I'm so late to this.

Thank you to everyone who wished me a happy birthday. :D I saw them, and they made me smile, but I just forgot to reply. *laughs and bangs her head on the desk.* I'm sorry. I really do appreciate you, and love you. :)

It was a good birthday.

I got some extra tips today from a customer, so what did I do?

... Well, I put half of it in the bank, because all of my bills were paid/are going to be paid on the 25th.

But what else did I do??

I BOUGHT A TICKET TO SEE THE BARBIE MOVIE ON FRIDAY!!!!

And, since I had some play money left (After all the responsible stuff was taken care of, of course), I bought the Ken and Barbie dolls from the movie (the Ryan Gosling and Margot Robbie dolls).

The Mattel HQ retail store was out of the Margot Barbie dolls, but they had Kens up the bum. I asked the associate if they were getting any more in, and she said no. "What's out there in the wild is what's out there."

So I bought a Ken, and a $5.99 barbie so I could swap outfits with the Margot Barbie. (I'm going back later to get a Eugene doll - Flynn Rider). Then went to Target and found the LAST MARGOT BARBIE!

I'm scared to take her out of the box, but I've never been the kind of person to keep cool stuff in their boxes.

Stuff is made to be used. Toys are made to be played with Not just looked at. :)

These are the first barbies I've bought since I had an allowance. My sister collects barbies, but she keeps them in their boxes. I understand the value of keeping them in mint condition, but why do that if you're not going to sell them, or play with them? They're just... there.

I don't know. *shrugs* I wasn't the kid you gave collectables to.

I was the kid you gave toys to that would go on all kinds of imagination-fueled adventures and come back covered in mud, marker, or weird haircuts.

Like... PLAY WITH THEM!

Anyway, they weren't that expensive, so I had some money left over for a poke bowl for dinner. :)

Now, for the movie, I have pink clothes.

I actually bought bright pink clothes to wear, because I want to roller skate from Venice to the Santa Monica Pier and back. I haven't yet for some reason. May do that this Saturday or something. :)

I intend to wear these pink clothes.

And I'll bring one of the dolls, because I know it's Friday, the premier, at a later time, so everyone there will be adults just as weird as I am. :) I will be in good company.

All in all, a great birthday.

................................. The Mattel store has the dream house for $180. *deep breath* It's a good thing I don't have $180. :D I really want that house. And the corvette.

And yes, I had barbies as a kid, and I played with them. And I had one whom I cut her hair and gave her weird clothes. I had a Weird Barbie I named Holly - after the human character in the kids puppet show called "Under the Umbrella Tree" that I liked to watch when I was a kid. :)

*update* I FOUND PEACH BLOSSOM BARBIE ON EBAY FOR $23!!!!! That was one of the barbies I had as a kid! It was one that was given away with the rest of my barbies without me being asked first if I'd be ok with giving them away until AFTER the fact.

Like, yeah, but, some I wanted to keep. :( I pretended that I didn't care, but inside I actually did care. I was upset that I wasn't even consulted.

My niece got them (I think). To my knowledge, she still has them, and the dream house.

It was ages ago, so I haven't been made for years. I hope she passes them on to her kids and tells them the story of Holly, the Weird Barbie. :)

#barbie #my birthday stuff #Haha. I'm old. *sobbing into my soup*#I thought by now that I'd have a yard where I could sit on the porch and yell at kids to stay out of it.#But I rent a room that faces the courtyard of the apartment complex and I don't have that kind of juristiction.#I kid. :)#I'd honestly be that person who puts up a swing on a tree in my front yard so kids could come by and play on it.#Or adults.#People just like swings. *shrugs* We're primates.
