I'm Amanda. I'm 19. I tend to like things. I especially like making lists about myself, other people and my viewpoints. I also like animals, feeling safe, remembering things and looking at / taking pictures. Some things I DON'T like include math, vomit, conflict and post-traumatic stress disorder.

  • I think that garden salsa sun chips are delicious.
  • I used to sing “Silent Night” at my Mom’s church every year at Christmas (in front of everyone).
  • I kind of want to have a “special calendar”, just because Natasha Avalon did it in Cardcaptors.
  • There are some videos on my Youtube account that I have set to “private” because I feel embarrassed about them (or they involve bad memories).
  • I’ve always had trouble with depending on people or asking them for help (even teachers).
  • I like making combinations when I’m eating jelly belly’s gourmet jelly beans.
  • I’m never able to picture myself with my own physical body or personality in my daydreams. I’m always another person or character.
  • I love the look of sunlight shining on my made bed.
  • I am insecure. I’m insecure about being a girl, I’m insecure about liking “girly” things, I’m insecure about relationships, I’m insecure about friendships, and because of this I’ve never really been able to be myself. I even act the way that people expect me to act, just so I don’t disappoint them.
  • When I see (0,0) in Math class, I’m reminded of an owl.
  • I’m secretly fascinated by science, and have been for years, but I don’t understand a lot of it, save for biology.
  • It’s a rare thing for me to not forgive someone.
  • I have high standards for friendship, I guess – I will stop being your friend if you disrespect me, or if I can no longer trust you or talk to you about things.
  • I still haven’t finished “Jack London: Tales from the North.”
  • I think that people are bigger dicks if they haven’t had a lot of experience with talking to other people – I think it makes them screw up more and say things in a less tactful way.
  • I have a whole little basket of floppy disks with old stories that never got finished.
  • I have some trouble with expressing myself. I’m very reserved and often do the same things over and over out of insecurity.
  • Eating meat often bothers me – I kind of hate the idea of eating an animal.
  • I’m very private.
  • I can go without T.V. for ages, but not my Internet.
  • I like “For Better or for Worse”.
  • I kind of hate America for how much more consumer-ish it is than Canada, but I’m also kind of fascinated with that.
  • I like old-fashioned things. Behaviours, items, etc.
  • I’m in love, but he doesn’t love me back, and it destroys me every fucking day.
  • I love Liv Tyler. I think she is the most beautiful woman, inside and out, in the entire world.
  • I have a book that my mom spilled coffee on and now I write and doodle in it. I renamed it “Carlos” instead of “Inkspell” (it’s actual title).

  • I think caring guys are the sexiest.
  • I love Liz Phair’s music.

  • I find it strangely interesting that Larissa loves mushrooms so much.
  • I used to believe that blowing on a loose eyelash would grant a wish.

  • I’m happy that I’ve kept online journals and notebooks throughout my teenage years, because it helps me remember that there was a time when I was happier and less sick. Without these things, I wouldn’t be able to remember a time without him as an overtone.

  • When I was a kid, I wanted to be a Mermaid.
  • I own an old-fashioned (stylistically) alarm clock. It’s super loud, and I’m always scared it will wake up EVERYONE…
  • I’m very paranoid about flushing the toilet at night, lest I wake everyone.
  • I have another alarm clock that really just serves as a clock, which is shaped like an egg :o)
  • I think that the name “Edda” is perfect for an old lady Witch in a story. Edda the Thistle Witch :o)
  • My bedroom is a perfect reflection of who I was when I was in 7th grade, but since I have changed I really want to redo it.
  • My favourite poem is “The World” by Henry Vaughn, followed by Emily Dickinson’s “A word is dead / When it is said / Some say. / I say it just / Begins to live / That day.”
