About Me


MySpace Layouts
MySpace Graphics
MySpace Generators Hey, I'm Jessica.

I work full time at an insurance agency, and I go to school to be a RN, so my life is pretty busy. I'm pretty big on volunteering - I'm a hospice visitation volunteer, and I'm also a Big Sister in Big Brothers/Big Sisters - I have an awesome little named Missy. We're like, you know, best friends. :)

One of my friends once told me that I am an acquired taste, kind of like beer. I think that is a pretty accurate assessment. I taste funny at first (so to speak), but then you come to realize how frickin cool I am. Viola! Friends.
I'll challenge your ideas, even if I agree with them. There are so many different people in the world; I want hear everyone's ideas, unless you're a close-minded person that likes to open your mouth. Then, well, not so much. I have very liberal ideas, but I hate any politician as much as the next person. I love the quiet beauty of wind turbines. I'm easily intimidated by beautiful people. I like everyone until someone gives me a reason not to. I have no concept of punctuality.. I am never on time. I read as many books as possible, so I seem educated, and because, well, I really like to read. I'll forgive you, but I won't forget. I get scared easily. Of everything.

I dig people watching. In large, unhealthy amounts.

If you wanna talk, I'm ingenuepunk198 on yahoo messenger.


My Interests

I used to be seriously into winterguard and drum corps, (marched SCV and Northern Lights World and Open) so holla if you march! I like travelling, reading, shows, relaxing, listening to music, watching people on the max, and other things that I presently can't think of.

I'd like to meet:

MySpace Generators I want meet everyone!!! Six degrees of Kevin Bacon, anyone?

I like to meet people who are socially conscious and aware. People who can comfortably question authority and allow others to do the same. I want to meet people who can teach me something. Anything. Doesn't matter what. Teach me how to pole dance. Or play guitar. Knit. Swing wooden axes. whatever.

Who I DONT want to meet: anyone who has a "Proud to be an American" bumper sticker, because you, my friend, are what's wrong with this country. Oh, and Ann Coulter, do us all a favor and go kill yourself.

Movies:

Any movie with subtitles is probably good... Movies I like that come to mind are Turtles Can Fly, Pan's Labrynth, The Princess and the Warrior, Pride and Prejudice (the American and the Bollywood version), Napoleon Dynamite, Amelie, Lord of the Rings, RENT, Harry Potter, any documentary that bears Michael Moore's name, or any documentary, actually.... Spirited Away, Sleeping Beauty, My Big Fat Greek Wedding... I can't stand gory movies or movies with gratuitous violence, as if we don't see enough of that on the news, now its entertainment?? Makes no sense.

Television:

I used to be a news junkie, but I'm in recovery, ever since I discovered ::gasp:: television media is NOT fair and balanced (FOX news has the biggest group of A-holes anywhere on television) I like Law and Order a lot, and ER. I have probably seen just about every episode of South Park ever made... and I never miss Meet the Press early Monday mornings...

Books:

I loooove books. Animal Farm. 1984. The Lovely Bones. Catch 22. I'm trying to read the classics. I could spend hours inside a bookstore.

Heroes:

Maybe not people, but organizations definitely. NOW, PETA, Greenpeace, PP, Michael Moore... fighting the good fight.
