Hello and how do you do? My name is Jennie. My birthday is two days after Christmas. I believe that everything happens for a reason, no matter how random or seemingly innocent the event... it all happens so that you can learn something positive and move forward with your life.

Okay, me in 30 seconds or less... I don't drink alcohol (no, not even on special occasions) and don't enjoy going to bars or night clubs. I recently became a vegetarian (the kind that eats dairy and fish, although I don't like cheese so I don't eat that dairy) more because of health than because of any kind of outrage over animal killings - and I cheat sometimes and still eat meat. What can I say, sometimes I just want a hamburger from Five Guys!

My favorite resturant is Wagamama in London but PK Noodles on Beach is pretty darn good too. I love watching Jacksonvile Axemen Rugby. My favorite flower is a purple rose. I use a lot of British expressions in every day speech, including British curse words. My favorite things to do are travel and hang out with friends. Love going to the movies and once upon a time made an attempt at the whole film directing thing in California. Still direct a film or two here in Jax but am not ambitious about it (no interest in becoming famous) and am much happier now.

Anything else you guys want to know about me - ask - "My life's an open book. Read it on the radio."

Working on a master's degree, teaching writing on the University level, and each day working towards being a good person in general.

Analyzing movies, listening when someone needs to talk, cooking.

I look young and vulnerable, but I have a strong voice - and wicked glasses!

Books - The Harry Potter series, The Alchemist, Behind the Attic Wall, Emotional Intelligence, Atonement, the collected plays of William Shakespeare, collected plays of Samuel Beckett (especially waiting for Godot), The Pillowman and all of Martin McDonagh's work, anything that gets me thinking....

Movies - Long list - here's a sampling iin no particular order - Garden State, NeverEnding Story, Once, Princess Bride, pretty much anything by Studio Canal (Love Actually, About A Boy, Pride and Prejudice, etc), Clue, Strictly Ballroom, Slumdog Millionaire, Goonies, Lord of the Rings, Big Fish, the Harry Potter films, Atonement, Moulin Rouge, Romeo and Juliet, Bend It Like Beckham, Sense and Sensibility, In Bruges, Sabrina, Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, The Science of Sleep, and the Muppets Take Manhattan

TV - even though they don't ask for it - Doctor Who, Torchwood, Heroes, How I Met Your Mother, Smallville, Supernatural, Ugly Betty, So You Think You Can Dance, The Office, The Amazing Race, and pretty much anything on BBC America

Music - I'm very ecclectic in my tastes - movie soundtracks, Taking Back Sunday, Polyphonic Spree, P!nk, MIA, The Coral, The Killers, Vast, Joshua Radin, A Fine Frenzy, the list goes on...

Food - Indian, Vietnamese, Japanese, Vegetarian, Italian.... basically ethnic food and health food in general - hot food bar at Whole Foods rocks!

1. My glasses (or contacts - I'm blind!)
2. my Dog (best dog ever!!!)
3. my family (both biologically and spiritually)
4. My spirituality (notice I don't say religion)
5. Hope
6. reminders not to take myself too seriously

Life, the universe and everything, how to improve my life, and just what I have to do today (trying to stay in today is a good thing)

With friends in my spiritual group or going out to dinner/movie

I have a strong sense of spirituality, but I'm not a fan of organized religion in general. And, even though I said it before, I'll restate - I don't drink and have no interest in going to bars.

If you find anything you read above intriguing and are not just looking to get laid. I don't believe that sex is something to be had casually (aka, I may have a good ass, but you ain't getting a piece of it any time soon!). :)
