Miss Amanda {Is disappearing for awhile.}

I lied my face off when I said I'd be okay.

About Me

WHAT ARE THE ODDS OF
me letting you down?


There are many things in life that make me happy. Like my car. and funny random moments. the perfect picture that captures the moment forever. loud music and wind in my hair. boys with pretty smiles. polish last names. dane cook references. hugs. late night conversations. secrets. lame insults. road trips. the beach. the city... though i wouldn't want to live in one. people watching. rainy days are made for puddle jumping. pretty smells. when people make up words.
My life revolves around school, work, and random-ocity. Without the latter of these, I'd lose my sanity.
Want to get in touch with me... AIM = Cantquitmequikly
You cannot quit me so quickly
There's no hope in you for me
No corner you could squeeze me
But I got all the time for you, love
The Space Between
The tears we cry
Is the laughter keeps us coming back for more
The Space Between
The wicked lies we tell
And hope to keep safe from the pain
