You're crazy!!!

About Me

Hey, how's it going? I'm Jess!!!! It's spelt like that with four exclamation marks.
For the past four years, I played the guitar and sang in the ska/punk band, THE BIG MAN HIMSELF, and I loved it. A lot. These people are my friends and family. VIVA TBMH! (Oct 2004-Aug 2008)
I write a lot. Novels, songs, poems, stories, anything. Ask me about it, and we'll be friends for life.
I run a zine called Dead Hands, Blue Eyes, Crooked Smile I run a writing center in my area called The Extremely Awesome Writing Center for Youth that meets monthly.
I am a very lucky person in that I have found people I love, and I know that I will hold onto them, and they will hold onto me (David, Ken, Sven, Britt, Traven, Lydia, Ferg, Jesse, Alex, Ty).
I like chilling in huge groups of people, and I like to talk seriously sometimes. I also like to laugh.
I like people, and chances are I'll like you.
MOVIES, MUSIC, CHILLING, WRITING, ART, ZINES = LIFE; let's talk about it.

DIY or DIE!

I like people that make their own fun or are trying to change the world. I think DIY is important cuz creativity is what runs the world...Take pictures, make a movie or a t.v. show, create some art, attend a protest, create your own magazine, start a band, run a show, organize an event. Do what you do, but cmon DO SOMETHING!!! ya! all right.
