Music
I listen to just about anything.
Movies
My favorite Movie list is huge. I don't even know where to start.
Just about anything with Johnny Depp.
Wizard of Oz, Grease and Lean On Me are all time favorites.
The list goes on.
Television
We don't watch much TV, as we don't have cable, but when we do my picks include Behind The Music type stuff and forensic type stuff.
I like 21 Jump Street, Smallville, Star Trek (except the original and Enterprise), Firefly and some of the "Teen Nick" shows including Zoey 101, Drake and Josh, Ned's Declassified, and Hannah Montana. I know, I am a dork, but what can I say, I've got kids, lol!
Books
LOVE to read!
Harry Potter (I can read all of them over and over again) I'm
a Gryffindor!
Series Of Unfortunate Events
Just about anything by Stephen King
The Mode Series by Peirs Anthony
Twilight Series
Heroes
My mom.
A single mom rasing two kids helping each one deal with the death of their fathers early in their lives (at 4 1/2 and at 13), then taking on step children who's father doesn't know how to be a father. She is an awesome, awesome woman.
A Native American grandfather was talking to his grandson about how he
felt about a tragedy. He said, " I feel as if I have two wolves
fighting in my heart. One wolf is the vengeful, angry one. The other
wolf is the loving, compassionate one. The grandson asked, "Which one
will win the fight in your heart?" The Grandfather answered, "The one
I feed."
My name is Amanda and I am a stay at home, radical unschooling mum to two beautiful daughters. I do a little working from home as well including pictures, slideshows, collages and some sewing...
Top 10 Things You Should Know About Me
10. I am pretty shy until I get to know someone, then I can talk your ear off.
9. I hate when people ask questions to which the answer is quite obvious (like the "Here's Your Sign" stuff).
8. I don't insist that the toilet seat gets put down, even with 3 girls and only 1 guy in the house.
7. Johnny Depp is my all time favorite actor, and not just because he is sexy.
6. I am the WAHM behind http://www.hopescreations.com
5. I think George W. Bush is the Anti-Christ (no, really, I do) and that Jennifer Granholm is the Seductress of Darkness (yep, I live in Michigan).
4. I blog our unschooling journey at http://whatmykidstaughtme.blogspot.com
3. I am a "born again" agnostic.
2. Yes, I radically unschool my children. No, they don't "do" school work. No, they don't have bedtimes. No, they don't have chores. Yes, they have free access to candy, sweets and junk food. Yes, a lot of times, they choose *not* to eat those things. Yes, they do help out around the house. Yes, they do know how to read and write. Yes, they can add. Yes, we LOVE our life.
My heart and soul eagerly awaits the day I will meet all those that we have loved and lost.
