About Me

Greetings one and all. My name is Amanda, Mandy or you can call me Proth.I was told to change my 'about me' section as it apeared "too hostile". So here goes. I moved to the US from England two years ago with my boy Owen. Owen is my hero, my love, my joy and I want to raise him to have a wonderful childhood full of happy memories, be a good and honest man who respects women and loves life. My boy is a comedy genius at times! I like to think of myself as a proud feminist but I know the 'F' word scares most people oooooo. Take a look to your left, yeah in the interests section. The basic definition of feminism - well thats what i'm about, equal rights, not just for women but for everyone. I'm a woman so thats what i relate to best. I can be pretty funny with the right comedy partner/s. I like crap jokes that you find on lolly pop sticks. I LOVE roller coasters and places like wild rivers (even though hundreds of kids pee in the water day after day).
I edited my profile with Thomas’ Myspace Editor V3.6 !
