Wait a tick.. About Me!

I nearly forgot to tell you about the most important part of this blog! ME! As you know, my name is Amanda LePera, but as soon as I went away to college, I became Amanda La. I was born on the twenty first of October in the year of 1991, making me nineteen years young. I hale from East Northport, Long Island where I have lived my entire life. Among my family, I am the middle daughter, and I have an older sister, Kristin, who is twenty three years old, and I have a younger sister, Lisa, who is fourteen years old. Technically, I also have a brother, Winston, but he's really small and hairy. Ok he's my dog, but consider yourself warned that he will be making many appearances on this blog, yes sir. I have loved sports my whole life and I've played many of them ranging from gymnastics, to soccer, to field hockey, to lacrosse, to softball, to basketball. My favorite would have to be field hockey because I've played it the longest and have developed the closest relationships with teammates. When I'm not dragging my hockey stick across the field, you could probably find me running (for leisure only, competition? blech) or hanging out with my friends. I absolutely love being around people and being in a warm, exciting atmosphere. There is nothing better than laughing until your stomach hurts with a group of people that you love. At the same time, there are times where I love being on my own. Times where I am my own company and I enjoy it. Its funny, because when I'm not being active, I'm being exactly the opposite. I can sit and watch movies for days. Any of my friends can tell you that I can recite a movie line with the drop of a hat. I will openly admit that I am weird, where I can't remember what tech assignment was due today, but I can recite every line Ben Stiller has said in the movie Heavyweights. This would definitely be a trait I learned from my dad; a song will playing on the radio, and he can tell you the name, artist, album, year, gross profit, etc. of it without hesitation. So thanks, Daddy. But more about me. =) I love to write. If there are three lines provided to answer a question, I'll fill out at least twenty. From a young age I have always enjoyed writing and drawing, and even still to this day. I considered a profession in either field, but felt that after it became my occupation, I would lose my passion for it. So I'm on to be a teacher, something I feel I couldn't be happier doing. Lastly, I work at IHOP and I've been happily serving pancakes for six years. I feel its something I just have to say because it always gets a reaction. So theres a little dose of me, if you read the whole thing, more power to ya.

Cheers!
