"Pick-Up" (Or Scare-Off) Lines

Since I won't have a lot of time at my computer tomorrow, here's some pick-up lines in honor of Valentine's Day.

~♥~

Are you a parking ticket? Because you've got 'fine' written all over you!

I've got my library card, and I'm checking you out.

Are you a magnet? Because I'm attracted to you.

Do you believe in love in first sight? Or do I have to walk by you again?

Do you have a Band-Aid? I scraped my knee falling for you.

Are you the reason for global warming? Because, baby, you're hot!

Are your legs tired? Because you've been running through my mind all day.

Movies, Music, and More (Oh My!)

Upcoming/current movies I want to see:

Confessions of a Shopaholic
Jonas Brothers: The 3D Concert Experience
17 Again

And... yes, I admit it. I want to see Hannah Montana: The Movie.

Someone asked me, "What's your favorite song?" I have to admit, I cannot choose just one.
So, I made a list of songs I enjoy listening to, in no particular order:

Crush - David Archuleta
You Belong With Me - Taylor Swift
Forever and Always - Taylor Swift
Got Me Going Crazy - Jonas Brothers
When Did Your Heart Go Missing - Rooney
I Should've Been After You - Rooney
She's A Lady - Forever The Sickest Kids
Dear Maria, Count Me In - All Time Low
Viva La Vida - Coldplay
Trainwreck - Demi Lovato
Don't Forget - Demi Lovato
I'm Yours - Jason Mraz
I Kissed A Girl - Katy Perry
Seventeen Forever - Metrostation

I love reading. Every two or three weeks, I make a list of books I'd like to read and head on over to the library.
My recent favorites:

Lock and Key by Sarah Dessen
Jellicoe Road by Melinda Marchetta
Just Listen by Sarah Dessen

Feb 14th: SAD aka Single Awareness Day

What's the purpose of Valentine's Day? Perhaps to...

1) Boost chocolate/flowers/greeting cards sales.
2) Make single people feel like they're alone and worthless.

Or maybe it's a day to take the time to same, "Hey, I love you!" to that special someone?
Oh, well. In my personal opinion, I'm too young to know the true meaning of love.
To me, Valentine's Day is just another day.

**Edit: Ok, I admit. I have a Valentine.**

Curiousity Killed Amanda

Why do we love pets? A furry little thing, jumping into our laps at the end of the day. Whether it be a dog (perhaps too large to jump into your lap) or a cat, or perhaps a bird in the cage by the window, a pet makes everything better.

Cats. Four legs, a tail, a wet nose. Those wide, curious eyes.

Sometimes, my day is immediately bright when I am awakened by a lump, laying on my chest, purring in my ear, rubbing a wet nose and whiskers over my cheek. Yes, Thaddeus, my adorably lovable cat.

I have another cat, Elliot, whom I adopted after seeing a boy holding him outside of Publix. You see, Elliot is still very much a kitten. A hyper, rambunctious kitten, who likes to bite and claw.

Even though I am often covered in scratches, I still love my cats. Why? I have no idea.

Dogs. I also have a dog- a beagle/black lab mix that I adopted from the pound when she was just four weeks old. She goes by the name of Lady.

Gerbils. I have two gerbils, as well. Lola and Laci.

One of me and my dad's hobbies is our fish tank. It's a simple ten gallon tank, sitting by the front door, with a freshwater set-up.

These aren't all of my pets; the family has three birds, as well as another cat (an indoor/outdoor stray named Fritz).

Still, I can't help but wonder. Why is their such joy hearing your cat purr? Feeling your dog curled up by your feet? Seeing your gerbils chew up a toilet paper tube, or your fish swimming about? Your birds enjoying the sun by the back window?

Introduction to Blogging

My name is Amanda- though I prefer Mandy- but if you're reading this blog, you probably already knew that.

I've been wanting to blog for a while, but never got around to it. The credit for this blog belongs to my friend, Ryan, for asking me if I had a blog, since I "seem like a 'bloggy' person."

Hmm. The word "blog" seems to pop up a lot while blogging, doesn't it? Maybe it's just me. Maybe I just like the word. Still, I shall try to refrain from excessively using the word in the future.

Basically, in future posts, I'll be writing about whatever I feel like. The posts will be my true thoughts about random subjects.
