hi

So I never post here about my actual life despite this being my journal, and all. So bscly I have gotten through (I don't want to say "over" because that trivializes it for me and for everyone else who suffers) whatever bout of depression I had had for about a month there. (seriously, it was so awful.) But I feel mostly normal now! Except now I have a month of laziness to pick up after. My room looks like a warzone and I still don't really feel up to it :(

I have four Monster High dolls now: Draculaura and Frankie, plus the Gloom Beach version of Clawdeen, which is cheaper and comes with less but is still really worth it, and the basic Ghoulia, who is PERFECT. Like all nerdy girls want to believe they're Ghoulia. She wears awesome glasses and has awesome hair and wears a piano key belt and a shirt with cherries and a cute necklace and fishnet arm warmers and has knee-hight black, white, and red converse sneakers that, by the way, are like 6 inch heels. And pink zipper-pull earrings. And a diary with a bonus bookmark! eeeeeee. Clawdeen's 80s-looking rainbow cheetah print bathingsuit is a one-piece with a shorts-looking bottom with a cute (sadly attached) belt, and a removable also 80s-looking pink and black striped top. She has 4 earrings: pink, purple, blue, and green. And her hair is streaked with purple! Therefore she is cooler than the other Clawdeen I thought I wanted. Her hair is so frizzy I had to put it in pigtails with elastic bands from her packaging but that's okay. She also came with sunglasses, a frisbee, and a postcard. Oh, and shoes, too, and a brush and a stand, because Monster High dolls come with everything they need. Ghoulia has a stand and brush too, and also a purse that looks like a cassette tape, and her little owl named Sir Hoots-a-Lot who clips on her arm. Oh and did I mention Ghoulia has sparkly eyeshadow like Draculaura? They could have totally skimped on her eye makeup because of her giant glasses, but nope.

We went to Toys R Us last week and I spotted a single Ghoulia behind all the other dolls. Then Boyfriend confessed he'd already ordered one, so being the kind and benevolent person I am, I tucked her back in the back, where I'm pretty sure someone had deliberately hidden her. I hope whoever it was went back and found her! So that night I got the only Clawdeen they had. Then this weekend I got my Ghoulia! So now I have four and I think that's plenty, for now. I put Clawdeen in a pair of Barbie jeans that are super old over her bathing suit, because it's cold! She looks kind of 90s with her little belly shirt and giant baggy jeans.

I Ghoulia and Clawdeen the little bracelets I'd made for them forever ago so now all four of them have matching friendship bracelets. ...yeah, in my spare time I make doll bracelets. This is my life.

Anyway, I also tasted lobster and cried, but I ate a whole shrimp without gagging!

I've been taking a multivitamin (with hair supplement) for a few months now, and also started taking extra (completely safe, don't worry) hair supplement. The result has been my eyelashes are growing like weeds. I know I've mentioned it before, but now even my bottom lashes are getting into it and there's a definite noticable change in how they look without any makeup. This is important news, okay. Better I talk about this than depressing things, right? Also my bangs are getting longer. Which isn't a surprise, because hair does grow, but still, I'm happy. I really hate my bangs :(

I forget if I even mentioned this but my grandmother tripped and broke her foot. She's getting all gloom and doom like ~this is the beginning of the end~ but really, she didn't lose her balance because she's old or got dizzy or fainted or anything, she just tripped. She's being stubborn and not really letting her foot heal properly, but I hope she does soon because diabetics can lose their feet if they aren't careful.

anyways have I mentioned here that Boyfriend makes me play Magic with him? (and I like it?) I should document that in case future Ivy comes to read about her life. (hi, self! HAVE YOU HAD BABIES YET?)

I still collect Hello Kitty stuff too but they don't have any in the Target dollar section so my collecting has dwindled. Which is just as well because I don't need to hoard any more. I did get a tiny package of stickers from the cards/games section at Walmart though (Boyfriend was buying moar magic!11).

oh! Walmart had their Halloween costumes on sale so I got a Draculaura outfit. It fits because I'm short. I'd worried that I'd be too fat, but it fits! So now I have a costume for next year, assuming I can find pink boots by then. Heh.

oh, one last thing, I hope I get one of those cheap mini Lalaloopsy dolls for my birthday. HAPPY BIRTH MONTH TO ME~~ because as you all know I'm obnoxious about my birthday and I celebrate the whole month because I am obnoxious.

I WILL PLAY MOAR SIMS SOON OK BAI.

I'm glad you're feeling better. Lately I've felt like EVERYONE I KNOW IS DEPRESSED. And it was making me depressed (more than I've been for other reasons.) But it's good to now that ~that has passed~ for you for now.

IVY ARE YOU GOING TO HAVE CRAZY SPONGEBOB EYELASHES THAT YOU CAN LIKE USE AS A BROOM AND SHIT.

Your grandma should stop being stupid. DIABETES IS SCARY WHEN IT'S NOT WELL TAKEN CARE OF DD:

Oh my gosh, aren't the Lalaloopsy dolls cute? There's one (Sugar Cookie, I think?) who has a pet mouse and I NEED HER. Seriously. A mouse. We were made for each other.

I love toys so much. I can't *wait* for this year's toy drive, partly because I love looking in toy stores. Shame, I haz none.

What supplements are you taking? My lashes are awful. One eye is totally fine, right, but the other eye has lashes growing at all different angles and basically I look ridiculous. I was considering doing Latisse but it's ridiculously expensive and once you stop using it your lashes slowly go back to their original state, which sucks. I need some suggestions.

Good luck with your grandmother. I hope she starts taking care of herself soon and makes a full, speedy recovery.

Awesome, thanks! I need to go vitamin shopping. I've been slacking a bit since I got sick in July and I'm just now getting back into the habit. I really like the Alive multivitamins. They use fruit and vegetable based nutrients and they really do increase your energy, they're awesome. I will try the biotin, thank you!

Toy drives are fun. I can't wait to pile up the cart with My Little Ponies and action figures, LOL.

I'm so glad you feel better. You not being a super happy beacon of joy is too weird for me.

Also your love of Monster High is infectious, because yesterday I bought a Frankie and a Draculaura because they were on sale and they're pretty. LOL.

And I hope you still like Hello Kitty because I keep finding cute stuff that I want to send you for Christmas.

What supplements are you taking? I take a multi and biotin but if you've discovered magical lash-growing shit I need to know about that.

WHAT IS KILLER STYLE? I want to know if mine are them. Do I need to go back and buy more? LOL.

And oooh do want.

DUDE those are totally what I bought. They were like $8. lol

I will see if I can still get anyyyyyy.

[identity profile] odontv.livejournal.com 2011-11-07 05:02 am (UTC)(link)
How much can I see these for? Are they just rare or are they the kind of rare where I can sell them to collectors one day?

[identity profile] odontv.livejournal.com 2011-11-07 05:09 am (UTC)(link)
There are crazies for everything. Maybe I can snatch up a bunch and eBay them for Christmas time. LOL.

I'm so glad you understand.

You speak my language. <3

You are an IRL Hello Kitty.

ohmigosh! My boyfriend makes me play Magic with him too! I only enjoy it when I'm winning. (whoa, I almost spelled that as "whenning")
