Said while restringing Ryuma tonight: Me: "Oh CRAP! I put his hands on backwards!" gelfling21: "Backwards? What to you mean?" Me: "His hands are on wrong. His thumbs are where his pinkies should be and vise versa. His hands are going in the wrong direction. I'm going to have to take his arms apart again. I'm glad he has mag-on hands." Me showing the hands to InuYasha, my S.O. : "See? This is how you can tell the hands are on wrong. The wrists magnets push the right hands away instead of attract." Me to InuYasha: You pull while I hook the correct wrists onto the string. Ready? GO! Ryu
me talking to someone who organised a GO when we make an appointment that I can pick up my doll and a friends body she ordered. "My friend will not come with me but I will take her body with me."
Me to my room mate," Can I borrow your needle nose pliers?" " Sure, what are you working on?" "Pulling Kamau's hair off." "WTF!!!??" "The lady who sold me my LT EID Iplehouse had glued velcro on his head to be his hair, it is just HAS to go!" "Ooohkhaaay....that's pretty freaky. Do you realize you don't speak English anymore, but BJDese?" " Yeah, yeah.....Now I have to find the acetone and remove his face...."
Me to my non bjd friend, " the eyes I ordered will be in in a couple days aswell as my new girl! Any day now her package will come! And her wigs too xD!" My friend " all you said was creepy you know that right? Who buys eyes for dolls 0.0?!" xD she don't understand 'laugh'
Before I got my doll, I put a post on IG, with the the doll I wanted, some eyes, a wig cap, and various other things. I said, "I reallly want this, and I want these eyes, and I want this wig cap, etc." Someone I know, but not too well, commented "thats so creepy..." I laughed and said that I can dream if I want to.
Me: "Give me,please, your eyes, I want to try them". My friend: "Wait a minute, I need to pull them out". The most funny thing about it that we got what we've said just after hearing my husband laughing loudly.
"Ok, time to lay out the body parts..." "Ok, arm, just stay there, be good." (This was when I was trying to pose him.) "Hmm, these eyes? Or these eyes?"
post office : "so what size is the parcel we are looking for?" Me: "Only a small box, it doesn't weight much, its only got a small head in it." post office : "erm.... lovely." "I can't stop touching her, she is so beautiful" "yay will be getting my new eyes in the post soon" "I'll just switch the boobs and it will all work out fine." "wait don't turn the light off yet, I forgot to put the dolls to bed"
"Ouch! His butt just pinched me!" "Nobody move, I dropped my eyes!" (I have seriously missed this thread, so happy it's started again.)
having coffee and chilling in a café, so much things can go wrong XD Bjd friend : Crap, I still haven't sand his arms and I really need to re-string him , his leg keeps popping out of his hips. And I need to re-blush his head too, it's not pink enough for his body... so much to do. Me : *laughing my head off cause the guy sitting right next to us was just staring at her dumbfounded*
On that note I have one to add since yesterday, when my package arrived from Ersa Flora in a plain brown envelope. Post office girl: "What's in there?" Me: "Hmmm… Oh, I know, it's my eyes! FINALLY!"
"My unicorn horn brings all the girls to the yard cause I'm like it's better then yours." < Goofy me at a meet up...Someone brought this awesome fantasy boy and a few of us put our ladies around him... "The famous last words of a BJD collector: "Just ONE doll." That lasted all of a week." "Were they're any survivors?" After a mass domino effect of dolls.
Me, on the phone to someone (in reference to restringing Caiden, my Elfdoll K): "Well, I'm kind of busy right now. I've got a naked boy on my dining room table who needs my attention."
Hah, this hobby really lends itself well to saying awkward things. xD After switching a doll's eyes: "I can't be bothered to put her eyes away, I'll just stick em in her head." Regarding my new Mirodoll body: "His hands are ugly, I think I'll boil and reshape them." My Dollndoll girl, after I first got her: "Her nipples are so pointy! I'm gonna sand them down a bit." And of course, whenever someone at a meet brings a boy with option parts: "Yay detachable penis! Can I see? I wanna play with it."
Which reminds me of my first thought to boys with option parts: "Most awkward Fridge Magnets ever." I remember reading somewhere someone saying: "Just stick it on like a unicorn horn." in regards to a Dragon Doll Uncle's...Mr. Happy.
Other than "I'm only getting one." Then the "Maybe one more..." And the "Okay, I'll stop at 5." Then of course the "Okay... I'll stop at [insert higher number]." "I accidentally sanded off his nipples..." "Hand me a tooth brush, I need to brush his face."
I was just having a conversation at work the other day and this is how it went down. Me: So I just bought this head and now I need to find him a body Co-worker: You just bought a head? Me: Yup Co-worker: you should put it in your sisters room. (My co-worker know that my sister is terrified of dolls) I also had this conversation with one of my friends. Me: So how's Henry doing? Friend: I keep him in a cupboard so no one touches him. Me: Yeah, I think I'll put Seth in his box when my family comes over. I don't want kids touching my boy. We got some weird looks while we were walking around and talking about our dolls since after a while we started talking about buying bodies. When I'm attempting to sew Seth clothes: don't come into my room. There's a naked boy here.
Told my boyfriend about how there are optional penises for some dolls, and that in one case they are held on with magnets. He was confused to say the least. Then I told him how sometimes dolls have magnets in their heads, wrists, and ankles to which he said "Get enough penises and it could be tentacle anime".
"I am really starting to hate your wig." The elastic in it that's meant to hold it on does the opposite.
I was waiting for the body for my new doll to come in and I told a friend who had no idea what I was talking about online, "My body is coming in the mail tomorrow!"
Said to my BFF gelfling21 while talking about my DM Catish Red Reaa girl I just got: What's cool is not only does she glow in the dark, but the holes in her stocking means that the areas that are covered are dark, so it makes patterns on her legs! And her body glows through her dress! Ryu
"Oh my god he's so big like how would I even think about taking him with me" *Looking at 60+cm dolls I cannot afford* "Haha, it's so cute and small! I want one!" *Looking at Puki's, I think at that point Pongpong and wanting one a few years ago*
"Mom, I've got a head coming in, so could you keep an eye out for it?" "Mom, does grandma have any dolls I can dissect for a project?" "Mom, where did you put my eyes?" "OKAY WHO STOLE MY WIG -___-" lol I put my mom through too much with this hobby
"He's gone from looking like a scary Nosferatu vampire to looking more like a Hobbit than vampire!" What do you guys think? Ryu
"Damn! Your eye just friggin stabbed me!" "Your ankles literally hate me" "Oh my god oh my god, where did I put your hand?! I just had it! Hands don't just run away!" Or once when family was over *Knocking at the door* "Don't come in! He's naked!"
Me, looking into a PukiPuki boot in dismay. "Crap. Her foot's still in there." Ordering a Pukifee dress: "How snug are the sleeves? I can't take Paisley's hand off, so it'll have to fit over."
"I took his head off so I could work on his face. You can have his body and do what you want with it in the mean time." My cousin visited and is making clothes for my guy, while I'll be doing his faceup. My dad was around when this happened. He turned, and gave such a curious look for a moment.

"NO NOT THE FACEEEEEE" while my friend was trying to put a wig on my doll when we got him right out of the box the first time "Wait....wait for it..*slowly backs away from the doll on the desk*..there he stands..." with my two other friends staring at me from the sides looking confused.
I'm not sure about funny things but man I bet my co-workers are getting sick of me talking about BJDs :P Whats coming in the mail, who's on my wishlist, etc. I think I need a real life BJD friend.
"I'm so glad Lillyth does not throw herself from her 7 foot perch on top of my bookshelf!" ~ said during a doll meet-up last weekend.
"Well I had to do something, he arrived with this beautifully nuanced body sculpt and then this... little peanut blob... It just looked so pathetic and fake. No one but me will ever see him fully nude, but he just looked so ...wrong without decent bits. So yes, I made him some."
Another one with eyes: "Well, darn. My eyes FINALLY got here from China but I have no idea when I'll be able to pick them up...."
"I'll be back in a minute, I've just got to go box up a head." And today at the post office... "Does this package contain any batteries?" "No. It's just a head in a box, which... uh... is inside another box."
After realizing I bought the wrong shade of mineral face powder (way too light - I'm pretty olive): "Great. I look like a white skin faceplate on a tan body!"
I said in all seriousness, "I swear I'm being haunted by a floating head and it just won't leave me alone." And of course the ever popular, "(insert doll's name here) MADE my finger push that buy button!"
"Will you hook this hand on here when I pull this other one?" "She has so much sticky nonsense in her head!" < The first time I saw eye putty.
"I need to send out my head to get a better face" - sending out a head to get a new faceup "I lost my head!!!" - restringing and not realizing that I put the head in a box so it won't get damaged. "have you seen any eye around here?" - me to my brother when he entered the room (of course he answered "I just came through the door") and I guess the worst I said was "Oh my GOD why are you naked?!" out loud when I saw my doll naked and I had guests in our house. Perfect timing.
"Her joints are kind of floppy. I need to fix that!" (said in an area where people are fond of a different kind of joint)
The other weekend when Kage arrived my friend was here to there was a lot of funny comments xD "DUDE find me a bobble or something so I don't have to play the magnet dance taking his head off!" "...which eyes are better -shoves doll head in face changing out the eyes- I NEED AN ANSWER!" "y'know he's easier to be head and reattach than the others" "YOUR LEGS BOY. CALM THEM." "he's so biiiig!" "Musou is all tight, Aria's all loose and Kage's just stiff" (i used more words but that was the summary of it) friend: -says something about penises- me: OH YEAH! I need to compare him with his brother! me: I wanna take him out with us but he's naked. friend: he has pants me: do YOU wanna carry around a mostly-naked teen? then another friend turned up after a while and the conversation turned to how it looked like Kage was either trying to kill or molest his brother... and then a few days prior when I took Aria out for the first time. Aria: -drops her care bear plush- me: damnit aria, i haven't got time for your bull! -gives it back- Aria: -does it again, like four more times each time different friends pick it up and hand it to me to give back to her- friend 3: she REALLY doesn't like it me: well i don't care because it's cute. I was chilling on some grass eating with some friends when suddenly me: ah shit. i've lost her eyelashes friend 1: wtf? friend 2: uhh -a bunch of us start looking in the grass and on our laps etc- friend 3: how the fuck do you lose and eyelash?! me: easy, I forgot to bring her face protector -shows everyone- me: gah, i'll just have to buy new ones... i just need a human with steady hands friend 1: -raises hand- i guess i'll help me: OH THANK YOU YOU WONDEROUS HUMAN friend 1: ...would normal false-eyelashes work? me: nah, i'll just order proper ones from the internet, they're not too pricey. saves cutting. and while we continued talking there were still people laughing about me loosing Aria's eyelash
Ok I said something yesterday that I cant top XD "Ive got a liter fluid latex and a whole shaven alpaca, I will be busy tonight."
This happened yesterday. "I've got my friend's underwear, I need to go get it to her, be right back." What I meant was I had underwear for her doll... But my mom's friends all misunderstood. Oh dear.
"I'll get two heads in the mail sometime soon~~~!" <= Written to a friend on facebook who did not think about my BJD hobby at that moment, since she isn't into BJDs herself. I got a nice little "WTF? O.O" back at first. XD
Dad "now that's just creepy" Me " well I can't help it" Dad " it's just unnatural" Me " well her face keeps falling off... what you want me to do about" *puts face back on* Dad "that's better"
The other day my friend and I were walking through the metrocentre (it's like a large shopping mall) and the conversation turned to money "well i'm ordering their new wigs soon" "wigs?" "well yeah - one of them is icky and the other is just wrong!" "THIS IS WHY WE CAN'T HAVE NICE THINGS DX" and not long before that I found some craft stuff "oooh this - this'll uhh -picks up store brand soft pastels-" "for your dolls?" "yeah! to do the face-stuff! but not that one -points to oil pastels- that's bad." and then on the drive home "-mentions about other doll i'm ordering soon and that i'm selling one-" "which ones that?" "not Bae, bae's the big one" "Oh yeah - the one with the big butt!" "ugh I know, his spine is curved, i need to get him a new b--" "his spine is curved 'cause he's showing off that booty!" "...but it's so annoying! i'm getting him a new body one day!"
"I can't use this drawer, it's full of disembodied jrock heads." (I have a drawer that has a few minimee heads that are awaiting their bodies.) "Babe, can you help me, I think Natalie lost an eye somehow and I need to find it." "can't talk right now, my girl is in pieces on the table." pretty sure I sound like a serial killer. :/
