Pop goes the Wallet

That dreadful yet exhilarating moment when you've bought something that comes at the expense of a popped wallet. You guessed it, Iv'e gone and done an impulse buy.
I like impulse buys—when I have money. 
Its quick, gratifying, and shoots excitement through your system because you know your beloved item will come swooping through the mail anytime soon.
It's the complete opposite of waiting agonizingly as you save up for that one colossal purchase, then rolling in torment as the lingering days of shipping increase your woes. 
What could be worse?

Probably a layaway plan.


Though I admit Layaway is much more appealing then charging my credit card. I really can do without the interest, and heavens knows how enticing it would be to only pay the "minimum" each month. 

I would like to stay debt free till thirty, thank you. 

I'm sure you are all wondering, "whats so great that you had to buy it within minutes CC?"

Well I've been eyeing this sucker for quite sometime now. And all of a sudden it's on sale, and never being produced again.
It was a Migidoll Ryu Head.
I swear my neck cracked as it narrowed in on this guy.
I had been probably watching this sculpt for about a year now, and even though I really shouldn't, I did. 
As much as I detest Layaway I actually put a 100$ head on a plan. It was laughable, but my wallet thanks me graciously.

I wanted him in "suntan" but had to settle for normal skin...Boo.


So now I'm adding another floating head to what I call the stake fence (A gruesome place where heads are stuck till they manage to grab a body). 

I don't have any plans for him yet, though I love his little smirk, so if I ever scrap up enough money, I'll send him off to get painted by someone who knows what they're doing! 

Now to go hunting for a body,

Wish me luck!

A Hunting I Will Go

Sometimes I feel I am similar to a bloodhound. Quite useless in solving mysteries but entirely reliant once hunting random items on the internet in my spare time!

Of course this talent seems to disappear when real life needs arise, such as finding the nearest psychiatrist for a kooky neighbor, whom I had heavily advised to see a shrink. 

But I found over the years and over the course of many disappointing life directions, I have never found myself happier then trying to find a rare limited edition version of a 2013 Christmas ornament based on Tim Burton's Corpse Bride.

What I mean to say is, I live for the hunt, and it has brought me many nice experiences, like my first trip to Disneyworld which required months of avid searching (I had to know which cupcake variant was the best across Magic kingdom park)and of course collecting my first ever BJD...AKA a Ball jointed doll. A resin creation quite creepy to see at first, but warms the heart once hair and eyes are applied(hah). And although my family is extremely reluctant to welcome this new obsession into the household, I cant say I will ever go back. 

In present, they helplessly watch as I spend ridiculous amounts of money on child sized figures who will all probably end up killing me in my sleep.

That would be a bummer...

If I don't write in a couple of weeks, you all can assume what happened to me.
