About Me



Hello fellow MySpacers: I'm Amanda. I live in and love West Philadelphia (the best Philadelpia). I'm a nerdy chick with a BA in English. I wish I looked good in pleated skirts and cateye glasses. I think campy people are funny. I like to sing and dance. I want a Victorian house and a PhD. If I had the money, I'd be a career student. Since I don't, I work in education. I smell old books. Often. I think pocket protectors are awesome. I get fan-girly over Mythbusters and Dr. Who. I love my best friends and my cats. I love campfires, marshmallows, and laying in grass. I aspire to age gracefully and wear wacky reading glasses.
