Chadd's Comics! VOL. 1.

For those of you who don't know. Chadd is my husband!
He loves comic books. his collection is like none I've ever seen, that's coming from a girl who hasn't seen many comic book collections... BUT trust me! It's quite large!

He started reading comics when he was around 7. His older brother Stacey introduced him to comic books, later his brother handed down his collection to Chadd. And that's when it all started!

He's always had trouble with reading, so comics naturally are easier to read for him. He's told me of a time in High School where he asked his teacher if it was ok for him to read comic books in class for an in-class "reading time". His teacher told him "if you have one, sure", and of course Chadd has a comic book! But the rest of the class didn't, and they were bitching at the fact that he could sit there and read a comic while every one else had to settle for whatever the teacher had to read in the class room.

Because of this obsession Chadd has become an encyclopedia of comic book information, as well as an encyclopedia of a very wide variety of useless information, a dictionary (terrible speller though, due to his issue with reading), and why he's got such awesome art skills!

The picture up there is our new apartments version of what we used to have at our previous apartment. And those are just his graphic novels, and a very small pile of issues on top. But I'll leave to show off his issues in a diff post!

Around my house~ #2

I have posted before things that were around my house because I had no other interesting pictures to show you!
but now I have decided to continue it, but this time I'll have a theme!
Today's theme will be: SAILOR MOON!!


These are magnets on my fridge, I bought them when I was in high school. I had never taken them out of the plastic wrapping they were in, until (4years later) my ex roommate had his sister and her husband with two little girls over, one of them was about 8 and the other one was like 3. Anyway the point is that while I was at work I came back and my heart cracked a little bit when I saw all of them were OPENED!! And the wrapping no where to be found!!! I admit its really ridiculous to over react to something like that but when its something that you cherish and hold dear to you because you know its not an easy thing to find!!
Like for example, its as if a Star Wars collector had something that was priceless to him (and probably would be priceless to anyone) that was very old and unopened, and then have a little 8 year old girl open it... and then throw away the wrapping! Its just as bad! Anyway.. had to clean them very carefully because she smudged god knows what on them and left her finger prints. Felt like I had to wipe them away as if I'm taking back my territory and marking it, like when dogs "mark" their "territory".... God I sound ridiculous!


I bought this 3D poster from the same place I bought my Sailor Moon magnets. They had more of them at that store, they closed it though. If they were still open I would have probably bought them out on any and all sailor moon related stuff they sold there!


These are actually pretty cool! I work at Quiznos, and before they "re-modeled" they had all these word bubbles with silly things talking about the quality of the ingredients and what not. I asked my manager what he was going to do with the display word bubbles, he said nothing and then offered them to me. I had an idea to buy chalk board paint, and painting them so I can write stuff on them! In this case I wrote down one of my favorite quotes on it!



This is a shelf filled with many random things... mainly toys. A lot of the stuff on the top shelf was given to us by grandma! I'll show you later on what other animal shaped things she gave us. Point is, I still have my cake top that is the little Hand made sailor moon looking thing on the bottom left corner of the picture.


These are mainly most of the figures I own. The tall badly painted sailor moon figure with Luna on her shoulder I bought on a trip to my home town in Mexico(back in 2002), Guadalajara! There was a ceramic store where you can guy bare ceramic figurines and paint it. This one is a piggy bank, there is a hole on her back for coins. The Sailor moon clock that is right next to it I think I bought it at... actually I cant remember WHERE I bought it! ... interesting... anyway I remember having it since middle school. Something traumatic happened during middle school that I cannot possibly care any less to remember so I guess that is not the only memory that I "deleted" if you will. Its super cute because when it goes off it plays the sailor moon theme song and between every pause it says "GOOD MORNING" and the song continues. It's EXTREMELY LOUD and it continues until you press the button again.

In this picture I have my super generic sailor moon wands XD because I cant afford the real ones! The little pink clock is also an alarm clock. I bought it because it reminds me a lot of the Sailor Moon castle in the moon! I couldn't take a very good picture of it, but you can make out the little crescent moon shapes on top of both sides of the poles that are on top of the little domes. and the domes themselves are very Sailor-Moon-castle-ly. But this one has yet another exremely loud sound, of an indian lady singing in that weird style that is traditional to them.



This little box was bought at the same store I bought my 3D sailor moon poster in my bathroom!
It holds my jewelry, what I mean by that is it holds all of my plugs! I have gauged ears so that is all I wear. and I wear no rings, part of the reason why I tattooed my wedding band on.. more to come for that later! and its also my book end for that stack of whatever that is.



Saved the BEST FOR LAST!
this is what my husband calls the "Eye Raping Corner of Cuteness" the day after we got back from our honey moon in San Fran, I unpacked all of my sailor moon poster finds from China Town and gathered the rest in one corner! I got 8 posters from China Town all thanx to my husbands good eye for finding things. Best story about this is the Sailor Stars wall scroll at the top I haggled for at some flea market looking place, they were using the poster to cover under a display table so that you couldn't see their unorganized mess!! WHAT A WASTE OF A GOOD POSTER!! Anyway, I freaked out with excitement and my husband was trying to calm me down and he found the lady in charge, she at first said that it was ugly and old, told her I didn't care and asked how much she wanted for it. She didn't know what to tell me, so she asked me how much I would pay, and still shocked I couldn't answer. Then she went back to ask someone about it, then she said it was not for sale... anyway I almost walked away and she I guess noticed how sad I looked and she offered it to me for $5 and I told her $4, she took too long to make up her mind and I started to walk away slowly and she said OK!
HAH!!! Score one for Me, none for Asian lady in China town!
I'm way too proud of that! Hahahaha!!


I hope you enjoyed this! and I'll try to bring more interesting things to write about! :D
HAPPY READING!

THE SONG

This is me and Chadd's song :3

its not that we met at 17 or anything...

We were digging for records one day, and Chadd was showing me what he found and when he got to this song I told him "this makes me want to slow dance with you"

Later on that night, I was feeling really down because I had missed my sister since she moved to California. In the middle of my crying fit, he ran to play this song and got me up and started slow dancing with me. It was one of THE most romantic things he's ever done~
So I hold this song dear to my heart!

Yay?

So I picked out a camera that was cheap, in price, later when I had chadd order it as my christmas present, I found out so was the camera!!

It was crappy~ but I chose it without doing my research~
it was supposed to be up to 10mega pixels, but the quality was poopie!
It recorded videos, but with no sound... so whats the point??
anyway, the flash is pathetic, its just poopie over all.
Once I got over it I started to take pictures of stuff around my apartment, like I used to do when I had a camera...
MY POISON

MY TERRIBLE COOKING

MY BROTHER
in
MY LIVING ROOM

MY FILTER

On the same night I took these pictures(yesterday). The camera decides to commit suicide and sneaks under Chadd's FOOT!!
needles to say, its broken... cheap price, cheap camera, cheap quality inside and out. He felt really bad about breaking it, all I could do was laugh!
So before we went to bed shortly after the camera became a paper weight, we ordered another one online~
This time I decided I would stick with the same model I had before. So I know what I'm getting myself into~

anyone want a camera with a broken screen? If so? lets make a deal! ;D

WEDDING PLANNING: VENUE

Our wedding venue will be at a FREE CHAPEL called CHAPEL DULCINEA!
Like I said its a FREE Chapel, well you have to pay $100 to reserve your wedding day but you get your money back if you show up on your wedding day XD
The way I found the Chapel was through my boss lady from my very first job, she saw the Chapel in the news paper and then called me to inform me about it, then I asked my brother for $100 so I can reserve my wedding day time slot, there was only one time slot left at the time. Anyway long story short, later my day was booked I was super bummed, but I kept checking, then it was available again and my brother gave me the money, I reserved it and I also did pay him back.

The only bad thing with my time slot is from 6PM-8PM
I don't mind that its two hours long its just that its a bit of a drive, the wedding ends late, so we might not have time for a party afterwords!!
But I am not worried about that anymore, me and my fiance agreed to have a party before the day of the wedding to celebrate and just get married the day after!
and I'm beginning to love the time of the day that I got! I just hope I get the sunset, If not, the lanterns they have there will make the Chapel so much more romantic! I think either way I win!

The day we went to visit the Chapel I learned quite a bit about it.
The owner decided to name the Chapel after Dulcinea, a female character in the novel called DON QUIXOTE.
Dulcinea is a young woman that Don Quixote was passionately in love with and often calls her his true love, even though he has never talked to her nor met!

I find that kind of a coincidence because when I was in High School, that's where me and my fiance Chadd know each other from, I first saw him and I immediately fell for him! I don't know what it was about him that I found so attractive, I was just so very attracted to him! I didn't know his name, I didn't know anything about him! I often told myself he would be my future husband! LOL and who knew? WHO KNEW I would end up his WIFE!!

SIDE STORY: He was rly into art and he was rly good at it too!! one year I got to go to an art competition, he went too! And well I was hoping I would get a chance to hang out with him and talk! But whenever I tried looking for him I couldn't find him! So I just hung out with my friend Travis(he was friends with Chadd), and after we were done presenting our art with the judges we (along with a some others) went out to GATTI TOWN, which is a fancy Mr Gatties with arcade games. So I had one token left and I couldn't do anything with it so I kept it. When we came back Chadd went up to us in a rush and asked us where we went, we just went to go eat, I guess since a lot of us went he thought we had left him behind! And I remember him being upset that he didn't come with us because he was hungry too, so I handed him the token I had left and told him it was a souvenir. A few years later when we first started dating, he showed me the coin I had given him in High School 4 years prior to. I was kind of shocked that he had kept the coin for so long!! He has mentioned before that he wants to make the coin into a ring and have that as my wedding ring, or just use it to propose with. I thought that was super sweet! but we have yet to go through with that plan.

I'm just so glad and happy that we found a PERFECT place to have our wedding at!

A LOVE STORY: part one!

Once upon a time there was a shy chubby mexican girl in highschool...
Day dreaming most of the day about the perfect prince charming she thought she would never get to meet...

there was a new boy in school, she would have only seen him from a distance.
She was in the art club and soon he would join too, and for the first time she got a very good look at him she found herself unable to look away. Once she learned his name love began to plant roots for this boy... this boy named.....

Chadd...

Luz has a quiet obsession with this boy named Chadd...
she could never express her feelings to him in person, she couldn't get to know him. Luz judged herself too harshly, a prince charming has to have a perfect princess, "he probably already has a perfect princess... thin, beautiful and all~" she thought to herself all the time!
she could only love him from a far. She didnt know much of this boy named Chadd, only that he was very artistic, very attractive and oh so perfect.
Chadd would graduate in a year then she would never see him again...

Luz would still think of him, she told herself that would be her future husband if only in her mind. She would later pursue many other relationships for three very long years, little by little she would lose hope to ever see her prince charming again...

Luz lead an individual life moving out of her mother's house and in with her sister. She grew tired of taking the bus to school, work, and any other place. With her move to her sister's house, she took a different bus rout to her new home.

One day Luz was headed home with no hurry after a long day at work, almost missing her bus, she ran and chased it, knowing that another bus will come by in less than twenty minutes, but she was in no hurry although she felt the urge to ride this specific bus. Out of breath she loads the bus, nearly empty she searches for a good place to sit.
To her surprise she sees her one and only prince, perfect prince Chadd, sitting oh so lonesome, he recognizes her and looks to her for some company. She smiles at him after he smiles at her. Luz's heart begins to pound faster the closer she gets to her prince charming, as the bus takes off she holds on to something to keep her from losing her balance. she was planing to sit behind him, but he clears the seat next to him, she pauses and feels overwhelmed with happiness that Chadd wants her to sit next to him.

They begin to talk and catch up on each others' lives. Luz never wanted this moment to end, as fast as they started talking the conversation ended faster once Chadd said his stop was next, he hands her his business card with his name, she asked where his work was at, and he said the doors at PARADISE....
She thought of her self as silly not figuring out that her prince charming guards the doors to PARADISE~~



Months passed and all Luz could think about was that one awesome moment she spend on the bus with Chadd.
Wanting to see more of Chadd, she decided to go down and walk around places near Paradise to see if she could get noticed by him...
right as she decided to start leaving, she almost takes one step to cross the street, but hears her name being called from a distance. Running towards her is her prince charming saying hello, they have a small conversation and exchange phone numbers before he has to go back to the doors at Paradise.

Sailor moon...

Ok so my boyfriend Chadd keeps mentioning that I should make a blog of my ranting about sailor moon...
here goes!

most of my early memories of when I was little was mostly of sailor moon, I think the same as I thought then, mostly of sailor moon. A lot of stores had A LOT of sailor moon things and well I couldn't scape it, I had moon on the brain and I never thought that I would STILL have moon on the brain, no doubt I later figured out that sailor moon brings me joy inside like nothing else i have ever experienced, its a type of high feeling that never gets old!

I lived in Mexico until I was seven, well I was born in Wisconsin and my mom moved to Mexico right after I was born, although I do have many memories other than sailor moon, I just remember the cartoons I used to watch, and well frankly I just remember sailor moon.. lol
well anyway, most of my friends back in the day also liked sailor moon, idk if it was coz it was trendy for little girls, but it wasn't trendy for me.. still isnt.
When I moved to the United States at the age of 7 or 8 I remember Sailor Moon being a "big thing" here too, although I think it was new here for some reason.. I later found out that in Mexico they don't bother to edit out anything in any anime, they just add spanish voices and release it, but here in the states they edit and add voices, which made sailor moon feel kind of hollow~~ later I found out that they also had changed stories and relationships between characters, and that rly bothered me so I made a rule to myself that I will only watch anime with subtitles!

for example I was a huge fan of Naruto before it blew up here in the U.S. I TRIED to watch it in english but it just pissed me off how they completely change what the characters say... it might be a slight difference to most but to me the slightest change can ruin an already favorite anime~

in middle school I met a couple of friends with the same level of passion that I had towards sailor moon, and well we became rly good friends, although one of them ended up moving to Tennessee( I miss you T__T'')
she fueled my passion for sailor moon, just as I was loosing hope that there was no one left on the face of the earth that loved sailor moon as much as I did.
anyway, one of those friends ended up being one of my neighbors lol so for halloween we dressed up as sailor scouts, she was sailor venus and I was sailor mars, whenever we hung out we always roll played in her backyard, she had other friends that I met that were crazy over sailor moon aswell! it was my kind of heaven!
but then I moved and we attended different highschools... LAME!!!
BUT I reunited with old friends there aswell :3
none as crazy for sailor moon as I was... but I introduced them to other stuff
As a freshman I found a rly cheesy sailor moon back pack(which I now feel super embarrassed that I ever used it) that I used... but then started to fall apart~
and I kind of wore my hair in a super simple yet very lazy sailor moon pig tails... that I also kind of regret.. coz for homecoming week at my school we had a theme for every day of the week, and it made me realized that ppl thought that my hair was tacky coz for "tacky tuesday" a lot of girls had their hair up like I made mine... needless to say I never put it up like that anymore~~ .__.''''

throughout highschool I started to collect sailor moon stuff because it was beginning to be harder and harder to find...
my collection isn't that big, but its not small either, but I still crave more! lol

this will have to be the end for now~

oh.. here is a picture of me and my sister, she is in my sailor mercury costume~
