BJD Confessionals

My doll must be in her pajamas before I get ready for bed.

 

1) I wash my hands more... such as when they could be no way they're dirty to keep my doll(s) clean (of course I wash my hands when appropriate too!)

1.5) my friends have to have clean hands before hold my doll(s)

2) I clean surfaces more ... (to again keep my dolls clean)

3) I have a daily routine with my doll(s), they wake up with me and then they change out of their sleeping clothes to everyday clothes, they also sleep with me. (he has a bed on my bed in a safe corner where I can't roll on him)

Yup i'm a freak.

 

All of my dolls have personalities, and my OT girl is resentful of my resin girl, Nissh, because before Nissh was around it was all about my OT girl. So I take special care of my OT doll so she doesn't do anything mean to Nissh.

(Yes, I believe one doll can do mean things to another. lol)

 

(Whew, sorry guys, this ended up being a long one.)

I have spent more money on dolls in the past year than I have on anything else in my life, aside from college I suppose....

I used to be very conservative with my money and didn't really worry about buying clothes or paying bills. Now that I've started buying dolls (and everything else that comes with them, which is probably the worst of it) I've started thinking the unthinkable: why buy a car when I could get another doll? Why would I want new clothes when I could buy my doll new clothes? Should I commit to getting a pet, or would that mean I couldn't buy any doll things anymore?

I have lots of money, but how much of it is from my student loans? I'm almost wishing I hadn't applied for loans and just spent what I had on tuition last year. Maybe I wouldn't have started spending so much on dolls if that had been the case.

I thought I wouldn't be one of those people who thinks to themselves, "It's really not that bad, there are people who spend way more than I do." Given, there are people who spend more than I do. One of my dolls was a gift, one was free, and the other two I purchased myself, but the amount I've spent in total is still so much money. I'm moving in with my boyfriend and graduating college but moving on to university, and I keep thinking... am I going to have a real problem when limited dolls that I want continue to be released and I start sacrificing basic things for them?

A good friend of mine who worked with me at the humane society is giving away her cat, and now that I'm a vet tech, moving out of the house... there shouldn't be any reason that I can't take him. I want a pet. But in hindsight I realize one of my first thoughts was, "I'm going to have to spend all this money on school and life and still want some for dolls, maybe I shouldn't get a cat." That scares me.... I would never have put an inanimate object before this cat, whom I know and love, just a couple of years ago. Now, I guess I would?

I suppose I have nothing to worry about as long as I continue to question myself and confess these sorts of thoughts.... I have been responsible with my money and all I need to do is continue to be responsible. It's just a little disturbing to think that a year ago I said I wasn't "one of those people", and now I'll spend $140 on an outfit for my doll when I'd never be caught dead spending that much on my own clothes. x_x

 

I am neglecting my house in favor of doll stuff...
My stove, AC and my TV are broken. I am hesitating getting them fixed because there is some doll stuff that I need...

 

I've spent over a thousand dollars on dolls and doll things....this year.

 

Er... ditto. And now I need to replace some stuff that the latest addition can't use... (I could have sworn there was nothing wrong with that acrylic eye when the pair first got here).

 

I have spent a lot of money on my dolls but I hesitate to spend even $20 on myself!

There is a pair of shoes I liked on ebay for $50 but I never purchased them because I thought they were expensive, however, I just spent $600 on two Azone dolls that were originally $160 but I fell in love with their faces and they were limited so I had to have them ^^;; I bought them without a second thought.

The point is, I feel guilty when I spend money on things for myself, even food but it is normal to spend $500+ on dolls =_=

Another confession, there is one limited doll that I really want and costs $1800, and I have to pay $2000 for College...I'm trying to control myself and leave that money for College!!

 

So, I'm adding to my original list. I have an eye collection. With every doll I've bought I've gotten at least 2 pair of eyes. Plus the ones I bought all on my own. I'm sitting on 15 pair of eyes between 3 dolls and 2 floating heads.

With 15 pair of eyes you'd think I'd be happy with at least one pair of eyes for my Iraki. NOPE. I need more eyes.

 

I'll get in on this....
I often break things down as such-"I spent $57. 60 today on provisions for the house, another $57 and change on XYZ that I needed...that's $114 or so...the equivalent of a down payment for a doll.."
And that goes for everything...grocery shopping, bill paying, clothing, buying my coffee...I break it down into "Doll Payments" >.<

 

When I bought my Dollmore Lillis Liv, I went and got my Dikadoll Finn head out and told him I'd bought him a friend. I swear that doll looked right down his condescending nose and said: "And not a body?!?"

 

I'd much rather spend my money on dolls than on things for myself. Doll things make me more happy than new clothes.

 

I am reconfiguring my life (which is astoundingly complicated at times) to find more time for dolls and doll people. I have been blown away by the kindness I have been shown by BJD people.
Oh and I discuss my dolls like humans. "Biddy is wondering why she is not out of her case from ACEN".
I worry they need a mother.

 

1. When I go out shopping for anything I can't NOT bring something home for my girl. She is so spoiled.

2. She's also a lot better dressed then I am.

 

Clothes shopping/ looking for clothes for myself is the dullest thing I can imagine.... Looking for doll clothes, however? That's an afternoon gone. I think it will get worse when I get my first SD- I've already bought her a dress, and I haven't even ordered her yet! 0.o

 

My dolls have WAY more interesting outfits than I do. I also wish there was somehow a way to incorporate dolly-lifting as a sport so I could work out and play with dolls at the same time.

 

Another confession...

Since it's summer and I work full time and go to College which means that I'm almost never at home except at nights. ~.~ I keep the AC on 24/7 in my room so that my dolls won't suffer the hot weather!! (I heard heat can yellow dolls)

 

I just can't motivate myself to go out and photograph my dolls. It's not that I don't want to, it's just that I can never justify leaving the house to do it. Plus, my photography skills are passable - barely. Then there's the fact that they haven't changed looks/wigs/eyes in 1-2yrs...

 

I have been working 7 months now and I not only have no savings, I am also in debt. Though, granted, I think more of the money went into my language lessons and the big holiday, but I did go on a doll buying spree from the moment I got a job. =_=

 

I spend triple as much on dolls than on food every month. At least. That pretty normal to me. My new boyfriend asked me the other day how much I spend on my hobbies and he thought that was way too much even though he is very supportive. For a very short moment I wondered if something is wrong with me^^

 

I'm willing to go hungry for a couple of months now that I learned that Dollshe is bringing back their discontinued lines for a short period of time. I only intend to spend money on my bills, and the rest is going towards a Dollshe Husky. But I live on my own, so... *shrug*

 

I have a feeling that my roommate will be getting engaged before the end of the year. Nothing's definite, I just have a feeling that her partner is going to propose. I'm already planning on turning her room into a doll room...

 

My dolls are more well dressed than me haha

 

I make silly mistakes at work and forget things because in my head I'm immersed in dolly plans (although, to be fair, if I think about actually being at work I feel as if I'll breakdown)

I ALSO have committed all of my Xmas money, plus my birthday money, plus a portion of each pay until just after Xmas to getting my next doll since I won't be able to get the sculpt anymore after the 31st.

I have an extensive database of all of my doll stuff.

I actually had to completely redo my wishlist since my old one got too ridiculous.

My Dad said he'd be annoyed if I bought more dolls in NZ, but I'm doing it anyway (I'm paying to get them here and then to take them with me in 3 years anyways)

I refuse to look at shops in town for fear of wasting possible doll money, but I browse doll shops online all the time xD

I've decided years in advance that my first house will have to have an extra room for my dolls and doll stuff.

I've planned doll photoshoots before my first doll (or the doll relevant to that shoot) arrives.

-derp- now I sound like the crazy doll lady (although people think that anyhow).

 

Sometimes I wish my dolls were real so we could hang out because I find my dolls more interesting than most people (except for those of you on here of course

 

I'm more concerned about buying things for Nadeko than I am about getting my friends and family Christmas presents
I'm making a list of clothes that I want to get my girl next year, each thing on the list is more than 10x what I would ever consider spending on clothes for myself
I worry more about buying her shoes even though mine are falling apart
I'm trying to be more social (does not like talking to people in real life) just so that she'll have some dolly friends
I'm more concerned about making sure that Nadeko looks good than I am about how I look
someone gave me money recently and my reply was "thank you, Nadeko will really appreciate it, this is going to her shoe fund"

 

I own way too many dolls, but it's so hard to choose which ones need to go...

 

the mail man knows me by name because i buy so much stuff for my dolls, and i always kiss my littlest doll good night since he's sort of like a son to me

 

When I leave for a long trip I feel depressed because I can't bring all my dolls with me XD

 

My characters have always been 'real' to me (as in, I think of them as living in some weird alternate universe or some fuzzy thing like that) - but now I'm shelling them into dolls it's much more concrete (since oops! there they ARE!). So I get certain characters (Sebastian) basically refusing to wear stuff I meant for them, & others (Jason) grabbing things bought for another - it's a morphing of the creative writing process I find very fascinating

 

Occasionally I worry new housemates will judge me for having a bunch of big creepy dolls hanging out in my room. That's why I don't let them in until they've moved in and can't leave!

 

I channel the pidgen-English of my Elfdoll Monaeme characters when speaking to my boyfriend -- which is OK and amusing to him, but sometimes I catch myself doing it around non-doll people...

 

I look at stuff for my dolls or plan for a new doll instead of paying attention in class.

 

I have a few . . . OK...
I care more about how well dressed Bee is than me!
Ive spent more on his clothes in the past three months than on me in a year!
I desire an army of Dollzone Leo's with different personalities and quirks.
I have typical dolls. I know and I dont care.
Im freaked out by bigger dolls.
I once promised myself I would never buy a doll. Now I have four!

 

I confess I haven't told a soul about the doll I have on layaway. Just you guys.

 

omg me too

 

Me three. She's a secret. My mum's going to be so cross when she sees a big doll-sized box in the mail!

 

I could spend all day shopping for cloths for my doll, accessories, wigs, eyes.... But I roll my eyes at shopping for myself... makeup pff who needs it when my Doll needs a new outfit.

I will also spend hours designing and making cloths for my doll, and wait till I'm broke frustrated and out of time to sew cosplays for myself.

 

I love this thread.

I have doll stuff shipped to my work so my Dad won't know how many doll-related packages I'm getting. Now my co-workers bug me about how many packages I'm getting!

Even if I have a doll on the way, I'm always planning which doll I'm going to get next.

I keep my dolls naked in a drawer because I'm deathly afraid they might get a stain from a wig or clothes. I tried putting special underhose on them before dressing them, but then the clothes don't fit right. I have kimonos for them but I'm so paranoid about stains, they have to sleep nude!

 

Me four? Not that the folks would care that much - I don't think they actually kept track of how many arrived last year...

 

I do this to! Also, when I see something for sale (such as doll clothing) that is placed at a really good price, people look at me like I'm crazy when I say "Wow, That's cheap!" (the price for said item was almost $100....)

 

I also forgot to mention this on my previous post:

If anyone has watched or read "a little princess": Everytime I go out of the room, I will try to go back as fast as I can to see if my doll has moved.

 

I'd never spend as much money on my own clothes as I would spend for dolly ones.
For example I'd most certainly not buy a jeans for like 50 euros but do pay that for a bjd one.

 

Whenever I have someone comming over, i always make Mizuho look in the direction of where we'll be, and occasionally say "be careful, Mizuho is watching everything you do!"

 

I also remember my doll's birthday before my family members I also buy expensive things for him but refuse to buy a 40 or 30 dollar shirt for myself sometimes. I also think of him as my child, something I have to take care of him. Sometimes I refer to him being alive,

 

I have a chair that rolls on wheels... my sewing machine is out in the loft... so before making my boy a new outfit I will roll him around the house for a little joy ride. I make sure to pass my brothers room as he macks on his gf. I try and take full advantage of the title 'creepy doll lady'

I am so guilty of that.

 

I can really relate to this: Family and dolls first.... then me last

 

only three people i know in real life know about my dolls. I live at home. My first Doll to actually arrive at home arrives potentially Tuesday...
