*insert generic introduction message*

I never talk on forums so I'm not even sure why I'm introducing myself.
I go by Alamentine, or Alam for short. I'm a 27 year old that people mistake as being in high school; perks for having a baby face. The one thing I enjoy the most is world-building, I've been doing it since about 4/5th grade. I have somewhere over 150 characters and 15 or so favorites at a time.

I had seen BJD doll years ago (didn't know what they were then) and thought they were gorgeous, but it wasn't until a few months ago that I went to the trouble of finding out what they were and how to get one. I eventually found one that I really liked and ordered Aiden from WithDoll last week.

I've hit a new level of impatience and anxiety waiting, I keep thinking about all the clothes and wigs I want to make for him and dress him up in. I feel like I have to occupy myself elsewhere, I suppose that's why I'm actually talking on a forum; I need something to do that isn't looking at more dolls that I like.
*sigh*, how do you deal with the waiting for a doll you're so excited about?

 

The not buying anymore in the meantime is definitely my weak point, I need to stop browsing but I can't help myself.

I'm getting him without the face-up; I'm used to painting and have looked through several tutorials on how to do face-ups, that and I don't like spending too much money on something I'm confidant I can do myself. I've already ordered any materials that I didn't have like the sealant, gloss, and chalk pastels.

I've got some plans on outfits I want to make, just need to make some patterns for them. I'll definitely look for some sewing tips for the dolls. I'm used to having something to put clothes in progress on; not having the doll makes that a bit more difficult.
