Well, since you are asking for my "ideal", I am going to reply with my "ideal". I look for someone with similar morals and beliefs as myself. Someone who is family-oriented, goal-oriented, driven, and has a general plan for their future.

I typically prefer someone who is taller than myself, and older than I am. I really like a sense of humor similar to mine. I am a big goofball but I also have a very dry sense of humor. I am super sarcastic. And I like when someone will not be too sensitive about it, and can jokingly dish it back. I look for someone who has similar interests as me, but also is their own person and has some interests that are different from mine.

I like spending time outdoors, being active, going out and spending time out trying new things. But I also really enjoy quiet nights in at times. I like to lounge and watch movies or read and have an occasional lazy day. I like when a person has a similar taste in music and sense of style as myself.

I want someone who is dynamic. Someone who can spend a classy night out on the town, or an afternoon taking a hike without thinking twice. I want someone who will go to a concert with me or take a float trip or go to an art museum or an afternoon in a park.

I look for a person who expresses interest in the things I have going on in my life and supports me. But I also value my space and time, so I want someone who will not smother me or be clingy. I look for someone who is accepting. A person who realizes that people make mistakes, and that I have made mistakes, and will continue to make them. I also look for someone who has learned from their mistakes.

I want someone who wants a future similar to the one I want. While I'm not looking to settle down and go get married today, I want to know that I'm not wasting my time and emotions on someone who isn't looking for the same things. I love animals, so an animal lover is a big plus too. There are probably a billion other things I could add to this list, but these are the basics :]

Now I am super curious as to who asked me this and why!! Care to share?!

That's easy. You have a purpose. That purpose is to work as a volunteer Walmart greeter for 4.63 hours between the hours of 3 pm and 9 pm, whilst not making eye contact with a single person. That is, do not get hired to work for Walmart, but greet everyone anyway. Upon the last minute of your shift, you need to run up tp your "boss" and yell, "I quit!" After you receive your new-found freedom, you should go rescue and adopt an animal. The larger the better. I'm thinking elephant. Ever seen "Larger Than Life" with Bill Murray? NO? That is your next mission. And finally, your last task is to STOP ASKING PEOPLE THE MEANING OF LIFE. Make your own meaning, you Negative Nancy. I am not the supreme ruler of all things life- I cannot give you your answer. This is something you need to decide for yourself. Enjoy life. That is the meaning. Now, if you would be so kind as to excuse me, I have to go discover the meaning of MY life. GOOD DAY.

oh man. This is a loaded question. I am going to plead the fifth on this one, and choose not to dignify it with a response.

The center of attention? No. It makes me anxious. Involved in what is going on? Yes.

i remember them most of the time. i remember nightmares especially well for some reason.

yes i can. im right-handed, so my right hand snap is louder.

As much as I hate to answer this, I will. Part of growing up and being responsible is owning up to your actions and whatnot right? I think so. And I think learning from mistakes is a pretty important thing. It's part of growth.
Anyway, yes. Unfortunately, I have cheated on someone. I am not proud of it by any means. Knowing that I caused someone else so much pain because of my own selfish actions is something that I hate knowing I've done. But I have. And he is aware of it. Our relationship got very unhappy and very unhealthy, not that that is an excuse or makes my actions justifiable. Neither of us really knew how to change our relationship for the better, and in a way, I think we were both scared to break up. We got used to one another and what to expect. But I was definitely throwing a boomerang, because karma came back for me.
I haven't technically been cheated on, that I know of. But I did wind up walking in on the 'other man' and another girl fooling around about a week after we had hooked up. And this was someone I did care about. That did suck. We weren't together, but it still sucked seeing it happen.
Needless to say, no one should go through being cheated on. And cheating is not an acceptable thing to do. It has changed me as a person. I have NEVER experienced that kind of guilt before or since that moment. And I hope I never do. I can tell you that this is something I will never do again.

anything from anyone. ive got nothing to hide. i want to learn.

Lessons Learned.

I think Britney has done some ridiculous things, but who am I to judge? She's doing her thing and good for her. If she's happy, that's what matters. I can't stand some of her music sometimes but she so. damn. catchy. i hate to love it.

This is an excellent, and very challenging question. I wanted to be able to answer this as honestly and fairly as possible. So, to do that, I looked up the term, "Superpower" to get a specific idea on any limitations I would have. I wound up with a list, you would be shocked to know how many superpowers there are. There are so many different powers, it was incredibly difficult to choose just one. However, after I found my power, I would never choose another again. I choose the power of Omnipotence. This is essentially the power to have any power, or to do/control anything. I would be able to read minds (telepathy), see what is happening in other places (clairvoyance), control objects (psychokinesis), read thoughts (telepathy), etc. Essentially with this power, I could control war, deaths, motives. Since the power would only last ten minutes, I would probably take advantage of it. Why not control people that I know? It may seem morally wrong to influence the freewill of someone else but I probably would just because I could. I would keep my power a secret because after all, who would believe me? And even if they didn't, I could force them believe me. I would probably make people fall in love, and I would give people jobs. I would also probably manipulate time as well, extending my time with the power. If I am omnipotent, I can establish what time really is. If something only lasts ten minutes, I can slow time down and extend it, and make many things happen in a short amount of time. After having had my fun, I would probably make someone fall in love with me and form essentially the 'perfect' relationship and instill complete happiness within it. Then I would erase my own memory of ever having had the power of Omnipotence, that way I wouldn't harbor any guilt or stress about any of the decisions I had made. I would just go on living the life of a normal person, which is ultimately all I really want for myself. If only, in a perfect world... I used this website for my idea and list of powers:

It really depends. I will either go in my room, and hole myself up. Or I'll go on a walk. When I walk, I usually attempt to do something constructive like take photos. It's something I can do to take my mind off things if only for a short time.

I love it. Until the snow melt and soaks through my layers. A numb Amanda is not a happy Amanda.

If I could, I would LOVE to be an expert swing dancer! I think the music is so energetic and the dancing looks so difficult and controlled. I think partner dancing is some of the most difficult, yet most beautiful.

I would love to meet several famous people. Honestly, I'd love to meet any famous people. I enjoy meeting people who aren't famous, so to say that I want to meet someone solely based on their fame wouldn't be very accurate. I was on the same beach as Dennis Hoffman once, does that count for anything? Oh! I've met a few awesome musicians. I want to meet nearly anyone. People are fascinating.

This question is such a difficult. As a whole, it would be anytime spent with my mother while she was alive. But that is a very broad answer. If I have to give something else, I would say an time over summer, spent on my family's property up north. They live outside Eolia, MO in the middle of nowhere on some acreage. We always have a good time, either riding horses, or 4 wheeling, or having a bon fire. I love the outdoors, so for me it brings a sense of peace.

definitely tv. i dont watch much tv as it is because im constantly on the computer. however, i do enjoy watching movies, so id have to stream them on my computer or go to a theatre.

biggest fear- death, being alone.
biggest dream- to have my own family and be happy and successful.
biggest mistake- taking things for granted at times.

The repetition of the same sounds or of the same kinds of sounds at the beginning of words or in stressed syllables.
ie: sally sells sea shells by the sea shore.

wow this is a difficult question. if i were to turn back time, and do things differently it would alter the entire rest of my life from my family, to my relationships, and my education. that being said, if i had to turn back time, id only do it so i could re-experience a day the way it occurred originally. and that would have to be some time my mom was still alive.
