Funny Things You said since getting into the Hobby!

well i told myself that I will only buy one bjd. now I have 2 already. and planning on buying a yosd

 

I remember going shopping for a pan when I was preparing to dye my SD boy, and my friend was helping me find one that would work. I didn't seem to think about what any passerbys might have thought when I said "Oh the pan has to be deep enough to AT LEAST cover the body"

 

Made me cough up my coffee!

 

"Hey, what's this?" "A detached member." The joys of unstringing a Doll Chateau male part...

"What in the world are you shipping in that huge box?"
*resigned to having this conversation at work* "A body."

"Don't mind the rattling sound, their eyes are loose in their head."

 

:: Pulls a bundle of clothing out of its wrapper and an unexpected hand falls to the floor with a clatter. ::
"Oh, I'm sorry! ...wait, why is there a hand?" :: Picks it up. :: "At least I didn't chip a nail."

"So, including the body, I got five hands and four feet in the mail today."

To mom: "You should be happy - I got one with a small bust for a change."

 

"Here, I'll hold her down. You pull her pants off."


(They were stuck )

 

Announcing a doll contest prize at a non-doll convention:
Me: And *name* won a package of EYE PUTTY!
The Crowd: Eeew.
*name*: SQUEEEEE!!!!

 

To the sorting guy in the Post Office: "Why is this package so HUGE? I was only expecting a pair of eyes!"

Turns out the notice was for my dolls' guzheng (a musical instrument that's nearly as long as my biggest girl), and not for eyes. XD

 

Me: "it's only a thousand dollars, I can eat white rice for a month"

I haven't done it yet but I've said it multiple times lol.

 

Just today -
Father: (regarding a package that just arrived from overseas) "Now you're going to be accused of colluding with Russia."
Me: "Can you imagine a government official asking what was in the package? 'Eyes! Yes, I deal in body parts. That's the hobby.'"

 

The funniest thing ever, hands down, was said not by me but by one of my housemates. He came up to me in the living room holding out a tiny scrap of pink lace and said "Dammit, Emby, would you tell Chaeri not to leave her panties in my room?"

I never go in his room, and I'm pretty sure Chaeri doesn't either. Unless one of the cats carried them off, I have no idea how they got there.

 

so far:
the S.O. says "I don't like those dolls, they are creepy", and my response: "that's the point, I like the creepy ones".
(I'm a fan of the DC, DZ, DV creations)
Glad there's an online community, otherwise - solo

 

"There's something oddly therapeutic about smearing glue on his cling-wrapped head while he's sitting on my lap."

Context: was making a wigcap for my newly-arrived LS ZhuZhao. :P

 

Things I've said that have concerned my family out of context:
"Oh no! I lost her eye!"
"Dang it her head fell off."
"Noooo, her finger broke off!"

 

"He's been under the bed for twelve years. He at least deserves eyes."

"If they want me to spend an extra $75, they'll have to make him a LOT prettier than that."

"I woke up and she was face down on the floor, bald. Then, I was like, 'Oh, right. I have a cat.'"

 

"Oops, her hair fell down again... Well, doesn't matter."

 

"Her wig knocked her headcap off again, I hope it didn't chip a (cat) ear!"

Ryu

 

"Darn, maybe I should have boiled your head instead of going straight for the sandpaper."

My poor boy got a scratch at some point and I've been mulling over if I did the right thing trying to fix it.

 

“Aww XC it’s been way too long since I’ve gotten a tiny person in the mail, but it’s so expensive maybe I’ll just order a head and get a body later” —me on the bus while looking longingly at the dolls on Alice collection

 

"Lilly is in the closet, I poked her eyes out because she looked dead"

 

"Why is it so humid? I want to take this head out, spray it so I can add more scars."

 

“I can’t believe I have to pop these eyes out again”

 

"I mounted her face on a piece of cardboard - a small face like hers is tricky to spray otherwise"

 

My husband: "whatever you do, no binding a spirit into the second hand doll. Ok? When you find the one you like, we are going to banish the heck out of it. And it cannot stay in the bedroom" (guys, I *think* my man is a little unsettled by my new hobby...)

 

“How did you twist your leg that way?”

 

that is so funny! Shipping eyes lol!

 

"This cabinet makes a nice door!"
"My boy shipped today!!"
"Please don't break your neck until I've taken the picture"

 

When my husband and I talk about "our girls" and worry someone might think we are talking about actual children instead of dolls. Or when we're super excited as we're expecting another doll in the mail and say stuff like, "I can't wait until our new girl arrives!" and hope no one thinks I'm pregnant (because I'm chubby and don't have any kids yet).

 

its really amazing the wird things you say while owening dolls aslo thinking about the weird things you buy like eyes or eyelashes

 

"I can't wait for my boy to come home, but I think COVID-19 has him stuck somewhere in Japan."

Ryu

 

"Hey Babe, can you push these eyes out of this doll's sockets? I think the putty has hardened them in"
His response? "Yeah, sure. Hand me the toothbrush"

We were literally using a rubber toothbrush end to push on the front of the eyes so they wouldn't get damaged.

 

"Her arms keep snapping back"

When your bjd is too tightly strung... rip

 

"She keeps kicking me in the hand I think I'm bruis- HURK" - Me, getting hit by sharp centaur ankle fur.

 

Me: Dear, please tell me not to shell Claudia (from Silent Hill 3.)

Sweetie: She'll impregnate Heather (shelled doll from Silent Hill 3,) then kill her!

 

"Lemme just stuff the baby in my pocket and we're ready to go"
- Me, about my Pukifee, before venturing out into our garden to get a bit of sunlight and fresh air (and take a ridiculous amount of pictures of a bald doll).

 

.

 

I've received some eyes and I was away, so I asked my husband to "Keep them in my eyes box"

"I love extra hands"

"Having heads with no body makes me anxious"

 

Me talking to my MSD while a horrifying hybrid is sitting next to her:

"Oh don't worry, that's just your mother's spare head on your brother's body."

 

"Where's the chopstick? I need to push your eyes out."

"Why won't your eye go in the way I need it to?" *sigh* "Let me take it out and try again."

Ryu

 

"I'm not taking your feet off to put on your pants!"

"Yes, let's swap. Her eyes will work much better for you."

"Typical eye. Always going the opposite direction I'm trying to move you."

 

"My body is finally here, been waiting months for it!"
and
"Here's my bag of eyes"

 

"It's in my jar of eyes."
To which my cousin responded, "Oh, of course. Everyone needs a jar of eyes...?"

 

Me: “oh shoot i lost her hand! Aauuughhh where did i put her HAND!!?!?”

 

"I am only getting one doll. I dont want any more..."

 

"If I put one on layaway it'll be fine"
*proceeds to put 5 at the same time*

 

Me (to my doll): "Hm I need to do you..."
My Mom: "But Sweety, isn't it be better if you find a real boy?"
Me:

 

"I only want male dolls ... I want a guy family"

Me: *owns two Boys and a Girl*
(Thats for that xD)

 

I have a tendency to talk to my dolls as I work on various things for/with them which, in combination to conversations with friends and family members, has resulted in many odd comments.
A few recent ones include:
“Alrighty, I’m gonna use this little stick to poke out your eyes”
“Why do you keep kicking me? Do you want clothes or not??”
“Look at her kNEES. LOOK HOW FAR THEY BEND!”
“Touch her arm, it’s so soft..”
“I need to remember to take off her hands and include them in the box when I ship their heads.”
“It makes me sad to see her arms have chopsticks at the ends instead of hands.”
“I miss when they had heads...”
“I miss my bag of eyes.”
“Is it worth it to spend 80$ on a pair of heels and a wig?”

 

I just told one of my friend: "I want to buy him a new body, because there is a event where you get some free hands or penises." sounds like I bought some kind of s**toy :'D

 

"I've got five pairs of eyes staring up at me from the bathroom counter and that's not even unusual."

 

I have your eyes hanging on the wall with your name on them!

 

I had a DSdoll snake head floating in shipping limbo for a good two months, and it was a huge relief when he finally arrived at my local post office. I went with my mom to pick him up, and every time I mentioned the word head she had to point it out. We then would laugh and move on. I'm not sure why mentioning a head in a box that just took two months to arrive after being in limbo a majority of that time was so funny, but she got a laugh out of it every time none the less

 

My partner on the post office trying to get my package while me at the phone talking...

Partner : talk to them on speaker phone I can't describe what's on your package
*hand overs the phone to the agent*
Agent : Hello sir what is in the package?
Me : its my babies head kindly hand it over, probably thats still cold and wet
Agent : ...
Partner : ...
The post office : ...
The world : ...

Me : I mean that is a head of a doll and was disinfected good upon transit from new york don't get me wrong please

 

Another one

Out of conscience with what is happening lately I kept on posting via my facebook or group pages that

Me : After so much fighting over myself I will stop buying BJDs for now as there are more important things that I should consider, so for now I will stop and wait until I got my dolls arrived to me

After few minutes later...

Me browsing on accesories

After few days later...

Me putting another doll on order

When will this stop

 

Me: “Mom, I’m expecting a head in the mail this week!”
My mom: “Is it supposed to fit the body in your closet?”
Me: “Theoretically, yes. But I might have to sand the neck a little!”

And another one:
Me, telling my brother, “So I was on my bed, trying to reassemble the body, when...”

 

“Balloon boobs. One day I will work up the nerve to sand the heck out of them.”

...to which my sister replied...
“Why? Ow.”

 

"200$ isn't THAT much"
"WHY DOESN'T YOUR HEAD MATCH YOUR BODY"
"I should buy new feet..."

and the most recent
"hehehehe, a mummy" (unboxing my doll)

 

“There are wig hairs in her joints” sounds weird in more ways than one

 

“These darn boobs just need to GO”
“Her l’il resin babyface hides a kicky nature and a will of steel”
“Doll tummies simply don’t have squish, that ‘food baby belly’ is here to stay”
“Why do you keep losing your tail, little kitty?”

 

OMG That is hilarious!
