hi im amanda.
i want to go to art school, but [that's not happening] for a variety of reasons beyond my control.
law school instead .... yyyyeah, yay. =\
other than art class, i absolutely hat[ed] my [high] school. and IB.
i liv[ed] in seattle, i love it [there].
i love the rain
... probably because i'm the hopeless romantic type.
i really really really really want to go to europe.
london in particular. and iceland.
i'm convinced i was born on the wrong continent.
painting is fun. best way to waste time.
i picked up a guitar 4 years ago.
im still playing.
music keeps me somewhat sane.

booze is fun.
i love swings.
and morning glories. and birds.
star gazing on eden's roof is the best thing ever.
i miss being called wendy. ilym. ♥
i'm going places.
im the kind of person that puts a song on repeat for hours,
and then sings along for a few more.
im looking for my own edward cullen. let me know if you find him.
yyyyup ... that's about it.
