Update 9/18/2009

I am almost caught up on all past due swaps so if you haven't rec'd your past due swap from me by the end of September message me since I may have lost track of the swap (not transferred it to my task list)

Amanda

I love hugging trees (especially those giant redwoods); I prefer almond milk to all other kinds; I feel a little guilty after eating meat but then I didn't claw my way to the top of the food chain just to eat leaves; I suffer from chronic wanderlust; I love long long road trips but haven't the slightest clue how to drive ( I did manage to turn the car key thingy on once and which scared the hell out of my mom who promptly ushered me out of the driver's seat); subtitles on French and Italian movies annoy me because they never really match what the actors are saying; I'm an addict when it comes to music and believe the first step to accomplishing any task is finding the perfect theme music; I only dance when no one's watching; I'm always in the middle of the most fascinating book; finally I'm one of those bleeding heart liberals the republicans warned you about, only I bleed blue blood (GO CALIFORNIA GOLDEN BEARS!).
