Mandy

I'm just your average Southern girl pretty much. I'm really close to my family, I have the best group of friends in the world, and I even like my job.. usually. I have two long-haired chihuahuas, Cami and Kirby. I hate cats. I wish people were nicer. I get pretty irate with stupid people, especially in traffic. I'm really smart, but I still believe that I need every product I see in infomercials.. and I have a genuine fear of zombies and spiders. I have a very addictive personality, but it's usually limited to harmless things like lip gloss, shoes, eyeshadow, bath products, and ringtones.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"You must be the change you want to see in the world." - Mahatma Gandhi ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"You must not lose faith in humanity. Humanity is an ocean; if a few drops of the ocean are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty." -Mahatma Gandhi~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"I have found the paradox that if I love until it hurts, then there is no hurt, but only more love." - Mother Teresa ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"Let no one ever come to you without leaving better and happier." - Mother Teresa ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"We can do no great things; only small things with great love." - Mother Teresa ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"If you can't feed a hundred people, then feed just one." - Mother Teresa (www.feedthechildren.org/ - who can't spare $8 a month??) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter." - Martin Luther King Jr. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands in times of challenge and controversy." - Martin Luther King Jr. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." - Hebrew 11:1 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails." - 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"Never argue with stupid people. They'll drag you down to their level and beat you with experience." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"The course of true love never did run smooth." -Shakespeare ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"We make a living by what we get, we make a life by what we give." -Sir Winston Churchill ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"Never, never, never believe any war will be smooth and easy, or that anyone who embarks on the strange voyage can measure the tides and hurricanes he will encounter. The statesman who yields to war fever must realize that once the signal is given, he is no longer the master of policy but the slave of unforeseeable and uncontrollable events." -Sir Winston Churchill ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"I do not want people to be agreeable, as it saves me the trouble of liking them." -Jane Austen ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"Oh! Do not attack me with your watch. A watch is always too fast or too slow. I cannot be dictated to by a watch." -Jane Austen, Mansfield Park ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"I would rather have three minutes of wonderful than a lifetime of nothing special." -Shelbie, Steel Magnolias ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"Pink is my signature color." - Shelbie, Steel Magnolias ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"The only thing that separates us from the animals is our ability to accessorize." -Clairee, Steel Magnolias ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"I have a strict policy that nobody cries alone in my presence." -Truvy, Steel Magnolias ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"Well, I really do love football. But it's hard to parlay that into a reason to live." -Clairee, Steel Magnolias ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"Don't try to get on my good side. I no longer have one." -Weezer, Steel Magnolias
