A list of some of my favorite possessions.
Before we begin, however, I’d like to start with an important verse.
“Don’t store up treasures here on earth, where moths eat them and rust destroys them, and where thieves break in and steal. Store your treasures in heaven, where moths and rust cannot destroy, and thieves do not break in and steal. ”
-Matthew 6:19-20
A valuable lesson to live by – although it’s perfectly acceptable to be happy with what we have been blessed with here during our lifetime. :]
(add retired items)
Charm bracelet – I take care of web design and site upkeep for charmsamore.com, and the owner makes charms for me out of my own artwork.
Desk
Artses – We really can’t forget the mountains of endless artwork all over the place. Sketch assignments, paintings, ink work, digital pieces and B&W photography.
Choker – I possess multiple chokers, they’re my thing. But this is my fav of them all. I made it by hand when I was twelve (2003), and it’s gotten very worn out… but it
still means so much. That star/flower in the middle is made of real opals, my birth stone, and was a on a necklace from my grandmother some years back.
Wing earrings – saw these at Icing right after getting paid, and…well…you know me~
Sakura goodness – When you walk into my apartment, sakura is the first thing you smell, and this is why: air fresheners, perfumes, soaps, bubble bath, lotions,
shower gels, and body butter. And it was all gifted to me for Christmas or b-days save for the air fresheners. Ah…and there’s the poster I won second
place at a convention with. =]
Walls… – Posters of Sailor Moon, DBZ, Inuyasha, Zelda, and the framed one on the left is my OoT Sages piece. I also really like that tiny little Inuyasha pic on the far right.
…it’s holographic. :3
Manga – A very tiny collection because I learned very quickly that manga are expensive, and I don’t care much about buying them. As long as I can read them in-store and
know what happens…we’re good! The two SM ones were gifts for my 13th b-day (2002), I gathered a few of Kenshin since it’s my fav, and then found the two Ocarina
of Time mangas in a Japanese store before they were released in English for my 16th birthday (2005).
Sapphire necklace – When I was visiting my first boyfriend one summer, we were at the mall just looking at stuff when I spotted this in a jewelry store. I NEVER look at
jewelry unless I’m looking for something specific. But this caught my eye. It’s very bright and colorful when light hits it just right, and I didn’t realize that every stone
on it was a sapphire until the man behind the counter told me. The only exception is the dark red ones. Those are rubies. But I’d no idea sapphires were more colors
than just dark blue. I stared at the thing for a long time, but the price was over $200, so I walked away after seeing that. An entire year passed, and I actually had dreams
about this thing. It had really left an impression. So, right as I was about to graduate high school, mom asked what I wanted for a graduation present. ^__^ WELL.
Needless to say…didn’t matter that this was in a different state, I packed bags and went back for it. Luckily they had two left, and were like “Lady, you’re intense…” Haha~
And I can’t believe they remembered that my bf and I were the couple that met online……x.X
Zelda – That cedar box has a Triforce etched into it because it holds two VERY valuable treasures inside. Nuff said~ (see whole Zelda collection)
The plush – In the left photo are the four that sleep with my every night. Jinggles and Patsy (the bears) are my favorite because they’ve been with me literally for life.
And on the right we have the rest of the millions of plush toys stashed in my closet…that really…I’m attached to, but should be donated. -.-
Bamboo pole – Back when I was 12 and livin’ in Texas my neighbor brought home a ton of these things and asked if my brother and I wanted some. Uh…let’s see…big
long cool-lookin’ sticks to beat the crap out of each other with….YES. Mine’s approximately 75″ tall.
Name puzzle – A treasure of sentimental value as it’s been with me since I was a baby. The A is missing…but that’s ok…it was pink. =|
(heh, can you tell I’m obsessed with my name yet…)
Rainbow wrap – Mom got me hooked on Joann’s Fabrics stores after she drug me there countless times (she used to make all my clothes). I LOOOVED the shiny fabric.
Like…I’d literally go find a bunch and wrap myself in it until mom was done shopping. One day when I was older I finally asked her to get me some just for the heck of it.
She did. And I made it into a simple wrap. But not before draping it over the fort of moving boxes in my room as a doorway to my Zelda Shrine. *cough*
Sun catcher – Another gift from mom. I love shiny things (obviously). And a crystal which makes prism effects with the sun is to die for in my book.
The sword – Ah, yes. My little blade of doom. It smells like cedar, and I’ve always imagined Link smelling like that (living in a tree n’ all), so I smell it often. lol
And there’s that necklace…
USAF uniforms – I have multiple military uniforms to wear in ROTC (Blues, ABUs, PTs), and I’ll treasure them all as symbols of the duty I’ve taken up.
Uni Plaque – I can’t remember who I was visiting when I made this, but it was one of those ceremic shops where you paint on different pieces and then have them
fired/glazed. I chose to make a Universe plaque that day back in 2004. And above that is a sakura kanji that a Japanese exchange student painted for me.
Anime and games – My little collection of good ole Nihon entertainment. F-Zero, Super Smash Bros. Melee and Brawl, Mario Party 4, Soul Calibur 2, Wind Waker,
Twilight Princess, the GCN and Wii, a collection of the entire Sailor Moon R series minues one DVD (couldn’t find it), three Sailor Moon movies, 2 SMR tapes, and 2 SMS tapes, Samurai X, Gundam Wing: Endless Waltz, 4 G Gundam DVDs, a YuGiOh movie (=D), and Zelda Collectors Disc…with a new cover on it that I
incorperated my artwork of Link onto~ And y’know what I forgot to include…..my Inuyasha movies (#s 1,3,and 4)! x.X Also my Disney VHS tapes…perhaps I’ll include those later.
Anime Table – Wth…forgot to add this first time around. =_= That’s annoying. Basically this thing holds some figurines I’ve collected. I don’t know why I bothered to get Edward…
that was random, but Wing Zero, Kikyo, Sesshoumaru, Kagome, and the two androids from DBZ are some of my favorites. The Uranus doll was a gift from my mother
on my 13th birthday to go with my Sailor Neptune cosplay. Bowser was obtained randomly on halloween. Obviously there’s some Uni art and a DSlite with LoZ: Spirit Tracks. <3
There’s a card under my Death Note which was supposed to be a gift card to an anime shop after winning 3rd place in the digital art contest at the convention I go to. Buuuuuut….
I never went. And I know some folks who’d literally kill me over that. Man…artists get so bitter. x_x
Anyway, that Link image…is the same one I used to kiss every night in 6th grade before going to bed. Sue me. p:
TO ADD:
-Uni posters…digital and traditional, yukata, sakabatou, angel snow globe, SM bag, KITTY!, 3DS, photoshop…, tablet, car
