Pirate Jenny

I am here for Friends

About Me

Pop culture junkie, pack rat, shoe whore, oniomaniac, autodidact, insomniac, compulsive reader, emoticon abuser, obsessive self-portrait taker, secret sentimentalist, lousy storyteller, good listener, faithful friend, champion slacker and procrastinator extraordinaire. I watch movie credits all the way to the end. I have about a move and a half on the dance floor, but that doesn't stop me. I pick the wrong line to stand in, always. I don't like pink, except when I do; I love to sleep but hate to go to bed; I like good beer and cheap wine; I'm lazy but I walk fast. My superhero power is invisibility. I have a prodigious vocabulary--I can get up to level 50 at FreeRice.com -- but often have trouble thinking of the right thing to say. I've got a head stuffed full of random bits of information and can probably lick most people in a game of Trivial Pursuit. I grew up in Southern California, but I was born in the Northwest and I've finally made it back home.
I received 85 credits on

Landslide

There were election parties all over town--but I knew there was one at a coffee house a short walk from my place, so I decided to stay close to home. After a run to the grocery store and a quick dinne...

Ho hum, just another night in Portland

So last Thursday my pop was in town, and he and my brother and I went to the Chapel Pub for a Belated Birthday Dinner (my bro had turned 35 two days before). We had our dinner in a cozy room with a wo...

The Emerald City

If Portland is my true love, Seattle is my childhood sweetheart. Though I was born in Bellingham, Seattle is the first place I remember; we lived there until I was six, and went back to visit my grand...

Whoa.

Nope, I have nothing original to say today. Just wanted to share: I am very nearly speechless.

A most unusual birthday gift

And yes, it is something I've wanted for a while. But I didn't expect anyone to actually give me one!

Sugoi!

(Japanese for great, awesome, cool, etc.)I got this from William Gibson's blog, of all places: There are many more; I also love the Matrix ping pong video, but this one's my favorite!

Christmas in July

December 23, 2006     I am sitting on a stopped train somewhere in Washington, studying the gorgeous branches of a bare tree. They look like a system of rivers and tributaries in m...

That's what I get for mentioning Dick Cheney

Pirate Jenny is a little creeped out now. Amused, but creeped out.
