PERSONALITY OVERVIEW:
It means a lot to know I don't come off as a bad person. Actually, I'm not a bad person at all. Some can see me as a bit arrogant or bitchy. I'm really just busy. I have a lot of stuff I do in one day, and I work hard at writing. I've only been published once, and now I need to get cracking on this new book. I need some more money. When I am working at the coffee shop, people sometimes tell me I'm really sweet. I waitress, that is just to keep the bills paid.
Most of the time I try to be a very caring person, but I tend to say no to almost everything. I dislike being used, and I try my best to avoid any situations' where I might end up being used. Could be why I'm still single and in my 30s? I'm not sure, but I view myself as a romantic, caring, creative, and intelligent person. I know what I want, and nothing will stand in my way of getting it.[/ul]
SIBLINGS:
BOND: No, well I'm not close to my parents. I'm closer to my grandparents. They just understand me better. I have no siblings, and I never really see my aunts' and uncles'. My parents' are annoying with their money, so I refrain from seeing them as much as possible.
PETS: None
ANYTHING ELSE: Not that I can think of.
HISTORY OVERVIEW:
Well, my name is Amanda Grace Kensley. Most call me Mandy, or Gracie. My father used to call me Manny, but I hated it. So please refrain from doing so. Other then that I'm not sure what else you need to know about my name. I was born on March 5th, in the year 1980. I'm sure that will satisfy your needs. I was born in San Francisco and have never left this town, moving wise. I've been all across America, but have resided in San Fran my whole life. Let me see here, a bit about myself? I am more of a romantic. I've always wrote about these fairytale endings, and have wanted such for myself. So far I've never experienced love and I'm 31 now. Sure, I've been on a million dates, and dated a lot of losers'. No one has quite stood out to me just yet. On a brighter note, I have my own apartment. Very nice inside and out, and I make a living. That is really all that matters.
I had a simple childhood, my parents were rich. I basically could have anything I wanted, and unlike most children I never took advantage of it. Though my parents' wanted to spoil me I was more for working for what I wanted. I enjoy working, and I enjoy earning things the hard way. I grew up in San Francisco, and have never lived anywhere else. I've been all over America on vacations', and such but never have I lived anywhere else. My father has been a doctor since I was born. My mother has only been a teacher for about 20 years. I was only 11 years old when she decided to use her teaching degree. I'm not sure why she went to college to become an english teacher if she didn't intend on becoming a teacher right after. Anyways, yeah my parents as you can see were kind of strict in certain ways. How we dressed, attending church every sunday and wednesday, properly cleansing one's self, doing chores, receiving allowances, all grades must be an A, and there was so much more. Now you might see why I'm a little uptight about how my work is, but that's not the point. My parents' may have been strict, but it taught me great manners. One of the reasons' I've succeeded so well.
When I went off to college, my parents' tried to desperately talk me into becoming a nurse or something. I wanted to become a writer. I put my major as English/writing and continued on with my life. Whether or not they are proud of me it does not matter. I am happy with how my life is, and even if I have to work as a waitress to work off money for bills. I'm still very happy to be living on my own, in a very nice apartment. My parents' still, everyday, try to buy me a house, and a nice care but I tell them no. Why can't they just understand I want to do things on my own? I'm glad my grandparents are like me. I do allow my grandparents' to help me, but that's only because they understand how I want to live. My grandparents are very inspiring. Both of them worked in a shoe factory until it closed down in 2000. After that, they both found small jobs as cooks, waitresses, bus boys, or anything they could find to keep money coming in. They are my mother's parents, and they kept her very well off. Maybe that's why she wants to spoil me so badly? Her parents definitely made sure she had everything she wanted. I'm still not sure, but I do know that I am much closer to my grandparents then my parents. I feel more understood with them.
More recent, I'm a writer. I love writing poems,short-stories,novels,articles, and really anything I feel like writing. My main focus is currently on novels. I have recently wrote a book called, 'Paper Harts'. I would tell you to buy it, but I'm still trying to get it published. So if you could hold on for a few months or so, I may give you a free, signed, copy!

PASSWORD: wombat? How lame xD JK
ROLEPLAY SAMPLE:Addalynn was timid as she walked. Ignoring the ones passing by, as usual. Even though she was very outspoken in class, it seemed when she was in the corridors, or even the common room for Ravenclaw, she was quiet. It's the quiet ones you gotta watch for! People passing by would whisper. Addalynn didn't care though, she was intent on being herself. Even if these people were getting annoying about it. So what, she didn't want to talk to everyone. When the war came, she wouldn't have many people to miss or mourn over. That made things' a lot easier on her part. Since she had already lost her father, her brother, and the twin she had never had the chance to know. Addalynn didn't mind not speaking to those around her. Actually, she enjoyed the silence.
As more people turned their heads, Addalynn was only growing sick with disgust. Why do people want to set on friendship so much, or judgement? Addalynn didn't want to be friends with most of them. Sure, she had a few friends, but a few was plenty for her. Right now, she just needed to escape the fumes of other students. Their happiness was disturbing, and smelled disgusting. A stinch she was all to used to smelling...
*hours later*
Addalynn had finally changed from her robes now. Being sure to brush her teeth thoroughly, and floss as well. She also redid her makeup, after a nice facial cleansing wash. Addalynn put on a tight pink top, with a black belt at mid-waist. With black pants, and black flats. Then she accessorized with things, and made sure everything matched. Placing her evil finder ring on, before she stepped out of the girls dormitory. Addalynn was ready to escape. It was a little chilly, but she didn't care. Instead, she just marched out with a think over jacket on. It wasn't snowing, yet, but it quite possibly could. If it did, she could easily just turn and head back inside.
Her feet shuffled quietly against the flooring, as she took te steps quickly. Their movement, annoying her, for she was truly ready to exit this place. When she finally made her way out and onto the grounds, she arrived at the courtyard. "Perfect..." Addalynn whispered, quietly, to herself as she shuffled out. It was a little chilly, but nothing she couldn't handle. Her wand was in her back jeans pocket, like always. In case something happened, she was prepared. Addalynn stood over by a bench, and just watched the nature around her. The wind blowing, giving the air a kick. The cold air brushing through her hair, and face creating needle-like pricks against her face. It was cold, that was for sure. It beats sitting inside doing nothing.
Addalynn stood there quietly, it was all to good to be true. How could she possibly be standing here doing nothing, without anyone. Someone was sure to appear soon. Would they talk to her? No, of course not, they would talk around her. That's what they always did/ Addalynn stood waiting for something to happen anything. If someone were to walk by, and not say anything. Then Addalynn would find that an invitation for discussion. Addalynn would love if someone actually talked to her instead of around her. Really, it wasn't hard...[/ul]
