WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS SHIT I HEAR ABOUT THEM DISCONTINUING KIRSTEN?!

And I find out on St. Lucia Day, no less! >:/

EDIT: WTF SAMANTHA IS GONE WTF WHY HOW DID I NOT KNOW ABOUT THIS WTF RAEG

Happy birthday to people who've had/are having birthdays. Too many mid-December babies. Someone's parents were hammered on St. Patrick's Day. I'm just sayin'.

(Other than that, I'm kinda bored. Trying to write, and making a little progress. Over 4000 words, now. No, Olua, it's not for you.)

Dude, I don't even wanna TELL you how bad my mother, sister, and I took the news of them discontinuing Sam. They did it in May: we didn't find out until August. DX

It was awful. *sniff* but at least we still have OUR Samantha.

What.

WHAT.

They made her into a movie, I thought she was SURE to stay! D< And Grandmary was so BADASS. Dammit, I knew I should have been suspicious of Rebecca.... 1914's way too close. WTF

(Felicity is safe, right? I mean, they wouldn't discontinue the Revolution, would they? :::hugs her Lissie:::)

*sniffies*

If Sam was first and Kirsten was second...

...my thoughts are that Molly and Felicity are next. ;^; which sucks, cuz those are mine. DX

*can't hug her dolls: they're back home* DX

They can't get rid of the Revolutionary War or WWII ones! Those were, like, THE MOST PATRIOTIC TIMES our country has ever SEEN. WTF.

If they get rid of those, they get rid of AMERICA. ... :::snickers as she thinks of terrible things:::

...I can totally imaging this being said in that South Park red-neck stereotype voice.

"THEY TOOK OUR DOLLS!"

"TERK YER DERRSS!"

"DERP DER DERRZZ!"

I haven't watched South Park in forever.

THEY ARE DOING WHAT!?!?!?!?!?

*looks at other comments*

GOAHGAOIGHA BUT SAMANTHA'S LIKE, THE FAVORITE I THOUGHT!!!!!

*is so behind on American Girl news*

*goes to hug her Addy doll*

[identity profile] omgimsuchadork.livejournal.com 2009-12-14 05:48 am (UTC)(link)
YEAH. YOU READ THAT CORRECTLY.

I know, right, they made a MOVIE about Samantha! What's Rebecca got that Samantha ain't got?! other than parents. yup, i'm going to hell.

I'm behind on news, too, this makes me want to get back into it again, but it's SO EXPENSIVE @_@

I think Felicity, Addy, and Molly are keepers. They wouldn't get rid of the Revolutionary, Civil, or Second World War-era dolls.

[identity profile] insanityin3d.livejournal.com 2009-12-14 06:01 am (UTC)(link)
LOL at orphan joke.

Um, I think it's important to point out that this Rebecca chick is Russian. So. Run for the hills. *gone*

[identity profile] omgimsuchadork.livejournal.com 2009-12-14 06:02 am (UTC)(link)
Hey, she's American now, or she wouldn't be here. ... IN AMERICA. /shot

(OH GOD I AM THINKING AWFUL THINGS... lol)

[identity profile] digitalhopper.livejournal.com 2009-12-14 06:03 am (UTC)(link)
I'm like, really in shock.

Everyone I knew had a Samantha dolls! I thought if anything she'd be the safest!!!!

Probably. @@ And who the foink is Rebecca oO?

[identity profile] omgimsuchadork.livejournal.com 2009-12-14 06:06 am (UTC)(link)
Rebecca is the newest one to come along. 1914, Russian immigrant, Jewish, lives in New York City (as opposed to not-too-far-Upstate New York, she's totally Sam's replacement and I am NOT COOL with this).

Okay so she sees the start of WWI. Big deal, we've already got WWII, which was a far cooler war. >.>;; If wars can be described as "cool."

I FOUND OUT ABOUT THIS YESTERDAY WITH SAM. IT MAKES ME WANT TO DO FANART OF THAT GODDAMN DOLL. I loved samantha to bits. BITS.

DO IT.

P.S. How the hell have you been, woman? I haven't heard from you in ages! :::sends end-year cheer:::

[identity profile] mightyomnivore.livejournal.com 2009-12-14 06:21 am (UTC)(link)
Didn't that movie have Chris O'Donnel ("Robin") in it and Dakota Fanning?

Also, I had no idea you had this kind of interest :o

[identity profile] omgimsuchadork.livejournal.com 2009-12-14 06:25 am (UTC)(link)
LOL WUT NO

Shut up. I'm allowed to be a girl. XD It was a very long time ago, way before we met. I forced myself to give it up in high school because the stories were meant for younger girls, half my age then. But yeah, I obsessed over this shit when I was little! I have two dolls, and one of their bedroom sets. Never got much more than that because it was all so expensive. @_@ (They did sell clothing patterns, you can bet your ass the fledgling sewer I was tried to make her dolls some clothes.)

Thank you for the birthday wishes!

OMGWHAAAAT? Samantha's gone??? And Kirsten's next????!! WTF ARE THEY DOING?

OMG if they stop Addy, I WILL CUT A BITCH because Addy was the fiercest of them all.

[identity profile] omgimsuchadork.livejournal.com 2009-12-14 04:27 pm (UTC)(link)
I DON'T KNOW AND THESE NEW GIRLS REPLACING THEM AREN'T COOL (Do we really need a girl from the 1970s already? Christ, it's only been thirty years. We waited at least forty for Molly!)

I'm not kidding: Samantha and Kirsten helped me get that A in American history class two years ago. Kirsten helped me remember that a lot of homesteaders were Scandinavian (oh hey, Minnesota, what's up), and I might have written an essay loosely based around Nellie. >.>;;

I think if any of them are going to be safe, it's going to be Felicity, Addy, and Molly, since they're tied to three very important wars. Felicity's and Molly's were two of THE most patriotic times in our country's history, and you're right: Addy was the fucking fiercest of them all. She was a fucking RUNAWAY SLAVE at nine years old. Mrs. Walker was no slouch, either. I fucking loved Addy's mom. They were both hardcore!

It's this Rebecca bitch that's throwing a monkey wrench in all of it, though. She's the newest one, but she's from the early 20th Century and from New York -- so we can't have Samantha and Nellie anymore -- and she's also an immigrant learning to be American while staying true to who she was -- so we can't have Kirsten anymore (get this: she's even got a cousin named Ana, WTF). She's the one who needs to GTFO.

Yeah, but that's just the style of doll. I wouldn't criticize any artist who does faces all the same if that's his style. :::shrug::: But they did, eventually, make new face molds, for the Today dolls, the Girl of the Year dolls, and the American Girl who's Nez Perce (they consider it offensive to bear one's teeth, so she's the only one who's not really smiling).

There's a new girl that kinda takes Samantha's and Kirsten's shticks and combines them, rendering the other two unnecessary. Yeah, IDK either. Samantha, especially, was popular. I don't get it. :| Man I'd go out and buy a Kirsten doll RIGHT NOW except it's the fucking holidays, which means now I'll never get one. D

"They kind of remind me of an army of evil children, hahaha."

This is true, and the premise of so many movies.... Dolls are scarier than clowns, trufax.

I wasn't ever into the dolls, either, more the series, but that they're retiring one of the originals and one of the popular ones, it just doesn't make sense. :/

Samantha, Kirsten, and Molly were the first three AGs ever. They're the ones me and my sisters have. But I don't understand why they would do that! History is very important. And did you ever go to the American Girl store? That place is so cool.

[identity profile] omgimsuchadork.livejournal.com 2009-12-16 04:44 am (UTC)(link)
I went there once, a bunch of years ago, when I used to work at Radio City (so Rockefeller Center was right there). I was floored, and at the same time very disappointed that I had nowhere near enough money for all the crap I wanted. T^T

*mad late on the news*

Whaaaaaa? That's my childhood there too! They BETTER not discontinue Felicity, the redhead =D, or I'll be pissssssed. I think I still have my Addy doll somewhere in my house.

[identity profile] omgimsuchadork.livejournal.com 2009-12-29 01:32 am (UTC)(link)
I know! D:<

I think if anyone's safe, it's Felicity, Addy, and Molly. Rev War, Civ War and WWII? The most patriotic (uhhhh, hello rebel south XD) times in this country's history? Yeah, not goin' anywhere.
