no, not wynona.
stfu plz.
hello! my name's winnona rochelle jacques. and just like my display name says, i'm pretty wonderful. ;)
no matter how much information i put in here, or how many times i edit this thing we call an "about me," you will never know the "true me." i believe only my closest friends really know the real, honest-to-god person that i am.
not very many people actually call me winnona, which might be because not very many people can pronounce my name right! it's pronounced win-no-nuh, not why-no-nuh.
most people call me either nona or winnie, but i have many other nicknames as well. for example... Apnona, Exlogirl, Kuwa, Na, Nani, Nano, Non, Nona, Noner Boner, Nonia, Nonie, Nonah, Nono, Nonuh, Noona, Ona, Ona-Roch, Pona, Steve, Wewe, Wiggin, Window, Winnie, Winnie the Pooh, Win, Winberly, Winneh, Winners, Winnibago, Winnipeg, Winnifred, Winny, Winzlebisquits, Wona, and Wyyyynona...
i'm probably the most complicated person in the world when it comes to certain things. so i'm warning you now.
i was born the 7th of september in 1989, making me 18. and also making me a virgo . it might seem kinda crazy, but the definition of a virgo basically describes me.
i no longer reside in the 479. ):
i did live in the holiday island/eureka springs area to be exact, and i lived there all my life. sometimes i really hated that place, but then i remember that if i never lived there, i would have never met all the great people i know now. living there has given me some of the best friends anyone could have asked for. :)
i live in springfield, missouri now! i'm living with my best friend anna and two of our guys friends (tyler and cody). sometimes it gets pretty crazy at home, but we always have fun. :)
i used to care what people thought about me, especially my friends, but over this past year i've gotten to the point where i don't really care anymore. if someone can't accept me for me, they're probably not really my friend.
actually.. i lied. i do still care what people think sometimes. just not as much as i used to.
i'm a big thinker. you may not think so, or i may not think so most times, but i really am. i think and dwell upon things for a long time before i do or say them. to be honest, i really like thinking. like, really sitting down and pondering something for a while. that's awesome.
i absolutely hate when people don't spell out words like you (u) or you're (ur). yeah, that's probably my biggest pet peeve ever.
i adore vanilla-flavored coffee, and going to starbucks makes me really happy. especially when i'm there with friends after a good concert or something. there's nothing better than going over there and drinking your favorite drink and reading a good magazine or book with your friends.
i'm a naturally cold person and i have no idea why, but my hands and feet are almost always cold.
i have three "sons" (nick/piklz, zaq, and mikey), two "daughters" (sophia and soozan), and a "granddaughter" (heaven). these kids are amzaing, and i don't care what you think about them because i love them. :)
sophia is one of my best friends as well as my daughter, and we come up with cool words like fod and xool, and you will never know what they actually mean!! muahahaha!
i love love love music. it's pretty much what i live for. i probably listen to music at least 80% of the day, and i even have a treble clef tattoo to show my love for music. my music tastes are fairly diverse, or at least i'd like to think so. :)
i'm a pretty big fan of drugs marijuana and alcohol. i don't do it just to "do it" or just to fit in. or just to escape from reality. fuck that! it's usually with my friends, and i do it because i want to, because i think it feels good, because it's fun, and because i love to laugh. so, if you don't like that about me.. then too fucking bad? :)
if you couldn't notice, i'm a huge afi fan. i have been for almost 4 years now. i'm also in the despair faction. (how can you be a proper afi fan if you're not in the despair faction? jeeeeez!)
i'm also an "afi-ist" and PROUD. :)
one thing that i really love to do is laugh. i'm also amused fairly easily, so i suppose that helps a bit? hahaha but seriously, i love laughing.
i'm not the biggest fan of pda. unless it's just holding hands or something, obviously. but if i want to "get personal" with someone, it's usually behind closed doors. that's kinda how it's always been with me, too.
i have a wifey named sierra and we've been "together" 4 years now. i freaking love that girl to death! i was supposed to meet her last summer, but things didn't work out. ):
i'm a huge people-pleaser, which means i sometimes feel selfish if i disappoint someone just to make myself happy. i'm not sure what it's called, but i'm sure it's some weird disorder. i am, however, starting to not be so much like that. good or bad? :/
i like boys and girls and i honestly don't care if you're okay with that or not because i've known that since i was 10 or even younger than that.
i'd like to believe myself to be a hopeless r o m a n t i c. whenever i'm in a relationship i usually try to do all that i can to make my "other half" happy because it makes me happy to see other people happy. :)
one of my many few talents is finding waldo in the "where's waldo?" books. another one of my talents is playing the clarinet. if that makes me a "band geek," so be it because playing the clarinet isn't an easy thing to do!
i, like many other teenage girls out there, don't have a father. mine died when i was 6 from smoking-related illnesses. you would think that would teach me not to smoke, or scare my mom to death since she's smoked forever too, but it doesn't stop either of us. ):
i've had mild weight issues since i was pretty young. i'd like to think i've finally grown into my "baby fat," but i'm still overweight according to most people.
i don't consider myself fat anymore, though, which is good i guess. i'm pretty happy with where i am. but i'm still not as skinny as i look in my pictures, so please stop trying to tell me i am because most of you have never even met me in person.

warped tour '05 and '07 for most of those famous ones, though.
ever since i was little i've enjoyed playing games like clue, uno, monopoly, and scrabble. my favorite board game is clue, but my favorite card game is probably uno. every time my grandma comes to stay with my mom and i for thanksgiving we all stay up late playing scrabble and stuff. and i'm really going to miss those times when my grandma dies or when i move away.. whichever comes first. ):
other than card games and board games, i also enjoy old school nintendo, N64, and play station. mario games are definitely the best games everrrr.
i'm not straight-edge, vegetarian, straight, vegan, or christian. i'm just my own person with my own opinions and values and i'm a very open-minded person when it comes to most things.
i've been told i look like these women. but what do you think? :)
drew barrymore, christina ricci, winona ryder, lily allen, rose mcgowan, and apnea
i believe a person is a person no matter how much money they have, what color skin they have, or where they're from. and no matter what religion you have, i won't make fun of you for it or put you down because of it. i'll completely support your beliefs and how you want to live your life. i believe that's called being open-minded. :)
i loooove accents. but my favorite is a british accent. i swoon over british accents!
i have more than one best friend and i believe it is possible to share that so-called "special bond" of friendship with more than one person. other than my three best friends, i have many great other friends. my friends are basically my life. if i'm not with them for a long period of time, or for even a few days, i feel like a part of me is missing.
at school i was in the foreign language club, the environmental club, the young democrats club, and rotary interact. i was in FBLA in freshman and sophomore year, but i felt like it was a waste of time. in the beginning i only joined so many clubs to make myself "look better" on my college applications, but i realized after i joined them that they were actually pretty fun. well, except FBLA. haha
soda is something that i've loved basically my whole life, but recently i've found myself starting to not want it as much. i've started drinking lipton's tea and water (gasp!) a lot instead, which i'm sure is much better for me in the long run!
when it comes to school, i've never gotten very good grades. i guess if i don't understand something naturally i don't want to put any effort into learning how to do it (like math). i actually enjoyed school most of the time, though. homework is the only thing i didn't like about it. besides, school is better than working or sitting at home doing nothing, right? :)
i've loved tattoos and piercings since i was very little. i got my treble clef tattoo for my 17th birthday (i was actually still 16) and eventually i'm going to have a lotttt more. someday i would really enjoy getting tattooed by kat von d from miami ink. i ♥ her!
fashion is one of my many past times. all my life i've been interested in it, i just didn't have the money for any of it, so no one could really tell. fashion magazines like vogue and elle are my favorite thing to read, and my favorite name brand would have to be chanel, closely followed by BCBG!
i can get nervous very easily depending on where i am, who i'm with, and what i'm doing. the things that make me the most nervous probably are: boys, sexual situations, tests, and speaking in front of people.
when i get nervous i also tend to bite my nails. i've had that habbit since i was really young. i've tried stopping many times, but i just can't seem to.
i have quite a few fears.
Acarophobia- Fear of insects. Acrophobia- Fear of heights. Anginophobia- Fear of choking. Anuptaphobia- Fear of staying single. Arachnophobia- Fear of spiders. Athazagoraphobia- Fear of being forgotton or ignored or forgetting. Contreltophobia- Fear of sexual abuse. Dishabiliophobia- Fear of undressing in front of someone. Genophobia- Fear of sex. Gerascophobia- Fear of growing old. Glossophobia- Fear of speaking in public or of trying to speak. Isolophobia- Fear of solitude, being alone. Lilapsophobia- Fear of tornadoes and hurricanes. Lygophobia- Fear of being in a dark place. Merinthophobia- Fear of being bound or tied up. Ophidiophobia- Fear of snakes. Panthophobia- Fear of suffering and disease. Pnigophobia or Pnigerophobia- Fear of choking of being smothered. Selachophobia- Fear of sharks. Taphephobia- Fear of being buried alive. Thanatophobia- Fear of death or dying. Tropophobia- Fear of making changes. Virginitiphobia- Fear of rape.
i refuse to wear anything that goes above the length of my knee (unless i have on leggings or something). you may not understand it, but i really despise my legs. i always have, and i probably always will. i guess the good thing about that, though, is that's really the only problem i have with my body. :)
i think too much about the stuff that doesn't really matter and not enough about the stuff that actually does matter.
want me to elaborate on that? i guess what i mean is that instead of thinking about school or my future more, i like to think about guys or random facts about celebrities. it's pretty lame, i know, but i can't help it.
i get attached to people really easily... sometimes even within the first 5 minutes of talking to them, depending who they are.
i'm a "compulsive picture-saver," which means i like to have as many pictures as possible of something i like. for example: models, actors, musicians, etc. and i'll probably crash my computer because of that someday. hahaha
recently i've gotten a lot better about saving pictures, though, because for some reason firefox won't let me save pictures anymore?
i've taken two years of spanish. i hated the idea of it at first mostly because i wanted to learn french, but since spanish is the only thing that my school offered, i pretty much had to take it. and now i barely even remember anything i learned, which kind of sucks.
i'm naturally a nice person and it takes a lot to make me mad or make me do something mean to someone. i also can't hold grudges or be mad for longer than 5 minutes because of that. i can, however, lose my temper easily depending on the situation. like if someone's making fun of black people or jewish people, for example. that really gets me worked up.
i've never had a relationship last longer than three months and a bunch of them have been long distance. i wish i could change that, but it always seems like most the boys or girls i like live an hour or further away. ): and because of all that, i have trouble with relationships 99.9% of the time. i also tend to get really jealous of successful relationships that my friends have. :/
i've seen the movie hocus pocus at least 26 times since it came out in 1993, and it's still not getting old. i should probably own it by now. haha i finally own it, thanks to justin!
jared leto is the hottest guy celebrity i've ever seen. and i don't even use the word hot normally, but i have to with him. but if i had to go gay for a celebrity female, i would totally go gay for angelina jolie!
i can cry pretty easily sometimes. for example: if someone else is crying, if a movie is at a sad moment or someone in it is crying, if i'm really happy, if i laugh too much, etccc. but you know what the funny thing is? i usually can't get upset enough by my own problems to cry. just everything but that.
something i'm really picky about is jelly. i only like grape jelly when it's on a pb&j sandwich, and i only like strawberry jelly on toast. i hate when i have to use one on the other for some reason. weird, i know.
i've been going to california to visit my mom's side of the family every summer since i was 3 or so. someday i really hope i can move there because i love it so much and i feel like i actually b e l o n g there!
i'm not a virgin. have a problem with that? oh well. :)
i'm aware of the fact that most of the stuff i like just happens to be be mainstream or "scene," but i don't like that stuff just to be cool or whatever like a lot of people... i actually like whatever it is. so, fuck off plzkthx. :D
i save a lot of the online conversations i have. if it was my choice, i'd save all conversations. phone calls, online conversations, and in-person conversations. that would be amazing.
as much as i might seem like it, myspace most certainly isn't my life . myspace drama, however, really amuses me. haha
i always feel like i need to explain things with long explanations. i can't just come out and say something... ever. ):
i'm sure it's pretty obvious by now, but i really despise president "dubya" bush. some of my friend's families have been affected by his bad choices, and i personally think that he's made a horrible "president." good thing he'll be gone in 2008, right? :)
there's no other animal i love more than a cat. cat's are just so care-free and cute and i used to own two of them named silly and patches. i love them to death. i also used to have a dog named shadow, and despite how much she annoys me and how much she smells, i love her too!
more recently anna and i got two cats of our own. a boy named ash, which is mine :), and a girl named takaru (or taco for short), which is anna's. they're brother and sister, and they're soooo cute!
i enjoy life a lot, and i'm really really scared of dying for some reason. death is so unexpected. you never really know when it's your turn to go... but at the same time i also don't want to live forever. once you get old, you can't do as much, and that's just not fun!
it took me until i was 17 to get my permit, but i absolutely loooove driving now. :)
i have pretty messy handwriting usually. it's gotten a little better over time, but i still prefer to type whenever possible.
i think alice in wonderland is the most amazing thing ever created.
i have a sister that's 18 years older than me, my mom is old enough to be my grandma, and if my dad was still alive he'd be 70. nice, huh?
i don't curse usually. if i do, it's either on accident or because i'm reallyyyy mad. don't ask why. i just never have.
i tend to fall for "scene" girls, and "scene" or girly boys faster than "normal" people, but that doesn't mean that's the only type of guy or girl that i like. so, please don't think it is! over the past few years i've learned to broaden my mind when it comes to guys and girls, and i believe that looks aren't everything... they're just a nice bonus. :)
overly musclely people tend to freak me out a little. eww@big muscles.
i love love love home-made gifts! a gift that was made by you is 10 times better than a store-bought one in my opinion. or you could just write me a song or something. that would be way awesome too! just as long as you don't spend too much money on me, i'll be happy. :)
i hate bug bites with a passion. in the summer i try not to go outside too much because of bugs. hahaha but i live in the south, afterall, which means bugs are kind of unavoidable.
i seriously love every kind of cereal. from cap'n crunch to rasin bran to cocoa pebbles. and i'm the same with ice cream. cookie dough to rocky road to plain vanilla. i love it all!
body hair bothers me a little bit. it pretty much always has, and there's only been a few exceptions.
i hate writing with pencils unless they're mechanical.
i'm always editing my two myspace profiles. i'm pretty much never satisfied with them.
i find it funny how i've liked the movie a nightmare before christmas ever since it came out <i was four or something> and all of a sudden it's a cool movie and everyone loves it? thanks a lot, hot topic!
i like patterns a lot. especially polka dots, stripes, and cheetah print.
i hate when people call me a kid or tell me i'm too young for something because i'm obviously not a kid anymore. hello, i'm 18 now!
i have 5 piercings currently. :) my septum, and both of my ears are pierced twice, but the top hole is gaged to a size 6 currently. (i'd really like to be a size 2, though.)
i worked at fred's for almost 9 months. that pretty much sucked. i only got paid $5.15 an hour. then i worked at forest hill for almost 9 months as well. now i work at DEB in springfield. it's amazing, and the first job i've ever liked this much. :)
i love jeans. the only other thing i wear besides jeans are skirts, but that's not that often.
i take too many pictures of myself and then i never use any of them. that's probably one of my top five worst habbits. the other four probably include: biting my nails, procrastinating, getting caught up in things, and not letting my feelings out to the public. i probably have many more bad habbits, though!
i've tried the whole vegetarian thing before, and it only lasted a few days. yes, i do feel sorry for all the baby cows and chickens and crap, but they are bread to feed us these days. so get over it?
i a d o r e all forms of art and i wish i could be more artistic, but i can't really do anything artistic. except i'm pretty good with ceramics and i'm a fairly good photographer (or so i've been told). well, unless you count music because i'm okay at playing the clarinet. :)
i enjoy seeing this quite a bit.
i'm pretty roz. roz is the equivalent to cool or awesome according to anna and i. you know, in case you were wondering. :)
i own a cell phone and hardly ever use it use it all the time. text messaging is like my best friend!
i'm a hypocrite when it comes to a lot of stuff. i really try not to be, but who isn't a hypocrite about something these days?
i love to go shopping! i don't get to go as much as i'd like, but that might be a good thing, though, because i don't have much free money to spend these days.
my favorite alternative model is apnea . she's way hot and you know it! but my favorite supermodels include: tyra banks, kate moss, jessica stam, gemma ward, and many, many others.
i use cheap eyeliner and i love it! i've tried some of the more expensive stuff, and none of it compares to NYC eyeliner.
i think that firefox is much better than any other internet browser and that everyone should go download it right now!!
i can be a pretty shy person, but i can be outgoing if i'm with my friends or somewhere where no one will ever see me again.
andre is one amazing person. i've only hung out with him a few times, but he was really fun to be with. california buddies fo lyfe!
there's nothing i hate more than people calling things gay instead of stupid (even if andre did find a way to prove me wrong on the actual meaning or what gay could mean). it still annoys me though. no matter what it really means.

justin lee benson
i'm taken by the best guy everrrr.
justin is purrrr much the greatest. :)
i might have fallen for him pretty fast,
but i've never been this happy before.
justin has helped me through so much in
the past 5 months. he's been there for me
when it seemed like no one else was..
he's seriously my everything, and i don't
know what i would do without him.
there's no one else i'd rather be with. i hope this feeling never goes away.
.12/14/07 - forever (i hope).
i want to meet a person that shows me that love is r e a l.
someone that isn't afraid to love me, and have me love them back.
a person that i know will always be mine and no one else's.
someone that won't feed me a bunch of lies just to get in my pants.
a person that i can tell my deepest, darkest secrets to.
someone that is 100% honest about everything he/she says.
i want to meet a person that will love me for me, no matter what.
i want to meet a person that won't give up when the going gets tough.
a person that will keep on fighting the fight.
someone that will show me a relationship just like the one from a walk to remember.
a person that's kind, passionate, playful, loving, humorous, cautious, sympathetic, honest, brave, and i n t e r e s t i n g.
i want someone that will make me think and that will teach me things about the world.
someone that won't break my heart just like all the rest of them.
but most of all, i want to meet a person that i can love forever&ever.
