My name is Amanda. I'm turning 20 very shortly. I'm short, 5'3", bleach blonde hair, from the sun, all natural. Hazel eyes, and a tan complextion. I love the outdoors, the sun and the wind. I work at a golf course and serve upper class men and women, who are somewhat snobby, alcohol. Therefore, I drive around a golf cart all day, rain or shine. Not a bad job. I also work events, which are fun, but I'm fairly new to the job. I have been teaching swimming lessons the previous four years, and got sick of the water. In the summer I also teach sailing lessons, with my best friend. Some would argue that we are still best friends, but we still have an everlasting bond that no one can understand except for us. We may not understand each other all the time or be there all the time for each other, as we have two different lives, but we still love and care about each other. I have a wonderful boyfriend who I've gone out with for just about a year now. Our relationship is very confusing. An uphill battle it seems at times, but he is the one that makes me the happiest. He is very understanding, honest, smart, funny, athletic, romatic, and always there for me. He puts up with me, and my nonsense. I love him very much, and one day I hope that he can see that too. Relationships are only what you make of them, and are only possibly if you are honest. I live in the country, with my parents and grandparents. We have a close family, which was nice growing up. I just bought my own car, and paid for my own work, which cost me too much money. I'm paying off my student loan, for which I used to go to Georgian College for Firefighting. Most people look at me, and cannot picture me as a firefighter, considering my small frame, and sex. But I am a determind person, and beleive that you can do whatever you motivate yourself for. I won a combat challenge last year at school and the fitness award. I like to think I'm smart, and funny, but my boyfriend tells me I'm not funny really at all, my sense of humor is usually cynical or lame, or just so stupid! lol. I love my family, even though we fight at times. My brother spends too much time on the internet, and since we have only dail up, makes it hard to anyone to get in touch with us. I love to workout, it keeps me sane. Some would say I'm addicted. I'm learning to cook, even though I burn my food most of the time, but I have the determination that I will beable to one day. My baking is better. Especially sweets, as I often have cravings for chocolate and cake. My dog is old, and we might have to put him down soon. My cat has attitude, and thinks he owns the house. I am shy at times, but can hold a conversation with a stranger. My personality can be outgoing at times, but I still notice it to be withdrawn. I like to drink, maybe too much, so I've made myself a promise that I would not drink for 6 months from mothers day. (May 14th). I will check back to this time to see how much I've changed and if I've kept my promise to myself. I also promised myself that I would not lie to anyone, I would be honest and always tell the truth. I will not cheat on anything or anyone. I will love my family and those who mean most to me. I will be understanding and treat others fairly. I will motivate myself and be strong inside. I feel that to be a strong person, one amazing quality is to be strong on the inside. And be independant.Not be clingly. I will not care about what others feel and just be me!

Well, as long as that seems, that is only the surface of what I think, beleive and care about. My stories are free spirited, and about anything and everything. They may just be views, opinions or things i need to get out at the time. So, enjoy...

Amanda
