Lend Me Your Fears That Hide Your Prison

About Me


from OTHWEB.net
Random Amanda Facts:
*I am 3/4% German, 1/8% Irish, and 1/8% Cherokee Indian.
*I am quiet and serious by nature. I can appear to be aloof at times but really I'm just very shy around new people. Once I get to know somebody and am comfortable I'm less quiet and my sarcastic sense of humor will come out.
*Im very organized and probably one of the most punctual people you'd ever meet.
*I am an overachieving perfectionist and I embrace that quality in myself.
*I'm stubborn and at times can be quite irascible.
*I enjoy debating because I love pointing out weaknesses in others' arguments. Hey, my philosophical training has taught me well!
*I have a border collie named Hayleigh
*My favorite foods are mashed potatoes, soup, cheese, sushi (preferably with salmon), and vegetarian burritos (minus the green peppers of course).
*I love shopping in vintage stores or on eBay.
*I love NASCAR and football. (Go Bears!)
*To me, family and friends are the most important things in life.
*I have a fear of escalators.And spiders. Man do I hate spiders.
*I love autumn and winter, but can't stand summer. Spring really isn't too great either
*The colder and rainier/snowier the day, the better for me.
*I have studied German, French, and Spanish, yet am far from being fluent in any of them.
*I love to read, especially classic literature and philosophical texts.
*My favorite animals are bats.
*My favorite colors are black and green. (and yes, I am aware that black isn't really a color.)
*TV shows I am currently watching: America's Next Top Model, Friday Night Lights, Gossip Girl, Heroes, Jericho, One Tree Hill, and The Office. RIP Veronica Mars. :(

Philosophy: Selfless Acts?
