MySpace a place for friends

* I'm Mandy.

* 25 years old.

* I'm married to the most wonderful person ever, and I've never been happier in my entire life. I definetly married my best friend :) He's the love of my life and he means everything to me. I fall in love with him more and more every single day. Jeremy, I love you with all my heart. 11-21-07. <3 ♥ Married- 4/11/08 ♥ Honestly, at my age I never thought i'd be lucky enough to have already found the person I wanted to spend the rest of my life with, but I have, and we have a beautiful family together. Some people end up searching their entire lives to find what I have, so I definetly feel very lucky.

* I'm the mother of a beautiful baby girl named Autumn Raine. She was born on 12-27-08. After a pretty difficult pregnancy, she still turned out perfect, and she's everything I ever wanted. I love my little monkey so much ♥

* I absolutely LOVE music. Aside from my husband & daughter, music and concerts are definetly the most important part of my life. I have very diverse taste when it comes music. I will listen to just about everything [with the exception of rap, aside from a few songs here and there]. I love a little bit of everything...rock, alternative, metal, pop, emo, industrial, punk, christian rock, christian metal, j-rock, etc etc etc. And yes, I do love country music. I know a lot of people say they hate it, but I grew up listening to it & it definetly became a part of me. I will basically listen to anything and at least give it a chance. Going to concerts is my absolute favorite thing EVER, and I've been to many of them over the past few years. I've had many amazing concert experiences and gotten to see SO many great bands live.

* Halloween is my absolute favorite holiday and favorite day out of the entire year. I'm just completely fascinated by it. I love everything about it..the decorations, the costumes, the fall weather, the parades, the haunted houses, fall festivals, etc. In fact, I'm actually obsessed with it to a point where it's a bit crazy. I'm just completely in love with the fall season and definetly with Halloween. Yes, I am the type of person who would decorate for Halloween ALL year long!

* My favorite band ever is definetly AVENGED SEVENFOLD. Yes, I'm VERY much obsessed with them. They are incredible and absolutely the best fucking band EVER! I can't even say enough good things about them. Those guys are all just amazingly talented in every way. M Shadows ROCKS! Seriously, that man is like a god to me. I pretty much worship the ground that he walks on, he is absolutely AMAZING and SO gorgeous! I've seen them in concert a few times and loved every second of it {TASTE OF CHAOS 2008 WAS THE BEST EVER!}. In fact, I love them SO much that I even got a tattoo of the deathbat on my left arm :) A7x is the best!!

* I LOVE tattoos SO much- I just find them to be absolutely amazing and beautiful. The incredible detail that goes into the art of a tattoo fascinates me. Personally I have 19 so far [a rose on my back left shoulder, a tribal heart design on my lower back, a memorial heart for my dad on my right inner forearm, my A7x deathbat on my left inner forearm, a skull with stars on the left side of my chest, a tribal bat design on my right wrist, ' Jeremy' written in Chinese letters on my left arm, an Egyptian ankh on my left leg, Jack Skellington's face on my upper right arm, my wedding band tattoo on my finger, a star on my leg above my right knee, the Steelers logo on my right arm, a jack-o-lantern on my right leg, 2 stars on my butt, a devilish hello kitty on my upper back, a shamrock on my left arm, a bat on my left breast, and a skull with stars on my right breast].

* I LOVE beer..it's pretty much the best kind of alcohol ever. My favorite types of beer are: Coors Light, Budweiser, Molson, Yuengling, Miller Lite, and Labatt Blue.

* I LOVE FOOTBALL!! Watching football is one of my favorite things. I'm definetly a HUGE Steelers fan and always will be. The Steelers are a VERY important part of my life. I always enjoyed watching Steelers games with my dad, and ever since then i've been a huge fan. GO STEELERS!!!!

* Westlife always has been and always will be one of my favorite bands ever. I've loved them ever since they first came around.They are amazing and will always hold a special place in my heart. My dream is to someday be able to see them in concert [just kinda hard to do because they don't ever come to the U.S. =( ].

* I totally LOVE watching extreme sports [bmx, motocross, skateboarding, supercross, in-line skating] and am addicted to watching the X-Games, Gravity Games, and other events throughout the year.

* I LOVE fall. I think it's so beautiful. The best time of the year. The best weather, corn mazes, fall festivals, fall crafts, scarecrows, pumpkins, pumpkin patches, pumpkin roll/gobs/pie, fall foliage, candy corn, hay rides, etc etc...I love it all!! Also explains why my daughter's name is Autumn =)

* I'm a bitch. No, really, I am. But, if you're nice to me I'll be nice to you. I can be one of the nicest people you've ever met.

* Even though it's no longer on tv, "Big Wolf on Campus" will pretty much always be my favorite show EVER. My other all time favorite would have to be "Viva La Bam".

* "The Nightmare Before Christmas" is my favorite movie ever {I think Tim Burton is a genius}. "Grind" comes in 2nd, I love that movie as well {it's a movie about skateboarding, so of course I love it}. The movie "Bend it like Beckham" is also a major favorite of mine :)

* I love going to local band shows & checking out what's going on with the local band scene.

* I'm obsessed with sneakers and skate-type shoes. I love the brands Converse, Vans, Draven, T.U.K., and Punkrose. I own many pairs and still continue to buy more.

* I absolutely can't stand uncertainty when it comes to anything. When I'm expecting something to happen, I like to be absolutely sure it's going to.

* I've met the guys from the band Simple Plan, which I will pretty much always think is awesome :)

* If you expect to stay on my good side, don't EVER criticize the music that I listen to. I don't really care if you don't agree with my taste in music. Also, please don't ever argue with me about anything music-related because chances are it's a fight you won't win.

* I think that Jackass is pretty much the most amusing thing ever. haha, seriously I do. Those guys are funny as hell.

* I love checking out new bands and especially bands from other countries [in particular the UK as well as Canada, Germany, Romania, etc]. I also really enjoy listening to radio stations online from all over the world, so if you can recommend any to me please let me know.

* I'm also very into the cultures, languages, and customs of other countries.

* I especially love Ireland. It has been my biggest dream for years to get to go there someday. I'm just hoping that someday my dream will come true.

* I'm very close to my immediate family, and quite possibly my biggest fear in life is losing my loved ones, so therefore losing my dad in 2007 was the worst experience of my life. I don't know if I'll ever completely recover from it. I'm slowly learning to accept and understand it, but it's very hard now for me to look at life the same way as I used to. I'll always feel like part of me is missing. I miss my dad dearly and I know I always will.

* I'm not what you would call a "girly-girl" at all, in fact sometimes i'm more like a guy. To me nothing is better than drinking beer, eating pizza, and watching a good football game =)

* I have a weird obsession for morbid and unusual things [bats, gothic style and music, skeletons, haunted houses, pumpkins, vampires, Transylvania, etc--].

* I absolutely LOVE mexican food, and Taco Bell is my favorite fast food restaurant. If I could, I'd eat there every day of my life.

* I'm extremely paranoid.

* Monkeys are pretty much my favorite animals.

* I use the words "pretty much" entirely too much.

* My all-time favorite song is actually "Monster Mash". Yes, I listen to that song all year long not just during Halloween.

* I like piercings & think they're cool. However, I don't have any yet [aside from 11 in my ears--4 in the left & 7 in the right].

* I love to travel & of the places I've been to, I'd definetly have to say that my favorites have been Niagara Falls Canada, Las Vegas, Disneyworld, Disneyland, & Huntington Beach, California.

* Rockstar Energy Drinks are the best! In fact, I love trying out all different types of energy drinks because they're just SO good.

* Hal Sparks is my favorite actor and comedian. I've seen him perform live twice at the Pittsburgh Improv. He's awesome and hilarious! :)

* I've experienced a lot of things in my life, some good, some bad, and some things that I would never wish on anybody, but I feel that I am a stronger person today for having gone through all of it. I have a lot of good memories as well, and they will be things that I'll keep with me for the rest of my life. To me, the lessons you learn in life are more important and valuable than any material posessions could ever be.

* If you don't like me...there's a pretty good chance that I probably don't care. If you do, well then you're just awesome :D If there's anything else you care to know, just ask. I'm very easy to get along with for the most part. =) Basically if you don't lie to me, judge me before you know me, act like an asshole/bitch/snob, or criticize the music I listen to...i'll probably like you.
