Spotlight Seeker
1. Name: Amanda
2. Age (no one under 13, please): 16
3. Location: Philadelphia (The sucky part. Boooo.)
4. Three positive adjectives to describe yourself: Quirky, loyal, and understanding
5. Three negative adjectives to describe yourself: Stubborn, indecisive, and loud
6. What is the significance/meaning/derivation of your username?: ... Do I have to answer this? *sigh* It's really not all that clever. Mind you, this was a couple years ago. JD stands for Johnny Depp. Love that man.. for both his looks AND his talent. Grl... well, that's 'girl'... obviously. And 47 was supposed to be 17 because that's my favorite number, but I messed it up... Yes.
7. What is your favourite historical era, and why? Hmmm. I think it's the Roaring Twenties for me. I love everything about it. That's when movies were first created, jazz made its mark. And the clothes. I want a flapper dress.
8. What historical, mythological, or legendary character do you most identify with, and why? I... wow. Damn, that is a really tough question. I'm going to say Gemini. I feel like sometimes I'm two totally different people in one body. I'm smart, but then I'm a ditz. I'm introverted, but then I'm outgoing. I'm sure of myself, but sometimes I'm not. I'm laidback, but I freak out over little things. See? Two totally different people. Ergo, Gemini.
9. Favourite three books (exclude any based on musicals or that musicals are based on):
1) Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoniex - It had the humor, the adventure, the drama, everything.
2) The Little Prince - It's a short, but really compelling story about people in general. A simple look at humanity. (If such a thing is possible. Humans are weird.)
3) Speak - A powerful story about a girl and how she struggles with something that happened to her. The character was so real, I was absorbed by it.
10. Favourite three movies (exclude any based on musicals or that musicals are based on):
1) The Princess Bride - This is perhaps my favorite movie of all time. It's that great, fun, swashbuckler movie. This one has it all. Giants, wizards, swordfighting, mystery, true love, daring escapes, you name it.
2) Pirates of the Caribbean - I KNOW, LAME. But really, this was a good movie. They don't make this fun, adventurous types of movies anymore, so this is a nice change of pace. It falls in line with The Princess Bride. It's funny and it has great action. Not the greatest plotline, but I go to the movies to be entertained. I read to stimulate my brain.
3) The Breakfast Club - Classic movie. I tend to like the big action type of movies, but this one is different. It's almost like a character study of these 5 kids. Completely different from one another, but still manage to form these great friendships. And the dialouge is funny and great. I have a thing for scripts...
11. Do you have any creative talents?: Well, if acting counts... But I'm guessing you knew that. And singing.. to an extent.
12. Sing us a song (that isn't from a Broadway musical):
... Can't you do it for me? I'll pay you well
Fuck, I'll pay you anything if you could end this
Can't you just fix it for me? It's gone berserk
Oh fuck, I'll give you anything if you can make the damn thing work
Can't you just fix it for me? I'll pay you well
Oh fuck, I'll pay you anything
If you could understand
I love you, won't you tell me your name?
Hello, I'm good for nothing
Will you love me just the same? - The Dresden Dolls ~ The Perfect Fit
13. Anything else we should know?: Well... I don't think so. If you do, just ask.
14. Please post at least three clear pictures of yourself:
