About Amanda...

Oh, Hello there! I didn't see you. *wink*

I am Amanda. I am a college student by day (working on a BA in Art History... Which means I am a huge art lover!) and a roller derby girl by night (I skate with Sacred City Derby Girls out of Sacramento, CA under the alias "Man Ram"). I am tatted & pierced (1 tattoo and 4 piercings with more to come hopefully), a photographer (both digital and film)/ crafter (collages & painting)/ crocheter (yarn & otherwise), a traveler (mostly in California till I get more money), a blogger (since I was 16), music lover (Deftones, Queens of The Stone Age, Death From Above 1979, Interpol, Bloc Party, We Are Scientist, Radiohead, Eagles of Death Metal, Peaches), animal lover: 2 cats (Beasley & Poppy... They are my avatar. Poppy is the cream one and Beasley is the gray one) and 2 turtles (Mona & Minerva), a video gamer (ps3: Red Dead Redemption, Grand Theft Auto 4, LittleBigPlanet & ps2: Ratchet & Clank series, Katamari Damacy), and a sports lover (San Diego Chargers, Anaheim Angels, San Francisco Giants, UCLA Bruins/ USC Trojans).

->I love to have fun with the postcards I send out. I will sometimes (probably like 75% of the time) write or draw something on them with pens, sharpies or decorate them with random stickers. I love to personalize & make things less boring. So if you don't like stickers, too bad! (jk) I also make my own recycled cards from old postcard flyers and magazine pictures!

->I collected postcards as a kid & I have tons in a shoe box that I have never used (from other states and countries that friends and family have traveled to). You might end up getting one from me that I got all over the place (be warned). I will try to send the cards that you like tho. :)

->What I like? Anything really. I am not too picky. Artwork postcards (like ones you might get at a museum/ gallery) are probably my favorite since I am an art history major... Beckoning Cat postcards if you live in Japan/ China (I am a collector of Beckoning Cat trinkets & statues. True story, I have like 40+ items so far)... city-scape/ skylines/ landscapes, buildings (cool architecture is great), animals (bears, koi fish, birds, cats, beagle dogs), map cards, home made, photo-postcards and roller derby themed cards too. I also like Snoopy, Winnie the Pooh, sugar/ day of the dead skulls... I mostly just like something that shows your personality & who you are in the world. Please don't forget to tell me who you are, feel free to tell me what is going on in your part of the world (I find beauty in the slightest stories) and date the post card! :)

-Amanda!

PS: If I send you a card, could you please (with a cherry on top!) post a photo of it on here?! I would love to see the ones I have sent out to fellow postcrossers around the world. I will try to do the same.
