howdy.

Hey guys.

I'm Amanda and I just turned sixteen. Well, not really, I've been sixteen for over a month now but it doesn't feel like anything's really changed since then. It should have, had I been more diligent about getting my driver's training done and then I would have my license right now but I wasn't so I don't have it.

I live in Los Angeles County, California, which is really just a fancy way of saying the suburbs outside of Los Angeles. Aside from my job and school, my life is really, really boring. My job is kind of the coolest job a kid my age can have, though. Through the place where I take music lessons (I'm a bassist), I am in a cover band that will eventually go on to play parties but right now, we're just backing up singers for demos. It's pretty much my favorite thing about my life.

School's awesome too. I go to this crazy magnet high school that's really arts and technology focused, which basically means that there are no sports. At all, I'm serious. We don't have a football team and all the other schools in the district are jealous of our mad test scores.

I write short stories when I have the time and it's the only thing I'm really, really fantastic at. (Not to toot my own horn, now I sound conceited). I really want to get into Columbia College for, well, college because I want out of California's grossness, but that may change in a year.
