So That's That


I never said I would post regularly on this blog.  Let’s just start off by saying that.
I have written a few entries, I just haven’t typed them out.  I type all day at work; cut me a little slack.
Anyway, I’m waiting for new music to load onto my iPod, so I thought I would say hi.  Hello.  I’m a high school graduate now.  It’s weird.  People keep asking me if I feel different, and I really don’t.  Should I?  I don’t know.  Vlog about that later. 
By the way, ohmygoshthankyou to everyone who said such nice things about “On Remembering To Be Awesome”.  I am really happy with how that vlog came out, and I’m glad others thought so.  Kym even tweeted it to the vlogbrothers.  It would be amazing if one of them watched it.  Future goal.
            I bought my first piece of furniture for my dorm today.  A teal floor rocker from Target.  I have sheets and towels in the same color.  Is it weird how excited I am to decorate my dorm room?  I love it.  I like that I will be able to just start completely fresh.  New room.  I get to decide what to put in it, and I won’t have to bring everything from home.
            I feel that way now.  I’ll be an emotional wreck when I have to decide what books to bring.
            That’s all I have to say for now.  I have to be up for work in less than seven hours.  Why do I always do this to myself?

I love you all.

Re-decorating for Finals

When I'm stressed (like I am right now for finals), I usually want to bake or make crafts.  From reading  Katie 's blog to de-stress, I've been dying to decorate my walls.  Unfortunately, my walls look like this: My roommate's walls, however, look like this: We've both been really stressed lately, so I wanted to do something that would make her smile.  I've had these magazines since I went home for Thanksgiving break, and I figured it was time to do something with them.  After about an hour of furious snipping, And pausing to sniff the perfume samples, I had a huge pile of scraps. But also, a huge pile of hearts!  I used sticky tack to stick the hearts to her wall, And made a pretty pattern! Now when she looks up from her bed, she'll have something pretty to look at and will remember how much I love her.  (:  I even had enough hearts left over to do the wall above my bed!  Now it'll always look like I'm dreaming of love. What do you do t

Oh, hi there!

I feel like a puppy is as good a way to start off a blog as any.  This is my dog, Thaddeus, at just a few months. Hello!  My name is Amanda, but if you're reading this blog, I've probably finally gotten around to making a video or a twitter post about it, and you probably already know that.  Whatever.  I like introducing myself.  I'm 17.  I'm not very good at blogging consistently. Lately, I've been thinking a lot, partially as a function of having graduation less than a month away.  I have some angst-y rants that I want to get through.  I also just occasionally have things I want to vlog about that I just don't have the time or capability to film, or I don't want to clog subscription boxes.  Also, there are some awesome people on here who need following, so... Is that what you call it on blogspot?  Following?   I don't know. I'm Amanda.  I like to take photographs.  I'm a bit mad.  I love new friends. Friends? DFTBA! ~Amanda P.S. My fir

The sign that says "Attractions" at the exit for my grandparents' house is blank, as if the state of NY can't imagine for the life of them what would attract anyone to the tiny town of Eastport, Long Island. There are no malls, no waterparks. I'm not sure I want anyone to know what should attract them here, honestly. If everyone knew about this place, a thousand tourists would trample the flower beds that my grandmother used to cultivate so she could sell bouquets out of her farm stand. They'd eat up all of the "Play Doh" ice cream at the Hershey's stand that also sells international phone cards. They'd buy all of the silly bracelets on main street. They'd dig up all the sand, catch all of the waves. Is it selfish, to keep this a secret? The attractions for me here abound; a raspberry, sweet as a promise, erupting on my tongue, a whisper through the fence from the boy next door, a game of Pooh sticks with my mother over the bridge dow
