Who was your first doll? Do you still own him, her, or it?
My first doll was an old skin MSD Ken.  I no longer have him, but I miss him.  I believe he still belongs to Kasviel.

Who is your favorite doll?
I think Rory is still my favorite.  He’s my SD13 Link.  I bought him for myself for Christmas when I was living in Japan.  He was a Standard Fair Link from the very first release, and when I saw him at Volks I was like “Eww.  Fug.”  But then for some reason, he REALLY grew on me and I ended up choosing him for my first SD-sized doll.  Over the 7 1/2 years I’ve had him, I’ve repainted him probably 5 times and heavily modified his face.  He’s beautiful to me, the character is very special, and his history is very special.  He’s just great.

Which doll do you hope or plan to buy next?
I think I’d like to get an SD17 body for Vanilla so he can be all one brand.

Quick! You’ve instantly got $800 and must choose a doll to spend it on right now or it’s gone forever! Who do you pick?
For $800…?  If I could find a Euclase (human body, either head), he would be my first choice.

Quick! You’ve instantly got enough money for any one and must choose a doll to spend it on right now or it’s gone forever, but this time you have to buy the doll for someone else! Who gets the dolly, and what do you get them?
Ah… I think I’d get a Volks Tae for Mandy.

Are you currently waiting on any dolls, heads, or bodies?
Nope.

Do any of your dolls seem to like you to the point that they are infatuated with you?
What…?

Do any of your dolls seem to dislike or even hate you?
My dolls aren’t sentient.  If I thought they were, and if I thought they were against me, they would be gone.

Who’s your most expensive doll at the time you purchased them, not counting items you bought separately for them?
Proof, my Tsukasa.

Who’s the least expensive doll you own?
I’m not sure.  I’ve received some dolls as gifts.. or through series of remarkable trades.

Is there a limit to what you’d spend on a doll?
Yes, though it’s not set in stone as to what it is.  If I look at the price and feel vaguely ill, it’s over my limit.  What makes me ill at any given time might vary based on my mood, real-life demands on my money, and how in love I am with whatever I’m considering.

Which doll did you wait for the longest for so far?
I’m not sure.  I think my Soom Euclase (whom I no longer own).

Which doll had the shortest wait so far?
My LUTS Soony (whom I no longer own).  It was when I lived in Japan.  She shipped the day I ordered her… and I had her the next day.

Who’s the biggest doll you own?

Sherlock is 75cm.  He’s is gargantuan.

Who’s the smallest doll you own?
Technically it’s my Inkling, though I don’t actually think of her as a doll.  I don’t know why.  For dolls I didn’t make, it’s a toss up between any of the Yo-sized dolls.

Got any floating heads? If yes, how likely are they to receive bodies anytime soon?
I do, but I’m trying to sell them.

Got any floating bodies?
I think I technically do.

Do you have any extra, unclaimed pairs of eyes? How many if so?
I think I have 20-ish pairs… maybe more.  Varying materials and price ranges.

Do you have any extra, unclaimed wigs? How many if so?
Yes.  God yes.

Anything you’ve said “never” to in the hobby that you later gave in to?
Yes.

Do you own dolls that aren’t BJDs?
I have 1/6th volks dolls, customize figure kits, Monster High… I really want a Blythe but haven’t taken the plunge yet.

What was your last doll-related purchase?
BJD-related, I think it was actually Dollzone Moment (who didn’t actually stay).

What do you expect your next doll-related purchase to be?
Either an SD17 body or a replacement for Cupcake who is more realistic.

What was the last doll-related thing to arrive to you by mail?
Dollzone Moment, I think.

What was the last doll-related thing you purchased in person?
I think the clothes I bought at NY Dolpa two years ago.

Not counting floating heads, floating bodies, and anything on layaway (paid off dolls count), how many dolls do you own?
18?

The quiz is over! Any last words?
Oh god.

Every couple years, I revisit sculpting materials I’ve tried before.  I have been playing with Super Sculpey again in the hope that I would like it this time… I know a bunch of other doll artists who use it as their primary medium.  I’m just awful with it.

Part of it is that Sculpey’s translucence makes it hard for me to see what I’m doing.  Soooo I primed the head I’ve been fiddling with to see what was going on.

It’s soooo lumpy and baaaaad. >_<  I also knocked it over while I was priming and mussed the chin and broke the ear. TOT  I haaaate Sculpey!

I’m probably going to junk mold it so I can keep playing with it.

I’m also going to be molding the CAM replacement torso I sculpted…

And… finally… I’m going to mold Starling.  Silicone’s been ordered and the weather is warm enough that I shouldn’t have cure inhibition.  I just need to get back to doing this thing.  She’s been sitting in a box, finished, for 5 months.

Been sculpting a bit.  Just warming up to get back to work, I guess.

Man does it irritate me off when people spread rumors about the Mod staff on DoA.  This one about us all secretly owning recasts REALLY pisses me off…. there’s absolutely no basis for it.

I have 207 unread emails and 508 unread PMs on DoA.  I don’t know what’s wrong with me, I just can’t bring myself to open them… and responding is just out of the question.

And now it’s off to Etsy:

http://www.etsy.com/shop/armeleia

A couple are sold already… which is nice because it means I can afford the plane ticket to go visit my mom in May.  I was shocked by the price of the ticket. >_<  The airline industry and the postal service as busy sinking themselves.

“What did you do this week, Aimee?”

“I watched Dr. Who and painted dolls.”

“Anything else?”

“Not really, no.”

Been stressed out lately… and when I get home, I just want to curl into my end of the couch and watch movies and paint dolls.  So I have!  We finished the 9th Doctor and we’re on to David Tennant… I don’t know yet if I like him.  I really liked Christopher Eckleston and I miss him.

Anyway, these dolls go to Etsy tomorrow.

Truffle likes to lie on the back of the couch in the evenings, like a cat.  Tonight I picked up my camera and snapped a picture because she looked so damn cute.

Then she started to yawn.  I happened to have the camera in continuous shooting mode, so I took pics.  When I went through them, I was like OMG, she just gets cuter as the yawn goes on…

Until…

OMG.  WTF is that, Truffle?

I am having a really hard time today.

I haven’t spent much time on the computer, really… I’ve been busy and I’m also having some issues.  It seems like we’ve been in crisis mode since mid-December and it just hasn’t settled down.  Today marked one of the first mornings in a month that I didn’t wake up with shooting pain through my left wrist, coupled with the icky icky feeling of the bones moving and grinding around when I move my hand.  My wrist goes out of joint pretty easily, then it gets swollen and the bones can’t move back without my going to the chiropractor.  It’s frustrating and painful.  It still hurts today, but it seems much better and I am hoping it will just gradually improve so I can fully resume two-handed tasks like sculpting and typing!

I’ve been painting Monster High, which is good… also been thinking that I would start working on some silks again soon.  I have a lot of things I want to do…

I hope everyone else is doing well, or at least keeping on keeping on.  Hanging in here. :)
