You Know You're a BJD Dork When...

when I shop for my dolls when I actually should buy myself new Clothes.
Last clothing I bought for myself is 2 months ago while my dolls get new stuf on a regular basis.

 

When ... you walk into your favorite bookstore/coffee shop and they ask, "You didn't bring a doll?"

 

lmao yup that one is worthy lol... wow ^^ you are definitely a bjd dork... and I thought I was bad lol.

 

When you painfully dislocate your knee and tearfully tell your husband, "I think I'm too loosely strung".

 

- When you shake your dolls hand or pet them on their head when it is their birthday / anniversary.
- When you are excited about a second hand Dollheart set and exclaim to your mother "DOLLY COUTURE!".
- When you threaten people to scare them with your dolls if they don't stop being an a-hole to you.
- When your friend texts you to ask all of her dolls' names and you can easily remember them all.
- When speaking about a future fang mod plan you use the phrase "she hasn't gone to the dentist yet".
- When you have to check out the toy and craft section in every store, just in case.
- When you follow bjd confession blogs like you have a subscription to a gossip magazine.

 

When you're cleaning your doll while chatting with someone online and casually mention him kicking you in the face, only to realize belatedly that it's not normal to talk about dolls moving.

 

When you look at your legs in the mirror or anybody else's for that matter and wonder if if they have cutie legs or model legs.

 

When you launch into a long rant at the check out girl in the supermarket about how much she looks like this particular sculpt and you don't even stop to think that sounds crazy ..until you see her fearful eyes wishing you would just leave.

 

I saw a little girl come with her mom out of the school and accidentally thought to myself,
"Oh my gosh, I want that wig"
she had the cutest hair >.<

 

When you read 'blueberry' as 'Bluefairy' and wonder briefly why it's a muffin and not a doll head

 

When you need to move your clothes dresser to fix a drawer and you think "I'll have to move the dolls' dresser and it has SO much stuff piled on it, I hope I don't have to move it!" I don't want to lose any of the outfits and hats and things on it!

When you see a person and go "aww, they look like a (insert sculpt here)"... pretty much a daily occurrence for me

Also some school related stuff I've had happen recently:

Chemistry teacher writes .500M on the board... you misread it as "soom" and spend 5 minutes wondering why soom is written on the board.

When you're doing stuff in calculus and notating things like "dz" and "dt" or any other "d[variable]" terms and you're thinking of doll companies that have those initials... "dollzone, dollstown..." etc. etc.

When you're reading a poem in english and it has the word "Fairyland" in it and you spend a few moments giggling and grinning. (The Eolian Harp by Samuel Taylor Coleridge btw)

 

When talking about Face Off (favorite Sy-Fy channel TV show) I keep almost typing Faceup (if only...)

Shopping with relatives and grabby clothing that is obviously not your style (just to look) and sigh saying: "I wish this was in Yo-SD size.." Or: "I wish this was in (insert doll name here)'s size."

"WHY DIDN'T I TAKE HIM WITH ME!?" < After passing up MSD sized wicker chairs at the flea market.

- You search a jewelry store and most of Big Lots to find the match for a little keychain shoe that's MSD sized. (I found the match a month later....Now I just need to find both shoes again..XD;; )

 

When you start talking to your dolls and asking if they're excited for your incoming addition

 

When you "murder" any number of perfectly good but low end porcelain dolls that you bought thrift with a hammer so you can take their eyes, wigs, and clothes for your BJD's. I had 4 of them lined up the other day and I killed them all, sans any remorse, lol.

 

omg that's a brilliant idea!... I can't get the wig off mine (glued in a way that would just never come off usable... but the eyes! ^^ (and she isn't even cute lol... been wondering what to do with the ugly little thing ^^ time to kill my lovely

 

...you go to a theater reperentation and comment to your sister:
"Hey, the main character is wearing a fur wig"
And your sister answers:
"Yeah, a nice one. and he is really a beautyful shade of white skin."

 

You get soooo many international packages in the mail that the mailman wants to know what's in them! And you then you find yourself explaining your dolly collection to a civil service employee standing in your living room! (the up side is that he was so intrigued with the SD dolls that he now wants to know what I have bought for them when a big new foreign package arrives from some exotic locale like Russia, Poland, or Spain and wants to see the new ones.)

yep...dolly dork here!

 

OMG!! I JUST did this TODAY!!

 

You stand excitedly in front of the bathroom mirror with your newly acquired SoulDoll Yeon-Bee to take a 'selfie" for Facebook and realize it is your 60th birthday and you are making photos of yourself with a new doll!

 

When you stop feeling squeamish when looking at bodies to see posability.

When your friends don't question anything and agree with you on what wigs look good.

"Well...She needs a sister." "He needs a little brother." "I should give them a son..."

 

I love you! That is so cute! I had to wait until I was 61 to get a birthday photo with my boys, but I had three by that time. The first one came two months too late for my 60th birthday.

And to also verify my BJD Dorkyness. I carry a partial copy of Ash's hand to see if the object in question is the right scale.

 

Ahhh! I love you back! Never too old to geek out over my lovelies! Thanks for the affirmation!

 

Feh, I just carry an entire doll!



I'm catching up to you two in age, but I just tell people I'm "31+" when they ask.

Ryu

 

My granddaughter would die if I carried around any of my dolls - except to the bookstore, and when she's not there, preferably - since she works there after school. My friends (owner and regular customers) at the bookstore like my boys too!
I love the I'm a boy pin, most think my boys are girls too.

I took one with us once and stopped for some photos at some cool old buildings, my gdaughter hid low in the seat while she waited on us.

 

I'm glad my kid isn't embarrassed, especially since I once took Tatsuha hiking with me in a local park...with my kid and her family. Some of the other hikers were fascinated with him!

How about...you know you're a BJD dork when you take a 70cm doll hiking with you just to get some great shots!




Oh MAN were my arms tired by the end of that day, but the photos I got made it worth it!

Ryu

 

"I have more chance of winning the VOLKS Lottery then getting past 5 on Flappy Bird..."

 

This is genius! And kind of a cool keychain....

 

When you take a msd doll to the movies because their character LOVES the Hobbit XD

 

When you dedicate a shopping trip just for tiny Easter things (baskets, chocolate, toys) because you want to have an Easter Egg Hunt with your dolls.

 

When you hold up potential new 'family members' pictures to one of your favorite dolls to see if they'll look good next to the,. (Avalon I swear is the deciding factor half the time for at least boys...Reason I DON'T have a boy MSD yet besides him. XD; )

 

You know your a bjd dork when you seriously consider buying Loong Sool's dolls limited's to be 'accessories' to Iplehouse's new theme of dolls ><.

 

I did that too!

...when you took your MNF to see all the Harry Potter movies cosplaying as Tonks because she's such a fan!

Ryu

 

I think that is a clever idea. I may need to do something similar myself.


When I start to drift off the sleep, I tend to dream about what my dolls did with their day or will be doing the next day.

 

You know you're a bjd dork when your doll not only has his own laptop, but is sitting beside you using it.

 

When you have dreams about BJDs two nights in a row... apparently my subconscious is telling me to get a smiling doll because yesterday night's was about a tanned elf eared delf yder that had a smile (something that only exists in my dreams ) and last night's was about an unoa l-bi... Kinda sad because in each dream I owned the doll in question only to wake up and realize it was a dream...

 

You have to apologize for talking about dolls too much and have to keep track of how much you talk about them so you know when you're getting carried away

You check everything miniaturized you see to see if it'd be in scale to your dolls

You look in the dollar tree toy aisles for in-scale items

You compare cute people to sculpts you like

You call your boyfriend an Iplehouse EID to indicate that his face is attractive

You wake up in the middle of the night and position your dolls away from the window

 

When you measure amounts of money over $100 in terms of dolls...

 

When you have nearly a thousand bjd related bookmarks >.>;

 

When you find yourself reading the "you know you are a bjd dork when...." Thread.^_~

 

Exactly,and when you check the newest one to see if they are dorkier than you!

 

When you put in 'bjd' in the ebay search and end up with 30k results and you look at all of them >w>;;;;;

Also when you have hundreds upon hundreds of this and that wishlisted, be it dolls, wigs eyes, props, clothes etc

 

...You read in the paper that Michelangelo's David has "weak ankles" and you think, "He's just like a BJD!"

:p

 

Your first thought on getting a paid internship is "Yay! Doll money!" You get super diligent about checking your email when your waiting for a shipping notice.

 

When I find myself looking at the same pic of the doll I want to order, every day while I wait to save my money... x.x;

 

When I start to have thought conversations with a doll because it would be weird to say them out loud or when I keep on talking to my coworkers about my dolls.

 

When you have 11 Pinterest boards dedicated to BJD stuff and it takes up more than half your overall pins.

... And when you spam everyone on your Facebook with photos of your dolls. :3

 

... when you catch yourself saying things like "I need to have all my laundry done by Sunday because I'm picking up my new girl on Monday and I need to spray MSC on the balcony."

 

When I realized that my doll's clothing was more designer than any of my stuff would ever be....

 

Seriously doing this every day right now. The pic is opened in another tab and I refuse to close it until I get my doll!!

Also, when you go out to thrift stores on your days off and spend hours looking for tiny doll-sized furniture. Or when you see someone wearing a cute material and you think about how awesome that would look as an outfit on your doll (and then you almost ask them where they got that shirt, thinking about going and buying one too just so you can cut it up and make doll clothing out of it. And then you realize how ridiculous that sounds and forget about the damn shirt).

 

When the top five websites that I go to everyday are DoA, Mirodoll, Youtube for doll vids, Facebook for doll groups and Ebay for doll crap.

 

When you open up the closet door, and the wave of resin-heavy air coming out makes you wish it would stick to your clothes, so you'd smell like a BJD yourself .
It's a pity my new boy doesn't have a better place to sleep yet than my clothing closet. This is just temporary, until we get a proper display cabinet.

 

Oh my goodness, I just noticed this about my dolls, I have to keep them in an under bed storage box at the moment and it's smell so strongly when I open it! My dolls are soo old so I guess it never leaves them!

 

I have another one :
When you want to type "facebook" in your browser, and what you get is "faceup" instead.

 

when you have a notebook/folder with details of all the doll stuff you've bought and realize that you spend more on them then yourself (really my bjd's clothes are more expensive then any of the clothes I own lol)

 

or when all your pinned pages on your computer are doll site's or doll related

 

You know when the hi-light of your day is getting a dolls elbow joint to do what you want... after 3 days of trying. Note: "just" that one joint, not a whole pose...

 

someone said this person/quote belonged in here... they were right lol. Quote taken from the Iplehouse Waiting room thread ;p

Jacobean is definitely a BJDDork for that one! lol

 

That moments when you are talking to a none doll friend about dolls and you say something along the lines of "She is only $200! This is such a great deal!" And then they give you the look

. I never thought I would use the phrase "only x-hundred dollars" in regards to dolls ever!

 

When your BJD bookmark folder has more links than your K-pop video folder.
