About Me

Myspace Layouts - Myspace Editor - Image Hosting

If I don't know you, send me a message before trying to add me. It's the least you can do. I love birds (especially parrots), and I'm full of useless and useful knowledge of them. Ditto on chinchillas. I love animals, so it goes without saying how I feel about the human race. I try to think green and usually fail miserably. I'm a huge fan of personal responsibility. I love my friends and my family. I always feel the need to meet new people and make new friends, but I have a hard time doing so- I am a closet introvert. I like to argue & hate to compete. I love board games and nerdy things. I spend too much of my "online time" on snopes.com and bash.org. In Feb of '08, I formed a plan to live past the age of 30. I joined a gym and I actually go 3 or 4 times a week. I love it and wish I had done it a lot sooner (Thanks Steve and Alecia for the encouragement and going with me, respectively) I have good personal hygiene and enjoy showering. I love my dogs more than most. I hate ignorance and find that the people who think they know the most are typically the most ignorant. I say stupid things without thinking, but realize after the fact that I said something stupid, and usually apologize as needed. If there's anything specific you'd like to know, I can occasionally be reached on aim at jessikaoo7.

I'd like to meet:

Anyone. Seriously. Not kidding. If you don't smell, embarass me or yourself in public, and have a sense of humor, I'm in.

Music:

Everything... some of my favorites are Sarah McLachlan, DCFC, Tegan & Sara, James Taylor, Snow Patrol, Dixie Chicks, The Parishers, The Killers, Rise Against, and Regina Spektor, among many, many others.

Movies:

I live for zombie movies. I love terrible, cheesy B movies and comedies. I like a handful of chick flicks and dramadies. Action/adventure movies do nothing for me. I absolutely love the movie Paulie.

Television:

Ghost Hunters, adult swim (minus the anime), truTV, animal planet, lost. I wish I had more time for TV.

Books:

My shelves are filled with books about parrots, mostly. I am a nerd. I read many books and own a very large dictionary, which I reference regularly. I am awesome at scrabble and cross word puzzles.

Heroes:

Les Transvestites pas typical, Les transvestites executif, Les transvestites d'action! This is much easier to appreciate if you speak french:
