About Me

the low-down on amanda:
-she loves musical theater and plays song, musical, and composer-naming games with anyone who will play.
-she loves her friends. They mean the world to her.
-she's a little crazy, isn't everyone, though?
-it isn't wise to get on her bad side.
-she directs musicals. that's her life. even if she does props or designs something or focuses a light, she'd do it because it's theatre and therefore it's beautiful.
-she loves poignant quotes.
"so in the end, was it worth it? jesus christ. how irreparably changed my life has become. it's always the last day of summer and i've been left out in the cold with no door to get back in. i'll grant you i've had more than my share of poignant moments. life passes most people by while they're making grand plans for it. throughout my lifetime, i've left pieces of my heart here and there. and now, there's almost not enough to stay alive. but i force a smile, knowing that my ambition far exceeded my talent. there are no more white horses or pretty ladies at my door."--blow.
"...but it's hard to stay mad, when there's so much beauty in the world. Sometimes I feel like I'm seeing it all at once, and it's too much, my heart fills up like a balloon that's about to burst... And then I remember to relax, and stop trying to hold on to it, and then it flows through me like rain and I can't feel anything but gratitude for every single moment of my stupid little life... You have no idea what I'm talking about, I'm sure. But don't worry... you will someday." --american beauty.LOVEMYFLASH CODE
