Commissions are currently OPEN! See below for more information.
Don't wait for the queue to shrink—the commission docket is rarely empty.Cuz I got tagged by 
asia, HURRDURRRR
LAYER ONE : THE OUTSIDE
- Name: Amanda.
- Eye Color: Brown.
- Hair Style/Color: Medium length, wavy, dark ash brown.
- Height: 5'5"
- Clothing style: Comfortable workout/pajamas. All day, every day. Suck it, bitches!
- Best physical feature: A semi-cute face? Meh. I have a teeny nose? I dunno.
LAYER TWO: THE INSIDE
- Your fears: A home invasion. Car accidents. Being in the car at all, really. Car accidents.
- Your guilty pleasure: Stupid video games no one else will play. Forensic process and true crime television.
- Your biggest pet peeve: Hearing people chew when they eat. Even hearing myself drives me nuts. Being asked to "calm down" when I'm not actually upset. People with no internal filter who share extremely personal anecdotes in mixed company without ever understanding that it's not that I'm a PRUDE, it's that those stories are special BECAUSE they're between me and the people who've known me for a long time, and that stuff doesn't need to be shared with folks I don't fucking know without my permission.
- Your ambitions for the future: Get enough of Redthread out of me that I'm not so panicky about it.
LAYER THREE: THOUGHTS
- Your first thoughts waking up: I know I've been in bed for 9 hours, but I could sooooo go back to sleep.
- What you think about most: How guilty I feel for not being better at managing my life.
- What you think about before bed: Introspective stuff. Creativity, etc. I also wind up wanting to share more of myself in that quiet time right before bed. I write my more open musings then.
- You think your best quality is: I'm quirky and somewhat interesting to people? Apparently?
LAYER FOUR: WHAT'S BETTER?
- Single or group dates: Single. I get nervous in crowds. I didn't used to, but now I'm always worried that I look/sound like an idiot any time I open my mouth. Unless there's alcohol. Then I'm "regular" me and do great in crowds. I never cross the line from "invincible" to "invisible" with alcohol, though. I'm never that girl. That girl is always someone else, and I'm the one (quietly) grimacing in the corner for her, praying she hushes before she makes an ass of herself. That sounds judgmental. Oh well! Let's just say I can drink a LOT without getting shitfaced, which gets expensive. However, I fall prey to a hangover on the slightest bit of alcohol. Double-edged sword. I never learn. :D THAT WAS A LONG DIGRESSION.
- To be loved or respected: I think there are better things than both, but I'd like to be respected for being a good person. I think that can lead to love. Anyone can feel like they love you, but it's not always terribly real. I mean, I had a RL semi-stalker who thought he was in love with me, to the point that he cried when I finally just told him to his face it would never happen. I'd rather have had his respect. Platonic, non-creepy respect.
- Beauty or brains: Brains. A person with brains can intuit how to be beautiful, but it doesn't work the other way around.
- Dogs or cats: Dogs. I don't have the energy for them, but I prefer them, even if they're more of a handful.
LAYER FIVE: DO YOU?
- Lie: I used to. Years and years ago. Horribly and compulsively. I was in a new school for the first time, my parents had just divorced, and I REALLY wanted people to like me. It backfired horribly and the effects lasted for years. I try really hard not to, now, and thankfully, I don't really wind up with a lot of reasons to. Now I only lie about little things, like how much I slacked off that day.
- Believe in yourself: Not as much as I know I really ought to.
- Believe in love: Definitely.
- Want someone: I have everything I should need in any given category. It's me I need to love more.
LAYER SIX: EVER?
- Been on stage: Indeed, for speaking engagements and panels. Never singing. There was also a play in high school.
- Done drugs: Yes. No hard stuff anymore.
- Changed who you were to fit in: Not really. But I could have made that work.
LAYER SEVEN: FAVORITES
- Favorite color: Orange orange orange.
- Favorite animal: Elephants and sugar gliders.
- Favorite movie: Scream.
- Favorite game: I did love WoW, though I don't play anymore. Sims 3? Ugh.
LAYER EIGHT: AGE
- Day your next birthday you will be: one of the 9s.
- How old will you be: Twenty-nine. Ugh. At least I don't completely look it? Someone tell me I don't! WAUGH!
- Age you lost your virginity: 19. I was really picky, that's all.
- Does age matter: Let's just say I think maturity matters, but I don't think most people are even equipped to fully deal with the emotional ramifications of sex even at 17 or 18. I said "most people". I still wasn't, not 100%.
LAYER NINE: IN A BOY OR GIRL
- Best personality: Optimistic, stoic, and calm. Not clingy.
- Best eye color: I love all eye colors.
- Best hair color: No preference.
- Best thing to do with a partner: Play a game. Talk about creative story ideas. Shoot the shit.
LAYER TEN: FINISH THE SENTENCE
- I love: realizing new things about my characters I never knew.
- I feel: better than yesterday.
- I hide: how I'm feeling way too often.
- I miss: having my Dad a room away to chat with.
- I wish: I had my shit together already.
LAYER ELEVEN: I TAG
- Who do you tag?
