Name: Amanda
Birthday: 4/12/1991
Gender: Female


Interests: I am interested in God, first of all.Serving him with everything in me and using my gifts I believe He's given me to glorify Him and bless others. I love my friends and spending time with them, but then again, who doesn't? I love music, writing, American History, Starbucks, quiet rainy days, singing, (that kinda goes with music I guess) and I am fascinated with debate, photography, Narnia/Neverland and England. I plan on going there someday. (England that is, not Narnia/Neverland) I love most any kind of reading also. Mystery, fantasy, romance, action... Walks through the woods, Oh and I plan on taking over the world, so I guess that's an interest for ya too. ;-)
Expertise: I'm pretty good at making a complete fool out of myself sometimes, tripping over absolutely nothing, babysitting, making people laugh, (sometimes not intentionally) singing, playing piano, writing, acting, taking charge when the situation requires it.
Occupation: Student/piano teacher
Industry: huh??

Allrighty then...

Important Announcement

After giving the matter much thought, I've decided to get a new xanga. I've grown quite accustomed to Forever_Sparkly_DramaQueen as I'm sure you all have, but I've, shall we say, outgrown it. It's just not who I am anymore.  (while I still am rather dramatic when I want to be, I am not a drama queen anymore, and was getting quite sick of my username.) I made a new site, and would most appreciate it if you go here, subscribe, help me "get started" and all that jazz... It's no coincidence that my new name matches dearest Katy's, and let me tell you.... it took a while to think of a new name! Gosh... when I first decided to I was like.. "oh this will be a breeze" It wasn't.  She actually get's credit for helping me think of a new name. Thanks dollface.

So I will see you all over there!

While you're not the brightest in school, you're still smart in other ways and are very creative.

If you scored mostly C's then you're Grace! Very bubbely and positive, people describe you as scatter brained sometimes but you are very loved.
 
If you scored mostly D's, then you're Paul! The family's weird one, you're always there with a corny joke and you come off as annoying most of the time. But hey. If you get a nail shot onto your head, everyone's praying at the snap of fingers. They can't live with you but they can't live without you.
 
If you scored mostly E's, then you're Julie! Strong willed and independant you are somewhat bossy but nevertheless pretty laid back. You enjoy goofing around and talking.

 

 EDIT

Well folks, I've been doing some thinking as of late. And I decided I'm sick of my username currently. I love my site and I've worked hard to get it where it is today, however I've discovered username's are unchangeable. Therefor I have a question to ask y'all.

Would you be up for me having a new site? I don't like switching xanga's (it's such a bother getting everyone to subscribe to the new one.) Which is why I'm asking y'all now and giving you a heads up that I'm wanting to. But if I get a completely negative response telling me the world would end if I got a new one then I shan't be moving. If I get the okay then y'all will be given a link shortly. And I wouldn't delete this site or anything because I have some posts I don't want to lose, my problem is the whole Forever_Sparkly_DramaQueen thing...

Please be so kind as to let me know post haste.

The Royal CHRISTmas lesson- Amanda Adkisson

She rushed out of her palace, annoyed and mad
“Why must my brother be so bothersome?”
she said
“It’s Christmastime and all around you see
Peace and goodwill, joyous times, these be.”
This Princess you see, was quite upset.
For her brother had just gotten her gown all wet.

“Why does it seem he enjoys being mean?”
Then she heard “I make him clean.”
“But he’s so contrary and disgusting!”
she cried
“He’s my child and I make him pure. ‘Twas for him I died.”

She walked to the royal stable, and there they were
Goats, chickens, cows and sheep with snow stuck to their fur.
“Why must they be so nasty and dirty?”
Then she heard
“I created them and love them. They’re worthy.”
“But they smell and they’re dumb.”
She sighed
“In a stable long ago they watched as in a manger I lie.
They were good enough for the birth of a King,
And all around them angels would sing.”

“Don’t you understand my child? Look around and see
At the time of my birth, this glory and majesty!”

The princess then smiled and skipped to her room
But upon arriving there, her mother had bad news.
“Your sister will not come to the Christmas feast.”
The princess was shocked and hurt, to say the least.
“Why must she be this way?”
She shook her head sadly.
“I have a plan, and you must trust me though you feel badly.”
“But she’s careless and foolish!”
she sobbed
“I’ve had her in my arms for a very long time and she is loved.”

“Me dear daughter, this Christmas and always
Know and remember your ways and not My ways.
When I came down to earth to save, it wasn’t just for the ones who behave.
I was born in a stable full of hay
Where the chickens clucked, cows mooed, and horses neighed.
I came for all, the meek and the bold
The ones with no money and the ones with the gold
I love them all, and when they ask, I’ll forgive
So forever with Me-- they may live
Merry CHRISTmas, My princess, and remember this is true
The joy of CHRISTmas is always in you.

EDIT

Bare with me as far as my profile picture goes please. I'm trying to find one I like.

And also I failed to mention earlier that I have started my own little blogring. It was actually inspired by a conversation between Erin and I that went something like

Erin- You know that blogring "Death to Susan Pevensie" ?
Amanda- yeah? Isn't it cool?
Erin- Yeah! I want to join!
Amanda- I do too! But they kind of made it a boys only thing...
Erin- If you join I'll join!
Amanda- All right!
a few days later
Erin- You know  I was thinking, we could start our own.
Amanda- Hmm. You're right! We should!

So that's what happened. If you wanted to join the boys blogring but didn't want to because you were a girl then we have the one for you!

 

 EDIT #2

I was given permission to post some cute pictures.

Eden was covering her eyes on our walk because it was veeeeeryyyy bright on Sunday

Cactus looks very cool doesn't it?

cute

And we went on a walk where I got a very nice photo of the group that went down there.

See?

But as you can see, that is not the photo. That is the second photo I took after the first brillinat one I took got deleted. *takes a moment to glare at Paul and requests you guys to do the same*

Heres me and Emmy

Splendiferous

Is the only word to describe my weekend.

Yes, I do have soar feet, and Yes, I am very tired, but if I wasn't tired that would mean I didn't have a good time, no?

Things that happened for instance

 

-I got up and 5:30 am and made cinnamon rolls

- My dad drove 120 miles out of the way on our way to Conroe because he was distracted by this really annoying, noisy, hyper girl in the back (middle?) seat. *But more on my dad later.

- I rode over an hour in a hoop skirt because we were running late when leaving the Franklin's house so I had to dress before we left.

-I got sleep on Saturday night. (amazing isn't it?)

- Many of my friends got to meet my dear Rufus in person! He (as far as I know) was affectionately welcomed. He was popular. He was loved. He was cherished. He was simply charming in all his... um.... er.... Rufus-ness.

- I... *sigh* did eventually hit Happy Hour on the way home... we left church about.. oh I don't know... 3? 2:30? and I like totally fell asleep at 3:30 for about an hour. When I woke up it was about 4:45ish.*My first wrong move*. And so to wake myself up, I got a coke. *Second wrong move*. Then I decided to drink it. *Third and final wrong move* that launched your sparkly drama queen into Happy Hour.... Poor Kieran and Erin... It was one of my more, shall we say, "happy" Happy Hours.

Now back to my daddy, I'm going to make a Xangarific Congratulations to my awesome Dad. He not only put up with driving alot this weekend, but he bought me my pink dress, he put up with me talking nonstop about my weekend and he also put up with Happy Hour along with everyone else in the car.

Now, I am very very content. And a bit sad... but that's how it goes I suppose. (oh darn... I really didn't mean for that to rhyme. Please disreguard the rhyming thing that just happened there.)

However I am having to diligently get back to working and practicing etc. This week's two big events are on Thursday and Friday...

Thursday night is my piano rercital *squeals* for which I have been practicing all day it seems because I missed 3 days of practicing. Oh but trust me, it was worth it.

and on Friday afternoon I'm going to the retirement home to give away cookies/ give a program for them with some friends. Friday night is the HCC CHRISTmas program at the Smith's!  *squeals again* My... I really had better stop this squealing... my mom is looking at me funny.... *sits quietly and smiles very wide*

 I hope Y'all have a fantastical weekend. Ta for now!

~Amanda

EDIT

Since Y'all have been asking for pictures I decided to stop e-mailing etc. and post some okay?
