What's the most endearing thing a person (non-collector) has said about your toys or you as a collector?

( My Thanksgiving )

Leave a comment if you'd like me to tell you what I *really* feel about you.

1) Tell you why I friended you.
2) Associate you with something - fandom, a song, a color, a photo, etc.
3) Tell you something I like about you.
4) Tell you a memory I have of you.
5) Associate you with a character/pairing.
6) Ask something I've always wanted to know about you.
7) Tell you my favourite user pic of yours.
8) Post this on your LJ and start all of again.

C'mon, you know you want to. *peer pressures you*

The fires are getting closer and closer.
Everything is starting to smell like burning.
There's no sense in washing my car cuz it'll be covered in ash anyway.

I'm safe from the flames, but with the 70+ MPH winds blowing everything over and closing all the freeways leading to my house, I can't help but think this is Armageddon in the process.

Please keep an open heart for my friends and family that have been evacuated and/or have lost their homes in the San Diego fires.



It's all so frightening.
I pray for containment, peace and for all that has been lost to be found again, renewed and replenished.

Thanks for the read.
I love you all, LJ friends.

Support my cousin: Lovely Leis. She is an official vendor at Long Beach Pride this year. We've been busting our asses to get all our inventory together for the event! If you're local, stop by and holla at yo boy.

Anyway....

How you all like my new layout? I'm in love with my Misaki...she photographs strangely at times, other times like a dream. Too bad she, nor any of my other dolls, friends or endeavors, won't get any love until next week. I'm exhausted like a motherfather.

Hi all.

Yeah, I like totally suck and dropped off the face of the earth for a hot minute! Hard times, yah'll, hard times.

First, I moved! I was in the making of getting a really swanky two bed/two bath with my brother who just moved back to California, but my plans fell through very last minute. And I'm talkin' all-I-needed-were-the-keys, three-days-before-I-have-to-vacate last minute. It totally threw me for a loop and the entire, all-too-stressful debacle left me physically ill. Fortunately, I did find a place in time to make use of my U-Haul reservation, but it's a 45 minute commute in the morning and hour and a half in the afternoon. >_-;

I count my blessings though because I did find a place, am in good company and am regaining my health. I actually had to call in sick this past Monday because I couldn't move and started to black out while I was getting ready for work. Not fun. The stress of moving (and all associated...costs....) all finally coalesced, and took its toll on my body, even though my spirit (and mind) are moving a mile a minute. I'm trying to teach myself to cut back on stressing over everything and anything, else I suffer an anxiety attack...which I imagine is imminent if I don't cut it the fuck out.

Um, yeah, I hate being emo. Terrible, terrible thing for a grown boy like me.

MOVING IS A BITCH. Especially if you have to do it by yourself. What makes it worse is when your brother flakes on you because he got drunk the morning of. Ugh. All water under the bridge now though. I'm moved and taking it step-by-step. I still have a gang of stuff in my car (I don't know how my trunk is actually staying shut), but I know I have all the time in the world to take care of it.

In moving, I realized I have entirely too many toys. Ha, I say it like its a bad thing! But packing all that shit up made me re-evaluate my spending and buying habits and loathe toys. And its funny I say that because during the moving process, I hit up eBay like a madman and won all this awesome shit!! Aye, chico. So now that I'm finally here, I think I'll take a break from buying and actually work with all the great stuff I have. Like Confucious says, "It is better to want what you have than have what you want." I don't think I could ever live by a better mantra.

A list of some of the crap I bought in the last month that I haven't yet opened or played with yet:

Rare Find Isha
Living Dangerously Kyori
Glamour To Go Adele
Tete-a-tete Pierre
Foxy Lady RuPaul (nude)
Cool Girl Motoko Kusanagi
Winter Ball Giselle (nude)
Sailor Sweeties Kennedy & Chelsea
Juicy Bling Madison
Bratz Twiinz Oriana & Valentina
Babyz Twiinz Tess & Nona
Aurra Sing (loose)
G.I. Joe Stalker
[some weird G.I. Joe villian with a rockin' headmold]
Naruto, Naruto v. 2 & Rock Lee Deluxe Naruto figures
Winkie Guard & Winged Monkey
Wicked Witch of the West
Stolen Magic Barbie
3 Hottiez dolls

In the coming weeks, I will be preparing a list of toys I insist must leave me, including a lot of older, nude Bratz (haven't decided who yet), Barbie, clothes and accessories...all choice junk, if you ask me. With luck, I'll make enough to get my line together in time for third quarter 2007! Watch out now. Hehe....

Off to Vegas for the weekend! Keep it fresh, kids.



P.S. HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY, ANDREW! I still have your birthday presents, but thanks for bearing with me! Hope all your doll, boy and book wishes came true, come true and will come true this year. Congratulations on joining the Old Man Club! :)
