this is a girl named amber. i don't know if i'm really a girl anymore, but i feel like one. i'm 23 - 24 in june.

i live in new jersey in two places. one is with my parents when i visit. one is at my apartment, an hour away. i love both locations.

i graduated from rowan university with a BA in english and a cert in secondary education. i thought for a very long time that i was going to go to grad school, but i was gently persuaded to consider giving it a year or two in the teaching field before i make that decision. right now i'm in a "transitional period."

i thought i had my life in order. i loved a boy named daniel for three years, and he was the most happiness i have ever known. i was so wounded by the sudden end of our relationship that i sometimes wonder if i even have emotions anymore. there isn't much i can really say about it except that i just don't feel the same anymore.

i am very honest - sometimes offensively so. i love my cats, my family, and my close friends. i'm very old fashioned but very modern. i don't have many friends because i like real, unpretentious, motivated, creative people. apparently they are few and far between. i'm shy, but i think i'm cute. i'm only 5'4". all i want in life is love, happiness, and my family. the rest will work itself out.
