Sleep! Job Interview! Pretty dolls!

[cupcake_goth]

I slept for almost 12 hours, and it was glorious. No so fun were the hallucinations when I got up to toddle off to the bathroom; from what I remember, the room was swaying, the dresser drawers were opening and closing while laughing, and my skirts kept flocking together and whispering above my head. This is what Ambien occasionally does to me. Thank goodness the Stroppy One made me close my eyes and walked me back to bed. Which I have only vague recollections of.

(I took the Ambien to make sure that I fell asleep. I have had too many experiences of being falling-over tired, and yet not being able to sleep. I didn't want to have the slightest risk of that last night, obviously.)

Job interview today! For a 3-month contract back at the Very Large Software Company. So, not the best possible thing ever, but hey, gainful employment sounds attractive. Very attractive.

Ooooh, dolls. Specifically, the Evangeline Ghastly doll from Wilde Imagination (yes yes, clicky-link!). I do not need that sort of hobby, I cannot afford that sort of hobby. But I occasionally go look at the website and stare at the pretty pretty doll and her astonishing wardrobe. And covet. Oh, the coveting.

(Okay, fine, I also send clicky-links of certain outfits to the Infamous BlueJay, asking if they can be made in Cupcake Goth -scale. What? That can't be a surprise to you.)

I like dolls, and doll miniatures. Really, if I were an independently wealthy eccentric (instead of a job-hunting eccentric), I would have a collection of pretty dolls and accessories, and yes, do photo stories with them. Because I am that sort of person.

(And from the other room, I can hear clovisdvlbunny clamoring about updating his journal, because marc17 took good photos of cute bunny, cute bunny must show them off! Yes, Clovis. Soon.)

Okay, off I go to make more tea, and start getting ready for the job interview. Must stop looking at photos of dolls.

*wanders over to the Evangeline Ghastly site*

*stares*

*stares some more*

... You know, I'm a fashion design student. A broke, on-government-financial-assistance, strict-budgeting fashion design student. I really shouldn't be getting the urge to run down to the garment district and buy yards and bolts of velvets, silks, laces and trims to replicate those outfits in full scale. My bank account is whimpering as is...

But God help me I want to.

If I ever win the lotto, those ensembles in their wearable glory will be the first ones to run through my machines, oh yes. And I of course would be glad to fashion a custom wardrobe for you, my dear. *nods*

Some day...

Whoops! Good luck. :D

(Was distracted by dolls. You know how it is.)

OMG ***squee*** those dolls are beautiful

[staxxy.livejournal.com]

the Evangeline doll is lovely... and then I went on a wander through the rest of the site.

Oh my goodness, Ambien. The first (and last) time I took it I apparently pulled on some black and purple tights, erected a poster tube under a sheet for a sail and another poster tube for a cannon and proclaimed myself a pirate. When my father came in to investigate the racket, I attacked him with a Bic pen that I thought was a cutlass. He had to physically restrain me until I fell asleep. I remember none of this.

Good luck at VLSC interview!

Luck and Blessings on you for the interview. Enavgeline Ghastly and Gothis Veil sold out? Duaaa-ah! They'r ebeautiful. I gravitate more towards the Moonlit Shadows one however. <3 I'm with you on the want-but-cannot-have thing. They may be well worth the price, but I just can't afford it right now either... and I HAVE a job. It's just getting to be that time of year when holidays make my wallet whimper in fear.

Ambien is freaky stuff. I made the mistake of making an LJ post one time while on it. Wheeeee, hallucinations!

My GOD that doll is gorgeous.

Good luck at your interview!

Ohhhhh I want one

Damn it!!! This is where all my money goes :$

You are an ebil ebil woman! Clicky links of doom . . . and by that I mean I want those dolls . . . like Barbie but ten million times better.

Yaaaay! You got an interview! *thumbs up*

And hey, Clovis, I put you on my friends list . . . because bunnies rule.

Good luck! There's a little green circle here with your name on it.

sleep good - interview good - Bright Blessings on the interview, ma'am!

Ambien tripping stories are always fun. Laughing furniture, I've noticed, seems to be a common one.
I was prescribed Ambien years ago, and I'll never forget the first time I took it. I thought that my bedside table lamp was making out with my phone.

Wishing you good luck for the contract. Three months isn't forever, but it is *now*, and sometimes that's what matters. A lot coudl happen in three months, other opportunities may well arise between now and then, but at least this would get you back into the habit of having a regular schedule and keep the corporate culture of V8inBeverageCooler Co fresh in your mind.

Congrats on the job! You could always rescue a 50 Cent barbie from the goodwill, repaint and reclothe her to show her the way of good instead of evil... i feel so terrible for all those barbies... all naked and chewed on...

I'm a little disturbed that I own boots just like the Dark Sole ones (though in velvet). I'm even more saddened that I don't own the rest of her clothes. All of them.

Congratulations on the job!
