My name is Maria but everyone knows me as
Chester... as the site's name
explains it, I was born a fan, I have just too many fandoms to make a site
for every single one of them, that's why I decided to make a site for them
all. I'm going to be an English teacher and I love this language way too
much (I actually use it on the net way more than my mother's language). I'm
22 years old but I still feel like I'm 12, life is happier that way. I'm
blind as a bat but I love to read, write and draw (the last one just where
there's a LOT of light). I don't believe in trends and I consider myself
unique, I love to laugh but I can be really explosive too.
My dog's name is Paul after
Paul McCartney, one of my biggest
fandoms, his full name is actually Paul Dylan Presley hehe I'll never have
enough dogs to name them after my fandoms haha!. He's my beautiful baby and
even though he can some times get on my nerves I love him way too much.
I love watching movies, I've seen and I own so many movies it can't be
healthy *lol* my latest addition (Sept 6th, 2007) was
Down With Love of
Ewan McGregor. My favorite movie's
probably Moulin Rouge because I've
seen it more than 10 times. But I fell really hard for
Giant of James Dean. But choosing
just one movie is like trying to choose for ONE favorite song, so I have a
lot of fave movies.
My favorite actors are from Elvis to Noah Wyle, if I've seen so many movies
it's because I watch one (i.g. Constantine) and I get obsessed with the lead
actor (in this case Keanu Reeves) I save myself the problem to think about
what to see when I go to rent movies, I only walk through the place looking
for movies of Keanu Reeves and after I've seen all of the movies they have
of this actor I get obsessed with another one and watch almost all of his
movies, and that's why I've seen like a thousand movies haha. But when I
really get obsessed I buy the movies, like the movies of Ewan McGregor, Jude
Law, James Dean, Elvis, etc. (Even though I bought
Rebel Without A Cause before I fell
for James Dean haha).
I have a huuuge obsession with Superman
and Star Wars, I even bought a kids
outfit just because it had Brandon Routh's picture on it, I don't even have
little brothers haha.
About Music, phh... my favorite subject, I listen to all kind of music, I'm
a good critic, I don't hate a singer or band just because, if I don't like a
singer or a band it's because I've heard their work and I didn't like it, I
don't follow trends, not even in music, so I can like pop as much as I can
like the heaviest rock if the music and lyrics are good or I just simply
like them for the silliest reason. My bands are The Beatles, Linkin Park,
The Doors and Nirvana as I've mentioned before. I've been a fan of Linkin
Park for 6 years, and 4 years for the rest. I have a huuuge collection of
things of this bands, DVD's, CD's, Callendars, T-shirts, Posters, etc.
I watch movies or listen to music just as much as I read (well, not that
much 'cause I actually don't have enough time to do them all, ALL the time)
but I read a lot, just like music or films, I don't have a specific type of
books, I like them all, I've read from J.K. Rowling to Oscar Wilde, right
now I'm reading a book called Demian, I haven't had the time to finish it,
I'm already in the middle of the book and I've only sat to read it once.
Oh and as you can see, I love to write about me hehe, a bit egocentric, I
call it the rockstar complex haha. But I guess that's all, if you want to
know more about me all you have to do is ask.

ABOUT
I made this site because I have a lot of fandoms. I like
a lot of movies like I like a lot of bands and I already have too much sites
about my favorite bands, so the idea of this one was to talk about everything I
like here instead of making another 10000 sites. I hope I can
make it as interesting as possible, but if you don't like what you see, I'm
sorry... I only talk about what I like. Thanks for
visiting the site and hope you had a great time.
