I’ve got this store bought way of saying I’m okay, and you’ve learned how to cry in total silence.
This will just be a quick introduction to all things Jessica. As I have no idea who is reading this, nor who will frequent the page, I get to write in blissful ignorance and have absolutely no idea who my actual audience. It might be family, it might be friends, it might be strangers, or no one, or simply you. Whoever you are. As I don’t know my audience, I won’t be expected to cater to your individual needs. If, in fact, there is more than one of you. Or if you have multiple needs. You greedy lowlife. I don’t use internet aliases because what damage can a first name do, really? It’s when you start getting into last names and hometowns and myspace in general that I freak right out for a moment. I’m nineteen. That sounds a bit young in the grand scheme of things, but I like to think it’s not all that bad. I’m in my final year of a Communications degree at Brock University and I moved out of my mum’s house this July. I’ll be a university graduate at twenty. I don’t care who you are, that’s pretty young! That fact alone has lifted a lot of weight off these big broad shoulders, they really have.

I’m a bit nervous about the fact that I don’t get to know who’s reading what I write. Normally I don’t post anything of interest or great consequence to anybody, and what could end up as having any shred of significance tends to fall down and shoved under a rug, never to be seen by human eyes again! So you’ll have to forgive my nerves and my general lack of all things talented for the next few hours. I’m only just realizing that half an hour isn’t all that long at all. Especially when you’re uploading music and watching videos and ignoring Oblivion on your brother’s XBOX in the background. He goes a bit nuts with magic missile. Everyone’s face is incredibly washed out, and as your eyes stray from their own, across their cheek and to the perimeter of their body, you notice their skin goes from bleached white to yellow. And now there’s a multi coloured lizard. What the hell.
I’ve got lots of interests. Most of them include “writing eloquently” and “making graphics” and “staring at pictures of celebrities” and of course the typical “saving the world by bed time on my zebra” and “taking vitamins to catch some z’s”. My main interest is actually Fruitopia. I can’t get enough of that stuff. And to think that I only really like one flavor and still think it is the greatest thing on earth? That takes some sort of hidden talent, my friend. Music is a huge part of my life, as you’ll probably surmise when I’m at fifty posts and you’ve just listened to a hundred new songs. I like far too many bands to name, but hopefully you’ll see a handful of what I like displayed. There’s nothing I won’t listen to at least once, except perhaps country. Apologies, etc. I also have an obsession with a model called Jessica Stam. She’s pretty much the greatest thing to come out of Canada, so step aside Mike Myers. She’s in a short film I’ll post later on for those that are interested. My favorite film directors are Michel Gondry and Wes Anderson, and I am not-so-secretly in love with the British author Jasper Fforde. I am a sucker for sad songs but I don’t weaken in the knees for just anything acoustic. My favorite bands are Broken Social Scene and the Flaming Lips, along with a multitude of close seconds. As for online entertainment, youtube is pretty heavenly. But I much prefer Waterman Studios (and the ugly duckling was like, “but I don’t know karate!”) and Newgrounds tends to hook me up with a great selection of 8-Bit D&D and Perfect Kirby. My brother and I might do some skits from that. He’ll play Tom Hanks, I’ll play Tim Allen. Wait, what? I also like facebook on rainy days in Pizzaville. I’m also a huge fan of stand up comedy, namely Jimmy Carr, Dave Chappelle, and Ellen Degeneres. I think anyone that reads this should suggest a song/band, a film, and a book. Have some Flaming Lips.
