Hey y'all... Amelia here!

Hey y'all!  (Yeesssss, I do say "y'all" -- quite frequently, actually.  And if you're a country-phobe, don't do something nice to me because I will call you "darlin".)  

My name is Amelia and I'm co-blogging here with Gianne! :)

Quick Bio

I'm eighteen-years-old (so technically an adult, but don't hold me to that) and I recently graduated high school.  I'm taking a year off before heading to college, using this newly granted spare time to work on my book.  Yes, I am a writer.  Yes, I get distracted easily by shiny objects.  Be nice to me or I'll put you in my book, and kill you.

A Bit Longer Bio

I run my own blog, The Authoress: Book Reviews & More, but when Gianne put up a post saying she was looking for a co-blogger, my interest was piqued.  I've always thought co-blogging would be a super cool thing to do and, since I already knew Gianne was awesome, I applied.  Luckily, she must've thought I was pretty awesome too! :) 

In addition to being a huge reader and writer, I also do graphic design.  Focusing mostly on bloggers, I offer free graphics at my site The Graphic Files.  (That's how I met Gianne!)  Besides that, I dabble at playing the piano, reading about psychology, reorganizing my bookshelves, watching Golden Girls, Sherlock, Numb3rs, The Mentalist, NCIS and NCIS: Los Angeles, and ultimately trying not to demolish the little shred of a social life I have left.

I'm a bit random -- my mind tends to function like a pachinko machine.  Paradoxically, I'm also incredibly organized.  I like to always have a task, and when I decide to do something, I do it -- I don't second guess often.  I love iCal and lists -- my god, I adore lists.  I wouldn't function without my Sharpie pen and butterfly-decorated pad of paper.

What I'll Be Doing Here

Gianne is swamped with AP classes -- all the power in the world to her.  I took one AP class my junior year of high school... Never again.  My one experience with the world of higher academics has given me a great sympathetic capacity for those still in the trenches.  So whatever Gianne wants me to do here, I shall do. :) Sometimes memes, sometimes reviews, sometimes giveaways, maybe a blog tip post here and there.  Keep a look out!
