I'm actually surprised that you hadn't met Amanda before. She's been around fandom for a bit now and she's amazingly exuberant while still being quiet at times. Sorry, I don't know her terribly well, but I do like her quite alot. She & Robert keep exchanging numbers and meaning to hang out, but it never seems to quite work out. I'm just glad that she's been able to grow into her own and really isn't seen (from what I can tell, anyway) much as a child of fandom so much as a fan herself.

Glad you made this cool connection, though.
