**A FEATURED STORY ON WATTPAD**
Amanda insists on finding love in real life to offset her predominately online existence; Ian calculates his way towards potential dates with probabilities and statistics. Only hilarity and a cast of lively characters...
Goonies rock! I met Mouth back in 1989. (Note: Data was technically my favorite, though!)

Ian's eyes widened. "There's no way," he whispered, shaking his head in disbelief. "The probability of a coincidence like this is--." He blinked his eyes a couple times as if to reset his vision. When he stopped blinking, the words were still there--Amanda's favorite Goonie was Data.
Excitement spurred by the possibility he'd stumbled across an improbable coincidence propelled Ian to leap from Amanda's photos to the ten infamous essay questions found on OKCupid profiles. The questions, typically answered either seriously or humorously, were the written portion on each singleton's page offering a glimpse into a person's unique interests and personality. Ian was pretty sure he knew which direction Amanda's responses would lean--the humorous direction. Resting his elbows on the dinette table, he read Amanda's reply to the first question:
Question 1: My self-summary... "She is anything but ordinary." -Kate Spade
I'm a Jedi disguised as an ordinary person. Don't be fooled--the few extra pounds and awkwardness you see in the pictures above are Jedi mind tricks so I don't show up in every single person's search results on OKCupid. Jedis don't have time for superficial turds. If you're a Jedi, you already know this. May the Force bring us together.
I also like to accessorize my life with Kate Spade. OKCupid profiles included.
Ian bit his bottom lip to contain a smile. Amanda summed herself up as a Jedi. No boring lists of adjectives her friends and family might use to describe her. No endless paragraphs bragging about every accomplishment and title she'd ever achieved. No trying-too-hard marketing ploys to give an illusion she'd be the ideal match for most. Instead, Amanda kept it simple and honest. She was a flawed Jedi--imperfect perfection--a genuine soul concerned for the survival of peace and justice in the universe.
"What's with Kate Spade?" Ian wondered. He eagerly read on to find out more.
Question 2: What I'm doing with my life... My self-chosen mission is to create entertainment in the form of fictional stories. More specifically, my mission is to write fictional stories that will inspire and motivate people to discover their best selves.
I'm also a bank teller. It's not like I was adopted into royalty or born a princess. I have to pay the bills somehow.
Despite the fact careers were an important part of the equation in Ian's filtering process as he searched for the ideal mate, he hardly registered Amanda's position as a bank teller.
"She wants to change the world," he whispered. "With stories." Between her preference for the Goonies' character Data and her mission to improve people's lives with written words, Ian was pulled beyond his control to devour more information from Amanda's OKCupid questions.
