It's getting cold up north. Time to go home yet?

About Me

I'm a juggling acrobat that fits into small boxes, and walks on stilts (but not at the same time.) I am a variety entertainer and it's my job to make people laugh and feel happy. I also perform contortion, fire-eating, jump-roping, and giggling.... seriously, giggling. You can check out the show at www.jaynaleeshow.com, and the magic show I'm in as well at www.imcurious.com. I'm the cute one. The one in the silly hat is my sometimes show partner Bret. I also like gymnastics, jogging, knitting, painting, and any type of crafting, learning, hiking, reading, diving, hanging out with my friends and especially my dogs. I have a special place in my heart for Taco Bell. I always want to work to make myself a better person, and to help those around me with their goals as well. I like to giggle, and people seem to like that about me.
I created my own profile using nUCLEArcENTURy.COM and you should too!

You are an Atheist
When it comes to religion, you're a non-believer (simple as that).

You don't need religion to solve life's problems.
Instead, you tend to work things out with logic and philosophy. What's Your Religious Philosophy?

Sarah Silverman takes off her bra so you'll vote.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VhDRVKDcXQo It's a pretty good video. At the end they ask you to share it. I usually don't submit to such pressure, and I've even considered not voting mysel...

Sofers on the go!
