You may wonder how someone who's so poor has so many dolls in her pre-orders and layaway sidebar. The key word is LAYAWAY. Because I get so little money a month (FYI - going crazy to get off work isn't exactly a lucrative insurance scam if there are people out there who think those with mental illness do it to just leech of society. You wind up poor. And crazy.) Like... you're so below the poverty line poor that you can't even SEE the poverty line.
But I still love IT dolls. It's a rich person's hobby, and since I'm sooo not rich, I must rely on deals of a lifetime, being choosy with retail price dolls, and the kindness of those who take installment plans. Because of this, I'm a very loyal shopper with my dolly friends. I have a few people who I know trust that I will pay them in a timely (if not exactly speedy) fashion, and if they're unloading, I'm right there like a parasite, glomping onto them like a tick. But unlike most ticks, I don't just continuously suck blood. I do it in micro payments. I also don't cause lyme disease. I am the Installment Plan Tick.
This not only means that I can still get new dolls, but I've forged online friendships, and I've also gotten the chance to get some REALLY awesome dolls I could never afford to get if I had to pay all at once. I just want to thank Jo and Kimberley and Jenn for letting me be their Installment Plan Tick. You don't know how much it's appreciated, since when I'm in my black periods, dolls are one of the very few things that can make me want to crawl out of bed and check the mailbox.
Ticks can live for 18 years without blood (!!!!!!), and I'm sure I could totally survive just fine for 18 years without dolls. But I don't want to, so THANK YOU!
