About Me


If you request to be my friend, send a message to me first. Otherwise, you will not be accepted. Also, please note that while I am single, I am not here for dating. This is because I am not at all interested in doing so at the time being. So please do not ask to be my friend if it is for that purpose, thanks.
My name is Jen. I am the live keyboardist/ back-up vocalist for The Crüxshadows. Go here to check out our MySpace:
I was born and raised in the USA, and my ancestry lies in Poland, Germany, Austria, and Ukraine. I've relocated to Florida from my native New Jersey, mostly because I whole-heartedly hate the winter. I have a ton of different interests, and feel that I'm living life to the fullest when every day is an adventure. I've been all over the US, and to many European countries. I'm infatuated with Iceland, and plan to visit there as soon as I get the chance. I am very passionate about my beliefs... I want to be the best person that I can be, and do what I can to play my part in making the world a better place. I try to be optimistic when I see an opportunity. I love to go clubbing, and dance the night away. I sing rather loudly when I am driving by myself, and I am quite in love with my Yamaha SV-120 violin. I don't judge people by what they wear or what their interests are, but I do judge them by my impression of who they are on the inside. I am fairly quiet in general. I despise being spoken over, and when people invade my personal space bubble. My two most favorite things are music, and animals. I've got an especially soft spot for cats. I also love exotics, especially chameleons. I am thoroughly addicted to my iBook G4. I'm currently attempting to learn to speak German. Oh, and I have a tea coffee addiction problem...We'll mesh well if you are: weird, artistic, sincere, contemplative, sarcastic, fun, open- minded, crazy, loyal, creative...
favorite color: purple purple
favorite foods: Sushi! Rice noodles, chips 'n salsa, root beer floats, mint anything, piña colada anything, dark CHOCOLATE!!! oatmeal creme pies, blueberries, almonds, Odwalla superfood juice, biscuits & gravy, carrot cake... I could go on and on!
most despised foods: olives, fresh cut tomatoes, peppers, licorice, and radishes. I'm sure I left out a few.
past/present musical ambitions: violin, clarinet, flute, piccolo, piano/keyboard, acoustic/electric guitar, electric bass, cello, vocals, synths/programming. Music is what I live for.

"I will love the light, for it shows me the way. Yet I will endure the darkness, for it shows me the stars." -unknown
"We cannot mourn for too long when it is time for creatures to pass in and out of our lives, because then we miss the blessing entirely. Keep your chin up, or you just may miss a falling star." -Pawn
"That which cannot be spoken can be sung, That which cannot be sung can be danced." -old French saying
"Grief will buy you nothing, and pity, a little less." -Rogue
"It is not the number of breaths we take that matters, but the number of moments that take our breath away" -unknown

And the little one never to be forgotten

Who knows what kind of reality the soul occupies,
And where it goes when the body ceases to function?
It has been my experience that all things follow patterns
Miracles happen through the consistency of nature
I choose to believe that this same principle carries on beyond this reality
That life is unending, but ever changing...
--Rogue
