"...the future becomes the present, the present the past, and the past turns into everlasting regret if you don't plan for it!" -Amanda on The Glass Menagerie (book version)
*About Me*
First of all I figure I could tell you the name is Amanda. Am acutally about 16 years old, will be going on 5 in a few months. Life is no fun when you're too mature to go puddle-stomping and sled-riding.
Writing is my vice. Sometimes I hit stumbling blocks, and I won't write for an incredibly long time. Sometimes I write like mad. I can't say I have any sort of style, I'll do whatever mulls through my head for a bit.
Me in general? I'm not that interesting. According to some friends (*cough*) I'm a nutter. I hope they're right, normal people bore me. I like saying random things, and will take anyone on in a randomness war. Just bring it. I'm Christian, and I like to think I'm strong in my beliefs. I try not to be the Biblethumper sort, and still open minded, but if you want to have a religious conversation I will most definitely back up my beliefs. And I'm a bit of an optimist at heart. I believe the world has a wonderful little habit of turning out for the best no matter what. That's probably about all you need to know.
Love my friends, owe a lot to them. The ones on here include: Pintsized, Magik Willow, Magik Xander, Sweethart, bearable, brittbrat1585, Ladanday, and Becks. If I know you and don't know it (lol), just leave me a note and I'll add ya.
Oh, one last bit. If it's not obvious already (okay, yah, look at the name)I'm a Tolkienite. And hobbits rock, just so you know. Anyone who says otherwise is an evil minion of Sauron.
And now I'm done. About me that is.

"Seize opportunity by the beard, for it is bald behind" -Bulgarian Proverb
"Everybody knows that if you're too careful, you are so occupied in being careful that you are sure to stumble over something." -Gertrude Stein
"Smile and the world smiles with you, weep and mascara gets all over your face." -The comic, Kathy
"The passing of time is marked by the fading away of that which was once so radiant."-Me

gone bye-bye on August 26, 2006Hi there
I saw you had me on favourites, and I wanted to let you know that I've left my old account for a new one (mia maria), in case you felt like stopping by some time.

driveby-romance on March 8, 2006I just wanted to say that I admire your boldness with your faith, even though tons of people will oppose you on this site.
By the way, good music choices.
