About Me

I’m at a turning point in my life where it’s time to do the things I want to do…use my passion. I might sound a little selfish, but if you knew me, you would know that I deserve this chance at last. I’m no longer that guy’s classmate, that girl’s sorority president, that high schooler’s softball coach, that editor’s intern, I am still half of Fullerton’s bartender, but hey, I couldn’t give it all up at once. I’m Jen, and I’m just starting my life. College is done, I leave soon for Europe…second time around and not a moment too soon. If there was one piece of advice I could give to people my age, it would be to travel. Jobs and careers can wait, but the things you will experience on your own in a foreign country will teach you about life and you can’t find them sitting in a cubicle. Go! Learn about people living opposite lives, cultures so different from your own and I promise you will end up finding yourself and being more inspired than you ever imagined. So, about me, well, where do I start…I want to do everything. When I’m not traveling, I’m bartending. Before you judge or make assumptions, think about it this way. I bartend half the amount of hours of an entry-level employee and I make three times what they make in that amount of time. I can get time off whenever I want to travel the world and I have time to work on my real passions: writing, philanthropy work and trying to act…emphasis on the ‘trying’, it’s a cutthroat business. Plus, I meet so many people at those bars I could probably run for city council. And I do enjoy the customers and stories that inspire my writing. So if you really want to knock me for having two degrees, but using my drink knowledge to pay the bills, I challenge your argument. Upon my European return I will move to LA to be closer to these passions. Don’t worry Fullerton, I will most likely still be getting you drunk for awhile. I still plan to move to the big apple soon, I just need a little more time here before I go. Back to wanting to do it all...my first order of business is a book I’m working on called THE FUTURE SPEAKS. It’s an inspirational book about the opinions, ideas and suggestions of our generation (the future) of how to change our world for the better. I would really appreciate YOU checking out the site and filling out the survey…then you can be in the book! Check it out…www.thefuturespeaks.com. A couple other things on my list…feed the homeless, stop the AIDS epidemic, stop genocide (if you think it doesn’t still exist, you are so naïve), empower women, stop domestic violence, and any other cause that could use my help. I know what you’re thinking…that’s too much for one person...even one of those is too much for one person. But you know what? If people didn’t think and dream big, the most remarkable things in life would never happen. At least I have an idea of what I want to do and I know that I will put all of myself into it. Find something you’re passionate about and go for it. No one will be able to stop you… .. MYSPACELAYOUTSPY CODE START --

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

People who can help me accomplish my dreams...or have done amazing things with their own...Margaret Sanger, Gloria Steinem, Helen Keller, Mother Teresa and all the other notorious women who dedicated their lives to helping and teaching others.As far as dating goes: Someone who can make me laugh, hold an interesting conversation, stimulate me with their intelligence, and respect me for the woman I am...I ONLY like down to earth guys. If you rely on your good looks, it will show through, and that's just ugly...a man who is honorable...a man with dreams and aspirations who wants to achieve them as bad as I want mine...And the most important one: someone who loves God and shares my same morals.

Music:

I love Jack Johnson, Black Eyed Peas, My Chemical Romance, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Peter Bjorn and John, Gwen Stefani, Snow Patrol, Blue October, Taking Back Sunday, Everclear, The Fray, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, The Darkness and Fall Out Boy. I love, love, love, LOVE 80s music and classic rock! I also love country songs, but mostly the slow, sappy love ones. Most of all, I love REGGAE...Bob Marley, Jimmy Buffet...It puts me in a happy place and no matter how bad my day is going I feel like I'm on a beach in Tahiti drinking a pina colada.

Movies:

Movies that make you think and movies based on real events top my chart...The Life of David Gale, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Garden State, The Notebook, Boys Don't Cry, Fight Club, Identity, A Beautiful Mind, Pay It Forward, Vanilla Sky, and many more...

Television:

When I actually find time to watch TV: Grey's Anatomy, Friends, Sex in the City, Real World, yes I admit occasional reruns of Saved By the Bell, That 70's Show and Scrubs.

Books:

The Bible, Pride and Prejudice, Jane Eyre, Fahrenheit 451, The Devil Wears Prada, The Joys of Much Too Much. And the only magazine I read religiously anymore is GOOD MAGAZINE. If you haven't heard of it, please check it out at www.goodmagazine.com. It's about social issues that matter.

Heroes:

God, above all, is my hero. My friends for getting me through all the tough times and for giving me so many fond memories to smile back on. My mom for always trying so hard to make us happy. My dad because he truly cares for each of us and will try his best to solve our problems. My older brother because he is a genius and was not afraid to move to Japan to live his dream. My younger brother because he has dedicated himself to saving lives as a fireman and he is the most patient, kind, helpful and genuine man I have ever known. My sister because her voice could open heaven's gates and she will one day be the famous singer I always wanted to be, but never could, and because she has more natural beauty than I could ever have. Also, because she marches to her own beat regardless of what people think. Finally, my GRANDMA, who is dearest to my heart. I know she truly loves me and would do anything to help me succeed. She is the most selfless person I know. She puts everyone elses needs before her own, even now when things are really hard on her. I love you soooo much Grandma..... -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- START YOUTHINK.COM QUIZ RESULTS --
