Writer's Block: Play it again, Sam

If you could only listen to one CD for the rest of your life, what would you choose and why?

The Soft Bulletin - The Flaming Lips

I know this because whenever I see it on sale I want to buy a copy, despite owning two technically. Also the only CD I ever rebought when I I thought I'd lost the original so distraught I was. Awesome ^_^

Why am I up so late? because I am 22

Some things stay the same
some things change
things shuffle, and rearrange
but I know that some little things
will always stay
and baby I hope you are one of them

Much of a muchness
All or nothing at all
Its not my place, I really shouldn't call
but I know some little things
I can't resist
and you are one of them

This will all fall down one day
and all I will have are sweet
and dirty memories of these times dear
but I know I won't change
I don't want to
and you are what I want

I feel I must interject here

I will not have the internets for a while until the *haus* situation gets sorted out. Not that I've been posting for a while now, but I just thought I should say so for some reason. Also, the irony of posting to report no posting is not lost on me ^_~ This makes me think of 3 years ago when my mum caused LJ/internet issues before I left university on my other account. I am still in two minds as to get her anything for mother's day or not. Was considering this message " I love you mum, but I do not always like you."

In other news, The Postal Service are an awesome band (Esp the songs sleeping in and Nothing better, which is astounding), Watchmen was brilliant (The opening 15 minutes were cinematic geeky bliss especially) and I am a little bit in love with Nite Owl II.

Everything is transitory and we are forever changing and staying the same. Its part of what makes a life I think. That and trying to be happier more than sad. I am rambling once more.

See ya soon LJ!

Totally just nicked this from uneetoile ^_^

If you read this, if your eyes are passing over this right now,(even if we don't speak often or ever) please post a comment with a COMPLETELY MADE UP AND FICTIONAL memory of you and me.

It can be anything you want - good or bad - BUT IT HAS TO BE FAKE.

When you're finished, post this little paragraph in your LJ and see what your friends come up with.

(I think this is a fun idea... not just an excuse to try to be as surreal as possible... although that too is totally allowed/ encouraged)

You're not really here, it's just the radio.

For your reading pleasure is a list of things you may or may not know about me. One thing for each year I have been alive.

I went for an interview today for a job I did not know what it was until I arrived.
I am more girly now then I ever was as a child.Nowadays I feel odd not in a skirt.
I miss being able to play in a park without feeling like I am too old to be there.
It is unusual for me to not possess at least one pen and lip balm at any one time.
The same goes for plasters.
I used to have a crush on Jarvis Cocker when I was younger
Jarvis is one of my nicknames Elisha gave me years ago, because she said my glasses made me look like a bit like him. this was a confusing for a while.
That is not the only nickname I have.
I cannot eat meat off the bone. It makes me feel queasy and lose my appetite.
I fear breaking my leg and the bone protruding out of the skin because I wouldn't be able to resist poking the bone.
I have a fairly good singing voice (I think) but have no idea what to do about it, or even if I want to do anything about it.
If i could choose three instruments to learn, I would pick the Cello, Guitar (/Bass Guitar) or piano/ Keyboard
I cannot wait until I am 22 as I like the number 2 and then I will be finally be able to convince myself that I was wrong about a paranoid thought that has been with me for many years.
I apologise to inanimate objects when I walk into them sometimes.
I am a semi-orphan
I am scared of fire.
I miss feeling confident in my ability to do maths. I used to really love it.
I recall most dreams that I have an get deja vu often.
I have a soft spot for detectives in books and films.
I also like to cheer for the villian.
I wonder what it would be like to be in a survival horror game type situation.

I think that is enough trivia for now.

Feel free to comment .. you know if you want to ^_^"

Oh yes! As for the secret project, it's had some setbacks but it's still alive! ^___^

Secret Project underway

2008-07-31T22:38:18Z

The past few days I have been a very busy person helping my sister with a project that came out of nowhere.

I don't want to disclose too much but I can say this much (without breaking my non-disclosure agreement with Zoe) that it is a pic fic of epic proportions (at least that's what I hope) .

It puts the Epic in Pic fic!

Seriously. We have a pretty complex plot and a long long cast list and so many props, we had to make a stick-prop to shake at them! I'm looking forward to finishing it so we can post it and see what other's think. But truth be told, it makes me just as happy to be doing a project that stretches my creative muscles and imagination again with my sister who is one of my favourite people in the whole world ;)

Even though she got two new dolls at once and I got doll envy. Dioll envy that makes me want to buy the Rei i've seen on Dollymarket despite not having the funds or room for another doll ^_^ Oh , she got a Zuora and suigintou too! She has a thing for grey haired dollls and those with purple eyes. Good taste I say!

in other news, I have a funeral to attend tomorrow. It is strange as it was for my great-uncle Harry who I only really got to know these past 5 years or so. He was my unofficial grandfather. I miss him. We both had birthdays on the same day, albeit with a 66-year gap. He had lung cancer which we knew was terminal and so his passing didn't surprise anyone. I am glad we got to say goodbye and that his last days were filled with family and as much comfort as he could get. on another slight tangent, I get to visit my father's grave tomorrow as the service is in the same place.

I feel happy because Harry is not in pain. I also feel a little guilty because it seems odd to feel happy at a time of grieving but i know he is no longer in pain and is reunited with his wife. We have been told that we should wear colourful clothing for tomorrow as he said he did not want it to be a morose affair.

Also, My Chill has finally got a tentative name. Meet Tabitha!

A quick meme I found on the netz!

2008-07-01T17:42:26Z

Everyone loves a good Meme! Maybe. feel free to copy and complete : )

1) Name one scent or smell you can't stand and why:

I hate the smell of boiled cabbages. Oh and the smell of oranges sometimes triggers migraines so I'm a bit suspicious of that smell too ^_^"

2) What happened in the last dream you remember?:

In my dream last night, I was the driver of a bus and some girls who were supposed to be at school were being abusive to me when I told them off for skivving. I let them on the bus. One of the Girls' parents were walking by the bus so I casually asked them if they were looking for their daughter as she was on my bus and she got in a lot of trouble which made me laugh sneakily.

3) What are you scared of?: I'm scared of letting people down and little scared of the dark.

4) Name your ideal hair colour type and length: Indigo/Dark purple, Long, wavy and NOT frizzy, kind of like Psylocke's hair from the X-men actually ^_^

5) Name your favourite out of the following:
~ Singstar or Guitar Hero? Guitar Hero but I think I'd like singstar too!
~ Cats or Dogs? Cats... although I have a dog I love to bits.
~ Fruit or vegetables? Fruit all the way!

My dissertation is on its way to completion
When I'm finished, hopefully should be more updates!

*end messages!*

Off Topic But Still good!

2008-03-16T21:18:36Z

I found two old mix CDs from when I was about 15. I feel oddly energised by it. Time really does go much too fast.

A couple of bands on it I don't really like too much anymore:
- GreenDay
- Tenacious D

Bands/ Songs I still adore:

- The ballad of Tom Jones (Catatonia and Space collaboration - I loved it back then *_*)
- The Offspring - Want You bad ~ My favourite Offspring song ever I think
- Wheatus - Teenage Dirtbag
- Skanking Pickle
- Queen Adreena
- Incubus - Are you in

The song that reminds me of the time when my sister Laughed at me :
Less Than Jake - All my friends are Metalheads

Also, it has the obligatory (for me anyway) embarassing/cheesy/odd songs at the end which actually are almost all from Fraggle Rock (the Tv Show). If I knew how, I'd upload a couple.

Happy Birthday to me

2008-02-09T16:39:37Z

It is my 21st birthday today and I have spent most of the morning/early afternoon at work
(library = quiet= easy enough job to do today )

Birthdays confuse me a little as I get presents and I want to give people presents too but can't really ^_^".

>THIS NEXT SECTION IS NOT BOASTING (merely keeping track for posierity ^_^")<
I have got some awesome things from boyfriend (Yay for horror game, film and music as well as a few other things to come he says ^_^) and an awesome bag and paperchase stationary (not forgetting spaceballs DVD) from my lovely flatmate, and dolly comrade-in -arms, Plastic_army. I also got some dolly clothes and a mlp from my lovely dolly friend who isn't on Lj but is still really cool.
>End of Boasting :P<

Thus so far, it has been a rather nice day and I hope it lasts!

I will try to actually upload the pics that I've taken on Thursday sometime soon ^_~

(ps. Feel free to eat cake today , its tradition!)

2007 -> 2008

2007-12-31T21:24:33Z

Well that is another year almost gone, I thought I'd have a quick and thoughtful recap of it.

As a whole, its been a pretty good year, have met quite a few nice people and made some good friends (especially in the world of pullips ^_^) and I have actually kept a new year's resolution for once! If you want to know what it was it was to try new things, especially new food as you'll never know if you don't try it!

Thankyou to all of my friends, especially my doll-tolerant Boyfriend (despite him probably not reading this ^_^") and Amy - this year would not have been the same with out you! And to my dolls, without who, i wouldn't be writing this ^_^"

My operation in May seems to have gone as well as it could have done and hopefully (Tough wood) It will stay this way :) I got a job as a librarian, thus fulfilling a childhood dream of working in a library (I was and still am a total bookworm).

2008 sees me leaving university , a prospect which I find currently terrifying but I'm hoping it will work out okay! Especially if I do well on my dissertation - I adore the fact that I can write academically about a subject I'm interested in. If I stay positive and go to the gym a little more all will be fine ^_~

Here's to a lovely and prosperous Happy New Year for all of us!

I forgot how hard selling pullips can be ^^; I made LRRH look all pretty for her sale photos and have a box all ready as I thought she was pretty much sold, but the girl had a personal money problem and couldn't buy her. but I hope that someone will give her the home she deserves soon!

How can you say no to that face (*although I'm kinda the exception :P)

Why does waiting take so long!

Also, I'm tempted to buy a moof doll since the shop is now restocked (for now) but I'm not sure if I ought to. Argh descions are hard heh!
I'm also tempted to sell the two mini-blythe that haven't seen sunlight (or the outside of their boxes ever really) for quite some time as well as the cute but underappreciated mini-mercu pullip.

I really love those tiger feet ~ <3

2007-10-25T19:02:44Z

Here is my latest "creation" , fullsized pullip tiger suit and hood! ^__^

Its made of tiger patterned fake fur (obviously heh) and fits all 3 types of pullip. Its held together at the top by some strategically placed snaps which are hidden by the fur and the paws are made of felt. I made the hood from matching fur and added a little white fur for the underside of the ears.

I hope you all like it ^^; it took me a fair while. I was thinking about selling it initially but I'm kinda attached to it now! I'm working on some more animal hats at the moment, but when they are all done, I'm hoping to take some photos and show them off a little more.

Also, in the Photos are my rewigged Rida (Dana) and papin (Ringo) and the model for the tigress is my Craziia (For now at least, Dinah)

Pink Octopus.. feel like so!

2007-10-07T16:03:54Z

Here is my lovely Ringo wearing my newest made hat; the octopus hat!
Its made of pink fleecy material and is decorated with sequins on each of its eight tentacle-arms!
It was so much fun to make and really easy to sew as the material didn't fray ^__^

Hope you all like it!

I've also made a tiger hat, a penguin hat and a owl hat for instant_music's birthday which I will post pictures of onto my flickr.
My username is Momo_viola ^_^
Also, if anyone can think of any other animal they'd like to see me do in hat form, feel free to comment and tell me!
Hats are much too fun to make *__*"

The photo was taken at a park in Derby and My Rida, Dana also came along, photo's of her in her newly borrowed wig are also on my flickr ^_~

Thanks for reading :P

Just a quick update ^_^

Been taking lots of pics out of my makeshift studio (AKA my walk-in cupboard ^^; )

Got a nice set of "family" pics, which is nice. I also have realised that I think I prefer the paler girls, a preference my flash does not care for too much I don't think.

Posted another set on the pullipstyle forum ^_^

I would love to know what you think of them!

Nero issues?

2007-06-30T20:17:28Z

Wah, haven't posted again in awhile ^^; Am so bad heh

I've been having real issues with Nero atm as her head is driving me nuts. Its really loose and turns all the way around with no encouragment. I have no idea how to fix this heh so any advice would be good!

Its so hard to bond with her when she's doing the exorcist head turning thing all the time! XD

Re-wigging Nero may help me bond but do you think it'll put people off if I do want to resell her? also, bit worried about ripping the wig!:S Am also looking for a new (classy?) name for her?

Ah so many issues!

On the other hand, since redressing Ringo (Papin) she seems to fit straight in now, which is nice as I'd be loathe to sell her (chicca would miss her sister!) Also I (and I feel bad for thinking this) but maybe she'll end up being a harder to find doll and this may be a good thing?

In other news, My sister wants a chill, so I am keeping an eye out for one for her. She will convert! Even my mum kinda liked my dolls, showing and interest in Rida the most (that "punky one" as she calls her :D)

Also, I have been cleaning out my walk-in wardrobe and now I can actually walk-in it again!

And to keep up with posting pictures, here is Ringo (with Mercy peeking in from the side! XD!)

My pullip rating ^_^ ... feel like so!

2007-06-12T18:50:08Z

I was moon! ^____^

This makes me very happy as she is
a) a catgirl
b) has pink hair
c) is freaking awesome!

Cute personality and activity I've found a new 'me'...
I will be heroine tonight, meow~
...Feel like this."

YAY!

First post!

2007-06-07T13:34:17Z

Wow, I've been meaning to do this for a long long time and ...haven't but here goes nothing!

I guess I should write about myself first heh. I'm a 20 year old british girl studying at university whilst trying not to bankrupt myself with pullips! I think that's it fundamentally heh ^_^"

And just so it is not all boring text, here is my rewigged chicca.
