UPDATE!

Okay, so please don't try and kill me for updating The Phoenix Key before I've updated I Am. I know it's terrible of me, but oh well. I am planning on continuing it. I love this story, it's my baby, and I'm Oh-so-proud of it. And besides all of you love it. So, now that Michael Phelps has become the greatest athlete EVER, and doesn't have any more races I might actually be able to work on it. However, I have a second job now. So, I know this week: Monday, Tuesday, and Friday are completely out of the question. So in between now and my free days I'll try to do what I can. If you feel like it, please send me some encouraging PMs or something!

If you would like to know about my life, and my story, please feel free to check out my blog! It's been a while since I updated it, but I'm planning an update sometime soon. You'll also be able to see pictures of my friends and family as well as my baby neice, and you'll be able to get to know ME a little better! So, I'm gonna post the link and you guys go check it out.

Name: Amanda (better known as Ami)

Age: 21 and past half-way to being 22.

Location: Somewhere in Alabama, and NO there are no banjos here...

Other Accounts: Sinful Harlequin - this is an account i set up with Roma, (a.k.a.- Sinful Rapture). We've got one story up. At the current point in time there is only one chapter, but, with the onslought of reviews, it is sure to continue very soon. I know ppl want to kill me for starting this before i move on with "I Am", but i need a break. I needed something new to work on to help inspire me to work on the old. Who knows maybe it'll work. Anywho! Go check out our story, it's called "The Phoenix Key" and is set post DH, about 6 or 7 years, or something like that, lol. OF course, it's not exactly canon, but with the way that book eneded how can it be canon? It's a G/B/D, (I've had a major affinity with those lately), and is proving to be VERY kick ass!

Story on Other Account: "The Phoenix Key"- I have just uploaded chapter 3!! So, GO CHECK IT OUT AND LEAVE US LOVELY REVIEWS!!

What I do: NOTHING! lol, no, actually I work like a damn dog every day, lol. I love my job. I work at a cafe, and have super mucho amounts of fun doing it! I also have a second job now, so yeah. Work, it's about all I do.

Passion: WRITING, well, there's that, and reading, music, cooking, the very cliched "Hanging out with friends". I'm just your average human woman, who has no life but work!

About Me:

Well, there's not much to say about me. I. Am. ME. Though, in order to figure this out, i did actually have to stop going with the flow, and swim against it. I finally think i know who i am now. It's a great feeling, at leat i think it is! Anywho, Most of my shit is already up top. But for those of you who would like to know a wee bit more; I am 21 years old, i live at home with my father (and oh god this is soooo cliche) i live in his basement. NOW, for the surprise...HE'S GAY! And i mean that quite literally. His boyfriend lives with us. But, it's so totaly effin cool. Todd rocks! I have no boyfriend, and am actually happy with that. Who needs a boyfriend when you get to dabble in all the wonderful-ness that is fanfiction?! Okay, so yeah, i'm bored with this now, lol.

Small Update:

"I Am"- CHAPTER 21 IS IN PROGRESS!! Approximately 5 pages in. No, contrary to popular belief, I have NOT given up on this story. As I stated up top, I now have a second job, and so my passions are having to take a backseat in favor of two paychecks. I am not abandoning it. I love it too much to do that. And I love you all too much to do that. And, I have finally gotten over my writers block and have found a KILLER plot for it, which I'm totally excited about. So, Just be on the look-out for updates to my profile, or just look for an update on the story.

"Swallow My Pride"- Again, i know you'd like to kill me, but i'm thinking i'm going to have to put this on hold, considering i just started writing this story one day and had no direction to take it in. Seriously, you guys are lucky you got 3 chapters. I don't know where they hell they came from! So, unless someone gets me some awesome ideas for it...i've absolutely no idea where to take it!

"Blink" - Well, this one is soooooooo not turning out like i want it to. I have a plot written out for it. I've had the plot written out for a couple of years. But between work, family, and working on other writings, this just kind of got put on the back burner. Maybe if i can find the inspiration i need, i'll pick it back up again. I just need Inspiration. Wish i could go buy it...damn...
