About Me

Hey, it's me, amber. I type my name with a lowercase a on the interwebs so you can differentiate my name from the other Ambers who play it safe with a capital A.

I don't update this profile junk very often so most of it is probably not accurate due to my short attention span.

I'm vegan. Where do I get my protein?

I like cats a lot.

My Interests

Kitties, eating, hiking, saving the world, food, making people laugh, wallowing around in bed with my boy, doing favors, trying to play the ukulele, eating some more.

I'd like to meet:

FRED.

My Blog

So, so pretty.

Get your wallets out and preorder Beirut's new album The Flying Club Cup. It will make you melt. I've only heard half of it (the stuff in mp3 blogs- I didn't snatch the leak like everyone else) and I'...

Greatest video ever.

I played cello 15 years ago and I was actually good. Why did I ever stop? After seeing this I'm in love with the cello all over again. 10x more than the last time. If I had a cello in front of me rig...

It's been one month since I've had my uke and I'm head over heels in love. My fingers are already calloused and I know over a dozen songs. It's the easiest to learn and the most fun of all the instrum...

earthquake

We just had a small earthquake. Well, not small, it was a 4.5 but it was really far away so it was small to me. I was reporting my experience to the governments (for the love of science!) and all of t...
