This is my first entry in my Journal and where better to start than about me?

I'm 18 years old and live on my own in a cruddy apartment, my name is Andrew Ammerman. I own an ebay run business selling collectable cards, I'm usally selling other things like collectible video games, vintage comic books, and sometimes some really odd stuff, like an ATV(yes a real ATV), an antique wedding dress(do you know how ******** hard it is to price one of these?), and Super Shooter Cookie Cutter. But mostly collectable cards. About 3 months ago I was kicked out of my house by my mother, I was still in High School at the time. So, I spent about 2 weeks house hopping until I found my apartment. With a strong ambistion to expand my business into a managable income to support me living on my own I dropped out of high school, which turned out to be one of the best desisitions in my life. After dropping out of high school I took a PGED, I can't take the real GED until my class graduates. But with scores much higher than the average high school dropout, which turns out not to be all that impressive, I was offered a deal that I couldn't refuse from a community college. Basicly I test an "advanced" math program for them and comment on it as a learning tool towards GED students and they pay for 30 credits in college, the equivelant for about $8,000 of education. So, I desided to go for it since an associated degree will over shadow my GED just in case my business doesn't make the conversion to retail in about 2 years.

I'm pretty laid back and I never push my problems on others, because of this none of my freinds know just how hard it is living on your own, and how hard it is to experiance something like having your mother turn her back on you and kick you out of the house that you call home. I never tell anyone my feelings and even though I don't cry, things like being kicked out on my a** and the hard times of lonely living. Basicly I look forward to week-ends where I can hang out with friends back in the town where I went to highschool.

I'm a real geek, I competitvely play a number of card games. I play Dungoens and Dragons, and I play lots, and lots of video games. Basicly, video games get me through the week with my sanity. I refuse to take any drugs, I don't drink and I hate smokers with a passion. I'm currently single, I have been since I was kicked out of my mothers house, I have gone out on dates since but nothing that ended up anything more than a couple of rounds in the sack. I'm currently debating if I want a to get a serious girl freind, it might have to wait until I can get my life in more order, however I would like someone to live with me in my apartment.

Basicly that's the recent me, I probably won't go any farther back from that but in future enteries I'll post about occurances in my life, mostly funny ones.

Well, I'm out,
Ammerman.

P.S. I'll have a pic of me an my mustache up soon.
