on the road again

I wanna walk to the beat of my own drum.

About Me

Alias's: Amanda, Mandie, Boston, Rita, Wikid, Brains, Pinky.I like to hang out in Borders for hours because I can't afford to actually buy anything. I beleive in ghosts and haunted houses and spirits and orbs. I'm fasinated by the lost Atlantis. I'm into murder mystery especially unsolved cases. I like pirates and burried treasue and lost artifacts and mermaids. I'm really interested in learning about ancient civilizations like China, Egypt, Greece, India, Aztec, Celts, etc. but I have a horrible memory. I'm an adrenylin junkie. I always need a fix of fast cars or rollercoasters or skydiving or something. I want to learn as many languages as I can. I like spicy food so hot it makes your eyes water. I wish I lived in ancient Greece, because I'd be the first female philosopher. I pride myself on being somewhat of a rebel. I like to question authority and challenge the system. I like to drive without a license. I want to get a street bike. I like to be the first one to do something new. I hate trends. I'm attracted to things that stand out, not in a sparkly in your face kind of way, just things that are out of the ordinary. I can't cook. I'm a scatter brain but an organization junkie. I try to go to the batting cages as often as possible so I don't beat up anybody. I like to make clothes. I don't like pictures if I'm not in them. I'm envious if it's beautiful without me. I'm vain. I'm fickle. I don't believe marriage substantiates a relationship. I can sometimes come off as a bitch. I'm really not, but I don't care if you think so. If you can let yourself be intimidated by me, we probably won't get along. I don't sympathize with stupidity. I'll never pretend to like you. If I don't you'll know. But if your on my good side, chances are you mean the world to me. I'll forgive but I'll never forget. I love to travel and brag about where I've been. So far to date; Czeck Repblic, Germany, Poland, Austria, Greece, Switzerland, Spain, Italy, and France.People either love me or hate me, there's never happy medium. Those who love me, love me for the fact that I give myself fully to those that I love. I will do anything for my friends and family, whether they just need someone to talk to or the shirt off my back, they know that what is mine, is theirs. People hate me because I dare to do what they are to scared to do to make themselves happy. Instead of letting life pass me buy and holding myself back due to the fear of hurting others' emotions I do what I feel is necessary to succeed and this upsets people. At least I try to do it with some finess. Some people feel threatened by me or are jealous for various reasons and like to make themselves feel better by labeling me. These things make me smile. We are not all saints, and we know this. Get over yourself.I spend money like it dosent matter. I wait till the last minute to do everything. I have no patience for people who make themselves victims. I try not to take anything too seriously. I love being me.

My Interests

"A wise girl kisses but doesn't love, listens but doesn't believe, and leaves before she is left." - Marilyn Monroe

I'd like to meet:

Artists, musicians, photographers, models, dancers, poets, writers, stangers, performers, hippies, gypsies, and any free thinking soul that might I find interesting.I want to find the kind of friends you keep for a lifetime. The kind that give as much as they take, but no one ever keeps track. I want to collect places to call home and family. I want to do something different everyday and take a picture of every second.I want to go to hell in a fast car!

Music:

I love everything from rock to rap to techno to oldies. My family is very musical. I've grown up with so many musical influences. My grandfather is in an old dixie jazz band, my Dad is in a reggae band, I'm into musical theatre so I know every corny show tune known to man, I'm always at the club and I love anything that moves my body, and I'm aways looking for new kinds of music to get into. In my opinion that's the only way to appreciate music. Music in general has so many influences. Each genre came from something else. It's all just evloving sound.

YOU KNOW YOUR FROM MASSACHUSETTS WHEN... The person driving in front of you is going 70 mph and you are cursing him for going too slow. You actually enjoy driving around rotaries.

You know how to pronounce the names of towns like Worcester, Billerica, Haverhill, Barre and Cotuit. You have driven to New Hampshire on a Sunday in order to get beer. You know that there are two Bulger brothers, and that they're both crooks. You know what they sell at a packie. You know at least one bar where you can get something to drink after last call. You can actually find your way around Boston. Evacuation Day is a recognized holiday. You know what First Night is. You know at least one guy named Sean, Sully, Pat, Whitey, Red, Bud or Seamus. You think the rest of the country owes you for Thanksgiving and Independence Day. You have never been to Cheers. When the words 'WICKED' and 'GOOD' go together.

You see people like Steven Tyler (Aerosmith), Dicky Barret (The Mighty, Mighty Bosstones), and Evan Dando (The Lemonheads) in the local supermarket and it doesn't phase you. You've slammed on your brakes to deter a tailgater. Know at least three Tony's, one Vinnie and a Frank(ie) Paranoia sets in if you can't see a Dunkin Donuts, ATM or CVS within eyeshot at all times. You keep an ice scraper and can of de-icer on the floor of your car...year round. You still try to order curly fries from Burger King. You order iced coffee in January. You know what candlepin bowling is. You drive 45 minutes to New Hampshire to save $5 in sales tax. You've pulled out of a side street and used your car to block oncoming traffic so you can make a left. You've bragged about the money you've saved at The Christmas Tree Shop. You know what a "regular" coffee is. You actually get these jokes and pass them on to other friends from Massachusetts.

Heroes:

I try to be my own hero. I never want to emulate someone else and compare what I've done to them. I want to be proud of myself. I set a lot of goals for myself and always challenge myself to learn more.
