The blog has been slipping...




This always happens to me! I let the blogging slip and it's really hard to get it back again! It also didn't help that I went away for 2 weeks in the middle! (but I've been back for three, so that's not really a good excuse!)

I do have several blog posts which are sitting in draft heaven, so I'm going to have to go and finish them (and possibly combine them both to make it easier on me!)

The reason I blogged today and it reminded me was because I was amusing myself by reading the "confessions" on tumblr, which for the most part mainly consist of people just bitching about things they don't like or people they don't like, or people justifying when they bought a recast. (I'll talk about recasts another time, I'm still planning a blog post on my stance on recasts.)

and I came across a post about me. I'm not quite sure why, since I was attacked for daring to not like the Juri heads last year (which also prompted quite a spate of hate on tumblr) I don't tend to comment on threads anymore because it's not worth expressing your opinion.

I was vaguely amused though, apparently it's not because I take bad photos, annoy people with masses of the (same!) photos of BAs and Lishes, or that I have a "bunch" of dolls, but rather than I'm a know it all... hmm. Strange, I would have considered myself the opposite really. That and apparently I drive people out of threads with my opinions. Wow. I didn't realise one person had enough power to "drive" someone from a thread... especially since I'm not a mod.

The other thing this reminded me of was this student I have at work, who is never happy unless she is complaining (and she complains about everything... I don't think I've honestly heard a positive thing come out of her mouth for over 6 months). Even though I'll probably be blamed for "forcing" my opinions on people again, seriously, get a life. If one dissenting opinion to your own dire held beliefs is enough for you to run to the hills, you need to grow up. (And I'm shaking my head and thinking "teenagers, no maturity", lol.)

Anyway, I'm still giggling over it.

And I'll go back to my current problem - figuring out a way to photograph all of Arum's tattoos.

PS: If you haven't seen the box opening thread on DoA for the tan PKF and you're waiting for one, go check it out. They're looking good (and lighter than old tan, but as CP said, darker than the CL release).

The Slow-down: 2016-2019

Wow. I used to collect a lot, and now, I don't do a lot of collecting at all. My collection has slowed to a crawl - some of it is prob...
