TEE HEE
Hi folks! Welcome to my blog. My name is Amanda and I’d like to think I’m vaguely personable, though I’m sure some would be inclined to disagree (and very vocally so). I live in Northern California, work in the Bay Area, and am a rabid Beaver fan.
I love to cook and bake and all the myriad female things my gran-nonna taught me back when I was 5, but I’m a tomboy to the core. I am an unapologetic World of Warcraft player, and I’ve been known to spend hours perfecting my amusement park skills in the original Roller Coaster Tycoon. I dabble in candle making, soap making, and wine making. I’m terriffic at each one but I rarely share my endeavors because I enjoy my own shit wayyyyy too much. My cats are my kids but I’m not one of those “look at how awesome my cats are!” assholes. I’m a silent cat parent.
My long-term plans were to hit grad school and eventually go for my doctorate, but at the moment all my life plans are up in the air due to the unexpected addition of a long distance boyfriend and a job I am now stuck with for the time being. I’m thankful for both but can’t help being irritated and saddened by their untimely arrival sometimes. This makes for some cranky blog posts every now and again.
I’m learning to be a stepmom long before I will be married and legally so. It’s a lesson in patience and developing self-worth independent of my relationship and who I think people want me to be. Sure to bring some hilarity to the table on those long blog-boring days that pepper my life.
In my spare time, I like to write, study earthquakes and geology, drink wine, cook, garden, listen to music, blah blah blippity blah…
In other words…I’m your typical weird, self-absorbed blogger on the internet. Welcome to my domain.
