'Ello. I'm Amy. I'm a rock n' roll girl who has a serious affair with rock n' roll music. Music is my life. I'm always listening to it, making it, or watching it at shows. I've grown up playing instruments. I've played everything from piano to clarinet to guitar to trombone, but my favorite has always been my bass. I hardly play anything anymore, which saddens me, but I constantly have the itch inside me which only music can heal.
I was in Sociology at Chapman University in hopes of one day...well, I'll still get back to you on that. Probably something having to do with social awareness of social issues - drug/rape/violence/etc. awareness...that sort of thing. But I've had to take a step back from school because my life is a wee bit up in the air right now. I've had to devote most of my time to my job, which I'm in no way complaining about. I work for the Disneyland Resort - in Westside Store Opertations. I'm a Stock Replenisment Working Lead & Trainer, as well as a Front of House Working Lead for the New Orleans Square/Critter Country complex. I absolutely adore my job and the people I work with and plan to be there for quite some time.
I like to think I'm good at photography and do a lot of live performance photography for local bands, as well as posed photography and black & white. I'm also a freelance web designer, which is just a fancy way of saying when I'm bored, I make websites. I've been doing it for about 8 or 9 years now.
I have ridiculously strong morals and values, yet I'm not religious in the least, however very spiritual - I believe there is a catastrophically huge difference in the two. Yes, I am straight edge. Yes, it is a pledge to myself and the ones I love that I hold very near and dear to my heart, and do take very seriously. But no, I'm not going to beat the shit out of you because you drink. Although inside I may feel like I want to - I won't. Besides, if I did, it probably wouldn't be for you drinking, it would be for you acting like a complete fucktard to me whilst drinking.
My friends mean the absolute world to me. They're not like family, they are my family. You screw with them and you will find yourself beaten to a bloody pulp and gagged with your respective reproductive organs.
I can be a very intimidating person. My straight-forward/no-bullshit lifestyle has gotten me mistaken for a bitch many-a-times. But once you crack the outer shell, I'm really just a hopeless romantic who's just looking for the right guy to wrap the right pair of arms around me for just the right hug and kiss to make my knees shake and my heart jump.
Speaking of which - I've found that guy. His name is Alex, and he is seriously either a figment of my imagination or a miracle. I'm still in awe that a person like him actually exists. I love him with all my heart and soul. Simply put - my boyfriend is the one that all other boyfriends hate because he's so amazing. :) So, talk to me. I don't bite - unless asked to.
I only hope I can dream as big as this man.

I'm a demon with my camera - it never leaves my side. One of my favorite things to do is jump behind someone I love and snap a picture. See?
