hi, i'm mandy. i love music. i grew up on clic rock and old country (i was named after the waylon jennings song, amanda), so i've always had a soft spot for these genres, but i like a little bit of everything, with the exception of r&b, most newer rap, new country, and clical. i wish i had an excuse to wear heels more often. my eyes, though blue, look more green because of the gold speck in them. i have two dachshunds whom i can't stay mad at, no matter how bad they're being. i actually enjoy school. i'm funny as hell. i also love: stars- the shape, not celebrities or the bright things in the sky. the color pink. marilyn monroe. glitter. sunshine. tattoos. texas hold 'em. useless knowledge. skip-bo. i'm currently in school (slooooowly) working my way towards a degree in nursing. i'm looking for both friends and a possible relationship. i'm not rushing into anything, as i've been burned several times in the past year or so, but would love to meet someone and see where it goes. you can learn a little more about me (though you have to be on my friends list to see the majority of my pictures) on myspace: http://www.myspace.com/ydnamtnediserp and now, the important stuff: 1. i am NOT looking for casual sex or cheap thrills. do NOT message me asking if i want to sleep with you- i don't. 2. i am NOT looking to get involved with someone that's a gazillion miles away. while i suppose there's always the possibility i may meet "the one" while he's living across country or several states away, the thought doesn't thrill me and you must be incredibly amazing for me to even consider it! 3. i want children one day. if you don't, i'm sorry, but that's an absolute deal-breaker. i will not change my mind, just as i'm sure you won't. same thing goes with dogs. i have never not had one, and don't ever intend to ever change that. i adore my dogs- if you don't like that, i'm sorry, but i can't become involved with you. 4. i have a weakness for southern accents and blue eyes. seriously. 5. bonus points if you can form a sentence and don't say things like "u" instead of "you," "2" instead of "too," etc...and i may want to marry you if you know the difference between "your" and "you're"!!
