My Amanda thoughts
I remember that every time I saw her she'd run up to me and jump into a huge bear hug. I was always afraid I'd break her.
In LARP she played Carlotta Giovanni, the Head Necromancer to my fledgeling Necro Santino della Passaglia. As her Toreador Jezebel Talon, she made deals with my Toreador, Sidney Bowles, against her brother.
In the Cairo forum game, my first character Sebastieane Giovanni was Illeona's protector. And in LAbyFire she was George Porter's sire Johnathon Daugherty. I always had fun to her expense, when George would talk with Dannie and talk about what a pussy Johnathon was for running away.
I've been spending a lot of time posting on the boards, because honestly it's what Amanda did and did in her own unique way. I could walk away from the computer for a quick dinner and come back to a scene I'd been in with her and it would be 5 pages, because she found someone else who responded faster.
So in my own way, I've been posting on the forums, I've started new games and looked at old and I know that she'll always be with me with all her characters talking to me at once. Like the crazy chats we'd had since she'd moved away from LA.
I like everyone else will miss Amanda...
