Amy's Bio

I usually explain my near savant like knowledge of football and love for the game like this: I have brothers. And I went to USC. That shuts about 50% of inquisitors up. heh.

So yeah, About Me. I figured it was time I put something on this page for my readers and (hopefully there are no) stalkers. (Cause that stalking isht? Is Not Funny. I know. I was stalked last year. Grrrrr. He was not a sports fan, for the record.)

But I digress. Hi! I’m Amy, and I am Your Gridiron Goddess. I am a West Coast based writer and fanatical USC Trojan fan. I was born in Chicago, so claim as my birthright my love for Da Bears, The Cubbies, Da Bulls and even the White Sox. My family moved to Las Vegas when I was in 6th grade and they all still pretty much reside in Nevada. I moved to Los Angeles in 1987 to go to the University of Southern California where I majored in changing my major, staying in school forever, and being the best damn Delta Gamma ever. ha ha. In all seriousness, I majored in Creative Writing and Art. Minored in French and Critical Studies.

For being such an avid football fan–well, sports fan, but specifically football as the anointed favorite –in college and my 20s I dated a lot of guys who were not so much on board with the whole loving of the sports thing. And yeah I thought it was weird too. For the record, those boys–they did not have brothers. Or fathers present in their lives. They had divorced moms and sisters. Maybe this explains it, I don’t know. Although I am pretty sure if I ever have kids, single, divorced or happily coupled–my kids will all be huge football and sports fans and not so much with the soap operas and Miss America pageants.

    I looked up infatuated and realized the several meanings that came up were perfect:
    - Possessed by an unreasoning passion or attraction
    - carried away by an intense and unreasoning passion for someone
    - marked by foolish or unreasoning fondness
    - obsessed, captivated, carried away, inflamed, beguiled, smitten, intoxicated, spellbound
    - enamoured, enraptured, under the spell of, head over heels in love with, swept off your feet

    G.G. ~ I never heard back from you after I told you how infatuated I was with you.
    So, what are you doing to do for the next few months until football starts again?
    After March Madeness, there isn't anything for us to do until August!
    XOXOXOXO,
    Joe

    Amy,
    I just joined over here not too long ago after spending time at AGM, this is where I first saw your stuff.

    I did the wrestling (college) stories over there as "InterMat."

    Nice to see a familiar face.
