About Me

My name is Jenny. I am a professional belly dancer and a web application developer. I am cute, funny, engaging, clever, and giving. I am very close with my family, and I have a handful of friends that I cherish greatly. I'm a good listener, a hard worker, and I do my best to make those around me happy. I am also arrogant, selfish, demanding, intrusive, obsessive, vain, nit-picky, petty, conceited, unsympathetic, and unwavering. I also drink heavily, yell constantly, forget people's names, drive aggressively, and have a mild superiority complex. In short, I'm your typical bat-shit crazy female.
I was a member of the award winning belly dance troupe Shazadi for 3 years while I was in Utah; visit Shazadi and USU Middle Eastern Dance on the Web at USU MED . I also taught the beginner classes on campus. Please contact me if you are interested in classes, upcoming performances, or private lessons (serious inquiries only, please).
I also hold a second-degree brown belt in American Kenpo, and was an assistant instructor at one point until our school in Logan closed. I have experience in MMA fighting; Muay Thai kick boxing and grappling (ground fighting) were in my school's curriculum. I love to box and wrestle when I'm drunk, so watch out.
Check out this article that SLUG magazine did on me: Sevda Bellyography . Wash hands. Repeat.
Watch me skydive.

This video is from Shazadi's Soiree, in December of 2004: A Blast From the Past! (thanks, Shahravar)
Please don't bother trying to add me as a friend unless I already know who you are. You're probably creepy. (At least send me a message... if I like the cut of your jib, I'll add you!)

My Interests

Movies:

I love movies soooo much. Like, so much it HURTS. I can be a real shit-head about it though, as in, your opinion will always be wrong and mine will always be true and good. There are many films that I love more than life itself, but here are just a few:

"Don't try to be like Jackie. There is only one Jackie.... Study computers instead." --Jackie Chan

"Party on, Dudes" --Abraham Lincoln

Television:

I don't have cable. I honestly don't understand how anyone has time to watch 2+ hours of TV a day. It boggles my mind.

I love The Kids in the Hall. I have every season on DVD.

Books:

I love Tom Robbins' novels (Jitterbug Perfume being by far his best work), I also like Thomas Hardy (Return of the Native), and S.T. Coleridge is my favorite poet. My favorite book ever written is To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee.

Heroes:

My Grandpa
