dead center;

The thing is, I want this thing to be cooler than anything else, so I'm going to be futzing with it more than most.

It's ironic how history bends over itself - when I first started blogging, or, as I would say, when I first started dedicating some amount of myself to the internet and the social prospects there-of, I started on Blogger. That was when it was still its own entity, not part of the google empire, and the millenium had JUST happened, and I'd just decided some heavy stuff about me, and I was under the age of 18 but pretending I wasn't.

But when you look at things, all of things, round and round again, sometimes you just end up at dead center again.

I do know how to use commas, I just refuse...

Hello! I am Jesse, please don't call me Jessica, 23, vegan [but not too strict], horoscope nut, writer, reader, good!girlfriend, generally one with dirty nails, tearista, hippy-liberal-face, cute[?], nice to a certain extent, and my shoulders are sore this morning. I sleep on the floor, you see, in my two bedroom apartment, largely because I haven't been able to afford a bed and the couch hurts my back and the blow up bed reminds me too much of my pre-21 days so I try to avoid that thing. Air matresses. Suspicious buggers.

Last night I slept rather fitfully. I knew I had to get up early so I could get to work early. Speaking of work, I currently sport two jobs and a full-time school schedule. I work at the Pekoe Sip House down at Cherry Creek, please don't stalk me (♥?) and Metrosphere, my school's literary arts magazine. I pull at least 40 hours a week if not more. Rent! It must be paid!

I'll be writing my thesis this spring and gradjeeating with a degree in writing and a minor in linguistics. I've applied to LSU's MFA program, or, well, will apply as soon as I take what is known as the scary test of scary, the GREs.

Yesterday, I sponsored a kid in Africa. ♥

I have a modicum of interesting interests (ha, ha, writing major, RIGHT?): comics, music, asiatic culture of all sorts, postcolonialism, africa, human rights, animal rights, logic, defeating the crazy vegan monster, principles of good design, character analysis, psychology, history (in a glancing sort of way), astrology, health, aromatherapy, holistics/homeopathy, BOOKS, the media...

Any and all of these interests might be the subject of a post here! Back in my old world I did a lot of personal posting, but I think I'd like to try and show my brain power and actually talk about things for a change. I mean, if I'm going to be public and all. (oo, scary.)

For now, until I figure out another way to do this, I'm just going to put this on the bottom.
