(what do you have to say for yourself?)
Name:it_has_been
Bio:Hey.

Name's Amanda - I'm 16 and I live in, honest-to-God, the last place on earth where culture has arrived. Traditional, ho-punkity, corn-shucking, tractor-driving and cow-tipping Iowa. I know, pitty me.

I'm fairly artistic - or, at least I like to condsider myself that way. The world is full of colour, and I like to see expression of it; makes life a bit more interesting and I could use all the expression I can get here. I read, and like literature - books are my life, nearly as important as art and music. Without books, I'd never know what the perfect ending would be like and how to think between the lines.

I'm intellegent - and, gasp - have a 140 IQ as tested by MENSA. Yeah, beat that. :) (as you can see - I'm also a tad arrogant when it comes to that, wouldn't you be?) I hate intolerant people - and I hate people with TOO much tolerance. One's full of ignorance, and the other's full of shit.

My views on hot topics are the ones that allow the most freedom for all people - that means I'm a liberal libertarian. Get over yourself, Republican - and don't give us that crap about true liberalism being dead. Yeah, today's liberals are all weird and have lost touch with reality - but you have George W. Bush, that's more of a bullet to the brain than anything.

I like talking to people - when I have nothing better to do. My life currently has nothing important to which I can surround myself around - but that doesn't mean that it automatically means you have my full attention. Talk about interesting things that the both of us can relate too - that means, I do not want to hear about how you're boy/girlfriend is an asshole/bitch all of the time, because I don't have a boyfriend nor do I like hearing about the same thing over and over again. Weather is a great topic.

I've got Avoidant Personality Dissorder - which makes it harder for me to talk to people, but once I do - I tend to be fairly cool. But, even with APD - I'm not going to let you walk all over my ass - if you're a jerk, you'll know it because I'll shove your head up your ass. Have a problem with that - then try a smile once in a while. It works wonders. Note, I'll usually use sarcasm when speaking to you if I have a problem with you, it's just the way I am. I have a bad sense of humor and when in an ill mood, it comes out in a sardonic way.

I'm a writer - and no, I'm not the best in the world. I wish I was. But I'm not. But, like all aspiring folk, I'd like it if you kept your bashing comments to yourself and offered advice - the only way I'll stop being such a 'shit-awful writer' is if you tell me what I'm doing wrong. I like learning - it's my favourite pasttime, and being a student - in the fall till summer it's my fulltime job. Things that interest me can be found in my 'things that interest me' area. Although, that's not the full thing - seeing as I'm still learning about myself and what I like.

I have many dreams and aspirations, none of which I've achieved or will achieve - you can inquire about them, you'll just laugh. Example; I want to go to Tibet for a year, live with the Buddhist monks and nuns, and try to find my place in the world. Socializing is so over-rated. Unless it's with cool people, then it's a cause for trouble - but at least you won't be alone.

I'm not religious - I doubt the whole 'God' thing, mostly. At one point I believed in something - but, years of let downs and seeing the hate and pain in the world have lead be to believe that there is nothing out there and that we are all alone. Just as we started. Unless you're a twin, like me. But, just because I don't believe doesn't mean you can't - it also means, don't try to convert me. It will take a hell of a lot of evidence and corerciton to get me to believe in God again, and after reading the Bible - I doubt any of your tricks will work. You're welcome to try. I enjoy a good fight.

I hate my job - but I like my money. Yet another reason I won't be some incrediably cool zen master...

Three things you should know that are of some importance:

1) Cynical - don't expect to hear me turn a negative into a positive, you can only do that in mathematics and trashy-romance novels.

2) Open-Minded - I don't care what you are, it's who you are that matters.

3) Depressing - if you haven't already figured it out from my cynicism, boo for you.

I'm not sure whatelse I can tell you - I guess since you're on my list, you know me some-how.
