welcome
I'm Amy. I'm growing up. And this is my past, present, and future.
I know you'll come in the night like a thief.
But I’ve had some time alone to hone my lying technique.
I know you think that I’m someone you can trust.
But I’m scared I’ll get scared and I swear I’ll try to nail you back up.
So do you think that we could work out a psalm?
So I’ll know it's you and that it's over so I won't even try.
I know you'll come for the people like me.
But we all got wood and nails,
And talk dirt at hating factories.

My name is Amy. I'm a Gemini. I'm 25 years old. I'm a struggling artist, and an overly opinionated martyr of my beliefs. My past experiences, no matter how petty or dramatic they were, molded me into who I am today. I'm still changing every day.
I'm an artist. I love to draw and make things in photoshop [such as this blogger layout]. I also love music; I dabble in piano a little bit. I only know how to play other songs, of course. Nothing original. I like to write as well. Pretty much anything that involves the arts is something I enjoy doing. It gets me through the day and gives me a chance to express myself.
I have many friends who have come and gone, some who are even enemies now. Regardless, they've taught me a lot. I've learned to be more humble, tolerant, and kind, but also I've learned things like never to trust anyone completely off the bat, and to usually expect the worst. I'm generally pretty pessimistic and I think irrationally, but that's a nasty habit I'm trying to break. My intentions are good. That's something I must always remind myself and everyone else of. I have anxiety but I'm learning to control it better every day. This time a year ago it was impossible for me to socialize, but nowadays it's easier. Time mends everything.
I'm not really good at these self-describing things anymore. If you want to know me, ask me yourself. :3

Wreck
Yesterday I got into my first car wreck. It was very very scary.
Phillip was driving. We were on our way to Germantown to see fireworks. I was in the passenger seat, Bo was behind me, next to him was John's skanky girlfriend, and then John. They were all not wearing seatbelts, only me and Phillip were. We were driving down Macon, and he was about to turn left to head northbound on Whitten. It was a yellow light on both ends, and a red VW Jetta was coming straight our way. She had the rightaway, Phillip was supposed to wait for her to pass before he turned, but he was fucking distracted [he always multitasks when he drives] and all I saw was a red car barreling towards us, Bo yelled "PHILLIP!!" and then I heard a crash, tires screeching, and another crash. We got jolted around a little bit. I wanted to start crying. Bo jumped out and ran to see if the driver was okay. Her car had spun out and hit a pole [a tiny Jetta hitting a huge Tahoe going 40 mph, of course that would happen, we hardly budged and none of us were harmed thank God] and the left side of her car was completely dented in, and the left mirror was on the trunk of the car, and the back left wheel had snagged onto the curb and looked bent. Her car was totaled. She was sitting on the grass, crying, thankfully conscious, I don't know if she had any other passengers but if so they weren't hurt. She had a bump on her head and a few scratches on her arm. She claimed to have a piece of glass stuck in her lip, but I didn't see any blood so I doubted it. She went to the hospital just to be safe [I would have, too.] she was scared and crying, but she wasn't angry, she just said "I guess we were both trying to beat the yellow light, and misjudged it." We were there for HOURS. I hope I don't have to go to court with him. His front light got knocked out, the one underneath it was hanging off the bumper, and his bumper had been knocked in and was scraping against his tire. It was undriveable. Ironically, a cop was sitting RIGHT where Phillip was about to turn and saw the whole thing, so we didn't have to call ourselves and wait half an hour for lazy Memphis police. we were lucky he was right there. Bo called an ambulance and eventually everything was worked out. Phillip was at fault, but only got a ticket. I tell ya though, it was a really scary experience. I've never been in a car wreck. I hope the girl will be okay.
