L’amanda is from a poem I wrote that goes monchichi haheehee fasolati l’amanda. The apostrophe is important. I love LA, gardening, making jewelry, yoga, rock shows, dodger games, fixing up vintage dresses so they look and fit awesome, feng shui, hiking and you know, like, stuff. lamandahugnkiss [at] gmail [dot] comTumblr (3.0; @lamanda)http://lamanda.tumblr.com/<img src="http://9.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kultw4H7dU1qzo0h7o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>perfect day so far</p>http://lamanda.tumblr.com/post/281963272http://lamanda.tumblr.com/post/281963272Sun, 13 Dec 2009 10:55:00 -0800<p>Is a great word</p>http://lamanda.tumblr.com/post/281350948http://lamanda.tumblr.com/post/281350948Sat, 12 Dec 2009 23:01:38 -0800<embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://lamanda.tumblr.com/swf/audio_player.swf?audio_file=http://www.tumblr.com/audio_file/281110467/tumblr_kuknvhELsk1qzo0h7&color=FFFFFF" height="27" width="207" quality="best"></embed><br/><br/><p>the fiery furnaces - <i>waiting to know you</i></p>http://lamanda.tumblr.com/post/281110467http://lamanda.tumblr.com/post/281110467Sat, 12 Dec 2009 19:47:41 -0800<img src="http://1.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kuknfmAW9C1qzo0h7o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>rainy rainy day in los angeles</p>http://lamanda.tumblr.com/post/281098385http://lamanda.tumblr.com/post/281098385Sat, 12 Dec 2009 19:38:10 -0800<a href="http://scpr.org/news/2009/12/11/downey-woman-goes-missing-after-visiting-downtown-/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+893KpccSouthernCaliforniaNews+%28KPCC%3A+News%29">be careful ladies!</a>: <p>Amy Serrano was last seen by her girlfriends at La Cita Bar having a drink with a man in his 20s, said Los Angeles Police Lt.
