I am here for Friends

About Me

Me llamo Jessica. Almost no one calls me that anymore. It is usually some variation, like Jess, Jessa, Jessa-muh-kuh, or the ever-so-superhero-sounding THE KUH. I pedal internet subscriptions for a living. I also help people who don't know what an excel file is or how to get to a website function in a school environment. I'm also about to start volunteering for two wonderful organizations. I live in a little apartment on a tree lined street in Lakewood. I am a Unitarian Universalist. I'm figuring out what I believe and who I am and what my role should be in the world. I have this super awesome boyfriend whose super power is making me ridiculously happy. My family is super weird, and I love that about them. My friends are the greatest friends I could ask for. Better than I could ask for. If there were someone to ask, I don’t think I would have been creative enough to ask for them. Here are a few of them. They make my world go 'round...

My Interests


Philosophy
Psychology
Religion
Politics
You know, all the cliches.

I'd like to meet:

It's probably better to start with who I DON'T want to meet....
**I don't want to meet anyone who sends a friend request without a message.
**I don't want to "check out your band". I like the music I like. When I want something new, I go looking for it.

Now that that's taken care of, I'd like to meet someone who likes to do the things I do: laugh, learn, listen, watch, write, read, hang out, watch movies, hug, kiss, cuddle, drink, eat, sleep, get up and do something, stay in and do something, smile, sing along with the radio, etc. If you like to do any or all of those things, we'll probably get along.

Other people I'd like to meet: Jonathan Safron Foer. He's my favorite author. I would loved to have met Fred Rogers. Drew Barrymore. If there is an afterlife, I'd love to meet my dad.

Music:

People who rock (in no particular order):
*Matt Nathanson (OK, that one is in order)
*Matchbox Twenty
*Dave Matthews Band
*John Mayer
*Taking Back Sunday
*Dashboard Confessional
*The Killers
*Straylight Run
*Carly Simon
*Stars
*Coldplay
*Astronautalis
*Brett Dennen
*The Album Leaf
*The Perishers
*Something Corporate (RIP)

This is by no means a complete list.

Movies:

Favorites:
Reality Bites, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, The Lord of the Rings Trilogy, Moulin Rouge, The Wizard of Oz, Gone With The Wind, A Knight's Tale, GRANDMA'S BOY, Fight Club, Me and You and Everyone We Know. Again, by no means a complete list.

Television:

My new favorite show is Heroes. Gilmore Girls, Big Love, Sex and the City, Friends. I think that may be all I watch... width="425" height="350" ..

Books:

Favorite books...
"Everything is Illuminated" and "Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close"(The next book on this list used to be my favorite, but when I finished "Extremely Loud..." I hugged it, and started over on page one. I have highlighted the living shit out of it as well.), both by Jonathan Safron Foer, "The Basic Eight" by Daniel Handler, "From The Corner of His Eye" and "Odd Thomas" by Dean Koontz, "The Frog King" by Adam Davies, "Bridget Jones' Diary" by Helen Fielding, "The Broke Diaries" By Angela Nissel, "The Hobbit" and "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy, "The Thief of Always" by Clive Barker (which I swear is a children's book, no matter what those bitches at Dealey told me.), "James and the Giant Peach" and "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" by Roald Dahl, "The Egypt Game" by Zilpha Keatley Snyder, All things Seuss, but especially "Oh, the Places You'll Go" and "Green Eggs and Ham.", "Joseph Had A Little Overcoat" by Simms Taback, "A Pig Is Big" by Douglas Florian. The last several on that list are children's books. Just thought I should mention that.

Heroes:

I wanna be just like Drew when I grow up. In a movie of my life, she would totally play me...

My grandma. I don't have a picture of her, and if I did, she would most certainly object to having it up on the world wide internets. And, my other grandmother, and my mom. And all these people... And this guy. I truly believe he was one of the greatest humans ever to live...

What I have

Several years ago, in my first summer as a counselor at Camp Sonshine, I heard something that has stuck with me, and has gotten me through some rough times.  Like this one. Camp Sonshine was (obv...

Dane Cook

So...here's something I find interesting... I've noticed something about one of my favorite comedians, Dane Cook.  People either love him, or they really hate him.  I have also noticed, in w...

Opportunity

I have heard that old adage about a million times.  "When opportunity knocks; answer."  Usually, I'm pretty good at that.  If anything, I don't give some "opportunities" enough th...

The Future of Aging

This morning, as I walked to work, I passed a newspaper box with the Turtle Creek Times inside.  The headline read..."Age: The Changing Face of Growing Older".  I hoped this was not about wh...

My favorite song right now

Jack's Mannequin is killing me lately, in that wonderful way that only a brilliantly written, gut-wrenching song can.  Here is...The Last Straw... I dunno.  These lyrics just tear my heart o...

James Blunt

I knew I hated this guy. I have heard people ask why "You're Beautiful" was such a popular song.  It sure as hell wasn't the brilliant songwriting or the handsome singer.  The three year old...

Dear Metro PCS...

Metro PCS has the absolute WORST customer service I have ever experienced.  When you call customer support, there is NO WAY to speak to a representative.  Even when it says I am being transf...
