2. Do they have background storys? Almost all of them, yes.
3. If you were given 1500$ right now, what would you do with it? Guess I’d buy some furniture for my new home. Or a micro lens for my Nikon, or both.

Questions from PeaceLoveDreamer:

1. What was your first doll? A DollFamily Ella in normal skin. Yes, I still have her.
2. How did you get into the BJD hobby? DeviantArt’s fault. Once a friend commented a 3d pic of mine saying that “they look like dollfie”… the research started, I stumbled in DoA and Soom, and I’ve bee soomed -.- er, doomed. Sort of.

10. Do your family or friends ever say your dolls are "creepy"? Always. And they’re still waiting for me to give a damn about.

timing is everything in life, I guess.
my life is one of perfectly wrong timing ALWAYS.
I've found my perfect house in the woods. The married couple who seemed interested in buying my city house kept me on the edge for all this time, but asked for a second visit, went twice, three time to check their situation at their bank office...
Yesterday I've signed few documents for my mountain home. and yesterday evening, this couple told me they don't feel ready to buy a flat. they prefer to pay rent and stay where they are.

the good news?
in a couple of week I'll have to spend from 30 to 40 days at the hospital. it's so far from my hometown, from the family that didn't help me in anything but feeling worse, from the job I'm hating, in a place where it will be difficult to have internet and to receive phonecalls, that I'm feel a little bit relieved.

when I'll be back, I'll resume my life and will try to go on.

thank you everybody. really.
send big hugs to everyone, will be back on february!!

tomorrow some people will come to see my house. I'm selling it. I really hope they'll decide to buy it. they're fine people, I've been knowing them from 10 years now.
I need a smaller house, and I need a small house in the woods too.
please people - think about me tomorrow. a little pray if you're religious too...
it's my big chance. that house in the wood it's a dream of a whole life.
keep fingers crossed for me, my friends

so.
it's kinda serious this time.
I think I'm old enough for it (LOL).

I would like to design a couple of tattoes, mendhi inspired, for myself. both feet (diagonal, mirroring themselves), and a line on the spine, something like a reversed-T shaped flowers/points/abstract designe, from the nape to end of it. very petite at the beginning, larger at the end.

hm.
to each one his/her own cup of tea, so it's not really the design itself that bothers me to share for artistic critiques... but more... yep, like everything else ^^"
saying before that I heal pretty easily and apparently I have a above-average resistance to pain,
- how long could take a tattoo to heal?
- how much is actually painful tattoeing feet?
- does a true tattoo allow more details than the ones I've managed to get with that crappy pen of mine?
- are the brown and gold tones very difficult to achieve, and do they last on skin? do they have side effects like the red can have?
- should I make some medical exams before get my tat(s)? if yes, which ones?
- about the spinal tat: one never knows... I'd love to leave a space with no ink on it between the L3 and L4 vertebra: can a tattoist manage to identify the spot, or I'd better plan it carefully when I design the tat?
- winter magic: is it a good season for a tattoo?
- feet.... both, and resting at home a couple of days, or one at time?

everything else you can imagine, think, want to say, to suggest... well, everything. just feel free to comment and give advices, share opinions, life experiences...

... we don't even bother to run out anymore, agent. it's useless.

So.
It's true.
My collegue had the gut to say it in front of a whole squad of firefighters, but we all think it, we all know it.
We didn't bother to run out when we had earthquakes, few months ago.

Today there has just been a fake fire alarm ringing in the building where I work. There was nobody around but the ladies who take care of cleaning the place, so they called the firefighters and they came - very fast. See - I work in a university department, chemistry. teaching and researching and all that jazz. We have classrooms, but also labs, and many dangerous instruments, items, and so on. The place is old, we all know that, and there are no enough money from the government to keep it really safe.
We keep on working, because there's nothing else to do. no work, no money, you know.
It's ok. It's fine. Everyone of us knows it. Maybe not the neighbours of the houses in front of the building - they might not know that, if something blows up here really bad, they'll be gone with us all without even having the time to say 'what the fuck'.

But what shook me a little has been the quiet, calm resignation my collegue's voice had while speaking to the firefighter.

You're not expected to go to work every morning, knowing that if something happen you're so far from the next safe exit that it doesn't even worth a try to run like hell for your own life.
My parents didn't. My friends don't. There's always a safe exit near, you don't need to worry about anything but running away.
I'm back again to my desk, after a good cappuccino. I just thought, after having spoken with the firefighters, after having silenced the fake alarm because there was nobody else but me around who could do it, that if I had to die this morning, it was better passing away with something sweet and warm, sitting in a nice cafè, than at my desk at the 6th floor.

Even if... I can see mountains from here, from my windows at the 6th floor.
they're wonderful. sun is rising, and makes the snow shining with pink, and red, and blueish shades were the mountains aren't reached by its rays, and still lay in shadows.
If I'd to die here, second choice would be 6th floor, in winter. when you can see the mountains. next best thing after a good cappuccino.
