About
Where to start? I’m Amanda. I’m 21 and I live in North Jersey. I’m moving to Vancouver Island in the very near future.
I love animals and currently have a guinea pig named Loki and a rabbit named Bella. Loki has his own Tumblr.
I’ve been an EMT-B for nearly 5 years and love it to death. I’m currently working on a two-year nursing degree at a community college, after which I plan on transferring somewhere so I can become an RN. I also want to become a medic and firefighter, and I plan on doing both as soon as my health allows. About that - I’m chronically ill. You’ll probably also see a lot of posts about that. I’m not going to write a novel about it on here, but it affects me every day. It’s something I’ve accepted and learned to live with even though it can be very taxing. I’m pretty open about it unless you start pitying me, in which case I’ll probably shut you out. I want to be seen as me, not as an illness.
I really don’t like people in general, which may seem odd as I’m in a healthcare profession. I like people that appreciate me. I tend to have a somewhat cynical view on life, simply because I’ve seen what people can do and my illness has made me realize that life will never be fair. And I’m okay with that. If I come off as avoidant, don’t take it personally. It takes a lot for me to trust anyone.
Other assorted crap? I play World of Warcraft. My main is a forsaken rogue and have one of each class. I’m slightly colourblind. If you ask me what colour something is, I will probably punch you through your computer screen. Despite my colourblindness I love to paint, mainly with acrylics. I’ve been playing guitar since I was 9. I’m German, Irish and Dutch and I’m proud of this. I like hockey. Jag talar svenska. I’ve had an amazing boyfriend for the past 4 years and he is my everything. I snowboard. I love the outdoors, especially in the heart of Vermont. I was raised on metal thanks to my aunt and I like pretty much every sub-genre of it, but melodeath wins my heart. I have a tattoo on my back that reads “In Flames We Trust” as a tribute to my all-time favorite band. I think “butts” is a hilarious word. And if there is a Hell, my sense of humour guarantees that I’m gonna have a mansion down there.
Yep, that’s me.
