I met Manda quite some time ago, we talked online through a MCR fan community we were both part of, and after e-mailing back and forth a ton, we began to talk through IM's, and the telephone, growing super close! It eventually turned into visits to Toronto, Chicago, and Maine, and we grew tighter as friends, and continue to do so! This girl is one of my best friends in the world, and I'd be lost without her!

If you don't know: Manda is the owner of this here rad site, and here's a special tidbit for you: this is actually Sound Faction 2.0, we had a trial run of it about a year and a half ago, but due to our schedules at the time, couldn't keep it up. So you can thank Manda for the concept of The Sound Faction, and for bringing the Staff all together to run this!

I met Manda when she came down to visit Caity a couple of summers ago, and we all beat a Dora the Explorer pinata and set it on fire. During that trip, I realized that she was all sorts of cool (I'm mean, she helped spray Dora's head with Axe and stuff it full of sparklers, which makes her cool in my book.)

When I got to see Manda in her native environment, things were even better with events such as getting completely soaked at Warped Tour and costuming it up for the Dark Knight premiere (Harley Quinn FTW.)

After being in Toronto for 10 days, I can finally see why all of her friends are so protective of her. She's just adorable. :)

I met Manda through Jen. The first time I actually got to talk to her was at the Silverstien show back in February of this year. And it was like an instant connection. Its no wonder we call her the baby sister because we always want to take care of our little one and protect her from everything.

I met Amanda at a My Chemical Romance concert. She sat down in line beside me, and since there was somewhat of an issue at the MCR show the night before with people cutting in line, I thought I would just let her know that I had two other people who were just parking the car. and this might sound funny, but within minutes I knew I had met someone who looks at life, and music and all the fun stuff, the same way I do!

What really surprised me though, was how she seemed almost really shy, but then once we got talking she didn't hesitate to lift up her shirt and show me the wicked awesome MCR tattoo she's got on her side. I remember feeling like, an almost instant connection with Amanda for the simple fact that we have so much in common. And at the time that we met, we were both going through some stuff in our lives that were pretty much the same, and I felt I could talk about it better with her, someone i'd just met, then someone I'd known for years. She too is like a sister to me, and I am really happy that I met her! She also introduced me to the Twilight series, which makes me love her even more!
