Bitch Blaheha is an unimaginably bad dinner guest. For starters, salad dressing has been known to fly out of her mouth uncontrollably...and her hair ALWAYS finds its way into the spaghetti (which is why she hardly has any left). She's been hanging around on my desk for a while now.

This takes me back to 8th grade sleepovers where we would all try to inspect each other's stuff, whether or not everyone consented to it. One time Kyli and I found a sheet of notebook paper completely (and tastelessly!) covered in the owner's crush's name.

P.S. if you are a guy who keeps a purse, please consider yourself tagged.




Purse I picked up for 15 cents at a garage sale covered in buttons (2 from Furjay, 1 from Kyli, 1 from Clint, 3 from a Chinese Laundry promotion), small notebook, purple pen, bag of aspirin, Value Village coupon, $1 sunglasses found at Goodwill, mass of keychains with two keys buried somewhere in it (some from Kyli, one from Furjay, some found at a thrift store), crappy cell phone with Daiso star mirror charm (that is not particularly useful as a mirror), makeup bag from an Allure giveaway



Inside of makeup bag: small mirror, Tutti Dolce Fantasia di Cioccolata lipgloss, Sephora glitter lipstick #69 (why I'm not sure, I never wear it), Clinique Bamboo Pink lipstick, MAC lipsticks: Girl About Town, Ruby Woo, Pink Noveau, Face Atelier Revenge lipstick, some Victoria's Secret lipliner (I forget the shade name), Clinique Air Kiss lipgloss, some chocolate cherry lotion I got free in the mail, Goldie Leslie lipgloss]]> nap time rupert sleeping west highland terrier westie Buzznet,nap time,rupert,sleeping,west highland terrier,westie alcy 2008-08-14T15:00:00Z http://cdn.buzznet.com/assets/imgx/5/0/2/4/6/7/1/thumb-5024671.jpg http://cdn.buzznet.com/assets/imgx/5/0/2/4/6/7/1/synd-5024671.jpg http://cdn.buzznet.com/assets/imgx/5/0/2/4/6/7/1/mob-5024671.jpg http://cdn.buzznet.com/assets/imgx/5/0/2/4/6/7/1/gallery-5024671.jpg http://cdn.buzznet.com/assets/imgx/5/0/2/4/6/7/1/large-5024671.jpg http://cdn.buzznet.com/assets/imgx/5/0/2/4/6/7/1/feat-5024671.jpg http://cdn.buzznet.com/assets/imgx/5/0/2/4/6/7/1/orig-5024671.jpg 0 0 http://alcy.buzznet.com/user/journal/2849951/ha/
What do I see in the new Sephora catalogue?

Oh yeah, everyone wants to be me. ♥

p.s. still mad about the hair incident. Back to black for now, I'll try it again though.

My friend just bought the most delicious looking handmade cupcake soy candles from this store.



They look so real!!! I can just taste the sweetest fresh cupcake looking at it. They make soaps like this too (among other shapes of soaps and candles), everything looks good enough to eat!

 Which got me to thinking...I don't consider myself much of a writer, but to those of you that do: do you ever feel this way as you write fiction?

 Forgive me if these thoughts are poorly organized, I'm not all here at the moment (I stayed up all night reading), but I hope that this makes sense in some way. (AKA - I was dreaming when I wrote this, so sue me if it goes astray...)

 I am amazed by the powers of descriptive detail. They were very important factors to consider when I had been heavily interested in meditation, in recreating (and in some cases creating) the full experience of an environment. At that time, when I had been very involved in it, my dreams became more detailed as well...to the point I could pinch myself in dreams and feel pain, effectively convincing me I was awake.

 These immersing details, naturally, are a crucial part of any work of fiction. To carry sensations to the reader...not just recalling them vaguely as memories, but as if they are right there and then experiencing it themself. For example, tonight, while reading a passage where a character smelled a rubber eraser, for a split second I could literally smell the rubber too. When I was younger, I even developed a bad habit of biting my lip after reading a vivid description of this action in a language arts textbook (not intentionally!). In elementary school, on a few occasions I had become so engrossed in reading during free time that I hadn't realized at all that class had resumed until the teacher personally snapped me out of it.

 I suppose what I am asking you writers out there is, when coming up with excruciating degrees of sensory details...do you ever find yourself in a meditative state (intentional or otherwise) in creating these elaborate environments?

I have always enjoyed reading, but tonight I think I have discovered a new level of appreciation for it.

P.S. I wonder how I'm going to feel about this journal looking back after I get some sleep...

-A pack of apple cider scented incense that will be AMAZING if it even smells a fraction as nice burning as it does unlit

-Two boxes of really well made chopsticks from the CITS Suzhou (apparently a very fancy upscale hotel in China). Solid dark wood, and very heavy! I'd been meaning to get some decent chopsticks anyway (I generally eat better with them than with a fork actually), and only 99 cents a box! I'd have bought more for sure if they had any.

Rock Angelz Sasha! Id wanted one since she was first released, but I didnt get the chance to buy one before she completely sold out. For only a dollar, I wasnt about to leave her hanging on Value Villages wall of toys.



Whats this? Seems her previous owner was a bit scissor happy. Tsk! Oh well, I can fix this.

Materials required:

-Mug of water
-A long, sturdy needle (length is key)
-Thread
-Nail clippers, preferably dull
-Tweezers
-Replacement hair (For qualitys sake, I recommend using saran hair. My preferred supplier is http://restoredoll.com )
-An object that can be used to safely push down on the sharp end of a needle
-A large safety pin
-Scissors




First, its off with her head. To remove a Bratz head, hold the dolls neck over a mug of boiling (or near boiling) water for about 35 seconds to steam it and make the heads vinyl softer. Then, push the head down onto the neck and carefully pull it off. Take extra care if using a male doll - there is a larger neck anchor on the male body which is more prone to breaking. Other types of fashion dolls may have similar neck anchors.

Once the head is off, I recommend taking a pair of dull nail clippers to the strands of hair that have been butchered (or the whole head, if you want to do a full reroot) and pull them completely out of the head. Any remaining stubs can be removed with tweezers.



Cut a length of thread about 4-5 times the length of the dolls head and fold it in half. Stick the creased end of the thread through the eye of the needle (important: do not knot) and have an amount around the length of the dolls head laying out on the creased end.




Bend the large safety pin to approximately a 90 degree angle. Stick it into one of the holes which once contained hair, or create a new one if desired.



Remove the pin (twist it around a bit while pulling it out) and immediately insert the needle into the hole, eye down. Use a tool to direct and push the needle out the dolls neck hole (I usually use a doll hairbrush made of thick hard plastic to do this).



Remove the needle through the neck hole, while leaving the thread in place. The creased end should be hanging out the neck hole, and the loose ends should still be sticking out of the scalp.



Take a small amount of hair (look at the amount of strands in each hole on the head for an idea) and tie a knot on one end. Be sure that this is longer than it needs to be in the end, especially if you are rooting very short hair. Slip the knotted end into the loop hanging out the dolls neck hole. Then, grab the loose thread ends that are hanging out the top of the head and carefully pull until the thread loop is out of the head, and the hair is correctly in place. Repeat as many times as necessary.



Once youve finished adding hair, its time to steam the neck hole again.



Then, carefully place the head back onto the body and adjust it until it sits properly.



Brush the hair out, and trim the new strands as desired. Be careful! Cutting in small intervals can help.



Voila!

DISCLAIMER: I cant guarantee your results and suggest using a practice doll before starting on a project youre really concerned with. Needless to say, this is for dolls only.

EDIT: What happened to my apostrophes?
