New Blog, Who Dis?

Hi. I’m Amanda and, in case it isn’t totally clear from the title of this post, I am a dork. This is my second attempt to start a blog. I enjoy writing and find that I do a much better job expressing myself through the written word than I do when I speak. I hope to one day be a published author, so I want to practice my craft on a regular basis.

So, that’s why I started this blog, but how did I choose the name?

Well, ‘Manders’ is the nickname some friends from Australia used to call me. I’ve used it off and on for usernames for several games.

‘Multifaceted’ comes from an appreciation for alliteration and an aversion for making decisions. When starting a blog, YouTube channel, or other online content it’s recommended that you pick a subject to focus on and stick with that. Well, I am ignoring that advice. Rather than being concerned about growing large audience, I want a chance to write and express my thoughts on a variety of subjects in a way I don’t often have a chance to in my day to day life.

Here are a few subject I may cover on this blog.

Faith

My faith in Jesus Christ is the foundation for my life and the basis for how I make all my decisions and form all my opinions. Of course, that doesn’t mean the expression of my faith looks the same as every other believer. I will discuss how my faith affects my day to day living and attempt to give some more thorough explanations for my more controversial views.

Media

I enjoy movies, television shows, books, YouTube videos, podcasts, and some music. I will discuss some of my favorites in each of this mediums and review those I have recently perused.

Games

If you have my met me in person, you know that I am awkward. I hate small talk and have to force myself to attempt ‘normal’ human conversation. I think this is one of the main reasons I enjoy games, besides the fact that they are a ton of fun. When I am playing games I don’t feel pressured to think of something arbitrary to discuss and I feel relaxed and connected to the people I am playing with. And, I am slightly competitive. “Slightly.”

I enjoy a variety of games from board, card, party, role play, handheld (Nintendo DS), and mobile (i.e. phone/tablet).

Whole Health

I am doing my best to become the healthiest version of myself I can be. You can witness my journey here.

Travel

I love traveling and lived outside the U.S. for four years. I will share tips for traveling and planning, share pictures and stories from my experiences, and dream about future adventures here.

And Disney

I love Disney. Maybe not as much as some, but I do love it. I will share my favorite Disney related items, news, and opinions here.

Thank you for joining me on this second literary journey of mine. I hope it helps you get to know me a bit better and that you will comment your opinions so I can get to know you better too.
