A human transformer (Robot in disguise)
'How will you be defined in the dictionary?' at QuizGalaxy.comSomeone once said, "I wonder what being inside Jen's head is like." Another replied, "Probably like a full-on LSD trip." I'm pretty much your textbook Sagittarian (and, as my former roommate Gisele explained, "YOU ARE SO TWELFTH HOUSE!"), in that I'm generally adventurous, ambitious, sarcastic, fleeting, loyal as hell, protective, full of myself and I don't give a fuck what anyone really thinks about me. I try hard to be a good person/friend/girlfriend/advocate...sometimes too hard. However, I feel that my intentions are good, and I'm generally alright with making mistakes in the interim.
I work as a sleep technologist (meaning I work at night- DUH!). This doesn't bode well for a regular social schedule, but I seem to make do alright. I am a woman of faith. I am a Christian (which most people don't believe when I tell them the fifth time, let alone the first time), but I practice in a way that makes logical, emotional and spiritual sense to me (read: I incorporate prior adventures in faith- predominantly paganism- into the practice of Christianity. If it doesn't make sense, you probably just don't get it). Religion cannot exist in a vacuum, and I'm not about to subject myself to following everything some old dude translated 50 different times to a "t".
Im generally much like this:
I'm really wordy. ;)
I'm also totally sane, despite what you read about in the tabloids.
Check out my pal Johnny 101's photography. Johnny recently returned to his passion for photography, and I'd say it's about freakin' time. His technique is growing with every shoot, and frankly, he's just a good fucking photographer. Go there. Now. Freak.

My Interests

art, education, HIV awareness education, research, music, dark-n-spooky stuff, Goth subculture, EBM, electro, synthpop, industrial, sleep!, travel, religion, getting lost in strange cities, going to bizarre locales just for the hell of it, live music, music, lights, shiny things, stuff, things, DJing, singing (i sing for Trotski's Block, amongst other things)

I'd like to meet:

People who don't suck.Dogs that are nice.A boy who likes me and everything that comes with me.And, moreover, people who don't suck.

Movies:

Amadeus, Shakespeare in Love, Tous les matins du monde, The Dreamlife of Angels, High Art, The Virgin Suicides, The Nightmare Before Christmas, Penny Seranade, Gone With The Wind, Trainspotting, Donnie Darko, Lilya 4-ever, Russian Ark, Lola Rennt

Television:

I don't really watch TV that much, but I enjoy A&E, The Discovery Channel, and any VH1 show on the 80s or 90s (LOL).

Books:

Favorite book by far is "Till We Have Faces" by CS Lewis (do not be frightened by his religious tendencies- it's a great book, dammit!). Also a big fan of anything classic (Shakespeare, Chaucer, ee cummings, Jane Austen, etc.), any religious or foreign language text, and, of course, anything erotic (MREOW!).

Heroes:

My parents and grandparents are by far my greatest heroes. The top four on my friends list are up there as well. :)
