We went to FanX for my birthday! That was cool. Atlantean was obsessed with pointing out all the cosplays and was frustrated when he didn't know one. It was great timing because both our tax return and his paycheck had come in, so I felt literally no stress about our spending, as long as we were reasonable. We went and splurged on fun things like buying gourmet licorice (why not!) and a mystery My Hero Academia grab box (with an equivalent of six My Hero Academia keychains and everything else either Dragon Ball Z, One Punch Man, Evolve or Pokémon 😛.). But it was the experience that counts I think. Then we basically got together and decided what couple items we would find and buy when we got back (and I got the grossest sandwich) and we got me a She-Hulk print (I really usually don't buy art), two One Piece pops for Atlantean's collection and then a cool deck of "Angel" cards we both initially liked the art for.
Did I mention we also bought 50$ worth of belts for the occasion? Superhero belts that is! Atlantean and I decided that since our My Hero Academia half-cosplays (tshirts) hadn't come in the mail yet, Atlantean came up with the idea to just wear all the Superman and Green Lantern paraphernalia we owned. So I racked UP. He only had a tshirt, necklace, a couple pins and a new belt of Green Lantern, but I have a LITTLE more Superman stuff. I wore a Superman beanie, pin, shirt, backpack, belt, Clark Kent glasses. I put a Superman phone wallet on my phone, I have a Superman wallet already, I packed the Superman backpack (which is a giant adorable plush Pop Superman!) with a Superman pez dispenser (which the bag check lady laughed at), Superman fidget spinner, Superman pack of cards and Superman mints. I wore Superman fingerless gloves, Superman earrings, Superman pocketwatch and Superman badge that says I'm Clark Kent. I was Superman-ed UP. I got comments a lot about "I wonder who your favorite superhero is." Even from like a homeless guy. It was great. I was SUPERMAN (fan). I had one (homeless?) guy yell at me and say "Hey Supergirl! I need a flight to Detroit!" and I said, "Get in line!" I had one lady come up to me in line and ask "Alright, then the question is, Henry Cavill or Brandon Routh?" (which are Superman actors) and I pshawed and said, "Christopher Reeves." and she said, "Brandon Routh was the right answer, but he comes from Christopher Reeves, so I guess that works." and we chatted for a while about actors I had no idea about, but it was cool to have someone approach me about it lol.
We had planned to go with Atlantean's family to Texas Roadhouse for my birthday, but I started getting a really bad headache, and there were a couple of reasons for it: One, I'd stayed up til 1:30 AM the night before and had only gotten five hours of fitful sleep after a good, good D&D session that was still running through my mind. Two, that crappy sandwich and all that walking. Three, the glasses I wore for Clark Kent actually had lenses, so they distorted my vision a tiny bit, and hurt after wearing them for too long. It was a concoction for some serious nausea, and on the TRAX ride home, I was seriously beginning to think I was going to throw up. When we got back to our car, I asked if we could just drive to Atlantean's house and talk to them about going tonight, because while we'd already made everyone wait til much later than usual to have dinner, telling them we also weren't going seemed super selfish, so I was determined to push through it and go to Texas Steakhouse, but when Atlantean called his mom, she said, "Well, if she isn't feeling well, why don't I just make dinner?" The woman is a Saint. She made an impromptu dinner of Salmon burgers, and I apparently conked out on the couch for two hours, with my loving husband always coming to check on me when things were happening. He paid so much extra attention to me on my birthday, always saying we were going to do what I wanted to do. It was a wonderful stressfree evening and I appreciate my husband and my husband's family so much for it. (And FANX WHOOO!)
Also, there was a girl there who was dressed up as Izuku Midoriya's mother from My Hero Academia and everytime she saw an Izuku cosplay (of which there were plenty) she would hold up her sign that said "Welcome Home!" with his anime face on it and would run up to them screaming things like "I Love you!" It was great.
On Sunday, my family apparently got a teacher from Paradigm to make them some AMAZING food and we had the cutest cake ever! We saw pictures from my family's vacation and are getting excited for our vacation with them in June. My family got me some cool Western stuff from their vacay as gifts, like some cactus and horsehair earrings, a Native American tale graphic novel and a survival pack of cards.
I also am having trouble stopping listening to a song called Come Along by Cosmo Sheldrake and it's a super weird song. Evidently my brother Gnome found it and liked it, which makes a lot of sense. Also, yesterday I walked over to the church and planned my ESL lesson and read about inspiring Pioneer Woman outside. Best ever! (Except for the fact that I once again left my keys with Atlantean and so I had no way to get there and had to sheepishly call my supervisor and tell her once again I wasn't going to be able to make it out and we had to cancel class and ugh)
Sylph and I finished our animation! Atleast all the pieces are in place, I just have to shoot it and make sure it looks okay and put it into a computer and add all the sound and... 😵
We are putting in our application for our apartment up in Logan soon as well. So that's AWESOME. (Hopefully)
and I am super excited for our next D&D... :#3
(I love where my characters are. Purrrrfectly positioned :3 )

April 15th
Hey! It's the day taxes are due! Crazy lol. TurboTax said ours were e-filed so...
So, yes! Atlantean and I are making plans to move to Logan! My 22nd birthday is coming up this Sunday! We are currently taking care of my family's cats while they are in vacation in Monticello? My dad actually called and needed me to look up some tax documents he'd left on his desk, and it was lucky I was there! We found him the silly number tucked on the bottom of the wrong document, of course lol. I LOVE playing their piano! It's really nice now that I learned that I can just sit down and (admittedly slowly) pound out some of my favorite tunes! I remember the days when I'd buy musical piano books just in the hope that I could convince someone else to play for me, but evidently God had other things in mind! Because now I can play them! And I find such joy in hearing such familiar chords and being the jubilant owner of all of those good, good piano books! I have so many good ones!! I am also very proud to announce that after probably almost 6 months of not driving the stick shift car we own, I took it home and I totally slayed! Even Atlantean was shocked! He said he had been atleast expecting some jolting, but it was smooth as butter babaaaay! He was very proud, as was I.
I'm currently reading
Tao of Pooh
Ella Minnow Pea
And Then You're Dead
Saints: The Standard of Truth
Two are from Paradigm that always intrigued me, one I found an excerpt in The Ensign from and the other just looked interesting.
I've started teaching at the ESL center! In fact, I have my second class tomorrow morning, and Atlantean and I got a chance to go to a party for Volunteer Appreciation, which was pretty cool. I got a picture (which I took) and a card (which one of my students wrote in her adorable English. Found in Soul 20, for my progeny)
We made a list of locations, or places in Logan we want to scout, such as Health Stores, Doctor's offices, swimming pools, etc. Stuff you don't think about til you get there, and I'd love to do some pre-work on that. We are planning on filling out our application to Bridger Pointe Apartments soon. We tried to acclimate our cat to my parent's house, but it went down not well, and it was kind of embarrassing, so we have decided we don't have much of a choice but to keep her, though we will be paying for more expensive housing because of it. But I guess when I got married, I was excited to finally take her away from my parent's house and for her to become my cat and my cat alone (with the exception of Atlantean of course) and she has arguably had the best year of her life so far with us in our cozy apartment, with the most bravery and relaxation I have ever seen from her. Mom says the higher apartment prices are just practice for having kids. I really hope Atlantean (and I, potentially) can find a good enough job to support it.
This morning was awesome! I woke up to driver over and let out the cats and feed them but also made dinner so we can just reheat it when we get home, I managed to exercise and then took a walk while listening to The Adventure Zone, which mentioned French Onion Soup way too much and Atlantean was mentioning because it got him real hungry for it. We have a film festival tonight with Brownie! Admittedly, for kids, but still! I hope it'll be good. If not, we'll just leave I guess lol. I got so inspired by this morning and all the activity I was able to get up to do, that I was reminded of two goals that I just really want in life, and one is to have some kind of small time farm (animals/excuse to get outside) and to be a leader in the community (whether in a political capacity, or in the much more preferable theater/teacher/class capacity. I want to bring people together, and not just kids, but parents too, who need a group where we can work on a project together!)
Atlantean and I are excited to watch the third season of My Hero Academia (admittedly even though it's subbed and not dubbed) using my parents Hulu. ALSO, my parents gave us free reign of their kitchen, so we can eat whatever they have, and then Jinn is starting a Keto diet, so she UNLOADED her pantry and let us have all the excess! It was AWESOME! We have so much filler food! Pasta shells and soup mixes! What a blessing, what a blessing!
Brownie and I met up yesterday to decide what we could do together with our summers considering we will not be doing Sedna, Goddess of the Sea this year. It just didn't feel right and it was too rushed and I lost my star last minute, but on the bright side, we have a lot of good props for when we do decide to put it on. Brownie is such a saint.
Anyway, our plans so far usually include outdoors and animals. I love how similar we are, she is SO awesome! We both like speaking intermittent Spanish, we both like the sound of 90s music! It's crazy! I wanna call her my best friend, but she's so friendly to everyone, I feel like it wouldn't be appropriate? I dunno. I just love doing stuff with her!
My campaign is also going this month. Had to drop the sad moving news to my guild. They were sad, and I don't know if they'll stay together after we go, but Atlantean and I wanted to drop down and do intermittent sessions so I can finish my campaign and we can see them. I can't believe it took me this long to feel friendly with such intelligent people! How I hope two of them get married (fingers crossed! We'll see if they get engaged before we go!) I've also really tried to include Bishop's input on this last mission, because I want the characters to feel something for him. I like playing him and I decided to make a risky executive decision (that went over PRETTY well and should continue to do so if I play my cards right) to basically throw Bishop's character sheet out the window, and have him just have a couple of repeating attacks that I think fit his character rather than making D&D fit him. Yeah, unconventional, but that's the way he needs to roll. I can't keep getting caught up in the details. He dus what he dus.
This past month, I did lose my phone for two weeks. I actually just straight up lost it so there is no happy ending to this story other than the fact that my dad is giving me an iPhone 7 to borrow. I texted Atlantean the Friday night of March the 15th about something about coming home or something, and I exited the CAB East building to get in my car and I never saw it again.
We also have two weddings coming up, I forgot if I already mentioned this, but Elf is getting married! (old family friend) and if she comes enough into my life, I will have to come up with a name for her (Elfette? lol) and Siren is getting married to her beloved Bugbear (that is totally an appropriate name! lol)
Wolfman's still on his mission. Mermaid's preparing to go, and for my 22nd birthday, Atlantean and I are going to FanX! Because our My Hero Academia shirts didn't come in time, we decided to wear all of our superhero paraphernalia, me Superman and him Green Lantern. He's been scrambling for more Green Lantern stuff because my Superman collection puts his to SHAME. (I got to go through it and exhibit it to him last night lol)
Still currently trying to animate with Sylph, going okay I guess. It's hard to do my part. Drawing stuff over and over is not that fun. Trying to do all the fun stuff I wanted to do without breaking the bank before we go! Here's to Logan!!! :D
