April 23rd

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 )
