About Me

View my photos at www.flickr.com/photos/amandzee
Well, I suppose that this started as a personal MySpace page, but before I knew it I was networking more and more, adding a shit-ton of bands that I have shot or would like to shoot, and well... a gal's gotta adapt, I suppose. But still, as far as people go, I usually only add someone if I have met them in really-real life. So if I haven't, please send me a message in the form of a one hundred word essay as to why you would like to be my friend. Normal margins, no double-spacing. If you're a band, add away my musical brethren! If you want to see my work, please visit my Flickr account . And yes, I have a lot of shots of my face in the pic section... they're these little things called "self-portraits", and each one is an individual piece that I worked on for a while. So fuck off with your self-righteous namby-pamby art critic bull shit. So there.

Photography, art, being creative in general. Doing things that make me feel more smart and cultured than I actually am, like going to museums or reading art history books. Walking down a street at night, alone. Star-gazing. My pup. Wishing I felt like I did when I was in high school. Fearing the future. Listening to music. Driving fast with the moon roof open. Waiting for autumn. Always wondering "what if...". Missing friends. Butterfly kisses. Feeling a little empty, but kind of liking it.

I'd like to meet:

Please, if you have 9 million friends and they are all women with names like "HoTt SeXXXy BuTtSLUt", don't talk to me. I'm too old for that shit, and if you're more interested in a crotch shot than my opinion, there are plenty of other people you can talk to. If that's your thing, fine, but I don't go looking for penis pics as a judgement of your character.
