Amanda Carlson met Duff McKagan when she was 17. She fell in love with the tall blonde bassist from Guns N Roses at a concert GNR performed at the Troubadour. She felt that she found true love in Duff. He was not like any guy she had ever dated befo...
I spent Christmas at home with my parents. I wish Duff could have been with me, but he went to Seattle to spend Christmas with his family. He surprised me on Christmas morning when I found gifts from him. I couldn't wait to see what the gifts were for me. I was so excited to open Duff's gifts. I couldn't wait to see the other gifts as well. I saw one from Hannah too. There were also presents from my parents. I also bought Duff a gift, but I will give it to him later since he's not in L.A. now.
Yes, I know I'm 18, but Christmas brings the inner child in me. I was standing in front of the tree and I sat down beside it. I picked up the first gift. It wasn't heavy. I wonder what it was. I started ripping the wrapping paper. When I finally unwrapped it, I couldn't believe my eyes. It was their new album GN'R Lies.

I couldn't believe that they finally completed it. I guess their manager got through to them about completing the album. I can't wait to listen to it. This is amazing. There was also a note attached to the album with Duff's handwriting. The note stated, "Hey babe, thought this would be a nice surprise for you. I hope you enjoy the album. Looking forward to seeing you again. I miss you." He's so sweet. I miss him too.
I opened the second gift from Duff. This one was a bit heavier than the first one. There were two photo frames with photos of the two of us.
(Flashback #1)
The first photo was of the two of us at a party that we went to with the band. Slash took that photo of us.

I really like this photo. It was a memorable night. We went to the mansion where Vince Neil lived with his wife Sharise. I met Motley Crue. They're a very interesting group of people. I would have to say that they are even wilder than Guns N' Roses. I got to know Sharise and Vince. I have heard of her because she is a model. I have heard from the media that she doesn't have a good reputation. Once we sat down and started talking, she wasn't too bad. She recognized me immediately. She told me that she saw me in the Sweet Child music video. She said that maybe I should be a model. She said that I looked great in the video. I accepted the compliment, but I told her that I can't see myself as a model. I was glad to be in the video with Duff, but I can't really see myself as being the center of attention. While we were talking, Nikki Sixx came and sat next to us on the couch. Vince moved a bit closer to Sharise so Nikki could sit down.
