With no direction or home...

Wow. Two posts in the span of a week. This is rare.

Honestly I've been bored a lot lately. I should be writing a book, but I find that there's a lot less effort to come on here and ramble on than to come up with words to describe a character.

I make decisions based on how little effort I have to use. That's probably not a good thing.

Anyway, with the time that I should be using writing, I managed to fix up this blog for the first time in about a year and a half. The last theme/layout/template/whatever looked kind of outdated and kind of an eyesore, co I cleaned it up a little bit. It's nothing special really, but hopefully it's a little more appealing to look at now than it was before. 

I couldn't really think of a proper title for this post. I wanted to be original but yet I'm not very creative so I just stole from Bo-.

Actually, nevermind. I'm gonna let you guess who I'm referencing. Whoever names the person I'm quoting first gets...a high five.

Something or another.

Well hello there.

It's been around six or seven months since I last posted, which really isn't that surprising due to the context of my last post, and I don't know why but for the last couple of weeks or so I've been wanting to write a post on here. I just didn't know what to write.

First I was going to write something along the lines of how much Stardoll, among other things, has changed but then I decided against it because I got lazy. Then I was going to write another post about a subject that I have now forgotten. And then I just decided to write some sort of ramble post because it's my blog and I can do what I want.

No I'm not loosely quoting Miley Cyrus.

Anyway so here we are. I'm not exactly sure if anybody reads this blog anymore and if they do, I'm not sure why. My posts on this blog revolved around what I was doing on Stardoll or what was currently happening in the Stardoll universe. I started this blog in 2011, back when the main currency was Stardollars and there were only five ways to get Starpoints. The things I posted about back then are no longer relevant to anyone. Whether it be the people who were already considered "old members" during that time, the people who had just joined or all the new members that have come since, the posts really don't have a use anymore. 

And I guess that's the problem with Stardoll Blogs like mine. Your posts really don't stand the test of time. They're relevant for a certain time frame and then they just kind of expire. In retrospect, it's kind of depressing looking back and realizing that all the effort that I had put into reporting on the latest happenings on Stardoll was kind of a waste of time in the end.

But then again, that's just one side of the coin. My blog was also a document into where the site was back in that time, from my eleven year old perspective. Looking back on it is like taking a trip down memory lane, to see what once was and compare it to how things are today. And I guess that makes it all worthwhile, or at least for me it does.
It's a little weird to think that it has been four years since I joined Stardoll, but it's even weirder to think that some might consider me an "old member". Back in my first year of being on this site, I always felt like a brand new member. I remember wishing I had joined the previous year so I could experience all of the old Hotbuys and LE and all of the old store items that were released before I even knew what Stardoll was. It's insane to think that now somebody may wish that they were around when I was ( that's kind of a dumb statement because I'm pretty sure that there isn't anybody out there like that but you never know...). But I guess that's how things go.

(This should say 2014 on the last one but for some reason it didn't save like that)

I don't know what this post is really. Just kind of a little hello. I guess.

Most of what I said in my last post still remains true, but I do get bored a lot and lately I've been finding myself on Stardoll a lot more so don't be too surprised if you see a post here and there.

My Current Relationship with Stardoll.

Hello loves.

So for those who still read this lovely little blog, I apologize for the absence. I think the last time I posted was well over six months ago and...I'm sorry for that.

But that very cause is the reason why I'm here today. A little rant/lengthy ramble about how I currently feel about Stardoll. Feel free to disregard this post and continue to read other posts, but this one may explain a lot.

As of today, October 14th, 2013, I am thirteen years of age. I started this blog around three years ago, when I was simply just over ten. My whole experience with Stardoll had begun and I was simply fascinated and intrigued by it all. Dress up dolls and clubs and wow so much fun for a little ten year old like I was three years ago. This little high really lasted for a while. I felt the same way about it much as I entered the age of eleven. I was Royalty within less than a year, spent a shit load of money on this site, posted nearly every day on this here blog, made Stardoll Makeup Tutorials, I was determined to become something here. 

My thoughts and feelings during these time, up until mid last year anyway, have been well documented on this blog. It's self explanatory really.

However the determination of yesterdays past has long faded. And that's partially due to me growing up, of course I should've known that I couldn't be here forever. That'd be impossible. But Stardoll has changed too, rather drastically since I first joined - on that cloudy March day in 2010. Since then over 200,000,000 more members have joined (how many of them are real accounts is behind me), the layout has changed, and more features and contests have been introduced. Rather quickly, if I may add. I'm still on Stardoll of course. Just not doing what I used to. I've ventured into the world of roleplaying and own a little 600+ member club inwhich I've met some very wonderful friends in. My writing has improved significantly since my days here, and I'm quite happy with it all. I'm not departing from the site soon, by any means. I've spent too much money and time and effort on everything to give it away all so quickly. Like I said I have my club and such. This blog won't be going away either, but I wouldn't be expecting any new posts unless I hop on here one night and rant. Because in all honesty, it'd be impossible for me to keep it running regularly like I did back in 2011. I've been out of the main loop for well over a year, my Royalty membership expired well back in December, and like I mentioned it's not my place on this site anymore really. While most of the blogs I read have now faded into obscurity seemingly, there are still a lot of good Stardoll blogs around here to keep you up to date on things. I think USD is still running, I'm not sure what else to recommend really uh...

Anyway. I'm sorry that I couldn't keep going here. I'm sorry if I let anyone down, and I'm sorry if your disappointed. In a sense, I'm disappointed too. But nothing's perfect and we all have to move on.

If you are just joining the little Times family here then welcome to the blog. My name is Sara, this blog contains a lot of...stuff. Little pointless rambles about nothing. I hope you enjoy it. I enjoyed it too. It's something that I will always remember and cherish - which is why I'm not deleting the blog or anything. I can't. That just wouldn't be right.

If y'all want to keep in touch with me just pop me a message on Polyvore. You can find me right here. If you want Tumblr, Twitter, etc links - just ask. I'd be happy to give them to you.

( PS: My doll looks fabulous, doesn't she?) 

Hackers and stupidity.

Hey guys.

So I know I haven't really blogged in a while and I do apologize for that. I really don't have an excuse, since I actually have been on Stardoll

Except for the only thing I've been doing is roleplaying and occasionally checking into TRR.

So yeah.

However today someone popped up on my chat box and messaged me this. 

If you can't read this it says:

" Just thought I'd let you know, but on March 21st VixonVampiress is going to HACK Stardoll along with her "gang". Look at her presentation. They've already hacked Twitter and Facebook!"

I kind of tweaked that and re-arranged the words but you get the point here.

Out of curiosity I visited this girls page and read her presentation, and here's a screenshot:

Apparently the Pinkitas ( which what the heck is that anyway) are the gang that are supposedly going to hack Stardoll

Now people like this make me laugh because of the stupidity involved. Hacking websites is much harder than hacking accounts, because it involves a lot of intelligence when it comes to computers and the internet. Not to mention, it's illegal. If this "gang" hacked both Twitter and Facebook, which are two of the biggest social networking sites on the internet there is no doubt they would be caught and perhaps be put in jail for a certain amount of years. This is obviously just a hoax meant to scare other members, just like the infamous "Italian Mafia" thing back in the day. It's nothing more and certainly nothing to be worried about.

Refreshing.

Hey Guys,

So I don't know if you all have noticed or not, but I changed the layout and theme of the blog. Something a little more suitable for fall. Plus I like the vintage theme :)

I'm also working on a new Blogger/SD Twitter/ Formspring icon. So expect that to come here soon.

Stardoll Clothing Haul!

Hey,

So last summer I made a post called " Stardoll Clothing Haul." where I showed you all some things I recently purchased in the Starplaza. And since I'm bored I thought I would do another one.

As you can tell I numbered them. Why? Because I felt like it...XD

1.  Antoinette Skirt

Store: Starbazaar  (Tingling)

Price: 4 Stardollars

2. Hotbuys Zebra Heels

Store: Starbazaar ( Rio ♀)

Price: 24 Stardollars

Opinion: These were released in the summer, but I didn't get the chance to snatch them up before they left the Starplaza in late August.  24 stardollars isn't bad because I've seen people sell them for 40+.  I think they're cute and unique ☺

Store: Windows On The World

Price: 3 stardollars

Opinion: I like it. Nothing else to say.

4. Marfik Jacket

Store: Killah

Opinion: This jacket is very versatile and wearable, and that's why I bought it. Although 18 stardollars  is a little bit of a hefty price to pay but since it's so wearable it's worth it.

5. Hotbuys Denim Corset top

Store: Starbazaar ( Rio ♀)

Price: 18 Stardollars ( Originally 20)

Opinion: Don't really have much to say about this, the only reason why I bought it is because it was 18 stardollars and looked sort of cute. 

6. Brown Cardigan

Store: Archive ( It Girls)

Price: 6 Stardollars

Opinion: Another item I bought because of it's cheap price. That and it looks like something good for fall.

7. Mizar Shirt

Price: 14 Stardollars

Opinion: I LOVE THIS SHIRT! It's so spring like and pretty, I love it! 

8. Bryant Flower Shirt

Store: Miss Sixty

Price: 16 stardollars

Opinion: The prize of my haul. I love it! It's so summer-y and perfect for a hippie look. It's on my doll right now and I love it ☺

9. Hotbuys Diamond Print Frock

Store: Original Future

Price: 22 stardollars

Opinion: It's unique, and if you paired if with a simple blazer and proper accessories it would look like a really good outfit. That's why I bought it ☺

10. Nude Forties Blouse

Store: Windows on the world

Price: 81 starcoins

Opinion: Simple, pretty, I like it.

11. Queen of Sogo shirt

13. Daisy mini skirt

It's now 2:00 AM. I'm exhausted, good night!

Happy Halloween!( and what my doll is for Halloween...)

Hey!

So you know what today is, right?

It's October 31st, meaning it's Halloween!

As I said in my Halloween post from last year, every Halloween I do a fun doll.

So this year I decided to be...

a Gothic Bride!

Now the makeup look was actually pretty easy. It had to be dramatic  but dark as well. So here's the products I used:

Not a whole lot, but enough.

Anyway I've got to run, but have a nice Halloween!

xoxo Sara
