   I can’t help but notice that the flyer for the Carnival has the same artistic stylings as Amanda’s coyote sticker… Random observation lol.

   I’ll be there every night. Just Desserts is sponsoring a booth s0o i’m working @ the carnival for extra hours. =D

   Saturday, like from 5-7, Delilah is working s0o I get an hour of free time to hang out with my friends so i’ll get to keep an eye out while enjoying some hang out time.

   Hey another observation, that girl in the poster looks like Amanda no doubt
   but she also resembles Aamina, (Zakira Shah’s niece (Mdm. Zee of Madame Zee’s Psychic Readings)

   Which reminds me…. someone should stick around Mdm Zee’s tent at the carnival. Amanda hung out @ the shop sometimes and might visit the tent to talk to Madame Zakira.

   Carnival! Yay!
   :)
   I’ll be there, both days, keeping a look out.
   (Someone whack me if I get distracted by the rides and games, okay?)
   Lol.

   Maybe there is a connection between the Cards and the Carnival.  Amanda did say that she learned divination there.  Maybe Amanda lived with the circus and she had to leave because of something.  I remember that Amanda loved circuses and she used to say that she missed watching a certain circus.  Maybe this circus is it.  My guess is that what ever happened to her had a connection to the circus.

   I agree with AwsomeAnna93 that does look like the style of Amandas coyote sticker. I was at the carnival last night and i hung out around Madame Zakiras tent from 4-7 with Erin but we didn’t see anyone that looked like Amanda (but then again we never know what she will look like). I am going again tonight from 4-8 with Erin, Jackie and Caty and we will be on the look out for anyone mysterios looking. I’ll report back here after. be back soon.

   P.S. If anyone else dicides to go report here after to. Although i’d like to we cant be everywhere at once.

   I’ll be at the carnival tonight you can count on that! Plus I have no problem hanging around Madame Zakiras tent, I might get my fortune told…
   and don’t worry about me getting distracted by the ferris wheel. I hate hights!

   Anyways Amanda always told me stories about her life in the carnival. One was about a worker there who got bit by a cayote after that they called her “Cayote Girl”!?!? Her name was Mariesa Cuold I am going to see if she is there tonight…she might just have something to tell about Amanda…

   Guys! I think I saw Amanda! Today at the Carnival, behind Madame Zakiras’ tent. I’m not completely sure but the girl I saw looked a lot like Amanda and she was wearing a platinum blonde wig.

   I went with my brother and then we met some friends there. So it was around 7:00-7:30 and I started feeling a little thirsty so I said to my brother I was going to go buy something while they lined up for Ferris Wheels. Ok, somehow after I bought some drinks for everyone I got lost. I couldn’t find my way back and I had no idea which way I had to go. I started walking without really knowing where I was going and somehow I ended up behind Madame Zakira’s tent. Everything was dark and at first I didn’t realize I was behind her tent.

   I called my brother and he said to stay there. So I did. I was waiting for him when I heard voices. I’m not usually curious about other people’s conversations but one of the voices sounded familiar. As stealthy as I could I approached them to hear their conversation. However I only heard murmurs since there was so much noise. As I tried to get closer to at least get a better look at the girl’s face; my brother startled me by putting a hand on my shoulder. I only turned to look at him for a second since I didn’t know it was him, I thought it was a security guard or something (since people aren’t really allow to wander around there). Anyhow, when I looked back to where Madame Zakira and the girl, who I think was Amanda, were talking there were gone.

   After that I wanted to go to Madame Zakira’s tent but my brother pulled me away saying the others were waiting for me. I knew he was right, so reluctantly I went with him. After the ride on the Ferris Wheels I still went back but I couldn’t go into the tent since mom called saying we had to go back. I’m going tomorrow to see if that girl is there and to see if she really was Amanda.

   Hey guys, I worked the night @ the Just Desserts stand @ the Carnival.
   I kept an eye out for anything unusual and I saw this girl w/ a black hoodie on. I was trying to see her face but I couldn’t. She did seem to have blonde hair.
   I was going to go up to her when the I-crew (that’s what i call them when the dudes are w/ them and the mini I’s) came up to the stand and ordered like a million things =X.
   But, I’m thinking I saw the same girl that Yori saw.

   After we locked up the stand and stuff, I walked over of Mdm Zee’s tent to see if anyone was still there. Madame Zakira wasn’t there (i’m guessing she went to go get her van to load up her stuff) but Aamina was.

   We talked about psychic stuff and tarot cards and things like that. She told me that she knew Amanda well since she used to hang out at the shop. She said Amanda used to lovee reading her aunt’s books on divination. Apparently, Madame Zakira owns a very antique collection of books on divination and methods like taromancy, astronomy, palmistry, oneiromancy, etc. (She said that if we need to use any of the books to help find Amanda, she’ll let us look at them)

   Something that totally caught my interest is that she started talking to me about numerology. She said that she heard that it a big trend among indian hindus and I told her that i’ve never used it before and she’s like ohh I should look into it.
   So when I came home I looked up something on Numerology and found a site taht does a quick online reading of your name.. Mine came out like 95% accurate which is kind of odd..

   So I did Amanda’s and here’s what I got::
   When I looked up Amanda, i got : http://www.sanatansociety.org/vedic_astrology_and_numerology/indian_numerology_7.htm

   When I looked up Amanda Valentino, i got:

   Yesterday I was at the carnival it was so much fun!
   Anyways remember how yesterday I was telling you about cayote girl? Well I met her! And I think I know where the tarot cards are…Anyways “cayote girl” is really this girl named Mareisa Cuold. Anyways she seems to attract cayotes…strange right? Anyways once she got bitten and they came to her more and more. Thats when they started calling her cayote girl. Anywyays I went to get tickets because even though I do NOT like most carnival rides I DO like the spinning teacups. And I dropped a ten doller bill. Anyways there on the bottom of the ticket booth was a sticky note that said: Check her leg, don’t tell her about me! With a cayote sticker on it, meaning it is authentically from Amanda! So as I stood up I asked “Cayote Girl” about Amanda. I swear as soon as I said Amanda’s name her face lit up then fell. “Amanda used to travel in the circus/carnival circuit then she ran away. Amanda was my best friend and she had a contract for life. They are looking for her now, anything we know must be presented to them they are looking for her.’ Anyways now we know there are other people after her, but why is she so scared of them? Anyways there is more and I didn’t tell Cayote Girl anything! I swear. “I knew Amanda she was kind of like a sister to me…but then she dissapeared. Anyways when she lived in Charlestown with me she told me about you, and your cayote bite. Can you show it to me?” I said that I lived in Charlestown so she wouldn’t find the cayote girl stickers or our responce stickers. Anyways the cayote bite was on her right leg. And written in sharpie under the cayote bite was: Mdm A, Mdm Z. Meaning that Amanda was going to be theh
   next Mdm Z. No suprise there right.  Well I thought about how we got the clues about the tarot cards and then everything seems to be pointing to Mdm Z. And how Amanda was going to be “the next Mdm Z” meaning she would use the tent used now… and I think that Amanda has laid a good path of clues but we were a little to dense to get the point. I think that the tarot cards are in Mdm Z’s tent. I mean it IS kind of obvious! So I am going to find them tonight.

9. AwesomeAnna93 10.25.2009

   Hey Mackenzie,
   The coyote (not cayote) girl sticker is a representation of Amanda. Her totem is the coyote s0o therefore she is coyote girl.

   But,there is a coyote girl in the circus though. =]
   Mareisa Cuold is the coyote girl.  I’ve read about it in an interview with the Cuold family in the Orion Times archives.
   Her parents are circus people, acrobats if i’m not mistaken. When she was 5, the circus was in Arizona. The circus owner had brought wild coyotes from someone who was raising them for a show. Mareisa being a curious toddler and an animal lover, went up to the coyotes when no one was watching and attempted to play with them. One of them attacked her and that’s how she has the mark on her leg. As for the whole attracting coyotes thing, it’s most likely not true. Mareisa wants to be an animal trainer and that’s where the whole attracting coyotes thing came along. She only attracts the circus coyotes because she’s their trainer.
   But as a circus entertainer, they attract children and their families by telling them fanciful stories.

   
   As for the next Madame Zakira, Amanda can’t be the next Madame Z…

   Madame Zakira Shah owns Madame Zee’s Psychic Readings and started the business herself. If anything was to happen to her, the business would be passed down to a relative, such as Mdm.Zee’s older sister. But her sister isn’t a fan of divination. She lives in a New York with her husband and two sons and younger daughter and works in a normal office in Manhattan. But, Aamina (the daughter of Mdm Zakira’s sister) moved to Orion to live with her aunt because of her interest in the art of divination. If Aamina’s mum inherits the business.. mostly likely Aamina will run it because she knows how to handle it. So if anything Aamina would be Mdm A. but I doubt she’d change her name to Madame Aamina or the name of her aunt’s store. She’ll just be Aamina, owner of Madame Zee’s Psychic Readings.  And I don’t think Madame Zakira is going anywhere for sometime… she loves what she does and isn’t passing down that business anytime soon. (She’s only 35)

   *Amanda doesn’t use normal tarot cards. She has her own special oracle.

   
   ( about my last post. I think i missread it so ignore the whole numerology part)

10. Jess 10.25.2009

    When i was at the carnival, i played the thing where you bang a hammer and see how hard you hit it.  i won a stuffed coyote from how hard i hit the hammer, when i got home i went to put the coyote beside my bed, knowing i would put it there from the moment i won it.  When i lifted my jeans that were on the floor where i was putting my coyote, i saw a coyote sticker underneath of them…..

11. Caroline 10.25.2009

    I looked around the carnival and didn’t find anything so I went to the ferris wheel to get a better look. No clues. I went to the fortune teller but didn’t pay attention to her. I was looking around for clues but didn’t see any. I left the fortune teller and the I-Girls started harassing me so I just went home early. Sounds like you guys did a good job looking though :)

12. Kenzi 10.25.2009

    The Next Mdm Z was just a nickname. And I was trying to keep the story short! I mean I didn’t think that fact was very important. Anyways I’ll see yah at the carnival tonight.

13. Yori 10.26.2009

    I just got back from the Carnival. I tried looking for the girl from yesterday but I had no luck. You’re right, AwesomeAnna93, that was the girl I saw. (Sorry I forgot to mention what she was wearing.) She was wearing jeans and snickers (looked pretty normal except for the wig.)

    I hung around Mdm Z’s tent for a few hours today but then I realized it was not a good idea. What were the chances of meeting the girl at the same place. I walked around the Carnival a few times. Didn’t find her anywhere. It is probable she wasn’t even there.

    I was about to go back home since it was already 9:30. I passed by Mdm Z’s tent and I don’t know why but I just went in and got a reading. I don’t usually believe in fortune telling but I thought that maybe I might find something. So, I got my reading and then she said this: “some has left a mark on you,” I thought immediately of Amanda. She did have a great impact on me. “she is someone who is dear to you, however she is not with you anymore.” she made a pause and smiled. My cell rang before she could say anything else and I had to go home. I was so disappointed but I noticed something. Behind the the sign to welcome guests there was a Coyote Sticker. Amanda was there.

    I went to the carnival last night. I wore my abercrombie long-sleeves,but it was surprisingly hot. Good thing I brought my back-up shirt. So I was trying to find a place to change my top when something or specifically a group of people got my attention. They were wearing fluffy garments with various colors for each. They were also wearing plain white masks,that reminds me of clowns. They give you a light feeling,a very good aura. But they weren’t the only one parading around the carnival. Behind them were another group of people. But they were very dark. What I meant to say is,they wear dark clothing. It’s either black or gray. When they walk all at the same time, they were like levitating. You won’t be able to see their feet on the ground because of the clothes that they were. They too were wearing masks but now it is silver. If the other group reminds me of clowns,this one reminds me of death eaters. But no they didn’t have wands with them. I don’t know if it’s just a coincidence but they stopped in front of Madame Zakira’s tent. Then the first group did an interpretive dance & the other group joined in the dance. If you were watching it will look like that both group is fighting or opposing the other. It was more like light versus dark.

    After their dance,there was a loud sound and you can find confetti everywhere. A girl came beside and said something to me.

    “There was never a good war or a bad peace.”

    But I didn’t see her face because of all the confetti. When I did had the chance to remove the confetti on my view,the girl was gone. It was strange,yes, but something that she said strike me at some point. I went straight home with the words that she said repeating in my head over and over again. Did anybody see anything strange when the two groups were presenting?

15. LoganMcDonald 10.26.2009

    Yeah I saw the groups too. I was working at the funhouse, but I had just went on break when they walked by. One of the people in black robes moved his head in my direction. I wasn’t sure if he was looking at me or something, but then I noticed a piece of paper lying by my foot. I picked it up and looked at the Creepy-Black-Robe Guy, but he had already passed. I read the paper. It was a piece from the famous poem by Robert Frost.
    ‘I shall be telling this with a sigh  
    Somewhere ages and ages hence: 
    Two roads diverged in a wood, and I, 
    I took the one less traveled by, 
    And that has made all the difference.’
    There was a coyote sticker stuck to the back of the paper. A clue?

16. loser_you 10.26.2009

    naks naman!!!!!!!!!!!!

17. Kenzi 10.26.2009

    I saw the group…it was strange but there seemed to be one person out of place one person who didn’t know the dance. I think it was Amanda. It WOULD be a great disguise and a great way to deliver a clue.

    Last night was also a lucky night lets just say that I found the tarot cards! They also WERE in Mdm Z’s tent. What happened was that I went in for my reading but the tent was empty and on the table there was a note with a cayote sticker on it saying: In the drawer! So I did what the note said and found…
    (Sry gotta go to school)

18. Milana 10.26.2009

    I hung around the rides, mostly.  I love the ones that flip you up and down, and I’ve never gotten sick on one of them.  ;)  As I got off, though, a paper fluttered down from the seat.  I immediatly noticed the coyote sign drawn on the back, and flipped it over.  On the other side was, in AMANDA’S HANDWRITING, was this message:
    “Through the flips of life, you’ll never miss the view.”
    Amanda had told me that one day, when I was telling her about the Orion carnival, four days before she left.  Can anyone help interpret this?

19. LoganMcDonald 10.26.2009

    I got it! Can someone go back tonight and ride one of the flippy rides? She might have told Milana that you can see something important from one of them. Thanks Milana for the tip! See you guys at the tilt-a-whirl ;)

20. AwesomeAnna93 10.27.2009

    hey logan,

    sunday was the last night for the carnival sadly =[.

    
    here’s what i saw on sunday:
    well i had to work the jsut desserts stand (delilah got sick on sat and i did not get that hour of free time I was promised. but like two hours before closing on sunday the owner let me off to go hang out and took over my shift.)

    to close off the carnival they had like this mega performance and the last act was by this russian performing arts group which performed the Yin-Yang performance seen by most of you. the performance was most brilliant but it was a bit odd.

    Me and my friend were walking up to the circus stage because he wanted to get a pic w/ the performer girls (typical boys =X). We were up on the stage w/ the performers taking pictures and I was talking to one of the ‘dark’ guys.. he was superr duperr hot. lol. well yeah. but while we were up there, I couldn’t help but notice that like 3 of the performers were being a bit shadowy and not conversating and such. idk..

    At the end of the night, We met up with Laure and Gage Lefevre (apparently Monseiur Gage has won over the heart of our dear Mademoiselle Laure lol) who were walking out of the Psychic Nightmare Ride/Maze which they admitted was amazinggg.  i asked her if he’s seen/heard anything about AV and she said nope but she said that she’s seen a few kids snooping around the psychic tent so I told her about what was going on and that we expected to find something.

    
    now that’s over. we need to collect all the info we’ve found and make sense of it.

    here’s what i have to far:
    -Girl spotted. Looks like Amanda.
    -Girl on Orion Nights posters looks alot like coyote girl from stickers ( my solution to this one is that Hal designed the poster)
    -the i-girls are a pain in the rear end.

21. Kenzi 10.27.2009

    Hey! The I-Girls aren’t that bad!!

    Anyways back to my story-
    The note said to check the drawer, so I did. In it was a cloth package closed with a cayote sticker. I didn’t have enough time to check it though because Mdm Z came in the tent. So then I got my reading and FINALLY got to enjoy the fair.

    When I checked the package I saw that their were the tarot cards along with a book on how to use them and a really cute vintage cross. But here is the thing in the book there is a description that says:

    Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear - not absence of fear. -Mark Twain
    Happy Birthday, Amanda. Learn to master your fears and the sun will shine always. -Madame Z

    Underneath it says that to find what you are looking for you must do as th book says…
    What do you think this means? All throughout there are footnotes I am reading but I cant tell anything out of the ordinary.

22. LoganMcDonald 10.27.2009

    Were there any acronyms or possible codewords in the footnotes? Or maybe it’s just REEEEALLY obvious and we’re completely looking it over. Can you take a look at the footnotes again, MackenzieC?

    PS: Getting “icked” at by the I-Girls would be counted in the “bad” catergory if you ask me, but believe what you want about them.

23. Jess 10.27.2009

    Sorry Everyone, I posted this on Satuday, but just noticed that it did not go through, so.. here it goes….

    On Saturday Night, earlier in the night, i was at the carnival searching Madame Z’s tent, top to bottom, but nothing.  I was getting thirsty, so I went to get a drink from the concession tent.  Then I saw it, My heart sank to my feet and my body could not move.  On that little baby pine tree in between the two tents, there was a tarot card on the middle of the stump. But what made my heart skip a beat, was the there was only half a tarot card, the other was a….............coyote sticker.  They were ripped in half, each of them, and then taped together.  My brain told my feet to move, but i could not move an inch.  After a couple of minutes, i realized that maybe i should move before someone sees me or think I am being suspicious.  I went up to grab the card, and the second my body made contact with it, i felt a shiver go up my spine, in through my head.  i turned the card over, and it said two things, “life may seem wrong or hard, or the things you do may seem wrong or hard, but when you push through it to achive something amazing, it is all worht it.  people who find the wright path, and atke it will acheive what they wish.  people whoi dont, short cuts are hard to find, but are there.  when you find the wright path, you will find the light, and maybe even me. Always A…”  the second thing said.  “think about why you are looking where you are looking, because your time is ticking LOSERS!”  the first phrase was written in the most beautiful handwriting i have ever seen, it was flowy and light, barely there, but it was definitey there, and thea in always was amandas signature a, and the a after that.  i could tell that that writing was no imposter, it was amanda, noone so evil could write like that, i knew from deep in my heart.  the second phrase was dark, choppy, and disgusting.  i was like a lion wrote it, someone with a cold heart and no schooling!  definetly not amanda.
    on the half of the tarot card, ther was jibberish, it was a mixture of letters, that i had no idea what they meant, but did not feel any such foreign at all.  what i got out of the letters were
    “liatcbtm”
    i figured this out so far
    l - look
    i - in
    a -around
    t - the
    c - cave, cove, cult, cupcake

24. Kenzi 10.27.2009

    Well for one thing I don’t think that “evil” is after Amanda. But I looked through the footnotes and there was one thing that didn’t match up. “Through on through, heart of all hearts. Sun, rain. Look where both the sun shines and the clouds hide…” It doesn’t say what the clouds hide though? What could this possibly mean… I also found that in the book on the back it said in choppy, harsh printing: I KNOW THAT THIS IS STOLEN PROPERTY THAT YOU STOLE, SO RETURN IT BECAUSE YOU WILL NEVER FIND HER THIS WAY. THE WAY WE ARE DOING IT. WE WILL FIND HER BEFORE YOU COME CLOSE! And the rest of it was in that beautiful handwriting. I think that somebody is on our track…and they really want us so discouraged that we quit.

25. stef_stone 10.27.2009

    Hey everyone! I was one of the “mysterious” dancers in costume…I perform for a local troupe called Kallah Tree. We focus mostly on lyrical dances like the one we performed at the carnival. Anyways, we also noticed the out-of-step dancer during the performance. Before we could investigate, the person in our extra costume (we always bring a back-up, just in case) had run away! I agree, it definitely could have been Amanda.

26. I-GrlH8er 10.28.2009

    darlings just logged on and i never have enjoyed carnivals but i will help with school stuff.
    Jess honey great work, AwsomeAnna93 as u can see i agree w/ u i-girls are a pain
    Everyone DONT GIVE UP!!!!!
    Love I-GrlH8er

27. LoganMcDonald 10.28.2009

    Stef, where did you guys get ready for the dance? If anyone went there, maybe the could share some clues with us…? That’d be mucho appreciated. Thanks :)

28. Jess 10.28.2009

    I really do think that evil is involved with Amanda, why else would i have found what i found?
    i know it was not fake, i felt the vibe it gave off.

    thanx I-GrlH8er <3

29. stella94 10.28.2009

    I was at the carnival, too. After playing some games, I checked out the other activities. Like everybody else, Madame Z’s caught my eye, but so did something else- the figure sneaking out the back of her tent! I followed them for a while, but I think I was too loud—I’ve never been good at silent tracking :P. A branch the stranger pushed away smacked me in the face, and I went down. By the time I got up, they were gone. I think I know who it was, though, and it wasn’t Amanda…

    As some, but not all, of you know, I knew Amanda before she moved here. She lived down the street from my sister and I, and due to my mother, we didn’t see each other every day. But she used to tell me all about this kid she knew who she called, “Jetty”. I think she introduced me to them once or twice, but they always looked different. One time it was an emo guy. Another time, it was a little girl, maybe four! But the last time I remember really well. Amanda and I were walking down the street, and she noticed somebody on the other side. Then, being Amanda, she turned to me and said, “Jetty’s been getting better, don’t you think?” And she walked off in the opposite direction of whoever she noticed. It was busy, but I think I saw the last Jetty.

    Female, blonde hair, slim, dressed in green capris and an army shirt.

    I think the final Jetty was at the carnival that night.
    Does anybody else remember Amanda before she moved to Orion? Did she ever mention Jetty?

30. Jess 10.29.2009

    i have never heard of jetty before,  but i definetly dont doubt ya!

31. Kitty. 10.29.2009

    I went, but I didn’t notice anything.
    Maybe I’m just unobservant?

32. crummyblaire 10.29.2009

    Hey I meet Amanda before she got here in California.  I was on vacation for a month.  We hung out alot and she kept staring at this guy and she always whispered Jetty.  He looked at her once but she loked away hurriedly. I asked if she liked him and she just shushed me.
    While Amanda was in Orion she always drew pictures that looked like him.
    Also I want to give you this important but strange detail.  She always told me to never use the name or say the name Jetty.

33. stella94 10.29.2009

    That’s so Amanda. Jetty always referred to a different person.
    Or maybe a bunch of people in a group called “Jetty”... could somebody look that up and see what they can find out?

34. AwesomeAnna93 10.29.2009

    Hmm never heard of this jetty thing you’re talking about but I did some research on it.

    “La jetee” is a a french short film made in 1962 by Chris Walker. (We all know Amanda was a fan of anything to do w/ france)

    here’s the link to the movie’s wiki page:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Jetée

    even though the movie’s a sci-fi, see if you find anything that relates to amanda. my conclusion is that the only reason she kept calling people jetty or jetee is to bring your attention to the word because it relates to her somehow.

    (the urban dictionary term for jetty is quite derogative so i didn’t even state it on here but you can look it up yourself if you would like to)

    here is the wiki entry for jetty;
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jetty

35. stella94 10.29.2009

    Hey! I might have something!

    “Jetty” is from the French word for ” jetée” or “to throw”, like to throw something out. Maybe Amanda threw out other identities, or completely severed herself from her past and is making something new. That might be why she keeps changing her story. She might not be able to decide what she likes yet.

    Wikipedia also said this: “A jetty is a structure extending into a body of water, which protects a harbor or coastline from the effects of currents and tides”. Maybe Amanda’s protecting us from something, or the Jetty she keeps referring to is a team of people protecting her.

    DARN IT, AMANDA. I have school. You’re distracting me. You’re such a diva sometimes.

36. LoganMcDonald 10.29.2009

    I have no idea if this is relevant or not, but while bored in Math I wrote Amanda’s name all over my paper. I couldn’t get her out of my mind, it was like she was repeating “Amanda Valentino” into my ear over and over again. Finally I noticed that if you rearrange the letters in her name they can say “A van led a man into…” but since I didn’t have a middle name, I couldn’t finish the phrase. Does anyone know (1) Amanda’s middle name or (2) if her past identities happen to spell out anything? That could easily go hand in hand with the Jetty factor.

    So at the carnival this weekend something super wierd happened. I headed towards the bathroom after chugging down an entire liter of lemonade. A guy decked out in a black suit seemed to be standing a few yards away next to the concessions stands. He seemed to be watching people for no particular reason. When I came out of the bathroom I took out my cellphone to ask my friends where they were when someone tapped me on the shoulder. I turned around feeling bewildered to come face to face with the man in the black suit. What he told me was creepiest of all. He told me to stop looking for her…. I asked him who her was knowing full well who her was. He just stared at me knowingly, shook my hand and walked away. As he shook my hand he seemed to have slipped a crumpled piece of paper into my hand. It was a coyote girl sticker. By now I was hyperventilating. What could this mean? WHAT did Amanda get herself into??

38. Spencer_Hem 10.29.2009

    Totally being there. My little sister has to come. And I’m keeping a look-out there. Maybe go when their setting up? Out- smart her? Oh well. Okay so going to spend my time at the artsie booths and fortune telling place mayber? I dunno.

39. LoganMcDonald 10.29.2009

    Sorry Spencer, but the carnival was last weekend.

40. AwesomeAnna93 10.29.2009

    Hmm stella is on to something there.. but my interpretation of it is a bit different.

    
    A jetty protects the harbor. Like Amanda’s friends protect her from the wrath of the I-girls and all the kids who dislike her.

    I feel like those people she called ‘Jettys’ were people that were her friends that helped her out. If you’re good to Amanda, she’s be overly thankful to you. Callie, Hal, and Nia would be her Jetties since they became her friends and she has probably repaid each one of them. 

    Her guides were her “jetties”, her protection…

    
    As for Jetee, i don’t think it is Amanda who is throwing away her identities. I think that. Maybe she calls these people ‘jetee’ because since they’ve met amanda, they’ve thrown away something from their past and she brought out the better in them.
    For example, Callie said that since Nia started hanging out with Amanda, her style has changed and brought out her beauty. and I can see that because of Amanda, Callie left the i-girls and became friends with better people like Hal and Nia.

    (Saturday is halloween guys. It marks a year since Amanda has arrived in Orion. We need to have something planned for Saturday)

41. Jess 10.30.2009

    logan, i am pretty sure, that while i new amanda,  i am pretty sure her middle name was saueho
    pronounced saweho
    i remember that when she had an adopted sister before she was born, and the sister died before she was born, saueho was her name..

    does this help?

42. Jess 10.30.2009

    When i googled jetty, i got a famous australian country band

    the band invovles 2 girls and 2 guys

    read this, it is off the webpage : http://www.jettyroad.com/main.html

    here

    “Few bands have ‘chart success’ written all over them like Jetty Road.”
    Canterbury News, UK

    “Jetty Road are not trying to be just another band, imitating something that’s been done before. This is where their true individualism shines through in many wondrous colours.”  
    Laura Bethell, Maverick Magazine, UK.

    “As good as anything that has come out of the US.”
    Deb Minter, Capital News, AUSTRALIA

    “Quite breathtaking in all honesty.”
    Chris Jackson, International Americana Festival, UK

    Jetty Road have forged their own path and decided to go for it in a big way. 2009 saw the release of their new album, Life at a Million Miles - a new chapter in their remarkable journey.  

    This album has a distinct flavour about it – confident with no apologies.

    “I stopped retreating to the backline, and I went out and I started playing the front nine” together with “I’ve always played my cards just how I wanted” and “this time I’m digging my feet down in the sand” are lyrics that capture the high and lows of their sometimes ‘crazy’ life, along the amazing road they’ve travelled to get them to where they are today.

    Twin sisters Lee and Paula, along with Julian and Simon make up Jetty Road. Their music has been described as ‘a tapestry of rock, pop and country, with a hint of folk.’

    Imagine The Corrs, Fleetwood Mac and The Dixie Chicks with a unique Australian edge.  

    The four friends met whilst studying at Music College; however it wasn’t until a few years later that they began writing and recording their own music and Jetty Road was born.

    Release in April 2009 through Compass Bros Distribution, Life At A Million Miles is the third album released by the Victorian 4 piece. Their previous albums, Full Circle released in 2005 and Dirt Roads City Lights released in 2007 saw the band garner the attention of the country music industry, both locally and internationally.

    After releasing their debut single Run To You in 2005, the band have had five tracks in the Top 20 on Australian radio. Heart And Soul, Real Smooth Cowboy, I Wanna Go Home, City Lights and most recently Good Times, which sat in the #2 position for 4 weeks. Four of the video clips for these tracks made it to the Top 10 on CMC. City Lights, released in 2008 made the coveted #1 position on the CMC (Country Music Channel) chart.

    Since 2008, Jetty Road has been creating a buzz for itself in North America – playing main stage at the biggest country festivals on the continent.  June 2008 saw Jetty Road performing on main stage at Dauphin Countryfest in Canada. To date, Keith Urban and Jetty Road are the only Australian acts to ever perform at the festival. Dauphin Countryfest is Canada’s longest running music festival, and other performers in 2008 included country music super-star Alan Jackson, Lonestar and 2008 Grammy Award winners Emerson Drive.

    In 2009, Jetty Road shared stages with Taylor Swift, Kenny Chesney, Brooks & Dunn and Tim McGraw at WE Fest in the USA, Merritt Mountain Music Festival and Big Valley Jamboree in Canada.  Further more, the band has performed in Nashville at the prestigious Aristo Media Global Artist Showcase during the annual CMA Music Festival and were the first country music artists to perform at the Hard Rock Café in Paris whilst on tour throughout France and the United Kingdom.

    Along with strong chart success, Jetty Road have twice taken home the TIARA Award for Best Group (2008 / 2009) the Victorian Album of the Year at the 2008 Victorian and National Country Music Awards. In January 2008 they were honoured with a finalist nomination at the 36th Country Music Awards of Australia for Best Group.  Most recently Jetty Road dominated at the 2009 Australian Independent Country Music Awards by winning Australian Independent Group/Duo of the Year, Australian Independent Album of the Year and Australian Independent Artist of the Year.

    As Jetty Road continue their whirl wind world tour to France, Switzerland and Germany in September 2009, it seems the saying ‘life imitates art’ could not be more accurate; a life at a million miles…..…

43. stella94 10.30.2009

    Wait a minute. Isn’t there a school dance this Halloween? Or a party somewhere? I can’t remember. Amanda might show up to one of those.

    Or any other mysterious people.
    EVERYBODY, EYES OPEN ON SATURDAY!!!!

44. Jess 10.30.2009

    sorry to post so many comments, but i HAVE to say this
    the band is all about new beginings, individuality, and how they are something extraordinary.  i think this realtes to jetty because, every time, jetty was a dfferent person, for some really wierd reason, i feel like she was the same person, or he!  he/she was just being original, and switching identity to hide something, or someone…

45. stella94 10.30.2009

    Wow. There’s also a book called, “Leaving Jetty Road”, but I’m not sure it would have any relevance to Amanda. And I haven’t read it in forever; I didn’t like it very much.

46. AwesomeAnna93 10.30.2009

    Saueho? I don’t think Amanda actually had a middle name. It would have been on her schedules, transcripts and all of that data but from the sneaking around we’ve done… I don’t recall there being a middle name on any of her documents. (It is quite normal not to have a middle name. Neither me or my brother nor most of my cousins have middle names.)

    Stella, your acutally right! there is a dance kind of thing on halloween. but no its not at the school.

    There is going to be a dance at the Riviera Country Club. I think it’s being sponsored by the Caribbean Student of Endeavor. I heared from Gage Lefevre (senior class vice president) that it might actually be loads of fun and that the CSE kids but together a great commitee and they’re going alll out on decorating =]

    Well, I’m not attending but i’ll be volunteering at the 35th Annual Orion Haunted House @ Cypress Point Park so i’ll keep an eye out there.

47. LoganMcDonald 10.30.2009

    Maybe I’ll see you Anna. I go to the Haunted House every Halloween! But I’ll keep my eye out for Amanda. Dances weren’t always my thing anyways.

48. stef_stone 10.30.2009

    Oh we got ready in the tent next to the ferris wheel…I have a physics test tomorrow but it would be great if someone else could check!

49. Kenzi 10.30.2009

    You can DEFINATELY count on me being at the Haunted House!
    Anyways you know how I told you how I found that tarot reading book as well as the tarot cards? Well on the back cover in Amanda’s writing WITH a cayote cayote sticker says: “You have no chance of finding me ‘till night is day.”
    What does this mean? Well night is day when it is the eclipse. I only know this from the Immortal Series, but still an eclipse is both night and day. Anyways knowing this I looked up when the next eclipse would be and there will be a Partial Lunor Eclipse on December 21. The annular solar eclipse is on January 15 2010. So I think that we need to find all we can out about the eclipse…anyone agree?
    (If you want to check out the Eclipse schedule go to Nasa)

50. stella94 10.30.2009

    I’ll go to the Country Club dance, then.

    And MackenzieC, good idea about the eclipse! I’ll definitely look into that.

51. Jess 10.31.2009

    The Immortal Series, AMAZING.  If anyone has a chance to read, do it!  Anyways
    i Don’t think that the eclipse, Amand, and the Immortal Series have anything to do with eachother.  In the IS(IMMORTAL SERIES), the eclipse is about saving true love, but Amanda once told me “It’s better to have never felt the happiness of love than to be tortured by the pain of it ending”  She said that in her life time, it wasn’t neccesary, that many people belief it is the key to a happy life, when she thought the key to a happy life, was finding the key.  i have both books in my hands right now, the quote that makes me belive that the eclipse wont help us is “Every man has his own destiny, love is involved either way.”
    When i searched spiritual meaning for eclipse, it is about to dream for love

    LOVE + AMANDA = PAIN, DESPAIR, AND REGRET

52. Kenzi 10.31.2009

    Yah but if you remember she lied and told everybody different stories. She told me when I first started dating Eli that “It is better to expirience the pain and regret of love and have the warmth and happiness of it then to never feel the happiness that love brings.” Plus this isn’t really about the Immortal Series or quotes from it, it is about finding Amanda.

53. Jess 10.31.2009

    OKAY MACKENZIE listen, instead of try to diss everyone.  you can’t lie about something like that, even if you are Amanda.  I am trying to tell you that, you are steering us from the real answer, you dont get what this is really about, you think its all about Amanda and there is nothing that can link to the discovery, open your eyes and look mackenzie, clues are all around you, your just too paranoid to find them.
    sorry to be harsh, but you are getting on my nerves

54. Kenzi 10.31.2009

    Actually you CAN lie about anything. Everyone lies they might not not lie to other people but THEY do lie to themselves everyday. I was thinking and I think that maybe the reason Amanda told so many lies was so that she could be somebody she really wasn’t. Maybe telling us so many lies was a way to lie to herself. I think that in order to find Amanda we are not just going to have to follow a bunch of clues, we are going to have to look at our leads and dig deeper into the kind of person Amanda was. Maybe she wanted you to think that she suffered a heartbreak but for me to think that love was a great thing. You have to look at it from both points of veiw and see what makes more sense. If I am right then great we will be closer to finding Amanda-but if not then thats okay we are closer to knowing who Amanda really was. The better you know a person the better you can look at things from their point of veiw. The better you see things from anothers point of view the better chance you have of finding them.
    (Plus in case you didn’t know Amanda had a boyfriend)

55. Jess 11.01.2009

    Well, your wrong, i dontthink that you can lie about anything, amanda was not that kind of person, and you CAN NOT HIDE THAT.  no matter how hard you try, lyig is something that defines a person inside, everyone knew AMANDA, which personality she had when we knew her, doesn’t really matter.  anyone can change their personality, kinda like you have mackenzie, your all mean and ignorent, then you are all, “different point of veiw”.  Amanda may have had a boyfriend, but that may of been her “personalty then” she did really love him, otherwise she would ot have left.  you can’t point out the obvious, dig to what matters already.

56. Jess 11.01.2009

    Sorry Mackenzie, I have been kinda mean to you, its just that, my dog, Kenzie, died two days ago, she was a pug.  You, how when something little is on your nerves, then something horrible happens, and you turn that little somethinginto a big something, kinda like Amadna did,
    i am really sorry

57. Kenzi 11.02.2009

    Hmm…
    Something you just said created a spark in my memory…I just can’t put my finger on it.

58. Uppercase 11.17.2009

    I couldn’t go; had to go visit grandparents. But it sounded like fun except for Amanda, she’s stalking me, literally.

59. savannahsouth 11.25.2009

    So yesterday i was at the carnival and me and some friends decided to go on the ferris wheel. which i love but who cares. anyways as were getting off the wheel i see this girl with a hoodie and pants exactly like what that girl was wearing in the surveillance video in the parking lot.. at first i just thought “oh thats funny” but just ignored it, but then i heard her telling this guy her name was Megan? yeah, so i kind of looked at her funny which possible looked like creepy staring and she gave me this look like she was caught and then walked away faster then ive ever seen someone walk before. it was almost like it was life or death if someone caught her?

60. PiscesGirl 11.25.2009

    Well, from the first post- I think Aamina and Amanda might have something to do with each other. They resemble each other and their names are almost the same, too. That’s all I’ve figured out from this so far, so if I’m wrong sorry!

61. Laniegirl 01.29.2010

    Hey, I was just thinking this, reading all your comments. Haven’t you guys wondered whether Amanda knows about this site and the fact you’re looking for her? Yes, I know that’s kind of obvious, but what if, and I’m not saying this is true, but what if Amanda is posing as someone on here who’s giving you clues but instead she’s kind of leading you away from where she might be? Like, giving you the opposite meaning of things? I know this is kind of far-fetched, but think about it. You all use “code-names” so you guys stay unknown right? Amanda could just come on here and make up a name and become a member without you knowing it’s actually her! Just think about this, please?
