Just a few more sips.
Just a few more sips til my drink is all gone. That's okay though, because I need sleep. But first, I have a lot of things to write about and express. The actual entry has not started, or has it? I like to think it hasn't, yet it will basically start after the next period.
I am so happy. Everyone in th pkmncollectors community has been so utterly fantastic to me. I: am so happy that I've joined that community. I've started making a little bit of a collection now, and everything is still coming in. I am going to get some cleaning done today and move stuff around to make room for the shelf which was bought to store plushies in for display. Got a real nice price on it, too. $125 for a five-layered shelf made of actual wood with a mirror in the back. The door of it is glass and it looks really nice. It also have some cabinets at the bottom, came with two little addons which store items as well (like games/consoles, etc.) as well as a very well-constructed mirror, and a paper mache parrot made in Mexico in the 60s. The parrot was free and looks incredible, I'll have to take pictures of it soon. Similar parrots on eBay were going for over $85, and certain ones were going over $1600...but, this parrot is not for sale. I really like him. He's old and he has very nice colors on him...so, the bird stays.
I have a houndour plush coming in today, which is another big plus. I can't wait to get it in the mail since it evolves into my favorite pokemon. I bought it from a seller who is the same age and is from the same state that I'm in. He didn't come with his hangtag, but that's okay - because I bought a second one for around the same price with both tags. Can't wait to get both of them in. The second houndour comes in on the 24th, so one day after the first. So excited to get those little guys. I plan on collecting the houndour plushies.
I need to find someone that can design a great custom Houndoom plushie next, as there is not a lot of Houndoom merchandise...I have no idea why. It could be because Houndoom is not a 'popular' pokemon, yet it is so great looking. I love it so much. So, hopefully I can obtain my dream Houndoom plushie.
Another great thing that happened is that I won the auction for a Sceptile plush for $60. That's still a steep price, but it is a great price for Sceptile. He is a rare pokedoll next to Blaziken (who is probably the most popular out of the three) and Swampert. I think that Sceptile might be more rare though, even if he is wanted the least (I actually have no idea which one is wanted the most, to tell you the truth...but the Sceptile does actually look incredible, I can't wait to get him in, assuming the group actually wins the auction so that I can pay!)
Next month is going to be a big month with school and whatnot. I will be able to expand the collection a little more if I'd like, but I will be slowing down since I've already bought so much for the new collection. It will be a great collection regardless!
In a final, random note - I was so happy to see that Wal-Mart had finally restocked Mike's Hard Lemonade. I had been wanting some for awhile, and it had gone down about $1 in price. I was happy about this. The silly thing is, bottled water has actually gone up in price by $1. Oh well, I am actually finishing a bottle of Mike's as I am writing this. Once I finish, I am going to go to bed and wake up to an incredible day tomorrow, which I am going to spend part of it with the person who peaks my interest the most. Hmm, I wonder who that could be. :)
I need to get my uploads sorted out for YouTube since I've been so busy lately. I actually have quite a few of them to upload, including a lot of TCG videos (Zekrom Tins #2/#3, Dragons Exalted booster box opening episodes 1-6, terrible fake pokemon card openings (I blame ebay) episodes 1-4, one episode of Pokemon XD, an episode of White 2, a gift package opening from Odairu27, and more. I have a lot of stuff. I also need to see the first few assignments for my current college courses so that I can get everything in order.
Lots of stuff to do, basically, but I will get it done. I actually feel so achieved lately. It must be age getting to me, but I am starting to feel a lot more responsible. I hate getting old, but I love feeling like I am achieving a lot, so that's a plus.
So, why not list a few goals before I go to sleep:
- Finish my final semester of college with scores of 90-100
- Hit 15,000 subscribers before the year is over
- Maintain a beautiful plush collection
- Complete my Pokemon DS game collection (Need Japanese Heart Gold, Japanese White!)
- Find the creator of my dream plush
I'm sure that there are more, but I'm all out of Mike's Hard Lemonade - so I will stop writing for now!
