About Me

i am 26 years old and i still like punk rock way too much.
i have a boyfriend, mitch, he draws comics about the band jawbreaker. he also thinks everything i do is cute, so that's kind of a plus for me.

i like comic books, regular books, music, and i am earning a degree in what is essentially a useless hobby.

my life is sort of like that book, A Farewell to Arms, only without the booze, or the war, or the naughty bits.

fuck, my life is nothing like A Farewell to Arms.

i make comics, and do artwork and flyers for bands. i also do other things for other people. i'll draw stuff if you ask me nice.

also, i have an art blog over at http://nationofamanda.livejournal.com that i update when i remember.
