Introduction to…stuff.
So I was trying to think of things to tell you, because apparently this is confession time.
I am Amanda Ching
Uh. I used to be a high school English teacher, but I haven't in a while, for many reasons I don't know I like to talk about.
I was married to a dude named Tianyu Ching for a while, but in April of 2006 he killed himself, and everything sort of fell apart. I was pregnant with our kid, Viola Kenshin, aka VSTROYER OF WORLDS, and so I chose to live off his death benefits and raise her, ...
