It's all I can do to hang on, to keep me from falling into old familiar shoes.

A bit about me... I'm a firefighters daughter, the second oldest of 5 kids, and the only girl. "Spoiled?" you may ask? Hardly! Mom and dad were extra careful to make sure that didn't happen. (Thanks a lot.) Basically this means two things: 1. I can take a beating with the best of 'em. (even the younger brothers grow up, and soon they are stronger than you), and 2. I can kick a little ass when I need to. ............................................................ .................................................. I'm a singer/musician/(aspiring) songwriter and (former) dancer, who was pulled out of retirement to sing at a string of fundraising events called "Rocker Moms Against Childhood Diseases." I know what you're thinking, "But Jenna, you're not a mom." True, but I am a God-mother and an Aunt, so I sing for those kids, and all others. Keep an eye out for new Rocker Mom shows in the near future. ............................................................ ..........................................................Th ough I've only played a few gigs in the last few years, I'll be a musician 'til the day that I die. I play a few instruments at varying levels including piano, trombone, electric bass, 6 and 12 string guitar. Learning violin, tin whistle, various drums and percussion. . . . For work at the moment, I'm a massage therapist at GOOGLE, and I also teach at a College of Massage Therapy in San Jose, CA. I love both, but I never stay very long in one place. I split my time between the SF Bay area and LA. . . . I also keep my private massage practice. It's small, since I don't have a lot of time outside of work and play, but I need to keep my skills up for teaching.................................................... .........................................You can see the Scots/Irish blood in me through my red hair, fair skin and blue-green eyes. I've also got some German, French and Hungarian blood in me too. What's all that mean? Well, I'm a Guinness drinking girl who, on St. Paddy's Day, wants to blow up me own car. The other parts of me want to take over the world, or surrender, or make fantastic food. (The Hungarian dishes passed down through my family are amazing.) No, really this lovely combination just means that I can drink just about anyone I know under the table. Brilliant drinking stock I come from, so I try not to indulge too heavily all that often. Oh, and I'm a pescatarian, so much for all of those family recipes.

My Interests

..

I'd like to meet:

..

Music:

I can honeslty say that I enjoy all types of music. That's not to say that I like every person in every genre, but I do have faves in every kind of music you can imagine. I will always LOVE classic rock; can't get enough. I play guitar, so if I can play along with a song, all the better.

Movies:

Love everything about 'em. Love to watch movies, love to watch the process of them being made, love to talk about movies, and my friends will tell you that if I'm saying something funny, it's usually a quote from a movie.

Television:

I teach nights, so not a lot of time to really sit and watch TV. I'm a bit addicted to my TiVO and to Netflix.

Books:

'Sex, Drugs and Cocoa Puffs' by Chuck Klosterman. Excellent book about pop culture from my youth. Very funny. I'm usually reading a couple of books at once. I love biographies (currently reading about Ben Franklin), fiction and classics.

Heroes:

My mom and my grandmother. Two of the most amazing women I've ever met, and I hope to be like them when I grow up."Be not afraid of greatness: some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them."
