“Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgement that something else is more important than fear.” ~ Ambrose Redmoon
I'm rather thankful that I am not cursed with an abundance of irrational fear; the only thing I really fear is loss of the people I care about - and I will do pretty much anything to prevent that happening, other than that you can throw pretty much anything else you want at me.

Such an awesome cosplay, inspiration for the expo next year perhaps?
I’m not exaggerating when I say this post changed my life. Seeing this as a terrified self hating 17 year old was like finding a fresh water lake in the middle of the Sahara.
It'll probably come as a surprise to... absolutely no-one... that my subject for this post is none other than my girlfriend of nearly a year - Amanda.
As I mentioned - we've been together for nearly a year (11 months as of the 4th of Feb) but strangely it feels like much less, we're still learning things about each other and making each other laugh with our foibles and little in jokes that are growing daily in both complexity and quantity.
Amanda herself is the most amazing girlfriend I could ask for - both physically beautiful and the most wonderful and kind person I have ever met. She's not afraid to be different from most of the other women her age - keeping a level head and logical mind that I've not seen from many adults whilst still able to do the cutest and craziest things without much shifting of mental gear. Her kindness and consideration knows no limit - she truly is a beautiful person inside and out.
Apologies to anyone who may think I waffled somewhat - perhaps that's what love does to a person.
All that's left to say is: I LOVE YOU AMANDA!!
