Dear My Scene Fans,

Well, I was actually able to exchange that 3-tiered candelabrum TODAY! Cool! It's turned on in my room right now, and it looks pretty.

I just now modified Sophina's hairstyle, and I'm loving, AND hating, her new hairstyle, 'cause by giving her bangs, I took away some of the thickness of her hair. Oh, well. Not ALL of the Moxie Girlz should sport the exact same hairstyle!

I've been organizing my newly denuded room, and I've actually decided to sell about 7 of my NRFB (and one lightly played with) Barbie dolls. I may offer a few of them here sometime.

I'm going to try to keep working on some of my new stories/ screenplays, and I may change the hair color of Calmay's mother from blonde to black...OR to brown...or...?

Thanks in advance for your replies.

Dear My Scene Fans,

As of yesterday, I believe that there are actually three things wrong with me, including the heart condition. I sometimes research various conditions on the net, so that I might be able to tell the doctors about my correct diagnosis before they officially diagnose me.

So, my complications now actually total more than 3, if one counts a major hearing loss in one ear (thank goodness it's not both ears), the need for glasses, etc. Well, the list could go on slightly, of course...but the main complications are:

* Heart condition
* Looking about 12 (?) at 30 (That's all relative, now that many girls are at 8 where my generation's girls were at 12...)
* The condition which I will not name, but which makes average living impossible in some ways...

Speaking of such subjects, I just re-watched "Orphan", and I love it again. I can totally identify with the end credits, with the exception of the image of Esther painting her nails in a messy, crazy way. I would NEVER be so careless; I'd try to apply the paint more than perfectly no matter WHERE I was, or WHAT I'd been/ was going to be doing later. Then again, I'd NEVER sit on the floor of a public restroom if I wanted to have a meltdown; I'd probably just cuss a lot. That Esther was like a rabid black bear, fer shurr!

Well, I'll probably type more later...

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Well, it's now about 8:10 P.M. here, and I've been both entertained AND scared this evening.

I was scared when I received a call from my grandmother (on my father's sde). She kept talking about how she'd seen a glowing fairy...somewhere around a hospital, and she kept saying that if I look closely enough, I'll be able to see a glowing fairy somewhere, too. I was literally frightened. I mean, Grandma is a very imaginative Pisces, like me, so I shouldn't have been scared, but somehow, what she was saying seemed to be SO impossible that I was totally scared! I can't exactly think very well, or very rightly, when I've been scared in that way.

After dinner, I was getting ready to go into the bathroom, when someone else from my family came running past me, shouting, "No! No!", as though they were auditioning for a remake of "Natty Gann"! We only have one bathroom, so I'd have been in real trouble if I'd taken the bathroom this time. I went wild with laughter, even after they were out of the bathroom, and then when I was in the bathroom, I let one go in such a loud, and weird, way that I laughed even more! What a weird evening! It's a good thing that we weren't all eating in a public place this evening, or I'd have been really embarrassed...

We've mostly been watching the tube and organizing our stuff, so I've yet to carve our Halloween pumpkin.

Thanks in advance for your replies.
:shock:

Jeannie · **Posted:** Mon Nov 02, 2009 3:40 am

Dear My Scene Fans,

Well, I never did carve that pumpkin, but, due to that fact, my family can utilize it for something yummy during the future.

Yesterday wasn't a very good day for me. I was in a bad mood when I was broadcasting, and I was in a bad mood during the rest of the day, and the night, until I found the Lifesavers!

I feel sorry for my family, 'cause I was a grouch, and, all the while, someone from my family was helping me to organize my room; they were forcing me to be realistic about which items I really needed, and I was behaving in a similar fashion as Gus Gus from "Cinderella", when he absolutely will NOT let that piece of corn go! :lol:

I managed to let a few cherished relics slip through my fingers; I even allowed some of them to be photographed, with the understanding that I could only keep the photos.

The person who was helping me apologized for removing everything from my room, but I said that what they'd done was for the best. For once, I'm truly being forced to be just brutal about every piece of "stuff" that's been collecting dust in my room for literally years!

I've decided that I should try to become more healthy. I'm going to try to eat more fruits and veggies, and I am fer SHURR gonna stop talking to the jerks who frequent that cafe! I'm just going to have someone from my family pick me up, so that if the card-playing person who drops me off wants to stay for a few games, they can do so in such a way that I don't have to suffer from the idiocy of those who'd rather have me for sport than for a conversational companion. I mean, for a guy to turn to someone who's just walked into the cafe, and say something like, "Now that I'm leaving, she can flirt with YOU!" is just unadulteratedly insulting! The guy who said that (A&W) was also the one who waved me over to him the minute that I walked into the cafe! I'm gonna be so absent from now on that those guys are gonna wonder if I was washed away from the scene with Ivory!

I'm worried about the other guy who was in the cafe, though...you know...The Photographer. He said that he'd barfed up some object, hallucinated, etc., and that he still felt sick. Later, while talking about the sitch with someone from my family, I was lambasted for not thinking about Swine Flu! EEK! Why do people go to public eateries when they're still SICK? WHY?

I gave three of my old, classic Disney dolls to the trash can yesterday. What a sad moment...

Thanks in advance for your replies.

Dear My Scene Fans,

Today hasn't been the best day for me. I watched both "Springer" and "Maury", and I ate two meals, but the day wasn't that cool.

Someone from my family did something totally, and obviously, gross (cleanliness-wise), and I was upset with them, and they immediately left. It turns out that I couldn't really avoid being impacted by what they'd done, anyway! EEK!

Well, anyway, I was super upset after they left; I find that I'm often upset these days. I wish that I didn't make so many wild, foolish statements when I was upset, and I wish that I could be more calm, with regards to the way by which I led my life, because stress and chest pain really aren't my favorite feelings to deal with. I'm also worried about matters of luck, fate, and superstition, where comments which were made in anger are concerned.

I'm sometimes surprised that I can be furious one minute, and calmer than ever just an hour or so later...I'd love to be as perpetually Yoga-calm as TCE, but that's not usually what occurs.

I should've worked on one of my many unfinished stories today. I'm STILL trying to figure out how I'm going to turn that image of the magical girl in a tubfull of suds into a fantasy story! Should she REALLY be the alter ego of an average woman? Hmmm...

Today, someone suggested that I've actually been gaining weight because I'm not the Queen of the Maruchan Instant Lunch anymore. I wonder...my complexion improved after college, anyway...

I should try to have a fun, relaxing evening, in order to make up for today's furious rant. A new, Chinese comforter that was SUPPOSED to go to a family bed other than mine is now mine (it was too small for its intended bed), and it was sooo warm last night...what comfort! I simply hadn't the time to think of anything, because I was soon asleep under a blanket of total warmth.

Thanks in advance for your replies.

Dear My Scene Fans,

Well, Wednesday was pure Hell for me. I tried repeatedly to make a statement (about some injustices that I had perceived to have taken place) to more than one person from my family, and what began as a small argument became a terrible day of arguing, etc. I even decided to hurt myself worse than the person who was hurting me, but I refused to reveal what I'd hit myself forcefully on the head with...a C battery. I also dared them to hit me again, and again, and again, and they actually did so. I must admit that I am becoming better and better at surviving arguments. I can deal with a bare hand, magazines, shoes, dish towels around my wrists, etc. I can even deal with someone who threatens to stay in my room all night unless I stop crying.

Well, yesterday, I woke up, at about 8 A.M., after having gotten only a few hours of sleep, and I finally decided to tell the one person who was being really mean towards me that I was genuinely sad, depressed, etc. I was also totally furious, but I was determined to get that person to listen to me, and besides, I WAS sad, for various reasons. The afternoon was actually fairly successful, despite a few arguments.

If you think that my entire situation is insane...you're more or less right. I only know that I am where I am because of medical, familial, and psychological circumstances.

Well, this morning, I'm upset...AGAIN...only THIS time, I'm upset about the news about those attacks at the military base! I won't be politically incorrect, but I'll say that I feel only hatred, and that if I were the mother, the wife, the girlfriend, or the sister, of one of those victims, there'd be a little situation regarding...well, you all know the rest...let's just say that it's a darned good thing that I'm not related to any of the victims...

I can only say that I hate the war, our enemies (the terrorists), America's trust of her enemies, and this hideous milk bath of political correctness that's smothering America's rightful thoughts; bathing the nation in political correctness is like putting hand lotion, instead of Neosporin, on a deep wound, because that sort of a practice doesn't allow political correctness to . America has become the piece of bread that's pinned to the perverbial frat house wall, and her enemies are making one heck of a slutty fool of her! America must make certain that that sort of insidious activity does not happen ever again! I apologize if I've offended any frat guys who DON'T play the "Bread" game.

Well, I've been going through more of my personal belongings, and I've actually gotten rid of some of my junk jewelry! There may be hope for my room after all...

Thanks in advance for your replies.

Dear My Scene Fans,

Well, Saturday's domestic dispute led to me becoming so enraged about the arguing that I swept everything from a table, before leaving the house to chase down someone who wasn't going to take me with them, anyway.

I feel badly now, because I totally knocked both a lamp, AND a cool glass container to the floor, leaving a mess of shattered glass for someone else to clean up. I didn't care about the situation then, but I feel badly. My acrylic acorns have nothing to be displayed in, so I'm going to replace the jar with a prettier one, AND I'm going to get something for the person who cleaned up the mess, which I hadn't even noticed when I'd left the house.

Yesterday, I reconnected with the person who had deserted me, and who had then come back to take me away from the house, but we BOTH felt awkward around the person who'd been causing some of the trouble.

I guess that I'm sort of the type who likes to be dramatic. I can scream more loudly than anybody else in the entire house, and I usually say that I'm going to be more dramatic than anybody else. I'm usually deciding that if someone else is going to hit me with a newspaper, then I'M going to hit MYSELF with a battery, or a box, or something that's far WORSE!

I mean, the craziness has never gone away. I was once forced to get into the shower...in my clothing, and kitchen hand soap was poured onto me, so that it's a wonder that I didn't fall...Well, anyway, Ivory hand soap actually takes care of dirty hair better than shampoo, anyway...

I will never raise children, 'cause I was raised to learn to have too much of a temper, and the very person who's always being cruel towards me keeps saying, "You'd make a wonderful mother." Ha...ha...ha...I haven't patience with dirt, snot, germs, bodily fluids, imperfection, physical defect, embarrassing wording, etc.

I am only glad that I know myself well enough to know that I'd be dreadful, with regards to either marriage OR child-rearing.

I'm hoping that the rest of the week is more relaxing...

Thanks in advance for your replies.

Dear My Scene Fans,

I recently watched something that had something to do with my life, and I felt very grateful to know that that sort of program was able to be watched.

I also finished working on the next part of my "Rumpelstiltskin"-type story! I wrote the heroine's sad song, and I wrote a seductive introduction song for the Rumpelstiltskin character! I really want to finish the songs, type a screenplay, and record the songs...for future use...

Thanks in advance for your replies.
:idea:

Jeannie · **Posted:** Wed Nov 18, 2009 2:25 am

Dear My Scene Fans,

Yesterday, I thought of some cool "Rumpelstiltskin" song lyrics...while I was taking my shower! :lol:

I should work on that story later.

I took some money from the bank, and I got a few cool items at Big KMart, including...a few flicker candles!

I wish that my Cardiology appointment wasn't occurring today; I'll have to go to the city, see my doctor, and face her when she tells me that she knows about my other medical condition...I'm certain that the other doctor has told her about me by now. I don't want to hear the lectures that will ensue, with regards to my not taking care of several aspects of my overall health. I'm also not eager to admit that I haven't had my pacemaker check yet, or that I haven't had that scan!

I guess that I'm just super spoiled, and lazy. Call me Charlotte La Bouff! :lol:

I only hope that I can stay in a "Rumpelstiltskin" sort of a mood for the next few months, because my recent dream involves pitching my rendition of the story...

Thanks in advance for your replies.

Jeannie · **Posted:** Mon Nov 23, 2009 3:59 am

Dear My Scene Fans,

Well, my recent past has involved at least one..."MAJOR...SHOPPING...SPREE!" My recent purchases have included the following items:

* a single battery-operated candle light
* A "TPatF" coloring book
* A new glass jar
* Some Christmas-themed, acrylic decorations
* Some inexpensive repro. coins

I'm loving the fact that I'm able to display my acrylic decorations once again.

This past weekend wasn't super, though, 'cause I missed a chance to go to The Disney Store; oh, well. I needed to eat, and to go to the bathroom, so I'm actually sort of glad that I wasn't shopping at about 7 (?) at night. I'll go to The Disney Store later...

A few days ago, something very spooky happened in my room at about 4 A.M. I was just starting to rest, and I was preparing to try to sleep, when a white light began glowing brightly at my right! I was sufficiently spooked, but I was even MORE spooked to realize that the light was coming from my new candle light, which I HADN'T turned on at all during the previous day.

Now, I THOUGHT that THAT type of candle light is the type that stays on for 5 hours, turns itself off, and turns itself on at the same time during the next day, unless a person turns it on AGAIN BEFORE that time...

I was spooked, 'cause I didn't believe that I HAD been playing with the candle light's turning activator during the past day. Truly spooky was the fact that Esther was standing right behind the candle lights.

Yesterday, I discovered something that was even MORE weird! I turned the candle light on at a certain time, but it DIDN'T turn itself off after 5 hours. I had to turn it off!

I am now convinced that there was absolutely NO reason for that candle light to have turned itself on at 4 A.M.!

I've been wondering if one of my deceased relatives was trying to send me a sign...

If that's not the answer, then I may have to watch Esther more closely during the future, or whatever...

Spooky, fer shurr!

Thanks in advance for your replies.
:shock:

Max · **Posted:** Mon Nov 23, 2009 4:02 pm

That's spooky. Things like that used to happen in my sister's bedroom too. If you feel your room may be haunted, light a white candle and let the spirit know that they have passed on and to go towards the light. That's what Sylvia Brown says to do. I'm not sure if you're supposed to let the candle burn until it puts itself out, but it's worth a shot.

Jeannie · **Posted:** Tue Nov 24, 2009 1:45 am

Dear Max,

Thanks for the advice. I'd actually take your advice, if I didn't now believe that the candle light was just wonky, and such.

I mean, the darned thing has turned itself on several more times...EVERY DAY! I can't get the son of a bear candle light to behave, no matter WHAT I do! I'm convinced that it's just a cheap, malfunctioning candle light, but I'm gonna keep it, 'cause I don't think that it can injure, or hurt me in any way.

If I move the candle light around in the air, it will randomly turn itself on. I'm convinced that it's just totally wonky, or something...There are times when I'll leave the room for a few minutes, only to return, and find that the candle light is glowing...again.

I'm just going to let the candle light behave as it wishes to behave. I HAVE thought of moving Esther away from it, though...

Thanks in advance for your reply.

Dear My Scene Fans,

Well, yesterday wasn't a very good day for me. My neck hurt all day long, and I was in a bad mood from the word "Go."

In fact, I was SO miserable that when I went to the store, I spent ALL of the rest of my money. I had to replace some cleaning supplies that I'd used, and I had to get some for myself, so, in a moment of pouty pity, I ALSO picked up the latest Holiday Barbie doll, AND some fruit-flavored candies. The Christmas outfit will go to Madison! The candies will be eaten by me! :lol:

I can't believe that I was stupid enough to think that bringing my fist down on the bathroom counter could cause anything except for pain for me. I shoulda been smart, 'cause now, my wrist is hurting like crazy! The area looks slightly swollen, and that's not good, 'cause I've had my share of self-induced injuries, some of which have stayed with me. I practically have the vanity complex of "Snow White's" Queen, so that's REALLY not good!

Speaking of "Snow White's" Queen, that's the Disney Villain who I am most like. The online Disney Princess quizzes all class me as being the Cinderella type, but the "Sleeping Beauty" princess quiz always classed me as being the Ariel type...hmmm...

I watched a program that was about Arabian horses; what a cool program! I also watched a program which highlighted the real life story of Seabiscuit.

I hope that I'll somehow be able to get the Disney dolls that I want...BEFORE the release of "The Princess and the Frog"...

My poor, 10-year-old cat, Mac, had to go to the vet's office yesterday, 'cause his fangs are hurting so much that they must be removed...NOW! He spent the night at the vet's office, and today, he'll have the fangs removed...under anesthesia, and then, he'll come home...tonight, or tomorrow...

Someone from my family examined the "haunted" candle light, and now I feel like a total dimwit! That person told me that one has to turn the top of the candle slightly more extremely, so that the candle will be turned COMPLETELY off! Silly me! :roll:

A few mornings ago, I had a nightmare, in which even the people at a hospital hated me! THAT wasn't exactly cheering...

Thanks in advance for your replies.

Dear My Scene Fans,

Well, my entire Thanksgiving Day wasn't perfect, but Thanksgiving Dinner was perfect! We had a turkey, two kinds of cranberry sauce, a simple salad, stuffing, and pickles and olives. We drank pear cider, and I made apple crisp from scratch!

We'll have the potatoes tomorrow night, along with...more TURKEY! :lol:

Thanks in advance for your replies.

Jeannie · **Posted:** Tue Dec 01, 2009 9:48 pm

Dear My Scene Fans,

This week has been...difficult, and interesting. I've been staying indoors so much that I'm beginning to feel like Karen Black's character, Marian, from "Burnt Offerings".

Speaking of "Burnt Offerings", I watched that movie recently, and it's STILL haunting me, from time to time; if you want to see a haunted house story that wipes the floor with even the original "Amityville Horror" movie, see "Burnt Offerings." Beware, though, if you scare easily.

I'm sort of worried about my grandparents these days. Grandma is becoming more and more stressed, because Grandpa is becoming more and more difficult to care for. I think that it's best that we DO visit them this Christmas.

I dreamed the weirdest dream last night. I was in a fancy building with this little girl who looked like Tiara Gold, from "HSM 3", and she was behaving like a totally proper, but snobbish, spoiled brat; she was wearing hair barrettes that looked like the cheap types of barrettes that the My Scene girls arrive with! She admitted that she was being a brat, and I told her that she deserved better, and certainly non-plastic, barrettes! Was that kid the daughter that I'll never have, or was she me, at a younger age? I think that today's dream theory is ridiculous, because it states that EVERYBODY within one's dreams is THAT PERSON! How can that ALWAYS be true? :lol:

I wonder what that dream really meant...

My wrist STILL hurts because I banged my fist on the bathroom counter a few times, and I could SWEAR that the injury site isn't looking good. I'm still gonna wait and see what my wrist feels like in a few days, but still...

I am going to tell my family to spoil me rotten EARLY this year. My unintentionally "Early Christmas" worked last year, 'cause after someone bought me a few My Scene dolls, and then our trip to visit my grandparents fell through, due to illness, I was certainly glad to have those My Scene dolls on the hearth on what was otherwise a dreary Christmas Day. I was especially grateful after I myself fell ill, for reasons of which I'm STILL not certain...

Anyway, I am going to tell my family that all of this cool "The Princess and the Frog" merchandise, movie viewing, etc., can count as MY "Early Christmas" gifts, before we head out for my grandparents' house!

I haven't volunteered at the store in awhile, and I may be absent tomorrow, too, because there are apparently tons of other helpers these days. I am feeling fairly icky. I've been going to bed much too late for awhile, and a day or so ago, I experienced a neck ache that literally made me cry; I hate those types of neck aches, 'cause they cause my heart to skip beats as it tries to deal with the pain, and they make me totally furious.

Of course, I just had to get a mild neck ache last night/ this morning, too, and THEN I ate the rest of the Asian noodles, with chicken broth, before discovering that the dratted noodles had MSG in them! EEK! I won't be eating THAT brand of Asian noodle again!

Thanks in advance for your replies.

Jeannie · **Posted:** Wed Dec 02, 2009 2:42 am

Dear My Scene Fans,

I watched "Orphan" on our own screen last night; I've only ever seen it on a movie screen, and on our computer. I must admit that I was surprised by the version of the theme music that was played at the tail end of the credits...pretty, and sad...

Remember how I had that Cardiology appointment two weeks ago? Well, here's what happened. My Cardiologist told me that I'm not overweight, but that I MUST get in shape, via some sweat-inducing exercise, by May, so that I won't be too weak for my Stress Test (That's a tough Cardio. workout on a hospital exercise machine, and it can really wear you out in no time at all if you're remotely out of shape...I can still remember my LAST stress test, which occurred during the very early 90s...I got my 1st pacer around that time...I sort of tried to be Mrs. Tough Guy at the BEGINNING of the test...what a mistake... :lol:

)

The Cardiologist also suggested that I join some clubs (if only there were cool clubs around MY neck of the woods... :lol:

Well, actually, there IS a doll club, and there IS a writers' club. I just felt too intimidated by the "Serious Writers Only" blurb in the paper to go to any meetings, but that was sort of stupid of me, 'cause I studied English in college, so I can't be much worse than anybody else.), etc.

She seems to believe that medical conditions don't necessarily occur for a reason, and that chest PAIN is something that isn't caused by a heart condition, while chest DISCOMFORT is a sign of heart trouble. Those are ideas that I've never heard of before. At least she isn't trying to convince me to get an Ablation!

Well, anyway, she showed me the papers that that doctor (The one who'd given me the bad news) had given to her, and she threw most of them away, saying that they were all screwy. I told her about the terrible appointment, and she told me that she was totally sorry about that, and that I should "try to put that out of [my] mind." Too bad there's a real fat chance of THAT happening... :roll:

That's not her fault, of course, but still...

I told her of my state of depression, with regards to the 8-month's worth of news, and she actually suggested medication! I said "No!" to THAT fairly quickly, only because I believe that mental meds tend to prevent a person from being themself, and from working out their problems with a clear mind. Imagine ME on mental pills...what a trip THAT'D be...No thank you!

The weirdest aspect of the appointment occurred when the Cardiologist told me...get THIS... that the doctor who'd told me the bad news had actually suspected that I have the same condition that I'd been researching on the internet! That means that that doctor had suspected that I'd had that condition, and she'd never even bothered to call me...for 8 months! I spent nights, mornings too, awake, researching, becoming frustrated, etc., only to discover that a doctor who wasn't calling me had suspected that I had the very condition that I was wondering about! Of all the Bedside Manner issues! I swear! I spent weeks wondering if I would even belong on those message boards, if I belonged to THAT sector of society...

Even my Cardiologist had never heard of the condition that we were discussing, so I told her what I'd read online. I'm glad that I did my "homework". Now, I need only to go to the doctor of someone from my family, in order to get that scan. I'm still scared about what they'll either find...or not find...

At least the Cardiologist and I both agree that I'll feel more comfortable when I know the truth.

I may not go to the store today, since my volunteerism is optional today, AND since I felt sort of unwell yesterday.

I'm still wondering if I should try to update my profile on that one site. I'm going to have to post my photo, and I'm going to have to be totally honest, which will not be easy, because being honest will mean admitting that there will be realities which will be totally, unequivocally impossible without physical brutality being forced upon me!

Thanks in advance for your replies.

Dear My Scene Fans,

Well, I have some wild news for everybody! During the early hours of Monday, my town received the beginnings of an Arctic storm that would prove to be the worst storm that our area had seen in over 30 years (6 inches of snow, super low temps, etc.)!

The power went out as I was going to bed, but I thought that it'd only be out for 24 hours, at the most. I was totally wrong. My family spent all of Monday relying upon real, and battery-powered, candles, the fireplace, and clothing to keep warm. Someone went out and built a snow woman, and they made a snow angel, but I was in such a bad mood that I wouldn't follow suit.

The rest of the first half of the week involved the following events and conditions:

* Recurring brown-outs, and then iffy power, that didn't always work very well

* A few meals out, and a few trips to the store

* A lost cat incident (Mac went out into the snow, 'cause someone from my family let him go outside, and then it took awhile for us to find him...that was on Monday night...)

I also got the obligatory January issue of Cosmo, because I wanted the Astrology Guide for 2010, but when I read something from the magazine, someone from my family got upset, and an argument ensued, because they were offended, and because their rudeness had offended me (They were sort of rude about telling me that they didn't want to listen to me; they could've been more polite...). The argument eventually ended, but it was a lengthy, silly argument. Should I believe that buying ONE issue of Cosmo every year makes me a disgusting slut? Really, I SWEAR!

Today was much more enjoyable. I went outside, and I built a short snow woman, so that the other snow woman (whom someone from my family had built on Monday) would have a friend. The new snow woman sported acrylic acorns for her eyes and her nose. :lol:

The rain has already started. We'd better not have any more power outages, downed branches, etc.! The only reason that we got all of our power back today was because someone from my family took a walk, helped a super overweight Fed Ex guy to deliver a package to a house, and saw the PG&E truck; he asked them about our housing area, and they said, "Well, let's check it out NOW, since we're so close."

Thus, we were back with total power by about 2 PM.! Cool!

I recently went to Wal*Mart, and someone spoiled me by getting a Fashionista for me; she was Artsy. I was gonna give her body to one of the African American JB girls, or to Tobi, but every head matches, and fits well, with a particular body, and the AA Roller Girls girl seemed to work well with that Fashionista body, so she's extra posable now, and that's cool, 'cause her face is so pretty that her body should TOTALLY be more posable.

In other news, I must visit my grandparents sometime during this year's Holiday Season, especially since Grandpa is unwell. He's lost weight, and he's not feeling his best. He's been in the hospital for an injured foot, but he's still not doing well, otherwise.

I'm going to try to see "The Princess and the Frog" tomorrow, and I'm hoping that I can still receive my Christmas gifts early, so that I won't have to plan on a trip to The Disney Store while I'm at my grandparents' house, only to be disappointed by pending circumstances that may involve Grandpa's health.

I almost hope that Grandma DOESN'T spoil me too much this year; I'd actually appreciate some inexpensive, non-flickering, battery-powered candles, because if another storm ever comes our way...

Thanks in advance for your replies.

Should I believe that buying ONE issue of Cosmo every year makes me a disgusting slut? Really, I SWEAR!

I'm pretty sure not having sex makes it pretty impossible to be a slut...

I'll be thinking about you when I go see The Princess and the Frog!

Also, are you in the mountains, because I didn't think it snowed in California??

Dear myscenefan,

I live in a part of California where it rarely snows; an Arctic storm chose us this December.

Thanks in advance for your reply.

Dear My Scene Fans,

If you wish to read about my opinion of "The Princess and the Frog", please see the Entertainment forum...

I've been in a weird mood lately. While I was listening to the movie version of the theme song from "The Jetsons", I was inspired to write a 7 page poem. I've been thinking about The Monsanto House, robots, etc.

I went to bed at around 4 A.M., and I was feeling ill (Sore neck, hungry, etc.), and I woke up at about 10-something in the morning. Ever since after my shower, I've been feeling uncontrollably, helplessly...

Today has been the day of the paper towel, the scissors, the Barbie brush, the safe evidence, the frustration, the situation, the confusion, and the uncontrollable want/ need for...that totally hands-on associate...

Well, anyway, I watched the beginning of the show "Real Housewives", and I think that Simon is a jerk! He's like that *bleep* from "The Stepford Wives"; that'd be okay, if his wife were a stupid bimbo who thought that she was being treated wonderfully, but she actually has a brain, so his behavior is a crime! She deserves a cool husband. If I had to be married to that jerk, I'd be so desperate to get away from him that I'd be willing to cheat with Fred Flintsone...or maybe a certain Futuristic, whooped guy who owns an ultra-cool house! Hmmm... :wink:

I only want to know, though, why Judy sports PLATINUM hair, while George, Jane, and Elroy, all have more normally-colored hair. Is Judy actually Jane's love child, from some weird relationship with George's boss, or is she George's love child, from that time when he had himself a Saturn fling? :lol:

Does Judy dye her hair, meaning that she really IS George and Jane's biological daughter? Only Rosie knows fer shurr! :lol:

My, but I'm in a naughty mood today! Can an overdose of organic, semisweet chocolate chips make someone feel like being totally naughty? :lol:

Speaking of futuristic houses, Disneyland has created a NEW futuristic house, but I personally think that it's silly, 'cause it looks like a slight update of today's homes. I wanna see white walls, clear accents, transparent curtains, pedastalled areas, a bathtub that's surrounded by a stairway, a bathtub which features a body-specific indentation, etc. If only the dream house that I'd planned during college was actually being created...

I'd really love a hot dog and salad dinner right now, but my family is restricting certain foods so much that I'm lusting after them in an out of control way. I don't know how I'll have a corn syrup-free Christmas without going wild!

I should look "Jetsons The Movie" up on Youtube. I'll never forget the fact that I was obsessed with the music of the singer Tiffany during about 1999, because I had gotten one of her tapes from The Goodwill Store. I totally had to rent "Jetsons The Movie" because Tiffany spoke, and sang, the role of Judy Jetson!

Well, I think that the Robot is calling me... :lol:

Thanks in advance for your replies.

Dear My Scene Fans,

Today was the date of my dental appointment, but I was a naughty, inuendo-obsessed, giggly little dear, 'cause I hadn't had much sleep. I couldn't stop laughing at Rachel Ray!

While I was at the dental office, I met an old high school acquaintance. She has a husband, four kids, and the most obvious diamond ring that I've ever seen!

I've recently been wishing that I was a wife and a mother. My hips are wider, courtesy of all the eating, and all of the sitting, that I've been treating myself to, so they deserve to support the weight of a few kids. I want someone to nag, and someone whose wallet I can steal, and someone who can be easily swayed when I treat them to some...comfort... in bed! Of course, the nanny, the robots, and the household staff haven't been found yet, so...

I'll have to marry my cat, and adopt some more animals. I WAS actually gonna secretly marry my cat awhile back...when I was obsessed with Disney's "Robin Hood"!

Thanks in advance for your replies.

Dear My Scene Fans,

Yesterday was a terrible day! A dispute turned into an argument, which turned into my flight out of the house, and up to the horse trail (I slammed my bedroom door loudly, before yelling at the offending party, and taking off towards the horse trail.)

Someone else from my family took me away fairly soon afterwards, and we did some Christmas shopping. I also got the Disney movie "In Search of The Castaways". I couldn't find those advertising art books that I was looking for, though. I have "Ads of The 20s" (Actually, that book is actually for all of us, 'cause someone else from my family needs it for reenactment ideas), "Ads of The 60s", "Ads of The 70s", and "Ads of The 80s", but I still need the books which showcase the print advertisements of the 30s, the 40s, the 50s, and the 90s.

The books were originally about $40.00 apiece, but they're NOW out of print, so that means that I'll have to pay through the nose in order to obtain the rest of them! NOOO! I'll have to try to find a web site that'll sell them for a discount...?

I'm not looking forward to The Holidays! I want Christmas to go by quickly. I am NOT in a Holiday mood...at all...right now. I might go shopping again tomorrow, for MY Christmas gift, but the weird aspect of the entire situation is the fact that we haven't even discussed, as a family, weather or not we're gonna take our presents with us this year, 'cause some of us will be visiting Grandpa and Grandma for awhile this Holiday Season! ARG!

Yesterday, I was able to see a real photo of the catalogue page on which my very first Barbie was ordered, and let me just say that that one Sears advertisement told me more about my family's aspirations for me than words ever could. The experience was sad, humbling, and revelation-inducing, actually...

I don't know WHAT I want for a Christmas gift this year. I was gonna go to The Disney Store and choose about $80+ worth of Disney dolls, but the person who took me shopping today told me that those same dolls would probably be discounted AFTER Christmas.

That made me think about the My Favorite Barbie line, and about the Fashionistas, AND about any possible Big Lots! My Scene dolls...I'm feeling some major doll lust right now, fer shurr!

Last night/ this morning, I went through all of the emails that I saved from way back during 2006, and I realized what a true jerk/ totally immature weirdo that older guy really was (in some ways). I also realized that my best friend, whom I've recently been ignoring, because of her tendency to ignore me, was actually being a super best friend. I am not going to be super friendly towards her, but I'll at least be polite enough to correspond with her if she contacts me once she and her husband welcome the new baby.

I still can't get over the lyrics to "The Jetsons Rap". Those guys STILL sound as though they're saying "Our house is in The Hamptons!" :lol:

I know that the lyric is "heavens", but still...I didn't know that The Jetsons lived in The Hamptons! :lol:

I'd love to see the live-action movie "The Jetsons", which will be released during...<wincing from fear> 2012! I wish that I would be able to audition for the role of Judy, but I don't think that Hollywood's producers would consider me to be stereotypical enough for the role of a bubble gum teenaged futurette! Besides, my desire for fame ALWAYS clashes with my desire for total anonymity!

Thanks in advance for your replies.

Dear My Scene Fans,

Today, someone from my family took me shopping in the city...for my Christmas gifts from them! That occurred last year, 'cause we THOUGHT that we were gonna be out of town; almost everybody got sick, though, last year, so...

This year, I'll be among those from my family who are going to visit my grandparents, so this person and I sort of already know what we're getting for each other. The entire gift scenario is sort of funny, and it's making me realize that the gifts aren't really the heart of Christmas, even though they're darned fun to receive!

I went to The Disney Store first, but even though some of the dolls were on sale, I decided to just look around for today. Some of the princess' eyes aren't too well-painted, so if I'd decided to choose a doll, I'd have been there for awhile, in order to choose that perfect doll.

I then went to TRU, and the song "Poker Face" went through my mind while I was cruising the doll isles, but I didn't mind. I saw the latest My Favorite Barbie dolls, and the first few My Favorite Career Barbie dolls, but I didn't like the degrading thought balloons that were displayed with the Career dolls!

I saw More 2 Me Lexa, but I thought that her glasses looked super silly!

I could've chosen two Fashionistas, but I chose instead the Barbie Loves Makeup doll; she was the only of the three Barbie Loves dolls that I really liked. I'll give her body to a My Scene girl later, and I may name that girl Lisa...

Some of the other new Barbies were interesting, but I liked the Loves Makeup doll the most!

Thanks in advance for your replies.

Dear My Scene Fans,

I am SO not in a good mood these days! I don't want to go anywhere for Christmas! I hate snow, Christmas, holiday shopping, crowds, etc.!

I've been catching hell from my family about my relaxed pants (Ie: "You're not wearing THOSE to your grandparents' house!"), so today, I wore myself out, worsened my mood, and spent money at the cheapest stores (think Marshall's and Ross!), going on a "MAJOR...SHOPPING...SPREE!", but for clothes! ARG! I never DID find those perfect, long blue jeans skirts, so I ended up buying one long brown skirt, which fits very nicely, and two black skirts, which are ever so slightly too large. The person from my family who is oftentimes cruel towards me will probably make rude remarks.

I can't believe that I was so stupid, though, because we're going to be cleaning out garages, visiting Grandpa in the rest home, and organizing things! Why SHOULDN'T I wear comphy pants? I'll put something nice together for Christmas, and I'll try to wear some skirts, 'cause I HATE jeans, but still...

Yesterday, I reacted to my dread of the trip by sulking, and laughing, over The Annotated Alice in Wonderland . I've been in an "AiW" mood these days, because I sort of feel as though I'm going insane, due to the fact that I'm hating the Holidays this year!

I'll be staying in Grandpa's room this year. That'll be interesting; the entire atmousphere will feel strange, 'cause Grandpa won't be there, save for a few hours on Christmas Eve.

As much as I love my family, I can't wait for Christmas to be over with, so that I can return home, relax, and have fun.

All of this "No corn syrup", "Try to go Green", etc. rhetoric is driving me crazy; in short, life itself is driving me crazy! At present, my life is comprised of too many deep, dark secrets, too much worry, etc. On top of all of that, my neck is killing me right now. I don't see how I'll survive such a long stay with my relatives; I don't know how ANY of us will survive Christmas.

I didn't get my hair cut this Autumn, and I know that a few more pounds, and even shorter hair, would make my relatives like me even more than they did during July. I'm probably sounding as though I'm being ridiculous, but I must say that since I'm fairly depressed these days, I have absolutely no problem condoning self-imposed obesity, etc.

I only hope that we can all survive Christmas, because we were all arguing with each other earlier during the day. I hope that the next few weeks are peaceful, and that they go by smoothly, and simply.

I'm just going to have to think of the trip as a fun holiday, during which I won't have to worry, etc. I mean, Grandpa is safer in this new hospital, and yet, I'll still be able to see him, and I won't necessarily be having to share the guest bath with everybody in my family, 'cause I'll likely get the bath that goes with Grandpa's bedroom. I AM going to try, for the umpteenth time, to avoid speaking unless I'm spoken to, 'cause everytime that I dare to be enthusiastic, I find that I haven't been appropriate enough, and that's not even in the toilet joke sense, which makes it even more incredible. Maybe if I can just read...

Thanks in advance for your replies.

Dear My Scene Fans,

I still can't believe that my Cardiologist assumes so much about me, with regards to the fact that all unconventional, life-and-confusuion-related identity issues are spelled out in her mind to be conventional. Ha! I'm not exactly one to talk, though, no matter where the talking may be done...when such matters are the subjects.

Thanks in advance for your replies.
