If any question why we died, tell them, because our fathers lied.

About Me


Who else wants to cut up dead people and knit?
Jayna --
[noun]:
A person of questionable sanity who starts their own cult
'How will you be defined in the dictionary?' at QuizGalaxy.com
I'm Jayna. I am a bleeding-heart liberal. I am overly practical, certainly past the point of being obnoxious. I am bitter and cynical, with a dry and very morbid sense of humor. The more self-deprecating, the better.
I guess I kind of have to grow on you. Like a fungus.
I am, however, the kind of friend that will hold your hair back while you puke in the kitchen sink.
I am studying to be a forensic anthropologist. I enjoy dead people because they don't complain.
I have a great appreciation for art and literature, which probably comes from knowing and admiring so many artists and writers. I am a bit of an intellectual snob, but I have respect for anyone that is fun to hang out with. Especially if they can talk about zombies.

'What will your obituary say?' at QuizGalaxy.com

You Are Most Like Miranda!
While you've had your fair share of romance, men don't come first
Guys are a distant third to your friends and career.
And this independence *is* attractive to some men, in measured doses.
Remember that if you imagine the best outcome, it might just happen.

Romantic prediction: Someone from your past is waiting to reconnect...

But you'll have to think of him differently, if you want things to work. Which Sex and the City Vixen Are You?

A blog about life and death.

Well, my final grandparent has died. In her honor, I would just like to say a few short words about her. She was married to an abusive, controlling asshole, with whom she had four children: two sons...
