Things I Am Not

To the external world that may be interested in this bright mind of mine, let me tell you things that I am not. I am NOT some soap opera book on a shelf you pass by on your way to the Brawny paper towels and I resent anyone who might think of my fabulous life as such. Yes, I do have strict requirements for potential love interests and YES, I do have a check list for my life but thats not a bad thing. I am a feminist but I am not a man hater. I am a successful woman but I am not a threat to your masqulinity (assuming that men actually read this blog). Oh, who reads Perez Hilton? Ok, I admit, its a bit of a guilty pleasure but this man keeps celebrities alive and in the public eye so don't pretend like you don't like it. Anyway, let me tell you someONE that I am DEFINITELY NOT... Miss Miley "Soon to be Porn Star" Cyrus. This young "lady" has no self respect and I do not support her as a role model for pre-teen girls nor as a sex symbol for middle aged men. Someone I do support is Taylor Swift, this WOMAN has got class. She manages to be amazing while not flashing her privates to the world. Alright, ta ta for now ;)

What does Amanda Really Want? ... The World

What does any woman really want? A man. But I have specific requirements... which often contradict. I'm 5 foot 2 inches on a good day and a man needs to fit my 6 inch heel requirement, so really 5'8 is my short man limit but 6 foot is preferable. I want a man that can lift me with one hand (in case of an emergency where I would need to be lifted and moved quickly). It would be nice if this muscular hunk was also a doctor (so he can pillow talk with me over my symptoms) or something financially stable. Finances are very important. However I am not a gold digger, I am going to be a lawyer so I don't NEED a man, I just WANT one. Now the contradiction comes in my admiration for Justin Long. He's cute and quirky and I don't necessarily fantasize about him with his shirt off. It seems that an Amanda approved man would be tall, muscular, smart, rich, successful, AND quirky and cute with a dorkish sense of humor. I have my doubts that such a man exist, actually thats untrue, I believe he's out there but my friends do not have this same faith. Especially because my list of requirements is embarrassingly long. Here is just a preview: no drinking, no smoking, no tattoos, does service, ATTRACTIVE, not socially awkward, MUST BE DISEASE FREE, outgoing, feminist... there are more, but THE TOP MOST IMPORTANT FOUR: intelligent, funny, has to be a feminist and he has to be capable. He must be a really useful human being. And one that wants to do something in the world thats good, no playboys. OH and he has to be of a mixed race so I can have beautiful kids. You wanna hear about my bonus points? ... Oh nevermind, you know too much.

1st Day in the Blog World

Hi Everyone,

I'm a little nervous as I put myself out into the online world... mostly I don't want any personal information to become public or for creepy guys like the Korean airlines guy to send me not one but FIVE Korean airlines pocket mirrors in an attempt to "woo" me. But a good friend has assured me that this whole blog thing will help me to, well, stay sane as my life is spiraling into Bridget-Jones-without-the-hot-love possibility oblivion. Oh what's a girl to do. More to come. Cheers!
