*Deep Breath*
Hi! Remember me?
After a little hiatus, I think that I'm ready to come back to BJD-land. I've spent the past two weeks or so perusing the dolly forums, posting, feeling things out, and making sure that I'm making the right decision. This past Monday I took a deep breath and jumped right in - I agreed to purchase Tir-chan and have slowly been collecting some bits for him (his first item of clothing arrived at the apartment today, and it was such a strange feeling to hold them in my hands and marvel at how large they were. I think I've forgotten the feel of a BJD in my hands.)
I've done a massive friendslist purge: people who are no longer active, whose journals don't really pertain to BJDs or who I simply don't know I've removed. If you feel you've been removed in error, definitely let me know - I do make mistakes...from time to time.
I'm nervous, impatient, giddy, excited, and worried about Tir coming home. Mostly I'm excited, I hope it won't be a long time until he shows up so I don't have to deal with this circus of emotions for too long! As far as other dolls go, I'm not thinking that far in advance. For the past year I've been unable to entirely stop thinking about Tiriel, about his resin-embodiment and how I'd want to have him. I'm glad that I finally took the plunge and I will finally have the opportunity to have Tir as I've always wanted him. (As I probably should have emobodied him on the first go-round.)
If you're curious about Tir's character, here's a detailed bio that's helping me pass the time until I hear about his progess in getting to me...
Basic Statistics
Name: "Tiriel" Jamison
Age: 24
Nationality: American
Hometown: Midwest
Current Residence: New York
Occupation: Professional Dancer
Salary: $25,000/year
Talents/Skills: Accomplished dancer, supplements income by teaching dance
Birth order: Unknown
Significant Others (describe relationship): Unknown
Physical Characteristics: Petite and thin, he's very flexible, but probably should have grown taller and thicker than he really is. He got teased a lot as a kid for having a big head and carries a bit of a complex about it to this day, however he can't ever seem to gain weight on his slender frame (nor does he want to, as a professional dancer.)
Height: 5'5"
Weight: 105
Race: Caucasian
Eye Color: Blue
Hair Color: Dark Brown (natural)
Glasses or contact lenses: Contacts
Skin color: Normal, not tanned, not pale.
Distinguishing features: strong nose, large head, full lips and large eyes.
Dress: Boyish emo, unique style, perfers dance-inspired clothing.
Habits: smoker (why are so many dancers smokers anyways?)
Health: average. Gets colds when the weather changes, coughs due to smoking.
Hobbies: Dance, clubbing, photography.
Favorite Sayings: konnichiwa, bitches! Holaaaa. Yuh-huh....
Greatest flaw: how easily he can become addicted to things or people.
Best quality: Being the glue that holds groups of people together.
Intellectual/Mental/Personality Attributes and Attitudes
Educational Background: College degree
Intelligence Level: Average
Character's short-term goals in life: Maintain a steady job
Character's long-term goals in life: Direct his own dance troupe.
How he sees himself: A little fish in a big pond...except when he's clubbing. Then he's the hot shit.
What would most embarass him: Meeting the people he's let down in his life
Likes: Dance, music, indian food, quiet time, body mods
Dislikes: Conflict, addiction, being left behind.
As far as Laz is concerned, I doubt I will ever reincarnate him. He was my first character and I was extremely attached to him, but he was also a huge emotional drain on me. His character is a lot to deal with mentally, takes up a lot of energy. The one thing that's always surprised me about my dolls, about my characters, is that they're rarely people that I'd like to be friends with in real life. Tiriel just isn't the type of person I'd hang out with, and Laz...well...he just turned bad toward the end. Not that I won't ever RP him again, Laz has his place as stress relief but he has ceased to be an entity that I care to carry around with me day to day.
So...thus begins the wait for Tir! I'm excited to be back in the "scene," to meet some new people and see how ABJDs have grown since I've last been deeply involved.
Ciao for now!
