Ooooh, okay. I am all about this! I started collecting the little plushies when they came out but stopped and recently started up again thanks to the little vinyls cause they're stinking cute!  I think I'm gonna stick to vinyls. There's only a couple more I'm looking for, like Jiminy Cricket and Happy. I have these guys: visitors can't see pics , please register or loginAnd these are my favorites! I love the dwarfs. visitors can't see pics , please register or login

Oh my!  These are super. Duper. Cute! Stalking. I may have a new collection on my hands! Can someone, like, explain them to me? Where can you buy them? (I know I sound silly. I'm just curious!)
Oh you dont sound silly at all! 
Nendoroids are basically little cute/chibi anime figures. What makes them so liked is that you can swap their parts, such as arms, legs, outfits, hair, AND faces. And since therea re over 500 nendoroids, you are certainly going to find at least ten that you like....and maybe 50+ you wanna own right now. xD
You can get them from various anime figure/JPN sites, some US sites (for an example) and anime conventions (BUT be careful since you can come across bootlegs). Personally, the sites I've used to buy nendoroids are:
AmiAmi (they are a big popular well-trusted site),
Tokyo Otaku Mode (they often have free shipping on some nendoroids if you preorder it from them within a week or two, depending)
Good Smile Company's global store (they often have exclusive preorder bonuses if you preorder figures from them - they are also the ones who created nendoroids)
and Amazon.com (BUT i personally only buy it if it's "sold by amazon.com" or "sold by _______ and fufilled by Amazon", for protection purposes).
Price can vary: if you preorder them, they usually go for around... $30-$50 USD.
Yes. Yesss! That sounds like something I'd love, actually! I'm gonna look around a little.

Im sure you will do just fine. If you need to improve on something, it will happen as you play on 
I was practicing pitching/catching today with my dad (apparently he used to be a softball coach. Who knew?) and my stance was improving bit by bit, and I caught the ball more frequently. It's great to watch myself improve.  Never heard of that sport before, but it sure sounds, uh, safe.
*giggles manically* I've already been hit in the face a few times...  Never heard of that sport before, but it sure sounds, uh, safe.
I don't know, I broke my ankle playing it once. Oh, and severed tendons in the other ankle. And bursitis in my throwing arm. And a concussion.
For advice, get your glove limbered up before you play! Oil it, put a ball in it, and rubber band it closed at night. In the day, flex it and work the leather so it softens. And stay limber yourself. Make sure to warm up thoroughly. And drink water and apply sunscreen! Have fun!
Oh. whoah! We've already oiled my glove an wrapped it in the ball. My first non-madatory practice is this Tuesday, and I'm gonna keep that in mind. More water. Warm up. And sunscreen!  I..... Thought about it..... In HS.....But then......Nope.
My parents used to be in the band, and since I said I will not be in the band, they were like, "You have to play a sport." And thus, softball it was. Well, high school girls softball is fast pitch... Honestly, you and your friend need to just find a field and practice, practice, practice, practice, and practice. Work on your swing and your stance. If your friend can pitch as a softball pitcher would, it'd be great to sharpen your skills that way. If not, maybe you could find some other girls that are pitchers so you can practice
(I'd suggest the batting cage, but those balls are slow-pitch so probably wouldn't help much there. If you ever join a slow pitch softball league, hit up the batting cages lol  )
I'm gonna start running my dog around the neighborhood daily, so we can both get some exercise and shape up. I started practicing today, and my dad said (I think he's required to say this because I'm his daughter ) that I'm going to be good, and my stance is already pretty nice. I think the team I'm on is going to be slow pitch,(update- it's fast pitch) and that's actually a really good idea. I'm gonna try that!

I have a Fitbit Flex. All it does is track my sleep (which is pretty cool!) and monitor my steps as well as exercise. It also has this buzzing alarm feature, which I love for school days when I have to get up early. It's a cute little device for monitoring activity. For cycling, you might want the Fitbit Charge HR. It tracks heart beat, and exercise a little bit better then then the Flex. (I don't know much about the HR, you'd have to look into it yourself.) The only cons to this device is that if it dies, the charger may not work, thus either resetting it or buying a new charger. It's accuracy isn't the best, as it can be off a lot. I also noticed that on time changes, it can lag and act a little bizarre. If you want much more accuracy, you should probably go with the Apple iWatch.Other then that, I'd recommend it. go for it!

Hello there! I'm starting high school, and up where I live, everyone's very athletic.  I'm not really athletic, (besides swimming and dancing which I did for a respectable amount of time) and I've taken it upon myself to try something new! I'm going to join the high school softball team (yay cougars!) with one of my best friends. I've almost no softball experience, I'm in pretty good shape,  and I'm going to be positive and not give up. Does anyone who plays/played softball have any advice for me? I've never played it before, but I can catch a ball (my sister used to play softball) and swing a bat (thank you, mandatory P.E.) I'm super excited, and I start next week. Help!

I got my new Blythe the other day! I'm super happy with her. She's a factory custom, and I finally got around to taking pictures of her. She's wearing most of my Pullip's stock outfit for now, but it's cute on her! I'm so happy! I think this'll be my last Blythe for a while, though, unless I find a reasonably cheap Middie. She's outside, enjoying the Colorado sunlight. visitors can't see pics , please register or loginHer face looks super vibrant in pictures, oddly enough, but in person, it's not nearly as pink. visitors can't see pics , please register or loginI put her with the rest of my girls, and they're just hanging out in my curio cabinet. visitors can't see pics , please register or login

I'm waiting on a customized factory Blythe! She should be here in a couple weeks, hopefully before school starts!

*gets super excited over minty*

I'm not sure if she's sought out for some, but I've been looking for a Minty. I think she goes for about $20-$25 on eBay.

I call that pullcord set the 'Toybox' Set I have an extra ocean set, but that one's a surprise because it's for my custom girl. The green-corded set's two charms are a double sided toggle with the eiffel tower on one side and 'paris' on the other, and a little fake wristwatch, it's really cute.
I hope my sanding supplies get here soon, I'm so antsy not being able to keep working on custom stuff!!
And thank you, I'm really proud of my carving job and I'm glad to know other people like it too!
I'm excited to see how she turns out! I couldn't carve out the faces, I feel I would either mess up or get lazy halfway through and stop But the carving looks good! I also love the custom pullcords, that's something I really love about Blythes. On the off note, I was going through some old boxes of toys and LPS, and I found two LPS Blythes I'd gotten while I was younger. I've apparently been unconciously collecting Blythe dolls! It was so strange that I'd completely forgot about them. It was like a gift from myself!

I just ordered a custom factory girl and a couple Blythe stands and I'm super stoked! She should be here in a week or two. Well, you're right, Blythes are contagious!

Oooh congrats! Be sure to post pictures! Blythe's are one thing I will never get tired of looking at!
Me too! I love the wide eyed look. I'm so excited to have found this lovely world of Blythes! I'm hoping to order a doll specifically for customization soon, as I've just sold off my last Monster High dolls, and can fund my collection. (Oh, and my girls hair turned out very well. Her curls are much more manageable!)
