I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I think of myself as an elemental. I'm an Aquarius and some people believe that the name Jennifer (derived from Guinevere, and the even earlier Gaelic Gwenhwymawr) means "white wave." Ever since I was very small, I've enjoyed a very special relationship with animals. My "menagerie" currently includes two dogs, two cats in the house, and several raccoons, two grey foxes, way too many oppossums, at least one coyote and about 25 head of deer that visit from my woods every day.My hobbies including macro-photography, cooking, gardening, reading, singing, dancing, jigsaw puzzles (helps me relax), being outdoors, and broadening my horizons whenever possible.I don't ever want to stop learning or being curious. For too many years I forgot about the child in me; now I realize that child is perhaps the most important part of who I am. It is the fun, adventure and spontaneity I enjoy.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Jane Goodall, Robert Plant, Zawi Hawass, Stephen King, the guys from TAPS, Paul Williams, Michael Hawley (MIT), and Al Pacino (to name a very few). Actually, many of the people I would like most to have met are dead. They include my great, great grandparents, the Pharoah Akhenaten, Pope John Paul II, Abraham Lincoln, Jesus, Mary Magdalene, Marie Antoinette, Queen Elizabeth I, Queen Victoria, Rasputin, Ben Franklin, Ramses the Great, Buddha, Leonardo Da Vinci, Mozart, Degas, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, and Ronald Reagan.I know this sounds like a REALLY bizarre group of people, but they are all so significant to our world history, both good and bad, that being able to sit down and have a conversation with any of them would be REALLY interesting.
