My life (in as many posts as its takes) #4

Hey everyone! Its been quite a weekend, with my sister Grace's birthday on Friday, volunteering at the pantry on Saturday and reading three (kinda short) books yesterday and today I'm sitting at the Hospital where my sister Rose volunteers, spending the day hanging out. =)
To be honest I'm exhausted so this isn't going to be a long post. But I will tell you I'm halfway through CampNaNoWriMo with 5.000 of a short story, now I'm winding down twords the big fanally. =) I'm ten pages away from the end of Robin Hood and its like trying to go against the current to get it done. =P 
Anyway, I promised pictures of my room (I'll be getting some better general photos next week), so today I'll show you my desk, my favorite part of my room. =)

Interveiw with Mandy

Hey this is Amanda McMullen, but I go by Mandy. Mikayla is coming down with a cold so she asked if I would write a post for her and introduce myself to ya’ll and since I love meeting new people this was a no brainier. I’m going to start off the introduction by telling you Rebekkah (Mikayla’s older sister) thinks that Mikayla just made me up for one of her books. As if anyone believes her. To prove it here’s a picture of me:

Via Pintrest
See, perfectly real.
Anyway, on to the real introduction. I’m fifteen, I love reading, I have a collection of semi awesome jackets, the leather ones are my favorite. Ever since my mom died when I was ten I’ve gone to boarding school in South Carolina, that’s pretty cool.
I only have one sister, Aubrey, who is three years older than me. I would introduce you to her but she’s on *sigh* another trip around the world, she’s a bit of an odd ball.
My dad is an international agent for his firm so he travels a lot, so most of the time I only get to see him and Aubrey once a year at Christmas. All the other Holidays I spend with my roommate, Corry’s, family. I don’t mind so much but I do miss my family.
Don’t get me wrong, my life’s not one big sob story or something, if I had the choice I would not change a single detail of my life, even my mom dyeing because I know it’s all happening for some reason.
What’s my story about? Well, as Mikayla will tell you I’m not much of an adventurist
Mikayla: Believe me she’s not
See, but on my way back to the boarding school from a bike ride I happened upon a man being mugged in an ally I managed to scare off the mugger and the muggy, a guy in his mid-twenty’s (Who told me his name was Matt), passed out and I got so scared I ran away. But by time I got back to my boarding school I was semi calm again and I managed to tell my whole story to the principle, who in turn took me to the police where I had to repeat the whole story.
A week later they still hadn't found any trace of the mugger or Matt even after a careful search of the place. But then it happened. I got kidnapped. It turns out something more was going on that night then I thought. Well, I won’t ruin anymore for you. You’ll just have to wait until Mikayla is done writing the story for me, for while I’m a great reader I don’t write very much. Not to mention I’ve got a lot of tests coming up.
Goodness knows when Mikayla will be done with it though. She’s a VERY slow writer and never seems to get any project done in a timely manner. *Sigh* And my book seems to have been shoved aside for some menial editing. Ha. Like that's nearly as fun as writing.
Well, I had better be going. Thank you all for having me!

P.S. Would ya'll like to see any more interviews with me or my friends?

My life (In as many posts as it takes) #3

Hey, I was going to be really awesome and show you around my room today, but I went into the post and discovered that I had not uploaded the correct photos and I can't do upload photos at home! I'm sorry! So today you will just have to make due with random photos that I uploaded awhile back. *Apologetic smile* I will attempt to get those photos as quickly as possible. =/ 
I just want to say thank you to all who commented, it made me EXTREMELY happy! =D



This is how my kitten, Tothless, sleeps most of the time. Isn't it adorable? =D

We picked a lot of wild blackberry's. 




This is one of my favorite water shots.

My mom loves dasiys. =)

You've probably seen a lot of photos like this on my blog, sorry, I just love them. =) 



A branch that grew right over a wire. =)

Birthday

Today is my fifteenth Birthday
For all of you who have lived to see me turn fifteen I congratulate you. Because if you've known me for very long you'd know that your chances of surviving me this long is amazing! 
So this is as much a celebration for you as it is for me! =D  
Considering I've hit everyone in my family in the head with my elbow this week I'm surprised they all survived. (I seem to be having trouble remembering that my elbow actually is attached to me. =P )
I'm kinda sad to see fourteen go, especially since everyone keeps asking me if I'm gotten my Drivers permit which I won't be getting till I'm seventeen at least. =P
If any of you have got the time please comment! It would be an amazing Birthday gift! =)
