"Calm may work for Locutus of the Borg here, but I'm freaked out and I intend to stay that way."

About Me

Jenn Carlson.
Wife, stage manager, former NU Cadet, actress, sci fi aficionado.
Norwich University: The Military College of Vermont Class of 2000.
Married to: Eddie Pasa. The love of my life and quite seriously my other half.
Well my page is a reflection of me, a contradiction.
I will add to the insanity in my own way... just give me time. In the meantime those like my husband's band, Juniper Lane, are stirring the pot. Check them out if you like a band who is intense and not preprocessed for your listening enjoyment...
I have spent the last five years in Washington DC working in emerging market research by day and trying to be the best damn theater tech I can be by night. My day job takes me all over the world, figuratively and literally. What I really love to do though, is stage management. I love working with artists and as I am a natural organizer it's a great fusion of talents.
Before moving to Virginia I spent five years at Norwich University: The Military College of Vermont . While at the Wick I whiled most of the time away with my friends, the Air Hooch , or my theater group Pegasus Players.
In my life before Norwich I epitomized the military brat, attending 12 schools in 12 years. That's a lot of wreckage I left on the scholastic highway.

I will be exercising alone, thank you.

Yes, yes.  Enough with the guilt.  I know I am a bad blogger.  I think that I don't spend as much time reflecting on my life as I do living it.  For example, my sister-in...
