A large percentage of the world calls me Amanda. A slightly smaller percentage leaves the “uh” sound off and calls me Manda (which I prefer). And thank God no one calls me Mandy. My mom was originally going to name me Lacy Lanette but the nurse handed me to her and proclaimed “Here’s your little Amanda Sue!” To which my mom refused delivery and stated “That’s not my daughter!” Seems that my dad decided to name me Amanda Sue when he first seen me without consulting my mom. He said I looked like an Amanda. That name was never brought up in their discussions of baby names and to this day my mom will go off on a rant about it if asked.

I am clumsy, goofy, moody, sarcastic, unusual, opinionated, maybe a little more mentally unstable then I should be and defiantly stubborn.

I am a female. I have always been a female and generally like the idea of being a girl and do not plan on changing this at any point. I do have a male counterpart named Mike. It surprises people when they find out that Mike I and have know each other since I was 5 and he was 6. We ruffled more then a few feathers when we began dating in high school (January 1996). We tied the knot, took the plunge, walked down the aisle on December 8, 2001.

We have a beautiful, intelligent, creative little lady named Raven Jane who has a combination of her mother’s smart ass mouthy-ness and her father’s goofy-ness. If you know Mike and I well you will see she takes after both of us.

The three of us live together in a small town with the best damn german shepherd you will ever meet named London, pain in the ass cat named Jedi and chilean rose hair tarantula named Spooky Lucius (Spooky died towards the end of May 2007).

I was born and raised in West Virginia but lived in Ohio for 6 years (from the age of 9 to 15), and I have decided that West Virginia is indeed a nice place to live. Like most West Virginians, I am not a liberal. I lean way more to the right of the political scale and fall somewhere between a Conservative Republican and a South Park Republican. Jesus is proudly my savior though I have friends from all religious backgrounds and walks of life and never push my beliefs onto anyone.

I have been told on more then one occasion that I have an old soul and that I was born in the wrong era. I have always acted older then my age and am more reserve around people that don’t know me very well. My close friends and family see the true me, whether that’s a good or bad thing I don’t know.

I was an only child until my parents got divorced and my dad married my now evil step-mother, whom I love, who all ready had 3 boys. So I have acquired 3 step-brothers who are as much of a pain in the ass as biological brothers.

I have an obsession, that I do not want cured, with Horror Movies, Ewan McGregor and Bruce Campbell. People tell me that I have seen way too many movies. I have a love for the paranormal and have been studying it, with a main focus on ghosts, since I was 11 years old. I love retro and vintage things and it is starting to show in our home. I take my camera with me just about every where I go and have been threatened to have it shoved up my bum more then a time or two. I have a collection of celebrity autographs and I am also trying to learn Japanese.
