My new cellie...

I recently upgraded to a new phone... the HTC HD2, which is the top of the line phone provided by HTC and T-Mobile. I switched from verizon to t-mobile because of the charges I was getting from verizon was getting beyond ridiculous. Through verizon I was paying over 85 dollar for unlimited txt, 900 min and no data. With t-mobile, I am paying 70 for same amount of minute and unlimited txt along with unlimited data... you do the math...

So far I am very happy with this cell, it comes with free movies and books in it and it is very user friendly. I have been fiddling with it all morning to just learn how to do things and it has been a fun experience seeing what everything does!

C-A-P-S caps caps caps


Today is Monday, so it is time to update what has been going on in the life of amanda... well i went to the CAPS game with Jimmy. We scored free tickets for the 7th game in the playoffs (which is really hard to come by i might add) and we got awesome seats! It was a fun time up until they lost, which was very disappointing indeed. I still had a fun time and it was worth going because it was just a fun experience that I def want to do next season :)

Ok, south park aired their 200th episode, which is an amazing accomplishment I must say!. I honestly have been inspired by south park to not take life seriously and to enjoy life and make fun of the ridiculous things that come along.


I have personal favorite episode, such as Teacher Bangs a Student, Sexual Harassment Panda, Free Willyz, and much much more! They help teach about life lessons, such as Raisins teaching about heartbreak and losing that first love and how to get over it. Each episode has a moral to the story that covers issues or evens and it teaches something that will stick with people for the long run. It even adds a touch a humor with it which I think is the best part lol


anyways... the 200th episode aparently started a huge uproar... Muslim Radicals have made direct death threats to the creaters of South Park for airing the episode and making some remarks about Muhammad. Which i think its ridiculous because there are so many other religous figures being made fun of, such as Jesus and Buddha, and even the mormon prophet! Anyways this is one of those times when people sometimes take things really seriously... below is an article from the UK about the whole situation....



Independent News - South Park Censorred After Death Threats...

Since when did a sticker cost $128????

So I was driving home from Jimmy's house one night and it was like 12 in the morning and no one was really on the road. I was driving and doing my thing, and all of a sudden a cop gets on me and pulls me over. The first thing i thought was "oh shit he nailed me for speeding didn't he?" well, to my surprise it was just my tail light that was out.. i never knew they actually pulled you over for that type of stuff, I seriously thought that kind of stuff was what you see in the movies with bad guys getting caught because of a simple thing like that... bottom line is he was cool and he didnt give me a work order, but he did remind me that it was time to renew my tags... oh fuck its that time again?

ok, so i get a letter from the MVA... time to renew my tags.. and the fee is $128 to put a new freaking sticker on it! i mean seriously! I understand that its the tags more than the sticker getting renewed, but that price is kind of ridiculous.... i would be ok with 50 dollars, or even 80 dollars.. but 128 is like me buying a new pair of chanel sunglasses or a coach purse... the plus about the sunglasses and purse is that they are more likely to last longer than the freaking tag.. because in 2 to 3 years i am going to have to renew it again... i swear thinking about this makes me realize how much bank the MVA makes from every person who owns a car...

Movies ending the right way

"the most important part of the story is the ending... and this one... is very good" - secret window
As most of you should know, I am a big movie buff, movies are my thing and they make me happy and entertain me. One things that bothers me is when movies end crappy. Nothing is worse than a movie that has an unfinished ending. I would love it if it was like old times where you would kill the writer if the audience didn't like the ending lol
I found a web site that shows "how it should have ended" which is pretty fun to look at when you have a minute or two... below is the twilight verson lol (i think we set the place on fire... lol)

Deep Creek

ok so I got back from Deep Creek in Garrett Co. MD and lemme tell you that that place is super pretty!!!! A place that has every single house looking like this...

a wilderness feel i guess is what you can say lol

one thing is for sure that this summer I plan to go there more often! The place is just so peaceful and it seems like an awesome place to just get away form the city.. also movies there are only 5 bucks and they got love seats lol sweet :) a movie with 2 popcorns and a large drink is less than 20 bucks.. my kind of movie haha

Cherry Blossom in DC... or at least what remained of them...


I recently took a trip to DC with Jimmy to see the cherry blossoms, and of course half of the blossoms are pretty much dead and gone... basically flower confetti on the ground. It was great though because the weather was beautiful and I got a great workout from walking like crazy for 3 hours straight lol. Had a great lunch at Jaleo off 7th Street and that was freaking amazing!!.. im addicted to endives with tangerines and goat cheese! lol

I think its good to take a nice break and go down to DC every now and again. It is just something that is cheap and nice way to spend a day. On my to do list next time is to see more museums (already saw the Newseum which was badass) and eat at a sushi go round bar lol

This blizzard was the worst we have ever had in over a century..its record breaking but i have to say this this was the worst experience ever!... not only was I snowed in I was bored out of my mind and i fell twice trying to get food... i think i spent multiple days in my room with snacks and lots of tv shows to watch on dvd...

4. visit my mom and spent a good 5 days with her and catching up
5. experience the worst blizzard in a century... fml I hate the snow and now anytime there is a mention of a snowflake coming down i stock up on pizza bagels and hibernate in my room.
6. started back at the mount.. its hard getting back in teh swing of classes but hey i can adapt and im doing good so far.
7. valentines day with jimmy... and he actually cooked for me which was really good!
8. spring break i went to atlantic city... i learned how to play roulette and i won abt 150 dollars (yayy for me!) lol also stayed in this cute little colonial village in NJ called smithville lol it was cute and fun! doggy bakery!!
