About Me

Created with mySpace Profile EditorThought I'd change this round a bit and actually write something about myself!! *cough*

Hello, my name's Jenny but I don't get called that much, usually it's Jen or Joon, Sand Joon, Jooniper and Janifer Glay-on (long ish story!)
I can be kinda quiet, but other times I can be generally weird/ crazy.. tis fun! Crazy is good.. honest!! :D
I'm currently living in the bizarre bubble world of Owens Park, Fallowfield and studying geology at Manc uni (and yeh.. geology rocks!)
"wow, psychedelic colours"
"rocks make me giggle"
One thing I don't think I could survive without (not that I've tried) is music. I'll listen to anything once and there's not much that I hate (I make exceptions for shite pop which has no point other than its commercial value.. um, x-factor robots) What I listen to is very subjective to the time, it can be anything from Athlete or Tom McRae to Switchblade Symphony or Fear Factory and any number of things inbetween! But I always come back to industrial/ electronica.
I love going to gigs, you can tell the best bands by their live performances. Some of my favourites have been Green Day at the NIA Brum, Pure Reason Revolution at Bar Academy Brum, The Silent Parade Academy 2 Brum (it was good enough to make me go up to Leeds to see them again!), The Subways at the Warehouse Project Manc and The Artistes of the Hotel Cafe (random singer/songwriter jamming thing) Life Cafe Manc.
Ok I'll stop talking about music now!!
Um, what else is there... I like clubbing, especially to electro or rave type music (it's more fun than RnB!) *big fish, little fish, cardboard box* I also like writing, mostly poetry which doesn't usually make sense! I can juggle, which is really great if I'm trying to procrastinate! What else.. um, stuff like walking, reading, basketball (haha), singing (to annoy people!), being indecisive, snakebite(!) and the Bullring bull in Brum :)
