Nicked from My dear friend Wyatt
You know how sometimes people on your friends list post about stuff going on in their lives, and all of a sudden you think "Wait a minute! Since when were they working THERE? Since when were they dating THAT PERSON? Since when?" And then you wonder how you could have missed all that seemingly pretty standard information, but somehow you feel too ashamed to ask for clarification because it seems like info you should already know? It happens to all of us sometimes.
Please copy the topics below, erase my answers and put yours in their place, and then post it in your journal! Please elaborate on the questions that would benefit from elaboration. One-word answers seldom help anyone out.
NAME:
Amanda
AGE:
27. the big three-oh is coming so fast I'm freaking out.
LOCATION:
Parma Heights, OH but you can call it Cleveland. Everyone else does.
OCCUPATION:
A restaurant that doesn't like it when you say you work for them online or else you get suspended and sometimes fired so I won't say it for fear of getting suspended or fired. But it's an easy job and I'm good at it and I'm making enough money to both survive and to save. I'm also supplementing my income by selling things on a little website http://Nerdytogether.etsy.com and with craft shows once in a while. If I can get my crafting to pick up maybe someday I'll be able to switch from full to part time at my restaurant.
PARTNER:
Kevin
KIDS:
NO. I'm not really interested in kids, but Kevin seems like he might want one. So maybe MAYBE one someday. But probably not for a few years.
BROTHERS/SISTERS:
I have a younger brother who is named Alex but I consistantly call him "Little Brother" (and when I still lived at home and we worked at the same place, many of my co-workers started calling him "Little Brother" also and that was kind of cool. XD He's still living at home.
PETS:
Hamster (Twiglette) died not too long ago, but a current co-worker happened to have a gerbil give birth at about the same time. We now have two gerbils named Crushinator (long tail) and Killbot (stub tail. We think he got in a fight with bros and sises as an itty bitty baby)
3 THINGS GOING ON IN MY LIFE:
1. Working
2. Knitting/Crocheting
3. Possibly House hunting. Though this has been on going for about 2 years. I would like to be a homeowner by the time I'm 31. And we also plan to get married at some point.
PARENTS:
Elva, Apolonio. Neither have middle names. Isn't that weird? They are very proud of me for not being like "the neighbor" who is going bankrupt, neglects his dog, divorced his wife, and has the worst housekeeping habits in the western hemisphere. The bar is set low and I'm walking normally and not even knowing it's there. Seriously.
CLOSE FRIENDS:
My best friend is my sweetie Kevin, clearly. But I'm also still close with Maggie whom I've known since 3rd grade. Jacob whom I met while working at the Jet Express years ago. I still consider myself close friends with Amy my roommate from Recording School who died from cancer the February before last. I miss her very much and we were quite close and I still think of her often. I try to keep tabs on a few friends from high school and when we occasionally get together we have a good time. I'm awesomely close with the cousins on my mom's side of the family and I love family get-togethers because i know I'll see them (usually ALL of them). And I have a nice handful of online friends that I feel care about me and what's going on in my life, and the ones who stand out the most of this group are Wyatt, Jesse, and Swifty.

I'm way more active on twitter though. http://twitter.com/NerdyTogether I tweet all the freaking time. :D
