Meet My Friends Post Five
We still aren't done with the initial set of "Meet My Friends" posts that I wrote, so let's keep going!
The Fairy Godmother
.jpg)
Personality: Sweet, giving, caring, nurturing, I like to help Poca make things sometimes.
Favorite Thing to Do: Make other dolls happy!
How I'm Like Movie Fairy Godmother: We're so similar, it's like watching myself!
How I'm Different from Movie Fairy Godmother: I love to paint and I have a name, Holly.
One Fun Fact: I don't have feet!
Giselle

Personality: Innocent, dreamer, musical, outgoing, a little naïve.
Favorite Thing to Do: Daydream!
How I'm Like Movie Giselle: I love to sing and I believe in the power of True Love's Kiss. I also believe that there is goodness in almost everyone- you just have to coax it out.
How I'm Different from Movie Giselle: I'm not particularly gullible and woodland creatures have never come when I sing. I've never even seen a chipmunk up close!
One Fun Fact: I adore vanilla ice cream.
Cinderella
.jpg)
Personality: Quiet, determined, not shy or outgoing, clean, neat, tidy, dreamer.
Favorite Thing to Do: Tidy up!
How I'm like Movie Cinderella: I'm fairly introverted and quiet, I dream of finding romance, and I'm in charge of cleaning up our shelves.
How I'm Different from Movie Cinderella: I refuse to wear rags, I'm terrified of mice, and I clean by choice. Also, I do NOT wear rags. Ever. This princess likes her glass slippers.
One Fun Fact: Aurora and I are best friends, but we're complete opposites. She's outgoing and easily angered, while I'm more reserved and easygoing.
Esmeralda
.jpg)
Personality: Loyal, feisty, independent, I want to help other dolls, a bit of a romantic (aren't we all?)
Favorite Thing to Do: Help Meg with her blog!
How I'm Like Movie Esmeralda: I can hold my own in a fair fight and I have a heart for the outcast. I also love to dance!
How I'm Different from Movie Esmeralda: I am not an outcast here (although I was in my old home) and there is no creepy Judge Frollo here (thank heavens!)
One Fun Fact: When my leg broke, I worried that I wouldn't be able to dance but I made a full recovery and I still can.

May 16-23, 2014: Catching Up
May 16
Two new dolls came today, Adam and Annabel. They're a brother and a sister- Adam is a Disney Store Classic Beast doll and Annabel is a Mattel Ballerina Belle Doll. Adam has no shoes, but otherwise both were a beautiful thrift store find for MyLittleMegara. Adam even has his jacket and Beast head!
When I asked Belle what she thought about Adam, she responded that she would "wait to get to know him before I even CONSIDER romance." She did say she thought he was cute, though.
May 17
Today I officially got my site! I AM THRILLED!
May 22
Wave 3 came through today (Wave 1 being Hannah and Wave 2 being Adam and Annabel.) A Simba Ariel doll named Traci and a Mattel Jasmine named Zia. MyLittleMegara said that Zia didn't have any clothes, so Ariel very graciously offered up her blue dress. That way, Zia wouldn't be utterly humiliated when she had to meet us, "us" being myself, Ariel, Hannah, Vivian, and Jasmine. Both dolls were very nice- Traci was every synonym for bubbly and perky and fun I can think of, although Zia was more reserved, with a brooding, interesting face. We gave them their presents: a dolphin for Traci and an MLP Lotus Blossom for Zia (even though we're all technically adults and don't really play with toys, we've found that a small gift helps new dolls feel more welcomed and will help them settle in better.) When we sat and chatted for a while, we found that Traci loves to sing and only has one leg- the good news is that she has a fin, so it doesn't really show. Zia is a little quiet, although she's a total math whiz and a bit of a Shakespearian. She and Hannah hit it off right away. They share a lot of the same interests (namely Shakespeare and My Little Pony) so they decided to become roommates.
May 23
Oh, oh my goodness. MyLittleMegara just informed me that she's looking into buying a Hercules! She said that I shouldn't hold my breath, but there was at least a 25% chance that she'd be able to buy him. I know that I should be excited, and I am... sort of. But I'm also worried.
I have never told anyone about this and it's about to go up on the internet. I can't believe it.
Okay, I'm worried because, once, there was a Herc in my life. I knew him for a week; it was the shortest amount of time I've ever been in a home. I was purchased in a Salvation Army to be resold on eBay for a better price. While there, I met some other dolls who were in the same situation. One was a Hercules.
Would I say we were in love? No. Not quite. But we bonded immediately, and I felt like there was a spark that, given time, could grow into a flame.
We didn't have time to find out, though, because I was sold.
That was 2009. It's been five years- I thought I'd gotten over it. I guess not.
What if we get a Herc and it is him? It's a one-in-a-million chance. What if I love him but he loves another doll? And what if it isn't him? Will I hate him or grow to adore him? The Herc I knew before had been little more than an infatuation. Would it even matter? AAAARGH!
I doubt I'll get any sleep tonight.

I hope this post made sense- so much happened in the spring that I'm trying to condense it so that I'll be able to catch up and hopefully stay caught up to my life as it is now. :)

We've had a new arrival!
She's a Hannah Montana that Mama found at Goodwill (which explains why we now have a Hannah Montana doll- she's never been a fan) and she's actually quite nice- and very different from any expectation we might have had about Hannah Montana dolls in general.
Here's her interview:
Hannah
.jpg)
Personality: Somewhat shy (although I like to act), quiet, nerdy, I love Shakespeare, into fashion
Favorite Thing to Do: Read or act in Shakespeare
How I'm Like TV Hannah: Other than a fondness for clothes and acting, I'm really not. Association with Miley Cyrus does nothing but upset me.
How I'm Different from TV Hannah: I can't sing (at least not in public... eep!) and I dropped the "Montana" from my name the day "Wrecking Ball" came out. From then on, I vowed to be my own doll and to not be bogged down by others' less than satisfactory expectations for me.
One Fun Fact: It is my dream to play Rosalind or Lady Macbeth.

As for her roommate, she doesn't have one yet. Nobody has any space- we're all doubled up and there's no way she could triple up!

Meet My Friends Post Four
Time to introduce some of the rest of my friends! Obviously, some dolls have been mentioned that I haven't posted the interviews for, but I only have so much time on the computer every few days so please be patient.
Pocahontas
.jpg&container=blogger&gadget=a&rewriteMime=image%2F*)
.jpg){kind=link}
Personality: Earthy, go-with-the-flow attitude,
Favorite Thing to Do: Make things out of found or recycled objects and make little tutorials on my page.
How I'm Like Movie Pocahontas: I'm fairly daring, I love nature, and I make the best of what I've got.
How I'm Different from Movie Pocahontas: I'm not too inclined to trust strangers and I make things for fun, not necessity.
One Fun Fact: Everyone calls me Poca. :D
Merida
.jpg)
Personality: Fearless, independent, free spirit, rebel, athletic, loving but a bit gruff, chatty
Favorite Thing to Do: Have target practice with Mulan
How I'm Like Movie Merida: I'm very competitive, brave, and rebellious. I love Celtic knots and I have a tender heart- deep down.
How I'm Different from Movie Merida: I actually love my dress and I prefer sword play to archery. I also believe in trying to sort things out in a disagreement before trying to turn someone into a bear, even by accident...
One Fun Fact: MyLittleMegara says that when she was little, she had a friend that looked just like me. I find this a little creepy, personally, but I thought I should share.
Jane Porter
.jpg)
Personality: Silly, bookish, sweet, loyal, smart, and artsy.
Favorite Thing to Do: Joke around with my friends :)
How I'm Like Movie Jane: I'm quirky, I'm smart, and I'm willing to trust people and give them second chances.
How I'm Different from Movie Jane: I love the colors blue and purple and I'd rather not go into the jungle when I can snuggle under a blanket with some classical music playing and read or sketch.
One Fun Fact: If I could be any other Disney character, it would be Elsa. I identify with her in a way I can't explain.
