out of my control/what did I get myself into?
Less hours at work, Michigan raising income tax, and having mostly saved money towards Unoa Zero since July I'm going to have to pass on two of the dolls I've really been wanting.
I've loved Jenn's Fei for the LONGEST and I wish I could snatch him up since she's taken the dive to sell him. But I don't have 250 to spend on his head, even if I do pass on buying the blythe I wanted I still don't think I'd have enough. I went from not being able to get an off day if I wanted to... to getting 3 in a row this week. And because all of this horrible tax business in Michigan being effective immediately I'm going to feel the hit on my very next check. I already get at least 1/3 of my measly checks taken out ever bi-weekly payday. I don't even know if I'll be getting the $172 left I need to have all the money for my Unoa Zero, let alone enough to even get the blythe I want.
Also it seems the other blythe I want (Princess à la Mode) is about 400 dollar at least on the second hand market. As much as I love PAM, I don't ever want to pay as much as a ball jointed doll for a blythe! (I mean she's not even a vintage Kenner blythe). I love her hair color,style and her default outfits.
I don't know anyone who customizes blythe dolls and I don't really want to crack into it myself (although truth be told compared to bjd faceups it looks simple enough to customize a blythe). Re-reooting seems like a pain and I don't know anything about it, from where to buy the hair or tools or even where to start. I just want to buy them as-is and enjoy them as they are but these prices make it very hard for me. I might have to do some research.
Also, Unoa Zero results. The paper actually says that the winners could be announced *anytime* between now and the middle of the month. I probably would've noticed this had I chose to believe it myself ;~; at least I'm thinking I will definitely have ALL the money I need for her by then. Times like this I really envy those with credit cards and nice jobs that buy dolls whenever the opportunity arise. But then I doubt I'd love them as much as I do.
Unfortunately as well, I just noticed I started the month on a total emo note! ORZ
