A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Girl
A brief autobiography.

Well, first things first. My name is Jen and I'm [clearly] a girl. I have parents and a younger sister. I was born in the state of Louisiana, but I have spent the majority of my life in New Hampshire. I've moved around a lot in my nineteen years, for various reasons. After my parents moved me to NH when I was three, we moved again after their divorce when I was eleven or so. I lived with my mother, who then moved us to Indiana when I was twelve. We moved back to New Hampshire when I was thirteen, and I then moved in with my father. He got married when I was fifteen and we moved to another town so that there would be a bigger house for us and my two step siblings. After a year there I decided to move back in with my mother, who had gotten married while I was with my father and was in yet another new house. I lived there until I graduated from High School. I now live at the University I attend in Washington, DC, where I am studying Architecture.

I attended a Catholic High School [my third of three HSs], and adored it. I was very involved in the music and drama departments there, as they are my favourite things in the entire world. I've been acting since my freshman year, singing since my junior year, and playing piano since my senior year. Piano is the love of my life, I enjoy playing more than I enjoy anything else in the world. As for theatre; I have been in various musicals and plays, I have myself directed a show, and Senior year for the Spring musical our school did Beauty and the Beast, and I was Mrs. Potts. I'm very proud of this.

I love fantasy. I tend to live in a fantasy world, which some people think makes me childish. I love fandom. I've been addicted to Harry Potter for a good six/seven years now, but I also love anything written by Tamora Pierce, or Elizabeth Kerner. I am also a HUGE Star Wars and Labyrinth fan. Those are included in my favourite movies, along with Garden State and Empire Records.

I love musicals. My favourite of all time is, without a doubt, Phantom of the Opera. I also love Wicked, RENT, The Last Five Years, Light in the Piazza, Fiddler on the Roof, Into the Woods and the Sound of Music.

My favourite painter is Vermeer. My favourite musicians include Patrick Wolf, Emilie Autumn, Evanescence, Regina Spektor, John Frusciante, Jeff Buckley, Interpol, and Eisley. My favourite author is probably either J.K. Rowling or C. S. Lewis; not exactly classic literaturists but I love them anyway. I am also a big fan of James Joyce. My favourite poet is Edna St. Vincent Millay, although I am also fond of William Butler Yeats's early work, as well as some Emily Dickenson and Robert Frost. My favourite flower is, so originally, the rose. My favourite is the Kiss of Desire, but I love all roses. I also love daisies and pansies.

I have light brown hair that's naturally a mess but I generally tame it down. You can't tell unless I have my hair up, but I have an inverted skunk in the back. [Usually it's blond with a bit of black, but I'm brown with a bit of blond.] I have blue/gray eyes, and am pretty average in height and weight. I have a cool birthmark on my left arm and three freckles in the shape of a triangle on my cheek. I wear glasses all the time because I'm practically blind and hate wearing contacts. I never wear them. I currently [as of 09/09/06] have nine piercings, all of which are in my ears. I love to draw stars in the corners of my eyes, although sometimes I do flowers as well, with my eyeliner. I can't count the number of time people have asked me if it's a tattoo.

So I guess that's pretty much what there is to know about me. I keep this journal fairly regularly as a means of discussing my boring life. I don't hold back in here, I talk about everything, but none of it's really all that interesting. If you want to friend me, go ahead and do so. Otherwise, I'm impressed that you got this far. ;)

BTW,
