i found the link for this from anne, and frankly, i found it really interesting:

The name of Amanda has given you an appreciation for many beautiful and refined aspects of life--music and art, literature, drama--and the outdoors, where you find much peace and relaxation, but it creates a far too sensitive nature. You sense and feel much that you do not understand, and sometimes you are alarmed at your thoughts and wonder about their origin. You rarely experience the tranquility that comes with stability of thinking or emotional control. At times, you are very inspired, desiring to be with people and to entertain others as the "life of the party," while at other times you are aloof and choose to remove yourself entirely from association. You crave understanding and affection but your intensity of desire and your self-consciousness prevent you from finding the happiness you desire. You have suffered many disappointments and misunderstandings because of your inability to express your inner thoughts. You could experience sensitivity in the heart, lungs, or bronchial organs, causing tuberculosis, asthma, or depletion of your energies.

well huh. talk about hitting the nail on the head..

i've been up since 3am. thats because i went to bed at 9pm on friday.

did you know that cartoon network shows episodes of captain planet at 5:30am? and alf is on the hallmark channel at like 6am? yeah, so i spent this morning watching cartoons (captain planet! animaniacs! whee!), then when i heard mom puttering around about 6am, i talked her in to going out to breakfast. we went to homespun, then hit some yard sales. i bought some more records.
