One new Affie has been added to the Affiliates page --- The soft spoken yet cheekily sarcastic Francine! Both she and her site are filled to the brim with phenomenality, so be sure to click on over and leave her some eLove in the form of a comment or two. ^_~
Three new dolls have been added to the Emo Kids page! I wanted to add more than a single doll this time, so I started working on 'em at the beginning of the week to give myself plenty of time to do so, haha. ((And yes, I realise I've been updating the Emo Kids page an excessive amount over the last few weeks. o_o; I do believe I'm becoming addicted to doll making again ... Which is fine by me! ^u^))
One new piece has been added to the Paintings page. ^^ Seeing as I received a pad of heavyweight watercolour paper and a shitload of Curry paintbrushes as Easter gifts, I thought it was only fitting to test out my new supplies by whipping up a painting. I'm quite fond of the outcome, so go check it out and lemme know if you agree. ((Or disagree!)) ^_~
Two items were checked off my Wishlist --- Thanks to Easter, once again! The items in question? The April 2010 issue of Out and the April 2010 issue of Spin ... Both which feature Billie Joe Armstrong of Green Day on the cover, w00t! ^o^
Speaking of Easter, my family and I had a pretty awesome one this year! On Easter Sunday, my brothers went on an indoor egg hunt for both chocolate eggs and hollow plastic eggs filled with candy that I had hid the night before. Er, I mean, that the Easter Bunny had hid the night before. >_>;
After they found, ((And instantly devoured,)) All of the chocolate and candy, I handed out baskets of treats to everyone. Said baskets included the standard store bought Easter treats, like chocolate bunnies and egg shaped lollipops, but they also included something more special: Homemade treats! A few weeks before Easter, I had baked up a batch of rainbow pinwheel sugar cookies, and a batch of pastel hued French meringues ... Both of which you can drool over by clicking the thumbnails below! ^_~
Regrettably, I had to substitute cheap margarine in place of butter for the rainbow pinwheel sugar cookies, so the finished result wasn't entirely to my satisfaction --- The pinwheel pattern wasn't as neat as I wanted it to be, they were slightly greasy to the touch, and they crumbled much too easily. However, they still tasted pretty Goddamn delicious, so I suppose I shouldn't grumble too much.
Besides, things evened out when I made the French meringues, as they were leagues more delicious than I expected them to be --- Which seriously surprised me, since I had never attempted to make them before! Plus, I had modified the recipe slightly to include food colouring, which normally is a big meringue no no, as adding extra liquid can negatively affect their outcome. Thankfully, though, they turned out wonderfully, which I was quite delighted about! *^^*
Enough about Easter, though --- It's time for an entirely new topic! As most of my regular visitors already know, my Dad makes his living as a locksmith, which means he spends a lot of his free time browsing and posting on locksmithing forums.
A few weeks ago, he was doing this very thing, when he stumbled across a thread entitled, 'Okay, That's Just Weird!' Intrigued, and being as he is a fan of all things weird, he clicked the subject title ... And was rewarded with some very weird shit, indeed.
Apparently, a fellow locksmith had recently redesigned his business invoices. However, after completed his new design and got over three hundred of the bastards printed out, he realised something kinda vital --- His phone number was incorrect on every single copy.
Fortunately, though, it was only a small, almost unnoticeable mix up between two numbers in his area code, so he decided to just continue using the invoices as is. He didn't want to make the invoices look unprofessional by using Wite Out to correct the mistake, and he reckoned that if people noticed it at all, they be able figure it out on their own easily enough.
He was wrong.
In the last few weeks, he's been receiving complaints from customers who had unwittingly dialled the incorrect number printed on the invoice, before having the sense to punch in the correct area code by memory. The complaints he received, though, weren't the type of complaints you'd expect to hear in this sort of situation.
His customers told him that after they dialled the number, a computer generated voice comes on the line almost instantly, utters an incoherent greeting, and then, after a short pause, begins reciting some sort of disturbingly creepy dialogue. This continues on for several minutes, the voice varying in pitch and tone throughout, and then, quite suddenly, the dialogue stops --- At which point the line goes dead.
One of the locksmith's customers described said dialogue as, and I quote;
... Like a brainwashing cult thing ...
Now, luckily for you guys, my Dad was awesome enough to print out the thread for me to use as reference in writing this blog topic, which means that I've got the creepy dialogue reciting phone number right here for you all to ring up, if you so desire!
Now, before you start dialling, please keep in mind that you will have to enter your country code before the number, which is Rhode Island based. This also means that you may be charged with a long distance fee, depending on where you live in the world and what sort of calling plan you have. If you're already aware of all this, though, then get punching in those numbers, because trust me ... It's worth it.
However, if you're dead set against experiencing this the way it was meant to be experienced --- By actually dialling the number on an actual phone and listening to the actual dialogue with your actual ear pressed against the telephone's actual earpiece --- Then you can click here to listen to a recording I made of the call whilst on speakerphone mode.
I, myself, have called the number more than once, solely because listening to the message freaks me out so much, LOL! Y'know that feeling you get when you watch a horror movie? When you're completely terrified on the surface, but underneath it all, you're relaxed as fuck, because you know that you're not actually in any actual danger, since you're only watching a movie? It's just like that.
But then I remember that I'm not just watching a movie, and that this is real life. That I'm dialling a real phone number and listening to a real recording. A recording that sounds as if it's trying to brainwash you into becoming a member of some sorta nefarious cult.
... And that's when I slam the phone down, run as fast as I can into my room, triple check to make sure the door's securely shut and locked, turn on every available source of light, grab my giant red and white Super Mushroom plushie, and then hide under my bed for a couple of hours until it's safe to come out. o_o;
So, I've got my first actual blog entry up, and I'm continuing to work on the content of my site. Check it out :)
Because I'm way too curious, I called that number on my cell phone (I have a prepaid phone with a shitload of money on it, so it doesn't matter what Telus will charge me for the call). It DOES sound it it's trying to brainwash you. And it is seriously creepy. I think I'm going to go grab my stuffed heart with arms and hide under the covers now.
Some metal band should sample that recording in a song.
Damnit, how the hell did this guy get my phone number!? You guys should probably stop calling it. It only angers the flying monkeys even further.
No really though, that is actually pretty funny. I will have to make a point of calling this number to hear it for myself.
Oh, and your cookies look delicious! Not a big fan of meringues though. Blargh! :P
Ooh, those french Meringue's looks so good! I'm so tempted to make them, just to see what they taste like as i've never had them before. (Random cute fact: my cat just plunked down right beside me and is resting his head on the side of my laptop, watching me type. Hehe.)
I'm tempted to call that number but i'm scared as to getting a massive phone bill or something. You should phone it, put it on speakerphone, and record it so all us lovely visitors can hear it without having to worry about long distance charges! =D
Anyways, glad you had a happy Easter! Sounds like you had alot of fun. =)
Wow those cookies sound DELICIOUS. and the meringues? MMHM, PLEASE POST THE RECIPE! XD I tried a merangue recipe once.. it shucks. Majorly. o_O
I am so tempted to phone that number, because it sounds freakin' hillarious, but I live in the UK and I have no idea what kinda code and numbers I'd have to put infront of it to make it work, and I don't really fancy the bill too much. :/
Hhaa, you should record it! ^_^
Anywho, nice to hear that you had a nice Easter. :)
I WANT THOSE FUCKING PINWHEEL COOKIES!! THEY LOOK ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!
And what the fuck with the message thing? I feel weirded out just reading about it XD I ain't wasting money calling it though, wtf? Mallory, are you insane? I think you are.
Oh, and for the record, the beginning of this blog gave me a panic attack XD
Shitty small comment, I'm dying over a cancer jab and hyperacting in the sun at the moment, along with being attacked by the biggest fucking bee I've ever seen in my life.. Lozz and I cower whenever we hear it buzzing. It buzzes louder than a nuclear warhead!
...Well, it doesn't, but you get my drift.
When you come over here, we shall make pinwheel cookies in garish colours cause we are the mutant race. I lurrrve you, in a lesbian way.
-- Kayleigh
Oh no, not chatspeak/netspeak!
I'm glad you got a little something on your wishlist! Ah. I barely even keep track of magazines anymore. I went to the Easter show the other week and though there were showbags of magazines, they were the girlie type I no longer buy. :P Besides, all the bands I like aren't so popular!
Anyway, randomness, and moving along. I hope you had a good Easter! *hugs* :) I recognise those sugar cookies from the gift you made last year! If I recall correctly - I am sure it was last year anyway.
I made meringues in high school and boy were they delicious. We only added a bit of food colouring though! If you wanted to add a lot of liquid, sadly you'd have to balance out the ingredients if you wanted to make a richer darker colour... I have no idea, but they make those little tiny meringues that go on top of cookies and they are so brightly coloured!
That just sounds uber creepy about that phone number. D: That guy made a terrible mistake... of course it wouldn't be quite so terrible if that creepy recording did not happen but FFS... I'm scared as fuck now.
And like Amber Lynn above said - please kindly record it for us because I am insanely curious.
I would be scared shitless the first time; I can't remember if you commented on my previous blog post about that creeper calling up late at midnight saying "oh baby" but if that freaked me out, then this will have me shitting my pants.
I'm scared of the dark as it is, Mallory! :O
I half expect to find myself standing in a strange place I've never been to before, with a dead body at my feet and a bloody knife in my hand, with no recollection of what I've done for some five or six hours, later tonight, after being brainwashed by that phone message. O_o It's seriously creepy! You haven't experienced something like that after calling the number? O_O
I probably shouldn't watch that Asian horror movie about cursed text messages tonight as I had planned to...
I listened to the recording and called the number, but I can barely make out what this weirdo is saying. Maybe my ears are resistant to brainwash-speak. That's still pretty entertaining though! I wish I could leave them a message myself.
This made me want to look for the number to the gag "psychiatric hotline". I found it! If you've never called it before you should its fucking hilarious.
973-409-3277
rofl at that number i would try it but i hate them kind of numbers.i finally did some site work so hopefully by the time i egt trough my vacation ill be able to open up,after i make a layout since i'm still stuck on that one.
wow... that phone message is weird. and yeh its kinda hard to make out what he's saying. it seems to rhyme tho. whats with that? is it like a prayer or something? i caught near the end the phrase "under the smiling sky" or something which was unusual... i wonder if it's a poem recited by a monotone computer voice? but WHY? why would a phone number have that recording and nothing else? Also, have you called it on different days? i'm curious if it is always the same recording or if it changes. what a mystery! or japanese horror-movie-ish. good luck with not being murdered in the next seven days or anything! let us know if creepy spectres come out of your phone to murder you, okay?
yea i accually started making graphcis for the site.ill uplaod them ad add them to my files but not to my server until i open back up
I drooled when I looked at those cookies. hhhhhhubbaaaaahubaaaaaaaa yum (:
When I restart my computer, I'm so going to listen to that recording. I'm afraid of dialing. :S Ah! :P
lol :P naww I have a couple of pairs of boots similar to that.
That phone thing's funny! I'd call it but I'm afraid of what our phone company might do to us! Haha.
Hey Mallory, my host's host closed so that's why you saw a really old version of my site. XD
I like your paintings, they're awesome! I can't paint at all, or draw for that matter. :/
Those cookies look yummy, I wish I could bake/cook. I haven't had any French meringues in forever! I want some now. :(
LOL, at the phone message. It is pretty creepy, I can't understand anything he's saying.
LOLLOLOOL thanks for adding that in, Mallory! Sometimes I think this little recorded voice is... actually fucking saying something. I swear, at the end I heard something like "why you would even bother... twilight...." far out. Creepy as fuck. It sounds like someone is reading out lines from a book. O_O;
I'm glad my opinion helped ^^ I'll look forward to seeing which ones you choose in the end :] They're all uber pretty though ^^
Haha, my hand drawn dolls kind of suck compared to others, but it was fun making the bloody crumpets :]
The new painting is HOT. I love the concept of it.
Shoving those pictures of baked amazingness in our faces, aye? I'm drooling already. I have got to try those recipes out.
Yeesh, that recording really is creepy. I kept hearing the words "narcissistic" and "enticement." I don't know if it was something religious or out of a poem. It sounds a little bit like something that should belong in Hotel 626.
The recording won't play on my shitty, SHITTY Media Player, which is a pisstake cause I'm intrigued as to what this creepy dialogue sounds like. Could you eMail it to me or something along those lines so I can get a listen? :P
xx
Time for the dreaded comment! I finished commenting everyone, but you... I save you for last, for certain reasons, One: your blog is really long, Two: I want to be able to understand your blog (give it my dedication)
congrats on your new friend.
Your paintings are a bit different.
You mean the Easter Bunny isn't real, but.... but... but.... HOW? I am kidding, hope you all had a vonderous time.
Wow, that was funny, I am not calling the number, sorry, but I don't want to really. I will listen to the recording some other time.

I asked my mother to be home-schooled, she refused saying she doesn't have the time, and I need to be out in the real world.
We are lucky ones we will make it in life and those others will be one step behind us!
You may have been home-schooled, and be really smart, but I am not. I had to look up half of the words you commented. I may be really smart, but not that smart! Ohhhh! Can you fix your url next time you comment, it comes up with ww.mallorymaloney.com instead and then I am like wtf.
You're a great artist! I wish I could draw. Or even write a straight line. (: Alas, I can't.
Greenday? They're one of my favorites (: But not as much as meringues, haha, they're delish. Except whenever I make 'em, they always end up gooey in the center, because I'm too impatient to cook 'em longer :]
haha, as soon as I find my phone (Under my bed somewhere, no doubt) I'll check out that number :] Except I'm slightly curious to where the area code that it accidently was made out to goes to. Oh well, I'll google it (:

And don't worry at all for writing a long comment, that really helped it make more sense to me. I was being way too judgemental, being overly freaked-out by the prospect of it, and not really understanding. Like you said, I didn't understand at all; I couldn't relate to their problems. I suppose I just felt like I needed to say something, even if it wasn't always the right thing to say. :/ Thanks, though.
LOL! That story about the wrong phone number... to bad we can't hear it V_V Can you somehow find the owners of this number?
Those meringues look so good! I can never make a good meringue :(
Why did you have to sabstitute the butter with margarin? margarin is eeeeeeeeew V_V
Oh we can listen to that... I am such an as V_V but I am home alone and it is getting late.. I will do it tomorrow V_V
Mm, those rainbow pinwheel cookies look delicious. _<
One day I'd like to make my own hosting site, but with no previous knowledge I think it would have to be a 'learn from your mistakes' thing. :3 BUT I WOULD GIVE ALL MY HOSTEES NOTIFICATION ON EVERYTHING I DO. D:
[/end daydream]
Thanks for the comment on the layout! - I was quite suprised with myself too, I'm not a girly person at all. :P at first the layout was this dark grungey thing, but it looks a mess. so i changed the colours completely. ^_^ xxx
[i know comments are awaiting moderation: but]
I'm not sure my entire comment was posted? D:
I may be wrong. but I had another paragraph squeezed in there about how creepy the phone call was and a bit of a rant about Rigrag. Which yes, was my previous host. :3 (feel free to delete comment after reading)
Yeah I was not at all inspired by that photo...like AT ALL...nope...lol "Good morning noobs!!" Somehow I don't think they would have appreciated that. Well I'm not complaining that they're noobs, it's a good thing. :) Sometimes I think if I was a different person and I was to read my blog I'd be like "...OCD FREAK" :P But who gives if I'm an OCD freak. Which I'm not. ¬.¬
Is it weird that I remember the blog about the sugar pinwheel cookies? They look so yummy. :D And that phone message, WTF? That's all I can say. WTF. I didn't understand a word of what the guy (or whatever owned that voice...) was saying, but it definitely sounded like a "brainwashing cult thing" *shivers* so weirdddd...if you want to be really creeped out, sit in a dark room and listen to the Halloween theme thune. I was lying in bed one night tryna get some zzzzs and that came on my mp3 player (don't ask why it was there in the first place) and I was sooo freaked out. Didn't get any zzzzss at all that night. ¬.¬
That was one of the creepiest things I have heard in a long time. My boyfriend will be here any minute and I will be forcing him to listen to that. It's an RI area code? That's like one state away from where I am, haha. The creepiness is close, lol.
I just called it, can't really understand what its saying, but it is a computer voice, like from Mac voice or Microsoft Sam. Very weird indeed.
haha thanks :D I too have a little bit of an obsession for the dark stuff as you put it lol, but my obsession cup for all cute things runneth over O_o
Those cookies look so damn delicious!
I almost couldn't read past your intro.. LOL.
My brain started to ache D:
First - OMG COOKIES! They are quite probably the cutest cookies in the known world. Or unknown world. They remind me of the Lush Comforter bubble bar - http://www.lushusa.com/shop/products/bath-shower/bubble-bars/the-comforter-bubble-bar - also adorable, smells delicious, cookies probably better to eat.
That message is weird. I can't make out half of it, but uhm... yeah. Kind of wish I hadn't listened to it in the house on my own. Yeeeesh.
With regards to knitting, it's not super hard. It's a pain at first, but then your hands just kind of figure out what they're supposed to be doing and it gets faster and easier. I really recommend the Stitch n' Bitch book if you're thinking about learning - that and Youtube! There are a couple of pattern books I'm thinking about getting to make those ratty mohair punk sweaters, if you search punk knitting on Amazon you'll find them easily enough. I am aching for a long and slouchy purple/black or grey/black mohair sweater dress thing. Those will be happy days!
But I'm sure you sign into MSN sooooometimes. :3 I mean, that's like blocking your only means of communication! D: Well the way I see it anyways.
Oh! I get what you mean... sometimes I'm not all that busy and I'm "available" people could care less about talking to me. o_O I mean seriously... the hell. XD Well whatever, 99.9% of the people in my contact list all suck anyways (just don't tell them I said that). Instant messaging is just weird in general really -- it's like taking a risk because half of the time, you don't know what to talk about anyways so you're both sitting there looking stupid.
Haha I can multitask pretty well. MSN is usually just sitting there, so I can go about my business; usually I don't talk to anyone unless they bug me first. P:
LOL yeah, I'm known for leaving colossal comments; everyone seems to appreciate them. ;3 I think everyone prefers a long comment as opposed to a seven word comment. o_O Do you even get those? Usually when I see your comments, they're all fairly big to begin with.
I did a double take to make sure I read what I actually read. You used chatspeak therefore, you have officially been omitted from my "cool people" list. *blocks*
XD Haha just kidding.
It amazes me how you manage to make so many updates on every blog -- and yet, have enough to write about them. If I made a new layout, I would just be like, "I made a new layout. Go check it out." YOU on the other hand, make a full paragraph for everything you make. O: Ah-mazing.
Where am I getting at?
YAY UPDATES! *dances*
We didn't do anything for Easter... :( It sucked all considering it's the last Easter with my family like... EVER. O_O LOL I did that with my sisters one time:
"Oh yeah! Remember that one present I got you?"
"...what? You got me that? I thought Santa did............"
"........... That's what I meant! Ho ho... ho. *cough*"
"You fail at life."
:|
"A few weeks before Easter..." what the fuck?! If you baked them a few weeks prior, the cookies should be as hard as a rock! LOL
At least they tasted pretty good. ;3
Since I'm not a regular visitor, I guess I learned something new today!
Oh, wow! Creepy number posted. O: I'd call it, but I'm almost certain I'll probably shit my pants if I heard a demotic voice on the other end of the phone. OR WORSE! ... I'll die in seven days. T_T
What the fuck kind of horror movies do you watch?! Haha when I watch one, I'M SCARED. I DON'T FEEL RELAXED. I imagine some guy with a chainsaw lives in my backyard! D: Yes. It's that bad.
So wait... the voice belongs to Charles Manson? XD I dunno if I'd ever join a cult... unless they had cookies... But not cookies that were made a few weeks prior. *cough*
Whoa! I actually felt like I was being brainwashed... that is freaky!!!
Those cookies and meringues look delicious though, I'll have to give them a try myself!
Thank you for your comment and tips on the nail varnish thing! I managed not to get as much on my skin as I usually do!!
HAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!
LMFAO @ THAT BRAINWASHING THING XD I wanted to call it up myself, but my phone bill was alot of money last month cos I kept prank calling American McDonalds and other weird foreign places and my mum was pretty pissed off and disabled international phone calls... Gutter. XD But yeah, I LOL'd.
I want to eat your cookies. Whenever I read your blogs and read about all the yummeh foods you has been making, it makes me hunrgy. Seriously, I was all fool up cos I just ate a load of junk for my dinner and I looked at your cookies and now I am STAAAARVING XD Darn you and your amazing pretty cooking/baking/whatevs its called skills. :3
And I LOVE YOUR PAINTING XD I wish I could paint. My painting I've done in art is terrible, it's supposed to be a self portrait of myself (well, obviously, if it's a SELF portrait XD) but it looks like a big blob of colours all mixed together, my skin is purple (don't ask how.. i was trying to make a suitable skin colour and it kinda failed) and my eyees look like spiders. XD But yes, you're drawing is aweshum, I don't know how to explain it but like the form of it and stuff... Oh lordy, I should not be an artists critique person. XD
BEFORE I GO, I have a new site/blog! The full explanation is on http://www.kookie.co.nr and my new site is http://www.rinny.co.nr ...So feel free to delete Kookie (:
MALLLLOOOOORRRRRYYYYY, bots bought Mimi-Goodies.com!!! D: My new site is le-mimi.net. Please come give me luvvins sometime. :3
