the very nature of love is to grieve when it's over...to love is to feel pain; there ain't no way ar

About Me


in our end is our beginning; in our time, infinity.
in our doubt, there is believing; in our life, eternity.
i'm pretty damn proud of my mommy and daddy.
•to be free, one must give up a little part of oneself.
my name is amelia jane mcbryde.
i'm a pretty unusual person, when i actually think about it... i'm convinced that i will marry a man of another culture because white men bore me, i don't know how to swim (NOR do i care to learn, thank you very much), i have gone skiing once in my life and will NEVER ever go again, as long as i live, i sleep on my arms, and i talk to my dogs (not like they're dogs, but like they're humans). and THOSE are merely a few of my oddities. i'm fascinated by...well, a lot of stuff...but primarily other cultures, other languages, and various dialects - SO fascinated, in fact, that i find american culture and the english language ugly and boring. i am fiercely proud of (and close to) my family and will be immensely offended if you attempt to insult them - even my terribly spoiled older sister, who stepped on me when i was a baby (which, i'm convinced, means that she hates me).
i'm fairly easy-going (well, to an extent) -- if you aren't a total jerk-off retard, i'll more than likely talk your ear off. contrariwise i'm a pretty good listener (although this often gets me in trouble). i'm fairly patient, although sometimes i easily lose my temper (in which case, you do not want to be near me). umm...my favorite color is green, i hate onions, and i'm obsessed with alice in wonderland.

^ that's me!

My Interests

first of all, i'm obsessed
...not interested.

i like to have a good time. i like to smile and laugh. i like to remember places, people, nice things, and other good times. i speak spanish and my boyfriend is teaching me arabic...and that just about occupies all my time. but when i'm not being a total language geek, i play the guitar, learning a little more ever so slowly each day, and write cheesy cheeseball cheesecake cheeto love songs. don't break my heart or i'll embarrass the shit out of you and make you wish you were never born.

I'd like to meet:

•ARCANGEL, so that we can make beautiful, spanish-speaking offspring.

•truthfully, i'd be interested in meeting anyone who can hold an intelligent conversation with me, or who can understand [and not be frightened by] some of the crazy shit that goes on in my head...because there are few people i've met in this lifetime who possess that ability.

ALSO:
•Albus Dumbledore [fuck you, don't laugh].
•William Faulkner
•Ernest Hemmingway
•Gabriel García Márquez

"don't care"

yes, but in the imperative tense. as in, "don't care for that, amy." when did it become psychologically possible to refrain from "caring" about something? or someone? and if this is possible, why do w...
