11:55 starcat I hit my sodium yesterday almost exactly ^_^

11:55 starcat And got my calories done well too~

17:30 starcat man Netflix is AWESOME.

17:30 starcat AWESOME I SAY

17:32 Bucket What'd you get?

17:33 starcat Chicago, Stardust, and Night at the Museum

17:33 starcat All three I've seen before of course

17:33 starcat but what REALLY clinches the deal are the instant ones

17:33 starcat Yesterday while I was waiting for these to show up

17:33 starcat I watched...

17:33 starcat let's see, what DID I watch

17:33 starcat Little Shop of Horrors and The Music Man

17:33 starcat oh, and Jumanji.

17:34 starcat Jumanji PURELY because I mentioned it here.

17:34 starcat Instant movies are so freaking awesome.

17:34 starcat I don't even have to wait for a torrent or anything. AND they're great quality.

17:35 starcat For the price of ONE new release at the store I get as much as I can watch.

17:35 starcat Perfect for knitting. <3

17:35 Bucket Coo.

17:35 starcat (L) (L) (L) I am in lurve with Netflix

19:04 starcat oh and I watched Singin' in the Rain last night too <3

19:04 starcat When I get to watch so many movies I can't even remember the ones I watch

19:04 starcat THAT is awesome

19:05 Bucket Heh.

19:19 UltraMatt Singin' in the Rain is an awesome musical

19:27 starcat the most amazing thing is that the songs were put together first, and the musical was made after that

19:30 UltraMatt I love those old musicals

19:33 starcat yeah ^_^

19:33 starcat I need to watch more of the classics

19:33 UltraMatt my favorite: Seven Brides for Seven Brothers

19:33 starcat Hehehe, that one's on my list to rewatch!

19:34 starcat I'll probably put that on later :D

19:34 starcat I think now I'm going to look into Ghostbusters 2

19:34 UltraMatt ooo

19:34 starcat Yes it's not as good as the original but it's still fun ^_^

19:34 UltraMatt I've got Poirot going on right now

19:34 UltraMatt for about the hundredth time

19:37 starcat ever seen 1776?

19:37 starcat I've heard one of the songs on the Sirius Broadway channel and I really liked it so I'm going to try it.

19:37 UltraMatt actually no

19:38 UltraMatt but when I was at my college library I saw it there

19:38 UltraMatt and I was considering checking it out

19:39 starcat i'll let you know if I like it ^_^

19:39 UltraMatt alright ^_^

19:45 Bucket I saw 1776 in middle school once, it was pretty fun.

20:04 starcat "Now is the season of evil"

20:04 starcat Great writing, guys.

20:11 starcat "The blackout was a big problem. I was stuck in an elevator for two hours. But I don't blame them because one time I turned into a dog and they helped me out."

20:18 UltraMatt XD

22:40 Mango-chan hmmm

22:40 Mango-chan I finally wrote the plan for my story

22:40 Mango-chan kinda almost halfway through the story XD

22:52 starcat hey it counts <_<

22:52 Mango-chan yeah

22:52 starcat this guy once asked me for opinions on his story, like editing help

22:53 Mango-chan I had no idea what I was going to do next

22:53 starcat I read it and suggested he at least have an idea of where he was going with it <_<

22:53 Mango-chan *nod*

22:53 starcat he...didn't show it to me again and I don't think he ever did anything else with it XD;

22:53 Mango-chan XD

22:53 Mango-chan maybe he'll pick it up again

22:53 starcat I know that's why mine failed.

22:53 starcat Maybe someday.

22:54 starcat I'd like to write but I don't know what I would write!

22:54 Mango-chan sometimes ideas just come to mind

22:54 Mango-chan and you have to write them down

22:54 Mango-chan I got a bunch of ideas at work once

22:56 starcat yeah.

22:56 Mango-chan I wish I had written them down but I have an idea

22:59 starcat hmm.

22:59 starcat I wonder what I could write about.

23:00 starcat don't think I'd go for a full novel

23:00 starcat just 10,000 words

23:00 starcat short story

23:00 Mango-chan *nod*

23:02 Mango-chan Holy crap

23:02 starcat ?

23:02 Mango-chan this girl I met last week goes to purchase

23:02 Mango-chan er

23:02 Mango-chan the school I go to

23:02 Mango-chan oh noes I have revealed where I go to school

23:02 starcat noes

23:03 starcat and I can't erase it D:

23:03 Mango-chan it's okay

23:03 starcat though you've also linked your facebook stuff here so...

23:03 starcat anyways

23:03 Mango-chan XD

23:03 starcat is this good?

23:03 Mango-chan it's cool

23:04 Mango-chan well yeah

23:04 Mango-chan because now I'm going to meet her IRL

23:04 Mango-chan and be like *pesterpester* you have my picture!

23:05 starcat XD

23:06 Mango-chan Oh noes!

23:06 Mango-chan she's a creative writing major!

23:07 Mango-chan the bane of my existance because I can't get in T_T

23:12 Mango-chan HOLY CRAP everyone I know ends up knowing eachother

23:12 Mango-chan what is this madness?!?!

23:24 starcat Hahaha.

23:25 starcat dammit, why is it impossible to find a non-cabled flared knit legwarmer :<

23:27 starcat er

23:27 starcat pattern that is.

23:27 Mango-chan o_o

23:27 Mango-chan well

23:28 Mango-chan my guess would be because it's hard for them to stay up without the cable?

23:28 Mango-chan also holy crap I found Mary Alice's other glove

23:28 Mango-chan and I'm concerned about writing negative feedback on the seller still

23:28 Mango-chan I know it's been a few weeks and all

23:28 Mango-chan but she didn't write me feedback

23:28 Mango-chan so I feel like if I write her negative feedback

23:29 Mango-chan she's going to not write me positive feedback even though I did nothing wrong

23:29 starcat No.

23:29 starcat Cables are just designs

23:29 Mango-chan aah

23:29 starcat but they're tricky and you need special needles

23:29 starcat Leave neutral?

23:30 Mango-chan I was thinking that it was like an elastic

23:30 starcat nah :)

23:30 Mango-chan I could

23:30 starcat i'll show you

23:30 starcat Oh

23:30 starcat no wait nvm

23:30 Mango-chan I just feel that with the damage she recieved

23:30 Mango-chan the arm had to be glued

23:30 Mango-chan and the sticky eye

23:30 Mango-chan and ugh

23:31 starcat http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?ref=vt_related_1&listing_id=13644465

23:31 starcat leave negative

23:31 starcat you've tried to contact her, yes?

23:31 starcat oh

23:32 starcat I know

23:32 starcat Go to Failed Dolly Deals on Livejournal and ask for advice

23:32 Mango-chan Oh!

23:32 Mango-chan they can't leave you negative or neutral feedback

23:32 starcat (no they can't, I was going to say that, but the way you phrased it made it sound like you knew)

23:32 starcat http://community.livejournal.com/failed_d_deals/

23:32 Mango-chan well

23:32 Mango-chan I did

23:32 starcat although actually

23:33 Mango-chan but I'm still concerned

23:33 starcat Bad Dolly Deals might be better.

23:33 starcat I'd say try FDD first and if they think you should move it to BDD then go for it.

23:33 Mango-chan ok

23:34 Mango-chan but I did recieve the doll

23:34 Mango-chan so hmmm

23:34 starcat Yes.

23:34 starcat It's the condition that matters.

23:34 Mango-chan ooh

23:34 starcat The arm and the eye are important

23:34 starcat I mean the eye CAN'T have happened during shipping

23:35 starcat and even if the arm broke during shipping it's enough to warn others about

23:35 starcat that she doesn't ship well

23:35 starcat anyways http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?ref=vt_related_1&listing_id=13644465

23:35 starcat the pattern here is cables

23:35 starcat and also flared

23:35 Mango-chan I see

23:35 starcat it's exactly what I want only I don't want cables :<

23:36 starcat anyways

23:36 starcat the FDD community will have more help to offer you than I can :)

23:43 starcat actually I have something to post in Good Dolly Deals

23:49 Mango-chan if you say that a doll is like new

23:49 Mango-chan but there are defects

23:49 Mango-chan it's not like new right?

23:50 starcat No.

23:50 starcat Definitely not.

23:50 starcat Like new means exactly that -- like new.

23:50 starcat And even if it came with defects from the factory

23:50 starcat they should still be listed.

23:52 Mango-chan I feel really bad actually

23:52 Mango-chan because the seller was really polite

23:52 Mango-chan and this ended up happening

23:52 Mango-chan and it just...sucks

23:53 starcat well, even if they're polite, if they're not responding to messages you send

23:53 starcat it's not good business :/

23:53 Mango-chan well

23:53 Mango-chan she responded to my messages

23:53 Mango-chan and stuff

23:53 starcat about the defects?

23:53 Mango-chan yes.

23:53 Mango-chan it went like this

23:54 Mango-chan me> my doll's arm came broken, I'm not sure if it was shipping or not but the arms weren't tied down

23:54 Mango-chan her> the doll came like that you just pop it back in

23:54 Mango-chan and that was it from me

23:55 Mango-chan I didn't realize she had a sticky eye mech until very recently

23:55 Mango-chan because I thought it was sleep eye

23:55 Mango-chan and that I wasn't pressing the button right

23:55 Mango-chan but the other eye didn't close like that

23:56 Mango-chan but I didn't get back in touch with the seller

23:56 Mango-chan so argh

23:56 Mango-chan I should respond to her

23:56 Mango-chan and just ask about it

23:56 Mango-chan but there's not much she can do

23:57 Mango-chan I just wish she had stated in the item description that the arm popped off

23:57 Mango-chan instead of saying that it was like new

23:57 Mango-chan and that the eye mech wasn't correct

23:57 starcat well

23:57 starcat saying

23:57 starcat "it came like that" doesn't fix the problem

23:57 starcat it doesn't fix that she didn't say that

23:58 Mango-chan yeah

23:58 starcat Did you ask for a partial refund?

23:58 Mango-chan I did.

23:58 Mango-chan no dice.

23:58 Mango-chan I only asked for five dollars

23:58 Mango-chan considering it was ten dollars to ship

23:58 Mango-chan and she charged me 25

23:58 starcat Well, message her again and tell her about the eye issue you're having

23:58 starcat holy crap

23:59 Mango-chan I figured five dollars back wouldn't be a big ****ing deal

23:59 Mango-chan yes

23:59 Mango-chan I figured "oh the weight, okay"

23:59 starcat This sounds very much like at LEAST an FDD if not BDD :/

23:59 starcat The size, too

23:59 Mango-chan then on the box is this HUGE sticker that says "ten dollar shipping"
