Hi, I'm Amanda.



   I'm probably not all that mundane, but nonetheless, here I am!


  The likes:
  Attending concerts, mostly acoustic, alternative rock, folk, and country shows.
  My four favorite music acts I'd do pretty much anything for: Colin Hay, Vertical Horizon, Fastball and Gin Blossoms.
  Thank-you and just-because cards.
  The Chicago Cubs.
  Alan Rickman.
  Finding a healthy lifestyle via jogging, natural foods, and practicing yoga.
  Various types of films and a podcast covering the industry, Soapbox Office.
  Books, mainly biographical and realistic, modern novels.
  Self-expression through writing, photography, graphic design, and tattoos.
  Coffee. Everyday. All day.

  The dislikes:
  Non-constructive criticism on the arts, current events, people... anything.
  Hip-hop and rap.
  Politics.
  Celebrity gossip.
  Frogs. Anything that looks similar to a frog.
  Not having a faster, more-affordable mode of transportation to getting to my family faster.

  Blog goals for you:
  Learn from my mistakes.
  Laugh at my terrible jokes.
  Discover new movies, books, musicians, places to visit...
  To be a positive distraction if you need it.
