03:25 pm - I has a new journal
Soooo, being the indecisive mare that I am I've created a new journal so I at least have some parity with my doll forum name. There was already a merrylegs on LJ (she hasn't posted since 2004 though!) so i am now going to be posting to
![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) merrylegs_animi
Twould be lovely if my flist re-friended me there! ^__^ (Or at least allow me to friend you again as my new identity). I promise not to change it again anytime soon...

06:20 pm - No Nekkie Boys Here
^__^
I've just made the first clothing purchase for my incoming souldoll boy, Fallon. Boots and kimono will prolly be here before him as I only ordered him like a week ago. I'm excited all over again!

11:57 am - All over the place
Fwaa. I've spent the last couple of weeks on and off clearing stuff out of the house that I no longer want/need and moving stuff around to accommodate some much-needed double glazing installation. It's been a lot of tiring, kinda stressy work.
The guys are here now and they seem to be working really well but man, I could throttle the big faceless company - they said it would take one day, which surprised me in the beginning seeing as it seems like such a big job - but when the guys got here this morning they happened to say they'd be doing one bit tomorrow. Ummm...tomorrow? Stupid company, they'd written 'one day' on one part of their work sheet and 'one day' on another part of the sheet. Even I know what one plus one makes. Grrr! *shakes fist at double glazing magnates*
So tomorrow I'll have to sit around again, not knowing what to do with myself and not being able to go out. Harrumph. But it is my birthday all the same, the queen will just have to reign from the living room sofa. *winks*

01:53 pm - Ouchie
Just back from having my third (technically fourth - the first being crap was removed and covered over) tattoo done. It hurts more now than when the guy had the needle on/under my skin and I can't lie down as it's on my back. But it's my own fault isn't it, so I can't whine too much! I would take a pic for you to see but (a) it's still very red; and (b) it's veeery hard to take a decent pic of your back. I'll have to rope someone else in to do that, prolly next weekend. But I'm very pleased with it, I'm really lucky to have a very talented tattoo parlour on my doorstep. ^__^
Dolly news - after much faffing about I've decided to put up my bambicrony lotti for sale. She's been with me over a year now and I just don't get anything from her. I've really tried but it's just not happening. This does make me sad but I can't do anything else. *sigh*

(the theme from Strictly Come Dancing)
Hippolyta_hero and I went to the NEC this saturday just gone for the matinee of Strictly Come Dancing Live. It was absolutely fantastic!!
The warm-up guy before the show started was very old school pantomime style and had us all up on our feet clapping waving our arms and swaying about. Then they brought out the judges (minus Bruno who's touring America) and things got started. It was SO good. My hands hurt by the end of it from clapping so much!
Anyway, I managed to take a few pics. Unfortunately you can't make out a great amount because we were quite far away from the floor. But I still got a pic of slinky Vincent Simone's butt. Oh yeah, the argentine tango is my number one favourite dance. ;)

08:23 pm - Ahem....
Because I am an indecisive personality because I can't change my username to the same as my forum name (there's already an LJ user called merrylegs, darn them!) I'm changing the name of my journal. I apologise for any confusion, mea culpa. O//_//O

A. List seven habits/quirks/facts about yourself.
B. Tag seven people to do the same.
C. Do not tag the person who tagged you or say that you tag "whoever wants to do it."
1. I broke my wrist in two places when I was 9, falling off a horse
2. I have a good sense of smell and tend to sniff new things like an animal
3. I have two large tattoos on my back and am planning a third in the next month or so
4. I love watching old episodes of Columbo!
5. My hair has been going grey for 10 years
6. I check under the bed for spiders every night before i go to sleep
7. I've been vegetarian since I was 8 years old
I won't tag anyone (because at least a couple on my f-list have already been tagged and I don't have more than 7 on my list!) but if my f-list want to take up the challenge please feel free, I'd love to hear your answers! ^__^

08:56 pm - New Dolly Blues
I waited so impatiently for my new mnf girl, and was so happy when I got shipping notice and found that she'd slipped under customs radar. Only now she's here I'm once more hit by the doubts I've had for a while now that I simply have too many dolls.
I sold two of my SD boys September/October of last year because they weren't getting the attention some of my others were. I don't regret sending them on their way, it's just that now when I buy a doll (just the one incidentally) I worry that I'll end up doing the same again. Moreover, that I had already found my level with Jindra, Miakoda, Shebari and Sri. I came within a hair of selling my two tinies (bambicrony and choco vamp) because I didn't get that deeper feeling from them.
So I lusted after a mnf, drove myself nuts wanting one, and now she's here I worry that I won't be able to find the character for her that will give her the depth i expect from my resin kids. It's only been a couple of days so it's still early but yes, I am now driving myself crazy again. *sigh*

02:12 pm - Hmm, not sure about the "confident" bit, but everything else is pretty close
| What Lana Means |  You are relaxed, chill, and very likely to go with the flow.
You are light hearted and accepting. You don't get worked up easily.
Well adjusted and incredibly happy, many people wonder what your secret to life is.
You are usually the best at everything ... you strive for perfection.
You are confident, authoritative, and aggressive.
You have the classic "Type A" personality.
You are very intuitive and wise. You understand the world better than most people.
You also have a very active imagination. You often get carried away with your thoughts.
You are prone to a little paranoia and jealousy. You sometimes go overboard in interpreting signals. |

Hello all
This is the first post of my new LJ account, deleting the last one as it was feeling like a chore. But, with my new 2008 positive attitude to things I thought I'd create a new one and try to get out there a bit more, even if sometimes that's only in an online community. Hey, we're all part of the global community eh!
You may be wondering about the title of my new LJ. Someone I work with occasionally emphatically pronounces "PIG'S BUM" very loudly. It knocks me off my stride every time as the way it's said sounds like she's swearing, even after she explained to me it comes from a saying when she was a kid "Yum yum pig's bum, apple tart and chewing gum". Yes, that does still sound bad but she insists it's a good thing and that when she says it it's an expression of joy. *shrug*
It might help to remind me that sometimes if something seems like a bad thing at first it may not actually turn out to be that way. Might. I've always, for as long as I can remember, had issues with pessimism and worrying myself into a black hole of anxiety and eventually depression. This year is all about trying to make things more positive even if it's just in a very small way.
To do this I have started an evening class (garment making - so my head doesn't start spinning if I just look at a sewing pattern!); I'm sorting out my household - getting rid of a lot of stuff I don't actually have any use for; making some home improvements I've wanted to do since I moved in; joining LJ again!; and I WILL be going to at least one doll meet this year (meeting new people is veeery hard for me, I am either a shrinking violet or I talk too much and make a fool of myself).
There will be more added to the list (hopefully tango class! I blame the film Naked Tango, very bad but totally seared onto my memory as an adolescent. Cholo!!) as the year goes on as I can't rest on my laurels or I shall slide backwards.
So please stick with me, my LJ F-list. I may not comment every single time but that may only because I can't dredge up anything witty or of any point out of my poor old head. I always enjoy hearing what other people have going on in their lives.
Best wishes to you all.
L
