Hi. My name is Amanda.
Theories on life:
~I am a huge believer in honesty. There may be no real truth to anything, but there is beliefs. And those beliefs should be expressed.
~Another thing I tell people is I ask them which they would rather work with: Walking down a sidewalk that looks old and cracked through a neighborhood with dismal surroundings, or this exact same situation coated in fog.
~In case you didn't understand that metaphor: The fog represents dishonesty. The cracks in the sidewalk represent the imperfections of the world.
~I know who I am and I know my purpose in life. And I'm glad to be one of the few people who can say that.
~I prefer living on the edge to being trapped in a safety bubble.
Favorite quotes:
"I bet you're waiting for a long sob story of how I was mistreated again... but NO, I wasn't built that way, I was strong and desperately brave! And I didn't mean to scare ya..."-Blue October
"Please don't take me away from this place, just leave me here in my dreams... everything's perfect, I don't want to wake up, I just want to lie next to you in this bed, hear your heart beating... I need this feeling to last me forever and ever, oh God, don't let it end."-The Smashup
"Do you wonder what it's like, living in a permanent imagination?... Sleeping to escape reality, but you like it like that"-Orgy
Angels with silver wings shouldn't know suffering... I wish I could take the pain for you"-Depeche Mode
"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
"How could it not be right, if it is done with love?"-Susan Atkins (This quote is from the song "Sadie" by the Alkaline Trio)
"We all begin to burn... Autumn's flame dances in my eyes"-A.F.I.
"My first act of treason was picking up a pen, My first act of love was finding myself again..."-Otep
