Salutations, ladies and gentlemen. Let me introduce myself. My name is Jeanie, and I live and love in Hawaii.
Here is a little taste of what I entail:
Black coffee is the ambrosia that animates me in the morning.
I nearly always have my camera and mp3 recorder with me.
My paper journal is starting to collect dust now.
I'm a sucker for novelty.
I love vampires and wish I were one. Zombies are pretty dolce too, in my book.
I covet gourmet food, but can only indulge on ocassion.
If I ever became independantly wealthy, the first thing I would do is colour my hair pink or blue and then plan an immaculate visible tattoo. I would travel, starting with Iceland. And I would help my loved ones succeed in their endeavors in whatever way I can.
I am pretty whimsical. It can be charming or eye-roll inducing, depending upon your temperament.
I prefer socializing/living life in pairs. I can fair decently well in small groups, too. When it comes to bigger groups... well, I flounder. I hate being the center of attention, so when I'm confronted with a situation where I have to be in a large group, I like to engage in watching other people be the focal point/jesters. Unfortunately, this makes me seem standoffish and antisocial.
I'm pretty media-centric. I find myself scouring the internet for new music to pique my interest on a weekly basis. I also really love films and books. And do I need to state that I am addicted to the web? Because I am.
Enough about me, what's your story?

Sometimes happenstance is the best. The last 16 hours have been surreal, any moment a tableau.

I am determined to be happy, and I am. It's amazing how well that works. Trying to be more proactive in making the quality of my life better. Seeing New Moon the day after it comes out, reading a new book, trying to make new friends and "put myself out there" more, …

R.E.M. is drifting into my room, and has triggered a senseless sadness. Tears are streaming down my face.
It brought back those few years of painful childhood where I felt so horribly alone. I would lay in bed and listen to my dad's R.E.M. cd and cry. My …

Getting dark, knocking out things on my life's to-do list, quaffing copious amounts of caffiene, working at the restaurant, job hunting, reading and/or writing, meeting new people, chasing seemingly ephemeral conditions, getting overly enthusiastic/excited over ridiculously random or nerdy things, carpentry (mostly cutting rugs), la petite mort, learning, and kinetics.

Hello miss Jean Claude. While perusing your page I was quite surprised to see such eloquence in your words, a definite rarity on the internet. Hope all is well on your part of the globe, wherever that may be at the moment.
