About the author

Amanda Elizabeth Brigid Heimdal is a fun loving girl who loves long walks on the beach, dancing in the moon light, and cat memes. She is funny yet pessimistic, and loves to express herself through writing and interpretive dance.


She is that attractive friend that is slightly less attractive than her attractive friends. She is often caught out in town wearing yoga pants, a tank top, and flannels. She tends to look like the lesbian of the group. Some of her hobbies involve whining until she gets what she wants, screaming lyrics to songs she knows and making up the ones she doesn't, losing things immediately after putting them down, morbid humor that makes others cringe, and she dabbles with Shakira impressions.


But she does not go unloved. She is very energetic but loves sleep and cuddles. She is a huge fan of being told she is pretty and fed. She loves photography, but is not quite sure why photography doesn't love her. She honestly believes that the camera adds 50lbs. She has terrible vision and taste in men. She loves all things cows, cheese, and potatoes. If she could go on a romantic date anywhere it would be to Portillos to share two large cheese fries with herself. She feels passionate about body image, but probably wouldn't if she looked like that models that she bitches about.

She is very thoughtful and can remember anyone's birthday except for her mother's. Whoops. She is an advocate for tattoos and eating meat, because she believes that these things are not sacrilege. God created the earth, he is obviously not drawing the line at the tattoo shops and deli isle. She believes the world should be less judgmental and could be more empathetic to others around them. This stems from her old cranky polish grandmother's cynicism and deeply rooted racism.




This is my Final Portfolio for college writing II, and even though not all of my writings could incorporate my voice or humor I would like my readers to know what kind of personality is behind these writings. I honestly have a lust for life, and deeply care for others. Enjoy.
