About Me

outspoken and secretive, rude and delicate, cynical and optimistic, offensive and affectionate Amanda Lezama --
[adjective]:

SIMILAR TO BUTTER IN TEXTURE AND APPEARANCE

'How will you be defined in the dictionary?' at QuizGalaxy.comit's official- i'm "like butter"

My Interests

i love driving around middle class neighborhoods the night before large item trash pick up day and "finding" old semi-broken furniture that i can spray paint and make awesome

Music:

I'm all over the place from whiny solo acoustic, crunchy growling hardcore, melodic poppy indie rock, irreverent old school punk, proper traditional ska, 70s revival rock, crazy bands with a dozen people on stage playing everything from flutes to trash cans to theramins ::::::Bands I've seen and retained ticket stubs as proof: The Cure, David Bowie, the Shins, Oasis, Foo Fighters, The Sounds, Jimmy Eat World, Tenacious D, Beck, Pretty Girls Make Graves, Dashboard Confessional, The Get Up Kids, Coheed and Cambria, Coldplay, Minus the Bear, Hepcat, the Juliana Theory, Blindside...I could go on but I only named the ones I thought would make you want to be my friend:::::::::::

Movies:

I have a sweet tooth for Tom Hanks movies (i.e. Splash, the Money Pit, Dragnet, Big, Punch Line, the 'Burbs, A League Of Their Own, Sleepless in Seattle, Forrest Gump, Apollo 13, That Thing You Do, Saving Private Ryan, Toy Story, You've Got Mail, Cast Away, Catch Me If You Can, The Terminal). It's an unexplained phenomenon. As a funny guy once said, "Yep, Ah like me some Hanks and Spielberg, Ah sure do!"

Television:
