About Me

Hi, I'm Jen! I'm 25 and I work for a non-profit organization in New York City. I'm also blonde, Capricorn, and generally irreverent. :) I'm a total nerd for Star Wars and Doctor Who (mostly the new!Who stuff, mind) and I also have this insanely inexplicable love for palm trees. Just seeing one can brighten up my day! I love the sun, I love to travel and I adore Disney World.

Fun Fact: When I was little, I used to pose with the mannequins in department stores and pretend to be one of them.. then when someone walked by I'd scare the bejeesus out of them. Good times.

One of my ambitions in life is to own a penguin. We'll see how that goes. Not holding my breath.

Other Things I Enjoy

My favorite colors are in the aqua/turquoise blue range as well as yellow and pretty much everything from the florescent family.

Comment: Thanks for the package! Everything was perfect, besides the postal service. Hehe! I understand that you have no control over what the postal service does, or why they do it, so that's why I still gave you a five even though it was late.
Response: Thanks. The mailroom at work has been a nightmare for me recently, but I think everything has finally been resolved on that front. OY! Take care!
