Other things I kinda suck at/My doll is a porn star
Making phone calls! And no, this isn’t some bizarre joke. I am actually really, really bad at this. I don’t have facial expressions to go off of judging other people’s reactions and I process spoken word choice nuances WAY slower than written. I misdial a lot. I have no thesaurus.
You can imagine what it was like just now when I attempted to call a neighbor to get another neighbors phone number. Especially that I had to try three of them before I got the number. And apparently, I am the only person in town who isn’t sick, or in possession of a dog which is sick. OK, make that and/or.
Annnnnnnnnnnd I just took a major digression there to talk to my sister. Which was a very nice digression indeed, but still. Every phone conversation with me is an endless stream of random facts and odd requests. It’s my thing. Plus, I’m never sure what to do when people tell me bad things over the phone. I can’t hug them.
Oh, and the icing on all of this cake of phone phail? Dad called while I was making some doll ornaments. He wanted to bring me dinner from a restaurant in town. Which is sweet! But, he also wanted me to know exactly what they had, so he was reading the menu off to me. ”That’s very nice of you to offer, but I gotta tell you: I answered the phone with my elbows and I’m covered in glue right now…”
For a day that was supposed to be all chores and dollpics, it has been exciting. And stammery. And educational as to the histories of various Miyazaki flicks, for some people. But, the good news is I have taken pictures of all my dolls and will be finishing the set soon! Maybe not that soon. I’ve got a lot of snapshots to sort.
Writing is coming along nicely. Beading kit business- better than expected (but, we need to come up with some more colorways for some of the kits, due to brights being in this summer), no one is actually dead. Still odd to me to have IRL friends that want to see my <a href=”http://www.rakurakutei.com/theloft/unoa_faq.htm#UNOA BOY”>Unoa boy’s extra parts</a> *cue screaming and LOLZ*.
“<lj user=”shipwreck_light”>’s got this whole secret life we know nothing about!” *elbow*
And HOW.
In other news, Greg Fultz is a creep, but I bet you knew that already.
