Mark Twain was a Vegetarian.
I'm starting to get that itch where I don't want to write anymore. It's a pain in the but, it's embarrassing, and I feel like no one reads my entries anyway. But I'll do it, because I can, and maybe someone gets some kind of enjoyment out of it.
I went over to my mom's house yesterday. We went to a little play her community was putting on. It was just a few parts of some of Mark Twain's stories. It was cute. It was very difficult to hear a lot of the actors due to lack of enunciation, or they spoke too softly, but it was entertaining. There was this adorable little boy playing one of the parts in Tom Sawyer, and he must've been about 4 or 5. He was begging Tom to paint in this adorable little voice. He even put on a bit of a southern accent. He didn't really like to stay where he was supposed to be. Curtain call was tough because he wanted to stand in the middle of the stage and wave to everybody, but adorable, none the less.
I made dinner for my mom as well, and I'm a little frustrated with how that went down. I cook for Brady all the time, and he doesn't care if it's vegan or not. He loves everything I cook and eats it and gets seconds later. But my mom was picking on the food. She shouldn't care if it's got meat in it or not. If it's delicious, you eat it. I know she was just teasing me because it was "fake" meat, but honestly, if I was cooking that in a pot, with all the taco sauce on it, it smells good, and it looks like meat, so I'm not sure what difference it makes. Frustrations aside, she did end up eating it, and said it was good, but didn't want me to leave the rest of it with her. I took it home, and Brady ate it, and said it was good, so at least I know it wasn't disgusting. My little sister wouldn't eat it because it had corn and onions in it.
I offered to cook for her again, just sans soy cheese and wheat meat. But she doesn't understand that food can legitimately be made vegan. Animal products don't HAVE to be in something for it to be tasty. I'm sure there's plenty of foods that you've eaten that are vegan by nature. Minestrone soup, Oreo cookies, pasta, pancakes (sometimes). And when I told her I was making vegan cupcakes that mysteriously disappear within days of making them, she said that was disgusting too, and couldn't imagine what one would bake with if I left out the butter and eggs. I noted that so many eat margarine, which is a butter replacement, without thinking twice. But the moment I put "soy" in the word it's disgusting. I'll cook something some day that she won't be weirded out by, but I guess until then she'll always be suspicious of my cooking.
In other news, another one of my dolls was repainted recently. To give you a refresher, she used to look like this:
But I had Aileen (frozen wings on DOA) repaint her to be my cute little deadly Zombie/Elf girl:
I'm going to get her these eyes in 12mm spirit dove. Then she'll need a little outfit, and eventually her own body. That's at least exciting.
Alice has returned, another workweek is over.
So another work week has passed, and today was my payday! So besides rent, I went out to Target and bought a blender/food processor combo. I'm hoping to be able to make a lot more of my recipes with this, like for smoothies, and different sauces. I also got some new underwear ^_^ I don't really take care of my clothes as well as other people do, so my underwear quickly loses that new feeling, or I buy them too small, too large.
Afterwards I went to the grocery store to stock up on some more food. I spent a lot of money unfortunately but I think I'll be good for the next few weeks. I also bought some blendable fruits and berries to make some smoothies! 
I also got my Milla in today, and put her eyes and wig on. She's officially Alice now. I just need to get a body for her, but I did take some pictures. I'm really happy with the way she came out!
I also made some Oreo cookie cupcakes!

So another thing about me is that I collect dolls. Not regular dolls, like ones that pee and poo and drink milk from a bottle. These dolls are very expensive, and essentially movable works of art. They're called Asian Ball-Jointed Dolls. Although other countries now make them besides Asian ones. There are dolls from Holland, Australia, the USA and others.
All of my dolls happen to be Korean.
Each doll ends up being a project. I'm not the one that does the painting of them. I pay other people to do that. Essentially I just like to stare at them. If you're interested, I have my dolls all laid out at another website.
But my next project is the character of Alice from the Resident Evil movies. Her head is made by Doll in Mind, and is a "minimee" head. Minimee is a service they provide where you can request that the mould a doll after a certain character, celebrity, or anything else. You can order 1-10 at a time. The more people you have, the cheaper the head is. Her head is obviously moulded after actress Milla Jovovich. I may end up buying her an orange wig as well to make her be LeeLoo from Fifth Element but for now, she's just Alice.
I don't have any personal pictures, but I'm borrowing the ones that were sent to me from the artist Miriam Bos who painted her. I'll be posting more of my own once I get her.
The eyes and wig being used actually belong to Miriam, but I've purchased some new ones for her to use when she gets in. I'll take pictures when I get her in with her eyes and hair. Unfortunately she doesn't have a body yet. I am going to order her one from Doll in Mind later, I just want to make sure I don't cut myself short. The body itself will be $311 total (which includes EMS shipping from Korea).
I'll be sure to post entire pictures of Alice when she's done. I'm excited to have her.
