About Me

My name is Amanda, some know me as Mandie, but I will not answer to it now that I'm all grown up... Unless,of course you've always called me that. I have four kids, all of them are awesome... My youngest is Luke, who has Down Syndrome. Wouldn't mention it if it weren't something you might hear me talking about. Much too laid back to let a little thing like Down Syndrome affect our lives... In other words, don't feel sorry for us. ;) And NOOOO I don't want to know how shocked people are that I have so many kids! I like them! I am self employed, owning derilect real-estate properties, as well as a brick and morter music store- which will hopefully make my pockets a little deeper with a divorce settlement! HAHA! Depends on the day, I guess. I currently teach Kindermusik in Fenton,MO once a week,and am a ertified Music Therapist-FINALLY! Thanks to Webster University. Obviously, LOVE,LOVE,LOVE music- It's a passion of mine and of my family that came before me. I have a great big sister who is currently living in Italy with her great family... (Go US Navy), and two awesome little brothers. My Mother is one of my dearest friends, although I blame her for my own oddities.LOL

My Interests

Music, Art, Bookworm, Politics, Disease (the study of)(lol), and esoteric subjects- Really into World religion, with emphasis on The Occult(and no, not so I can drink blood and turn hexes, it's an interest, honestly), Secret Societies, Science, and anything that makes me think.

I'd like to meet:

Friends that I haven't met face to face... Family I haven't seen in ages, people I admire such as certain authors, musicians that have influenced my life, and anyone who is smart...

Music:

In my car right now.... Fleetwood Mac, Rumors. (BEST album EVER) Stevie Nicks:The Wild Heart, Tom Petty, Annie Lenox, NIN, and JJ Cale. Doesn't mean they are my favorites, but there's no way for someone who does this for a living to pick a favorite.

Movies:

Sitting next to my DVD player right now, and again, doesn't mean they are my favorites... Halloween Town, Scooby Doo:Pirate's Ahoy, SharkBoy and Lava Girl- Hey, the kids are the majority, right?

Television:

I'm way too smart for TV. TV, to me, is like Ice Cream, a treat... When I do watch, I admit to being an Idol junkie, and I honestly,truly, enjoy PBS and The History Channel.

Books:

I am reading "The Essential Golden Dawn."

Heroes:

My Lukester, and kids like him who show us adults just how much we suck and don't try... Kids who face a rough time and overcome and retain their innocence, AWESOME... Generic but of course, Our Armed Services... God bless my BIL Nathan,who serves in the Navy, and my nephew TJ who serves in the Marines...

My Blog

Pissing on my childhood with bad movies.

Slight Rocky 6 spoliers....If anyone actually cares... Ok. So I know, that most people think the Rocky movies are stupid. And you know what? I don't care. I admit to being smart, however that may make...

Seriously.

I think I'm gonna' drop the humor on this one and just ramble. I think my spirits are low, so what can I do? I was thinking about my son Luke. I took the kids to my good friend Rachel's baby shower o...

Oh Crickey!

What can I say? When legends die, there are always fans who want to exclaim "But I loved him more!" Those are not my intentions, but I have to tell you all that the world truly lost an amazing person ...
