About Me

I think the best way to describe myself is unapologetic...and I think most people are not very smart...at all...and generally lack a good sense of humor. I am a music snob, and most likely will not appriciate your abysmal interests and sub-par tastes. Chances are I'm better than you, my friends are better than you...and we KNOW Jenn is better than you. Unless you're Micheal Ian Black...or Larry David.
