I knew something was going to happen to her! Just not that... maybe a monster that lurs little children in by dolls that look like them so he can eat the kids but... that's just creepy! It's my kind of thing though... almost reminds me of Sweeney Todd...

Micci said...

How creepy... Just another reason to be afraid of dolls.

Ren (All By MySHELF) said...

Ooh, creepy! o_O

I suspected that would happen when the doll on the trike came in.

The Irregular Girl said...

That was CREEPY.

I don't need to say it again, do I?

You put the most interesting stuff on your website, Kirsten!

Kiwi said...

Creeeeeeeeeeeeeepy.


Ok, I have a problem. In social studies we are supposed to do a report on a country. Sounds easy enough right?? Well I don't know which country! Aaah!
I want a country that is usually totally overlooked (So not like china or france or japan), but overflowing with bizzareness. Any Ideas?? I have none.

=)

Amanda said...

charstar said...

I'm 13 but i think thats gona give me night mares!

Kirsten Miller said...

Kiwki: I think Australia has a fascinating history. Can't beat a former penal colony. Or how about Peru? Or
Tibet? Or Pokrovia?

sadie said...

gymnast20 said...

Al Fonzo said...

Anonymous said...

Anonymous said...

Wow, that was creepy and AWESOME!! That reminded me of Coraline, and it seems very much like Tim Burton. I think that this will give me nightmares, and I'm in 8th grade!! Where do you find these things, Kirsten?

P.S. This is Rileydog but my computer is being stubborn :(

blablabla15 said...

I was like: "No don't touch it... Don't touch it!" x'D

Really well made video!

kathleen said...

uuuuuuuuummmmmmmmmmm creepy much?

Anony Mouse said...

QUIT PLAYING HAPPY MUSIC! THERE IS NOTHING 'HAPPY' IN THIS VIDEO!

The Irregular Girl said...

Ummmm, but isn't Czechoslovakia broken up into the Czech republic and something else?

Why not try something like Lesotho? It's completely surrounded by South Africa.

Or how about the US even? IT'S pretty bizarre in some ways.

Mia said...

Kiwi: Try Indonesia!

montana irregulars said...

to brighten the mood i'm gonna tell everyone somthing: I GOT A PUPPY!! her name is sunny and she is a kelpie coon hound mix from the pound! she looks a little like a rotwieler puppy

Al Fonzo said...

The Irregular Girl: It's divided into the Chezch Republic and Solvakia. I just like how it sounds CHEZKELSOLVOKIA!!! (It has awesome pasta!)

Erin said...

SO. CREEPY.
I love it.

SUPERWIRED:) said...

Creepy. But cool. Also, it has a moral. DO NOT TRUST DOLLS. I never really have.

Nellie said...

Oh my gosh, that was so creepy, and sad and morbid.



Ha ha ha ha ha! It was also funny.

TrueDragonMaster said...

I figured that was going to happen. Did you see the doll that rose towards the end? I bet that is the next kid to lure in.

ForresterVA said...

Okay..... nobody wanted cute animals so look at this!

Kirsten! Did you know you're on Wikipedia? Look!! Also thanks for the autograph.

Kirsten Miller said...

ForresterVA: AT LAST!!! I'M FAMOUS!!! Kidding. Someone ought to send those guys a pic, but I'm too lazy.

Kiwi said...

Thanks every one! Those are really great ideas!!
~ I like how Chezkelsolvokia sounds too. =))

Anna said...

If i was that girl, i would have gone for that beautiful victorian doll just inside the shop!
Weird thing is, my name was in there... in my handwriting.... O.o

~chanel~ said...

eeeeeeeeeeeeeekkkkkkkkkk!!!! evil dolls are the worst!!!!! i thought it was a pretty awesome short film though

Anonymous said...

Why didn't Alma notice something fishy when the doll mysteriously transported itself from the window to the table to the shelf? She's much too overly trusting... reminds me a bit of Alice (from Alice in Wonderland), what with the parts where Alice decides to eat random things.

Esther said...

See?
I knew I had a reason to be terrified of dolls!
Reminds me of the It's a Small World ride at Disneyland. Scared me to death...

Alice Cullen said...

and this is ....

This reminds me of a story I heard once

Ariana said...

The title of the video (Alma) means 'soul' in spanish.

Micci said...

Yes, Kiwi, do Indonesia! It's where my mom is from! It's totally overlooked, even though it's the world's fourth most populous country.

42 said...

You saw it coming, but it was still good. Nice and wired.

Anonymous said...

kiwi- do new zealand :)

UU said...

Kiwi:Try India, or most of the South American counrties

Serena said...

scary, wonder what happen to all the kids lured in

Lioness said...

Hey! i read in entertainment that kiki is the 3rd best-seller right know. good job!

Kirsten Miller said...

Lioness: Thanks. What's entertainment?

Mia said...

Micci, my mom's from there too! That's why I suggested it. It really is overlooked, isn't it?

Lioness said...

a magazine. entertainment weekly. my dad gets it for his office and so i look thru it sometimes. not really worth reading, but still

Anonymous said...

this is creepy, I'm not even all the way through it and I'm scared...it's loading.

Reel Dancer said...

that's messed up

Anna said...

She does kinda remind me of those gorls in horror films. 'Eeek! There's a killer in there!' Me:'Yes I know'
'Oh no! I left my mother's shaw there!' Me: 'No... No, NO!'
'i'll be back in a second, guys!'
Me: 'Forget you.'

Patsee said...

The unfittingly happy music was the best part.

I was thinking, "Don't touch it! It's gonna bite you!"

Kiwi said...

I think I'm going to do Czech Rebublic. Anyone know something completely and overwhelmingly strange about it???

Alice said...

That was just plain messed up
Kristen, do you knwo who made that?

Al Fonzo said...

Kiwi: I'll look up about it.... (opens up google)

-A church in the Czech republic houses a chandelier made of human bones

Christmas Customs:
On 6 December children are visited by a Devil and/or Angel and/or St. Mikoláš. A good kid gets small gifts, candy or fruit. A bad child is threatened to be taken away by the devil in his sack. The Angel or St. Mik can intercede on the child's behalf.

Easter Customs:
Exquisitely hand decorated eggs are made to be given as gifts.

A boy may make a „pomlaská" of braided willow twigs in hopes of garnering decorative ribbons from girls to attach to it.
However, a girl might choose to throw a bucket of cold water at an annoying young man rather than yield a ribbon.


Mushroom Hunting: a Czech National Passion!
Every year on St. Václav Day weekend [weekend closest to 28 Sept.], thousands of Czechs go to the forests in search of the special Václavky mushroom.

Czechs generally take mushroom hunting as seriously as they do other recognized
sports. No! They consider mushrooming more important than sports. They are
extremely competitive fungi finders. Do not even think about jumping another
Czech's fungus claim!

Police in the Czech republic are trying to find out who stole a 4 tonne railway bridge from the border town of Cheb.

The company which was responsible for looking after the bridge raised the alarm when, ever alert, they noticed that the bridge wasn't there any more.

The bridge was on a disused stretch of line just outside Cheb.

Martina Hruskova, a spokeswoman for the Czech police, commented to AFP: 'We are not sure if it was taken for personal use or for its scrap value.' Exactly what that 'personal use' might be was left unsaid.

'It is the first time we have dealt with this type of theft,' she added.

Of course, it's not the first time some light-fingered bridge enthusiast has made off with a bridge. At least two bridges have been nicked in Russia in the past six months, and a pair of bridge thieves appropriated two Macedonian bridges last February.

Hope this helps!!

Rileydog said...

Okay, you guys, I need serious girl support right now. Today at lunch my friend talked to the guy I have liked for three years. You see, over winter break I asked him out over text and I never got a response, even at school. So when she asked him about it, he told her that he got my text but didn't reply. He also has known that i like him and didnt say anything. Also, he doesnt like me. I am really hurt, and I don't know what to do. I think that he didn't tell me to spare me the pain, but he caused even more pain. How do I let him know how I feel? You can also e-mail me at ***** (removed by KM). I would really appreciate any advice, and yes, I know that I don't need guys. I just don't know how to get rid of this one without any more pain.

Clare said...

Im sorry, rileydog. Unfortunately, I have no guy experience whatsoever, so I can't give you any advice. But kirsten did an amazing job with that anyway.
I hope you feel better : )

Kirsten Miller said...

Rileydog:

I took your email address out of the post. This is a public blog, and I wouldn't want some creepy fifty-year-old dude responding to your plea for help.

Now. Advice. Everyone gets rejected. Everyone. It doesn't matter if you're the smartest, prettiest, funniest girl on the planet. Some guys just aren't going to like you! And there's absolutely nothing you can do about it!!! I know it sucks, but if you learn this lesson early, it will make life a whole lot easier later on.

Go ahead. Feel upset. Cry, moan, scream at the walls. But first, figure out just how long you want to be upset about this guy. (In your case I recommend one weekend.) Do not let yourself suffer any longer than that. On Monday morning, get up, put a smile on your face, and forget he ever existed.

You just learned a tough lesson, Rileydog.

Rileydog said...

Thanks, you guys. Yeah, a weekend sounds pretty good. I really appreciate your advice, it will help a lot!!!! Thanks again!!!!

Anna said...

ITS MY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!! :D

Anna said...

Oh, and I forgot the first time: last night, i was on my gmail account and igoogle account 3:14 AM. I did this because I have a theme that changes every 2 hours: Tea house. At 3:14 AM on certain nights it will show an 'easter egg' which is a picture that will only stay up for 1 minute. The picture for Gmail was 3 white ghostly createures walking toward the sleeping Tea House fox. The igoogle one had 3 spirits of some sort floating across the lake to take some dumplings left for them by the fox. I have actually been able to keep those windows up and will keep them up so I may gaze upon the ghostly pictures. The whole idea of the easter egg is very mysterious, and I wanted to share it with you guys. :)

Alice said...

I am totaly going to watch it again!

Alice said...

Why would you want a doll that looked exactly like you and could teleport and that was evil and wanted to kill you?
oh right, CUZ ITS AWESOME!
I wonder where the doll went.
Maybe it pretended to be Alma.

Kiwi said...

Al Fonzo~ Wow! Yeah it does help! Thank you sooo much! =) Those are really bizzare. Who would steal a bridge?? =)

Anonymous said...

This is Rileydog, my computer is just messed up. You know, Kirsten, I've been thinking about what happened to me. I think that even though I'm in pain right now, once its gone then I will be stronger for it. I'm just so upset that he would do that to me. I'm not upset because he doesnt like me, I'm upset because he didnt answer me and just left me waiting. He doesnt seem like the kind of person who would hurt others(I've known him for three years now) and I cannot fathom why he would do that!!

BaoYu said...

how about Micronesia? It's an entire country, made up of tiny islands, off the coast of Australia. I find tiny countries very interesting.

Rileydog said...

I forgot, on top of all this drama, on Nov. 5th my school burned down. Now I go to one of the high schools. When the school burned down, I was at Mountain School(an overnight camp for some of the 8th graders) so everything seemed like a dream. Then when we got back we had a week off of school while the school district figured out what to do. So far, my 8th grade year has been full of tragedys(see post at 8:28am)

Kirsten Miller said...

Rileydog: He didn't respond because he was scared. Think of how you might feel in a similar situation. He didn't handle it as well as he might have, but he doesn't seem like a monster, either. Resist the urge to teach him a lesson and spend your time looking for a guy you like even better. (Easier said than done, I know.)

Kirsten Miller said...

Anna: Happy birthday!!!

Rileydog said...

Thanks again Kirsten! I'm sorry if I'm annoying you. Also, I was wondering if you got my e-mail. I sent it Friday morning.

The Irregular Girl said...

Hey. Does anyone know how to get YouTube videos to play in HD? I keep noticing people metioning watching things in HD, but I click and can never find out where the right button is . . .

Does anyone know where it is?

gymnast20 said...

rileydog- im sorry your so sad!! i know that its easier said than done but forgetting about this guy is probably the best thing for you. If i were you i would forget about guys for a while and just have fun with your friends guys just create drama :) I hope it will all get better soon!!

Anonymous said...

Yeah Kirsten and Kiwi, Australia is a very fascinating country. (I should Know) I would also recommended; Scotland, Ireland, Germany, Switzerland and Egypt. All have very intriguing history and culture

The Irregular Girl said...

Riley:

You know, there's a saying:

No boy is worth crying over, and the one who is, won't make you cry.

Don't feel bad!!!

Kirsten Miller said...

Rileydog: I did. I will write back soon!

Cyperus said...

omg! im gonna hurel im so scared!

Hazel said...

Did anyone notice how the window looks like a mouth?

MushroomCloud said...

Reel Dancer said...

Reel Dancer said...

Don't trust them........ said...

DOLLS ARE SCARY!!!
DO NOT TRUST THEM!!!
THEY WILL EAT YOU ALIVE!!!
P.S.-

I LOVED IT!

Evil Laugh (MWHAHA!) said...

As for weird things...

It is AWESOME!!!(in a weird way!)

DOLLS ARE SCARY said...

IT'S JUST LIKE CHUCKIE!!!
I SWEAR THIS WILL GIVE ME NIGHTMARES!!!

Some Lost Melody said...

Man that's freaky!

ForresterVA said...

Hazel; I did, and you'd think she would notice that much even if she didn't notice that, though the doll was moving itself, there was no one there to move it!

ForresterVA said...

P.S. Megan; I like that movie, Sweeney Todd. It was pretty good.

ForresterVA said...

I HATE MISSOURI!!!!!!!!!! IT DOESN'T SNOW ANYTHING BUT THAT USELESS POWDER STUFF AND IT'S WINDY SO YOU CAN NOT GO FOR A WALK. AND THE POWDER WOULDN'T BE SO BAD EXCEPT FOR THE FACT THAT THERE ISN'T A HILL FOR MILES. IT'S MISERABLE!!!!!!

42 said...

Rileydog -

I'm not the best person to ask in theses situations, but I do want to help. So I'll tell you what I thought when I heard your story:

It sounds like an adventure novel.

Girl confronts guy she's liked for three year. Guy ignores her. Girl is heartbroken. Something exciting happens (school burns down).
And you know what happens next. right?

Girl has mind-blowing awesome adventure, and forgets all about guy. (And along the way meets wonderful boy that makes her forget all about the first guy.)

But...

There is a word of caution, however. Your life isn't a story, and I have no idea how is goes. Nobody does. So it may not happen like that. But let me go on a cliche note:

If your already heart-broken at this age, you're going to get a lot more of it. (I personally don't think kids should be dating at your age.) But one day, maybe 15 years from now, you'll find someone. And he'll be better then all those others combined.

So see, you did learn somthing from this:

I suck at giving romantic advice.

Good luck anyway,
42

Rileydog said...

Thanks, 42!! I do hope it gets better, and until then I will try to have a great time with my friends!!! Today I tried to pretend that he didnt exist(hes in two of my classes) and other then that I had a great day!!!

ForresterVA said...

42; No offense, but how old are you? Just curious.

MushroomCloud said...

Sorry- I can't help but ask (I suppose kirsten might prevent u from answering)42: r u implying that u r much older than us? I really hope ur not 42 cause, that would b awesome cause ur reading this but sad cause well, we're all like 13. sorry 4 those of u who r different ages

Kirsten Miller said...

Especially when they give what I think is excellent advice.

Kirsten Miller said...

For the record, I am also over 13. Haha. Everyone is welcome here.

Anonymous said...

...scary whoa...

HI said...

it was creepy and funny at the same time. >.>

~Guesswho13~ said...

THAT IS SO CREEPY. OH MY FREAKING GOD, THAT IS CREEPY.

Pardon my language. Now please excuse me while I scream and my neighbors call the cops.

Madders said...

to kiwi: how about Norway??? that's where viking came from

i totally saw that coming! my sister knew that the boy was gonna become a doll.... stupid kids... i would never walk in there!!! creepy dolls....

EQ said...

ForresterVA: You WANT snow?

very_CURIOUS_girl said...

just the reason i dont have those dolls they are pure evil

Meredith said...

AHHHHHH! RUN AWAY!!!!!!!

ForresterVA said...

No. Not really. But snowball snow is better. It means it's not as cold outside and you can be outside for two minutes without getting frostbite!

rafael said...

ooooh my god that was truly horifiying a child stealing doll shop all though the girl or was it a boy wasnt too bright when the mysteriously moves dont follow obviously
