d00d!! My name's Amanda..I also go by Mandi, AJ, that girl or..whatever. :) I'm pretty shy/quiet around most people, but when I'm with my rock n' roll friends, or else defending my beliefs I can get rather boisterous.
I draw, paint, and on occasion write short stories. You can see my artwork here:
SKULLBERRIES
I'm a tattoo artist at a little place called Skin Flicks. I'm still new to the game, but I really love it and I'm hoping to make a career out of it. The slide show below showcases some of my tattoo work--to see more work, follow the SKULLBERRIES link, posted above.
I'm hopelessly fascinated by the undead, the paranormal, and anything having to do with H.P. Lovecraft--the man's a genius. I'm also into horror movies, comic books (Hellboy and Dangergirl are two of my faves), and long boarding. Oh and music's a big thing with me too; I like all sorts, and I love going to shows.
Also: I have VERY vivid dreams. And they're always really unusual. Some of my favorites where about cyborg grizzly bears, paper cut-out vikings, worlds reminiscent of H.R. Giger paintings, giant silver honey combs, being voiceless, women with prehensile tentacles for hair, melting zombies, among many many other things...And more recently, I've dreamt of a dragon tattoo coming to life, and another about me and a friend saying, "Fuck them all," and burning down a club house. :) Anyway, sometimes they are very whimsical, fanciful dreams, other times they are dark and foreboding. But I generally enjoy them no matter what, except for those when I find myself unable to use my voice when I'm in imminent danger--generally from a regular human and not a monster. I consider myself lucky to remember my many dreams when most people can't, if they dream at all. And whoever said that we don't dream in color is wrong.
Some of the only things I don't like include the censorship of music, fake people, touchy feely people, close-mindedness, racism, and people who push their beliefs on me...
