juniper

About me... well, I'm Jen. I can't remember who first tagged me juniper, but it's stuck for 10 years or so.
I live, work, learn, and play in Vancouver. It will probably always be home. Sure, I know I don't take full advantage of all it’s got to offer, but I can say with confidence that there's no place in the world as spectacular. To me it encourages Discovery.
Discovery is one of those things that are important to me. It stands for a lot, you know? To discover something you've got to have courage to try.
I have an addictive personality. Whether it be taking night classes, drinking Queen Mary tea, reading faerie tales, or listening to the same albums over and over and over again...
That's just the way I know if I like something.
My new passion is Flamenco. I must have been a gypsy in a past life! I'm completely addicted to the rhythms, the grace, the spontaneity of it. That and stomping around is a great way to end a week.
I'm not as aloof as people think I am. I'm just observing. And contrary to popular belief I do more than just work and socialize...
What's most important to me, though, is other people. I want to see others succeed. I get shivers on my neck when I am able to help someone and see them thrive from it. It is about knowing that I've made some sort of contribution to a bigger purpose. And I'll know that I've "made it" as a person when I can do that for both myself and those I care about simultaneously.
