Jess you know good and well your page shouldn't be so boring when you are so exciting and crazy!

About Me

Let's see... I'm usually an early adapter, but I feel like I'm the last person on earth to get a MySpace page. I hear Jesus has one now. I am drawn to people who love life. I take calculated risks. I dance like no one is watching. I watch Spongebob every morning while I get ready for work. I don't eat meat. I like step aerobics... even though I never really keep up. I watch Face the Nation in bed on Sunday mornings. I think lipgloss is sexy. I crave travel...and lavendar...and kisses. I heart hip hop and everything in it...good bad or indifferent (you cant throw the baby out with the bathwater). I want to buy a goldfish and name her sniper. I create stories about the people I see on the train everyday...it's this one old lady who I believe is a dominatrix on the weekends...in between her knitting circle meetings. I love my mom. I loved my dad. I miss my grandmother. I prefer independent films...subtitles are fun, they make you think. I love my job because I see how I create opportunities for others. I'm an opportunist, a realist, a womanist and I'm sure a few other -ists.Just an analog girl in a digital world.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

I'm curious to see how many people I know that have myspace pages....I'm sure I'll come across one of my old play group buddies from the 3rd grade. [THIS JUST IN - so far I've found, 2 ex's, 3 cousins and a partridge in a pear tree...]

My Blog

are we really that numb?

Everytime I look at the paper or turn on the news I am bombarded with horrific images of  dead people covered haphazardly or in makeshift coffins. Am I supposed to go on with my day? What is...
