone. You reach out for someone, hit empty air. Crickets chirp. It feels dark.
Sometimes a person you least expect can surprise you just by being there-- drying your tears and giving you a shoulder to lean on. Someone to talk to. Even online, that's important. Everyone has bad days, even faceless people hiding behind avatars and monikers, feel. For every username theres a soul there, a real person who thinks and feels and who has bad days and good days and isn't cheerful 100% of the time. It's important to be connected, I think. I try to be, but I might withdraw a bit soon.
I'll probably filter my entries (if I can figure out how) so I don't bore the non-dolly people to death with my problems when they don't care anyways. Sorry.
'Bye.

.... last week or so. And I made a new blog there. This one is more personal, because I have problems being more 'myself' on this blog. I made it to share pics and other nice things, and for the doll community. So I have problems transitioning from "La La Purty DOLLIE *prance*" and "OMG I HATE THE WORLD!!!111one" when I have a bad day, that well.
So I'm taking it there. If anyone is interested in my insanity, you're free to friend me there and I'll friend you back-- but you'd need an account to see anything I deem as racy! OMIGOSHBOOBEHS. (I kid) :D
http://dunneh.vox.com/
Of course, all my doll-collection and doll-community stuff will still be here. Don't worry, I'll chuck in a rant here every once and a while. :D I just am going to post about other interests over there.
I return you to your regularly scheduled transmission.

This is why I fell in love with Anne from the get go! I know I've been promising Anne pics for a while, but I finally got around to doing some now! ^_^ I love her to bits, she's very sweet. I still can't bear to undo her braids! I need a second Anne wig so I can keep them intact, lol. XD
I will cross post this to my flickr (Dunneh) as well as some Doll Sites; sorry about that, hope those who frequent those sites along with me don't get annoyed! As always my LJ will always have the pics before anywhere else.
EDIT: How could I forget! A huge plug to Jooli of Dollsville. She's wonderful. She tailored this to me, implementing the changes I wanted to the dress, and she threw in the clips. I would buy from her again!
More under the cut -- of course!!

Accidentally in Love - Counting Crows |
] |
I'm bored, and lonely,  so I figured "hey lets forego sleep to bother people with blogging," so here goes!
When I went to the US I had a ton of pullips and clothes waiting for me that I'd bought and had shipped to my friend in AZ-- (due to costs shipping to Australia)-- unfortunately, it was so many I couldn't bring them all back with me! I had: Paja, Carol, Oren, Fourrure (my second), Mercu, Anne, Wind and Nomado-- waiting for me! Hee! They're all mine with the exception of Nomado, which was my present to him (he plays guitar, so it suited). Seeing them all in person was kinda over-whelming and there were so many that it was difficult to bond with them all.
Paja: Not what I expected. I think I was a little disappointed in her. Maybe it's because she's so popular  Because I see her everywhere I rewigged her while I was over there but I didn't bond. The new wig I used, it's not her wig anyways, it's Panda's (proposed) brown wig, but its the only actual wig I had with me at the time. XD - The wig I planned for Paja is going to be auburn. I'm hoping that after that I'll bond with her properly. I feel kinda awful that I'm saying I didn't like her that much. I'm sure a ton of people want to smack me for that comment. XD (Or want to buy her from me). I'm sorry, Paja!
Carol: Adorable, absolutely gorgeous, I got her in June for a steal and boy am I ever glad I did! Her skintone seems so dark compared to the others, and her hair is a little dry. But I luff her. She has a sweet little face and looks so at home in retro clothes. I didn't bring her with because I didn't have the space, but I HOPE she gets sent to me soon. She's kinda different to what I expected, too... sometimes she seems less sad, sometimes more sad. I love her though.
Oren: This was a surprise gift from my BF seeing as I'd sold my first Oren due to a flaw the previous owner didn't disclose and that upset me. This Oren was NRFB. She is amazing, and I am glad he got her for me after all even though at first I wasn't sure I wanted another. She has a name all planned: Ren. She was going to be my gothiloli girl but I dressed her in fruits style and she looks fantastic like that, too! So I'm having problems deciding on her personality. 
Anne: I fell for Anne immediately, so much so that she's the girl I decided to bring back with me, (her and Mitzi, leaving Panda and Chicca behind.  . I'm a bad mom). XD I can't get over how cute she was. She stole my heart straight away. It's funny how that happens with some girls and not others... some you have to work to bond with. Maybe its her freckles or the fact she wasn't very popular till long after her initial release I don't know. I LOVE her freckles though. They're my fave part of her, for sure. *hugs her* I can't bear to undo her braids so I don't know what to do. I like her hair colour so I'm contemplating getting a similar color wig so I can rewig her and leave her braids intact. (Anal, I know). Also she had super melty butt, but I luff her anyways. 
Mercu: I don't know what to think about her. She's a darling, but her hairstyle doesn't do it for me... Her hair was softer than I thought, though. I'm hoping I'll like her more when I rewig her. I put her in an outfit combo that looked super awesome, though, and I really loved that look. I took a pic, but it was a crappy one as it was too hot to go outside to bother posing her (plus I'm a lazy ass). 
Fourrure #2: I am amazed that I'm bonding with this Fourrure differently to my original Fourrure (which I gave to my mother for mothers day). Fourrure is another that stole my heart from the box. She has a sweet looking face which took me by surprise. I like my original Fourrure more, but it may just be a case of 'been there, done that' (like with Oren) which made me not want to pay much attention to her while I was in the US. I don't know.
Wind Wind is intense looking. That's the only way I can describe it. She has an intense stare and look, she omits 'cool' vibes, too-- and she looks very grown up! She definitely looks the most grown up of all my girls. It's different seeing very very shiny eyes (they remind me of Blythes)... they make her gaze seem very piercing. I think her stock outfit doesn't suit her at all. Also I got the bike with my Wind-- so I was very lucky. The bike was very cute. It's heavy! Man! It's all metal and its a little cumbersome. I had to leave it behind. It's nice though. I had fun dressing Wind but I was at a loss as to her personality... her hair was a mess to do anything with. (Mercu had the same problem). I want to straighten it as soon as I get here in in Australia!
Nomado: Nomado is STUNNING. Amazing in person. Her hair/dreads are silky and smooth. I fell for her immediately, she exudes cool. I was amazed, as I bought her for DamDam, not myself. Now I want her for myself! ;) She was the one I saw and bonded with immediately and she's technically not mine! Do'h! I can't get over how wonderful Nomado is. I love her! At least I got to name her-- Maddie (Madeline). 
I know I want another pullip but I've no idea who to choose next. I think my friend Eri is starting to think I hate type 3s XD because I have none. It's not true! I just haven't been: 'omg, luff!' with any. I'm starting to feel I want another girl and it's becoming a toss up between two girls in particular... I can't decide.
I like ALL the Taeyangs so I was thinking I might just start on them instead. After all I got 4 out right now! But who to start with...
And I like the DaL's okay, but I am thankful I'm not getting the 'omg need' vibe. I don't need ANOTHER hobby, haha. XD

Scissor Sisters - Don't Feel Like Dancin |
] |
Horrible. What a rollercoaster this week has been. My internet has been slowed down to 64kbps -- around dialup speed, because we've gone over our 10gb cap this month. They don't charge you, but they do slow you down. Poopy. *Innocent look.* It's not my fault! I swear! Okay, it was my fault, I probably pushed it over when I downloaded Entropia and Second Life. I haven't had a chance to play Entropia but Second Life is fun! In a dancing cow and ooga-chaka baby kinda way! I love it! I'm sure I'll get bored of it soon.
Course, due to the slow-down It's been a week (since last monday) that I can't play SL properly or even browse, really. It is SO SLOW! ARGH. I never realized how much of a net junkie I am, or cable, rather. If I lost the net I'd be seriously freaking out. Luckily, chat still works fine, well, the net should be reset back to 8mbps tonight, hopefully. Ah, it was fun to be on 'dialup' while it lasted... (okay not really).
I've also been in the most horrible mood EVAR. I don't know what's been wrong with me. I have been so incredibly crabby lately. I can't sleep, and the other day I was watching TV and I couldn't even pay attention. I felt so restless and strange, I burst into tears for no apparent reason, twice. I don't understand. I fought with my (NEW) BF every day this week-- about a FISHTANK! The first fight was about the fish, the second about how to position his fishtank on his desk, the third about some plastic plants! WTF? Yeah, we fought about something that stupid on three counts. -_- I'm under the impression I'm picking fights with him for no legitimate reason. It's not even my girly time as that's come and passed-- the week before last. So what the heck is up with me? I'm crazy, that's what. *sigh* I border between completely deliriously happy in love and a deep dark well of despair, sucking me into nothingness. It was a very dark week, last week, and I'm glad it's over. Things are looking up, and it's a good day. Though I'm sure someone is going to bring my mood down in the morning. My family is annoyingly irritable and it isn't helping me, not even a little.
Before I forget-- thank you all for your nice comments by the way. I luff you guys! But, where's Olga? (Florellea?) What's happened to her? Her LJ is empty? If anyone can fill me in, let me know. I miss her! I've been so out of the loop that I dunno what's up anymore, I've no idea what pullips are out, even. I took a look today, and geez I missed a lot while I've been gone!
I know I promised trip details but I can't be bothered. Gosh I'm so lazy I can't be bothered finding a pic to upload to make this entry interesting or anything. Pshaw!
Also, Happy Halloween!
