My name

What Amanda Means

You are usually the best at everything ... you strive for perfection. You are confident, authoritative, and aggressive. You have the classic "Type A" personality. You are confident, self assured, and capable. You are not easily intimidated. You master any and all skills easily. You don't have to work hard for what you want. You make your life out to be exactly how you want it. And you'll knock down anyone who gets in your way! You are very intuitive and wise. You understand the world better than most people. You also have a very active imagination. You often get carried away with your thoughts. You are prone to a little paranoia and jealousy. You sometimes go overboard in interpreting signals. You are balanced, orderly, and organized. You like your ducks in a row. You are powerful and competent, especially in the workplace. People can see you as stubborn and headstrong. You definitely have a dominant personality.

What's Your Name's Hidden Meaning?

Most of those things are true whith the exeption of knocking people down who get in my way. A polite "excuse me" works just fine.
I'm not sure I'm very confident or aggressive either.

Happy endings, or realistic?

I've been an avid reader since I was a kid, I've read a lot of what would probably be considered "Fairy tales" meaning the story no matter how normal it seems really has no basis in reality. I think it may have messed up my perception of the real world. I always expected to have a passionate romance, that we would overcome all odds to be together etc. etc.

The problem is: realistic endings are totally depressing. When no matter how much the couple loves each other they just aren't able to be together and they wind up heartbroken.
Although, happy endings can also be depressing because it sounds so wonderful and it's sad that the world isn't that way.

Maybe I should just watch some mindless television.
