Well I like to think of myself as the queen of the dork parade. Mostly because every time I walk into an electronic store, I figuratively wet myself when I see something I want. I love the sounds the fresh gadgets make when they're on. After just a few minutes with a brand new device I can figure out how to use it and show you everything you'd need to know about it. So just by that, it proves how big of a nerd I am. But, I don't care! Tech is awesome!

I love crime shows and ghost documentaries that are primarily shown on friday nights. I watch the edumacated tv channels like the history or discovery channel (discovery mostly for the <mythbusters< watching them blow stuff up.... I mean, how cool is that?!).

Don't be upset, but I do watch cartoons every so often. Spongebob and Looney Toons being my favorites, but Avatar and Family Guy are good ones too. Sometimes South Park can even suck in my attention... I'm not proud of that one...

As far as anime is concerned, it's hard to pick just one favorite because I've been in the game so long... if I can remember, my first taste was waaaayyyyyy back when I saw Vampire Hunter D on the SciFi channel late one night when I was about 6 or 7. My regular fix was satisfied by Dragonball Z, Sailor Moon and Pokemon for my first series'. Then it all evolved into a huge mass of love when I entered junior high and met a bunch more people who introduced me to the wide world of japanimation and I never went back.

With video games I can safely say the only genres I don't like are shooting games and strategy games. I don't care for racing games, but they do have good ones occasionally (like the mario ones). RPGs Have to be my favorite ones. FFVII and it's sequels, prequels and remake being the absolute favorite (Crisis Core is aweome! *hums to the ending theme <Why< by Ayaka*). Right now I'm working on completing Dynasty warriors 6 for the PS3 (yes I bought one... a 60gig no less. IN YOUR FACE people who bought the 40gigs!)

I love books. Hard to believe a tech geek like me still reads things on paper, huh? You'd be surprised at how many books I have on my shelves. My favorite authors are Stephen King and J.K. Rowling. I have to say her because I LOVE the Harry Potter books, so much so that I've read all of them at least 3 times each, and when I got the first 5 at the same time, I stayed awake for nearly 3 days straight reading them all in a row.

Manga... Well I love manga, because I love anime. I just wish some of the ones I've found would get animated already! Like W juliet. That was a good one and I'd like to see Ito freak out in color!

Music. Not much to say except if you have some suggestions, I'll listen to it. I give everything a chance. I didn't think I'd like yanni until my friend had me listen to it as back round music. The only thing I'd object to is when the 'singer', if that's what you call them in this instance, yells and screams through most of the song, requiring no actual singing talent. I'd like to avoid those songs entirely.

Okay, Web time. I LOVE the internet! Who doesn't? That is, after all, one of the reasons places like this exist. Aside from this site, my favs include:http://www.fanfiction.net/http://www.deviantart.com/http://www.onemanga.com/directory/http://wikipedia.org/http://www.youtube.com/http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/http://www.imdb.com

Now, I do have SOME things I like to do that doesn't pertain to electronic gadgets... Unless you count kitchen appliances and pencil sharpeners... I like to cook. Yes, I can make a pretty mean bowl of mac and cheese! Seriously though, I can cook well enough without directions on a box that people keep telling me to go to culinary school. The problem with that is if I have a cooking job for a career, I'll never want to make a home cooked meal at home ever again. I mean who wants to work while at home off the clock? I know, the logic is pretty poor, but that's just how my brain functions. I'd rather have a tech job if that wasn't clear enough before. With the pencil sharpener quip, I like drawing and writing as free time hobbies. Unfortunately for me, inspiration never hits before 11pm, so then I'm up till 2am writing or drawing out my inspired though. *sigh* I wish my muse would hit me during the daylight hours! drawing is mostly centered around anime, but I can never actually draw an original picture of even an already created character. If you want me to hand magnify a picture of your favorite character then call me! Writing!... well, I suck at fanfics, so don't bother asking for one. I have a story that I've been technically working on for 5 years, but it's been rewritten at least 3 times. Except for names, nothing is the same from the first version. It's reached the 170th page, all HAND WRITTEN by the way. So far everyone who's read it like it, so I'm hopeful to get it typed up and posted on deviantart before long.

All right, I think I've said quite enough. You guys know me from front to back, side to side, inside out, etc. Blah, blah blah!

Oh! One more thing... My name's Amanda, I'm 22 years of age, and I'm your residential Tech Otaku! Welcome to my life. Please wipe your feet!
