My name is Amanda.

I pretty much am enjoying life. I live near Chicago. I have many friends. I'm easy to get along with. I love everyone. I write. I draw. Nice to meet you! =)

Some other stuff about me:

~The most important things to me in life are: Art, music, my friends, and love.
~I'm going to school at the American Academy of Art in Chicago.
~My first crush... was on Mario... from the Nintendo games.
~I played with insects and spiders instead of dolls when I was a little kid...
~I was adopted because my birth parents were crazy (literally) and they couldn't take care of me.
~I'm good with metaphors and analyzing words.
~My IQ is above average (about 127), but I have no common sense!
~I think too much about things.
~I have odd religious beliefs. I believe that we are all God, and we all affect the world in different ways.
~For me, there is no difference between dreaming and being awake.
~I know who I am and my purpose in life. I'm proud to be one of the few people my age who can say that.
~I aspire to become an Art Therapist and help the mentally ill express themselves.
~I think too much about everything.
~I consider myself pansexual, meaning I am capable of romanticly loving ANYONE, reguardless of gender. However, I will only date ladies. (Sorry if you're a guy and I just crushed your dreams)
~I believe in equal rights for EVERYONE, no matter if you are black, white, purple or GAY.
~I am known for my celebrity crushes.
(Currently, they are: Kristen Stewart, Haley Williams, Amanda Palmer)
~I'm no good at remembering.





Favorite Quotes:

"As you get older you will gain a bit more control over everything. Don't let anyone, even your parents, break you. Find good people who care about you and surround yourself with just them. If you can't find them at first, find good music and fall into it and let it hold you until they come..."-Davey Havok

"Imagination is more important than knowledge."-Albert Einstein

"I would rather be hated for who I am than loved for who I am not"-Kurt Cobain

"I'm ready to take that big step, start tearing off the layers I put up; or is it too late to be anything but what I am? Identify the problem, Now let's see if we can fix anything."-Bayside
