Bruno Mars Just The Way You Are Official Lyrics On ScreenHQ HD

So I'll admit that I'm lucky to have my more than just a friend Gregory. I love him so much, and right now he's being really cute. Everyone has heard this song. Every girl wants her guy to sing it to her, but I'm lucky enough that I have a guy that doesn't just sing the song for me, he lives the song for me. He heard this song and told me he was making a point of following it, and he has. Every night I get a text,if I don't see him in person that day, telling me that he loves me and that I'm beautiful. It doesn't get much better than that. I can't tell you how much it means to me. Love you Gregory!

Signs of a Broken Heart

I don't think I mentioned that I enjoy writing, however I have never found poetry to be my forte.  However, one of my writing friends thought this was a good concept so I thought I would share.  And yes, I wrote this going off of personal experience.

Signs of a Broken Heart
Consider what it feels like to exercise too hard for too long.
That’s about what it feels like to have a broken heart
You keeps running.  You know it hurts
but you don’t know how bad it is until you’re done
You lay down.  You don’t want to get back up again
Everything in your body pulses and throbs
You can’t seem to get a good breath in
You know walking around will help
but your mind just doesn’t want to play logic
When you finally do get up you get stiff
The pain lingers for days
The next time you go to exercise you look at it with dread
But you decide that the endorphins and thrill you get from it is worth the pain
because as time passes the pain becomes a distant memory
And now that you brain will play logic you know that someday
Someday you will be able to do the exercise and not go through the pain.

My Brain Needs a Rest

The past few weeks have been good and bad and ugly.
It's been a long couple of weeks.  You remember that I said I was a actriss of ten years?  Well I had the chance to audition for The Sound of Music.  The only problem was that I would have to leave my youth theater director of ten years for it.  It wasn't an easy decition but I  decided to do it.  Lori, my director, tried to change my mind, and I almost did. Lori fought dirty.  She managed to tell me that she needed me because I was here best singer and that the thought of me leaving made her sick to her stomach.  I need you, you're good at something, and your causing me pain.  Those three things are at least enough to make me consider changing my mind, but in the end I stuck to the orriginal decition. I auditioned for Sound of Music on Tuesday and am currently sitting in the school computer lab waiting for the cast list to be posted!!!!!!!!  I wish he would hurry it up. 
To top it off, It's finals week.  My brain has exploded, but I'm done and I'm alive, and I think I did pretty well.........at least I hope I did.

My Life In a Nut Shell

  My name is Amanda.  I'm eighteen and a senior in high school.  As we all know high school is one crazy ride...my story is no exception. In the past three and a half years I've fallen in love, had my heart broken (my love life is one crazy ride in itself), and changed myself into a person that my before high school self would know, let alone expect. 
I have a mom and a dad that, against the statistics of this world, are still married.  I am the oldest of four kids, one brother (15), and two sisters (10 and 2). 
I have a good and interesting group of freinds.  Kyli, my best girlfriend, Gregory, my slightly more than friend, Kadee, the person I can always depend on, and Jared, my shrink. (:  I'm a friendly person.  I like and get along with almost everyone but these are the people that I am with all the time.  Most of us, the only exception is Kadee, goes to the same charter school.  Kadee is my best friend in my ward. 
I'm LDS and I don't know what I'd do without it.
I've spent the past ten years in musical theater.  I'm a natural actress.  Sometimes it's good to escape into somebody else's world, but most of all I love to dance.  My family think I'm stupid to pursue something like dance, but something sparked in me when I started ballroom two years ago and I'm not giving up on it.
I'm red headed, blue eyed, and short, and I have the personality to match it.  You can see me coming from miles away.  And I like that about myself.  I'm comfortable in my own skin.
That's my life in a nut shell.  Hope you enjoy the blog.
