Lol. I want to try this. I told Samantha we should but...she didn't want to. Although I am a big baby. I probably couldn't go through with it.

I found this ritual here: [link]
It has a lot of cool scary stories and stuff. You should check it out. Anyway, here's the ritual. It's pretty creepy.

-----------------------------------------------

Introduction:

The one-man hide and seek, aka the one-man tag, is a ritual for contacting the dead.

The spirits which are wandering restless on the earth are always looking for bodies to possess. In this ritual you summon such a spirit by offering it a doll instead of a human body.

Warning: If you have psychic abilities you may feel unwell or be prone to accidents during the ritual.

Things you need:

+ A Stuffed Doll with limbs
+ Some Rice (enough to stuff the doll full)
+ A Needle and a Crimson Thread
+ A Sharp-Edged Tool (such as a Knife, a Glass Shard, or Scissors)
+ A Cupful of Salt (natural salt would be best)
+ A Hiding Place (preferably a room purified by incense and ofuda)
---------------------------------------------
Preparation:

1. Take all the cotton (or whatever it is stuffed with) out of the doll, and stuff it instead with rice*1.
2. Clip a bit of your nails and put them inside the doll, and sew the opening up with the crimson thread. When you finish sewing, tie up the doll with the rest of the thread *2.
3. Pour water into a bathtub.
4. Place a cup of salt water inside the hiding place.
-----------------------------------------------
How To Do It:

1.Give a name to the doll (the name could be anything but your own)
2.When it is 3 am, say to the doll "__(your name) is the first it," three times.
3.Go to the bathroom and put the doll into the water-filled bathtub.
4.Turn off all lights in the house, go back to the hiding place and switch on the TV.
5.When you have counted ten with your eyes closed, go back to the bathroom with the edged tool (a knife, etc) in your hand.
6.When you get there, say to the doll ,"I have found you, __(the doll's name)," and stab the doll with the edged tool*3.
7. Say "You are the next it, __(the doll's name)," as you put the doll back in its place.
8.As soon as you have put the doll down, run back to the hiding place and hide.
------------------------------------------
How To Finish It:

1. Pour half the cup of salt water into your mouth (don't drink it; keep it there)*4 and get out of the hiding place and start looking for the doll. The doll is not necessarily in the bathroom. Whatever happens don't spit out the salt water.
2. When you find the doll, pour the rest of the salt water which is left in the cup over it, and then spray the salt water in your mouth over it as well.
3. Say "I win," three times.

This supposed to end the ritual.
After this make sure you dry the doll, burn and discard it later.

MOST IMPORTANT
Please don't stop this ritual halfway. You must do it through to the end.
This is a dangerous ritual and I will not be responsible for what happens to you if you try.
---------------------------------------------
Other things to keep in mind:
+Don't go out of the house until you have done the finishing ritual.
+You must turn off all lights.
+Keep quiet while hiding.
+You don't need to put the salt water in your mouth all the time. You only need to do it during the finishing ritual.
+Remember, if you are living with someone you might put them in danger too.
+Don't continue this ritual for more than one or two hours.
+For safety reasons, it might be best to keep all the doors in the house unlocked (including your front door) and have some friends close by so that they can come and help you at a moment's notice, if you ever need them. Keeping a mobile close at hand would be a good idea too.

---------------------------------------------
NOTES:
*1 - the rice represents innards and also has the role of attracting spirits.
*2 - the crimson thread represents a blood vessel. It seals the spirit(s) up inside the doll.
*3 - by cutting the thread off, you break the seal and release the spirit(s) you have trapped.
*4 - if you go out of the hiding place without salt water, you might encounter "something wandering around" in your house which might harm you in some way. Apparently the way to feel the presence of the "something wandering around" is to watch "what happens to the TV."

Just thought I would share. It's pretty interesting. It would be interesting to use Nero but he's not stuffed or cloth and I'd have to burn him soooo...NO. Ha ha.

Anyway, on to other things.

Random. Went to the dentist today! It wasn't so bad. He was the most awesome dentist ever. I couldn't even feel the needles when they numbed by mouth. Everyone was really nice at the clinic too. My mouth is a bit sore now but it's not too bad. My breath did smell like rubber gloves for a bit, I swear. Before I move out to Pittsburgh I'd like to go again and have just a few other things done.

Hopefully I'll be putting up more drawn art, rather than photography. My scanner makes some of my stuff look weird but not unrepresentable so I may fool around with it. Hopefully I'll be able to get more concept art of Seven Circles characters up as well. I also have a way to color art digitally now! It's by mouse but it should work for the moment.

What else? Hmm. I'm selling my Luts Lishe head. I just don't think the mold or the SD sized doll fits my tiny, wide eyed little Faust. I'd like to maybe get get a 50cm doll but I don't think I could get a head I like to fit it. Anyway, if anyone wants to buy it, I'm open to any offers. Although I am going to miss him. Also selling come cute cat ears on an elastic band I got at Tsubasacon. They're adorable and if you layer them with your hair right it looks a lot more natural than the kind made with a solid band. I have pictures for anyone interested.

I will be giving Faust's body to Spike though! It's hard to cram a KDoll head on an FDoll body but not impossible. Plus the body has a little part of me in him. Ha ha. I'll explain. I was trying to see if Spikes head would fit on Faust's body but he was strung so tight and I have to unstring him by taking his feet off. Same to re-string him. I have to re-hook his feet. One foot went on fine but I didn't have any slack for the other foot and I'd keep letting go and loosing the elastic inside the leg because I couldn't hold his leg with one hand and use the other to put his foot back on. The elastic in his feet was already stained red because I was using a red ribbon to help pull the elastic through his torso and leg parts but it seemed a bit too red to just be stained by the ribbon. The day before I had clipped my finger nails to the quick *I hate long fingernails* and the string had rubbed against it so bad that it had made my thumb bleed.

I eventually got him restrung but his torso/leg strings are bloodied. So he has a little bit of me inside of him! I find it endearing.

Aaaaand you porbbaly won't have any idea of what I'm talking about unless you've restrung a Ball Jointed Doll before.

One last note. Be on the look out for another massive upload *like my last* of several pictures and the re-vamped characters designs of the main Seven Circles cast! Oh mai! O8

Should be all for now.... ~
