Waiting for doll!

[Dirili]

Wish I could give you constructive advice...
My process of waiting for things that take a long time:

1. Before ordering spend days or weeks of research, join a forum and ask questions. (unfortunately the first forum I joined didn't give me good advice for my needs. Only found that here after I already bought several other things just for being pretty)

2. Yay! It's ordered! Woo hoo! I feel so relieved! I can finally take these Depends off and step away from the computer. Let's party!

3. ...hours later... I'm going to make this for the doll, I'm going to make that for the doll. Got to buy this stuff here because it would make a perfect dress. Maybe I'll sculpt and cast head alternates while I'm waiting in case I want to change things up some times... hmmm... can I handmake wigs on my own?

4. 3 days after the initial order I'm going stir crazy because I want my stuff NOW! Gaaaah! Why is there no time forwarding magic? *whines to people on message board about it, and they feel my pain, but most of them are interested in other kinds of dolls, not bjds).

5. Eventually join other more active doll forum because I've become totally manic and have to talk about it non-stop for a while!

6. Get convinced to buy yet ANOTHER doll while I'm wainting for the other 3 lol At this point I also realize that I SHOULD be getting back to work and stop playing, which leads to shopping, which leads to debt... but I don't wanna work! I'm not feeling it.

7. I have scared other members of the new boards and the old one away with my rampant posting and they are now deadzones where I talk to myself about how sad, bored and lonely I am waiting for my dollies T_T

8. I'm sitting on the beach of a deserted island talking to my half deflated volleyball friend Wilson.

I'm sure everyone's noticed by now... I'm a reaaaally obssessive person. I usually only obsess over one thing at a time, but sometimes more. Right now it's the darned dolls! I can't seem to shift my obsession back to work again.

Let's harness that OCD for the better of Cardassia!

When I got a pay raise I found myself having to set stricter criteria for a doll to "join" the family, and I had a rule breakers. Outside of the I don't have that for my website and the rules I've set for that any new character wanting a doll has to have a waiting period of at least a month. That way I don't add flavors to the horde that don't mix with the others. If I can combine a new character and a needed website doll the better.

Rule breakers are- If Xavier wants it, he is the only doll to get what or whomever he wants for his family (wife and kids) but he agrees to never want much. Is it on a really good sale OR can I get it as part of an event, I'm talking free doll event or fullset for the price of a nude not a free wig event, both of Xavier's kids came that way. The company is going out of business. No one else makes anything that looks remotely close.

If that doll that looked good at 2am still looks good after a night's sleep, cup of coffee, and breakfast then things look better.

For some reason buying my first BJD has made me start looking at other things I want to buy. Or maybe try to get for Christmas. I have a very giving aunt. ^_^ Currently, it's a bunch of One Piece figurines and Black Butler Nendoroids...

I'm with DK on the 'setting stricter criteria' for new additions. Right now that criteria is 'must have a character already behind him/her', as I'm still trying to sort out Oracle, my new blue skin RS Mei, as well as Keir, my tan RS Ming. Now granted, Keir will probably come together better once I can dunk him in dye, because he's supposed to be my black unicorn forest guardian. Oracle took almost a month after her arrival to even pick out a name.

awwww why dont you go to a bank and open a dolly account? and just put something there every month, and when it gets big enough by one? I did, it works well since the interest always add that little i need to get her sooner!!!. It may take a while more but its n option

hmm a criteria huh, i dont know, am currently afraid of strung dolls and like obitsu cause i am 19 and still trip over my feet and somtimes run into things etc. The last time was in school, by the time i stopped i had already flown past one side of the sidewalk to the other.......freak of nature that was. I just dont want to be playing with my dolls and i mistakenly break a leg...literally. atleast with the obitsu i can repalce the leg, with the resin...i may have to conver the doll to a pirate :S
