Hey! I'm one of the weirdest people you may ever meet! LOL! I'm extremely random... I like anime & manga, reading fantasy, thrillers, and romance novels, pigging out, running, being short, making AMVs, and other random things... I'm tired of typing right now so I'm going to stop... no really, I am... don't look at me like your momma don't feed you! she says as she steps into the shadows

A few things to note about me...

I'm sort of a closet emo. I write a lot of emonic (my word for things that are emo) poetry. But in life I like to sing, joke around, laugh, pick on Neassa, and just have fun. (And no, I do NOT cut myself!)

I like food. A LOT.

I like to collect quotes and post them randomly on my profile.

I'm just flat out SEXY! :snorts: (In my dreams!)

And I can't decide on a profile pic. Help?

Name: Mandy

Age: 17

GENDER: I AM A GIRL! I thought that I wouldn't have to clarify this, but I seriously had someone ask me if I was a guy or a girl. Does anyone know a GUY named MANDY? If you do, please let me know so I can point and laugh at them. jk!

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you like KH then read 'You Never Know What Will Happen' by Neassa and 'Perhaps I'm Not Who I Thought I Was' by Yargy the Pirate Queen.

ANOTHER IMPORTANT NOTE: If you like Final Fantasy X (and played the WHOLE game) then you should read 'Soldier of Spira' by rr1963. OR 'Memento Vivere' by Enkida.

You should SO check out starry34 because they are just plain AWESOME!

(And yes, I AM having too much fun with all the pretty links!)

RANDOM FACTS ABOUT ME:
