^Props to anyone who can figure out my username WITHOUT googling it. No, it is not a doll company, a restaurant in Arizona, or a video of a talking dog? What?

Bonjour! Je m'appelle Jacklyn. Spontaneous, compassionate, and quirky. In simplistic terms, I'm a cocktail of Joey Potter and Winnie Cooper.

I like to think that I have a very eclectic set of interests:
The 1940's, acting, Alfred Hitchcock, Audrey Hepburn, the beach, Christmas, spontaneous dance parties (preferably outside parked cars), Gia Marie Carangi, harmonizing, James Dean, Lucille Balle, Marilyn Monroe, Natalie Wood, passionate kisses, playing the piano, poetry (reading AND writing it), reading, scatt singing, singing, Sylvia Plath, Vincent Price...

See? :)

PS. I'm an aspiring Disney princess/lounge singer.

Currently, I'm pursuing theatre/film. I've worked for a few theatre companies and recently got cast in a web series, but at the moment I'm taking nutrition classes to be a health coach.

I'm also an administrative assistant at a real estate company to bring in some extra income. I'm basically a glorified receptionist. But, hey. I love wearing pencil skirts and pumps to work. *shrugs*

Listening. I may not always give the best advice, but to some people's disbelief... I actually give a sh*t about what others have to say.

I'm pretty good at cooking as well.

Annnd covering "Forget You" better than Gwyneth Paltrow. Who thought that was a good idea anyway?

Is that I apparently look a lot like Selena Gomez, Phoebe Cates from Fast Times At Ridgemont High, and just recently Lindsey Broad from this season of The Office. *shrugs* Basically every actress with dark features and big eyes. "*gasp* Do you know who you look like?!... *rolls eyes*"

I'm definitely a huge reader. Some of my favorites include 1984, The Bell Jar (aka my bible), Catcher In The Rye, Dear Diary, Eat.Pray.Love., Going Hungry, The Happiness Project, The Help, Insomnia, The Outsiders, The Perks of Being A Wallflower, The Sun Also Rises, To Kill A Mockingbird, Wasted, A Wrinkle In Time, anything by Stephen King, and many more.

Movies? Oh, God. Here we go:
American Psycho, Angus, Anywhere But Here, Beauty And The Beast, The Breakfast Club, Catfish, Cruel Intentions, Dangerous Minds, Dirty Dancing, The Doors, Forrest Gump, Girl Interrupted, Gone With The Wind, Gypsy, Hard Candy, It's Complicated, Josie And The Pussycats, Julie & Julia, The Kids Are All Right, Marie Antoinette, Mean Girls, Meet Joe Black, Mermaids, Pleasantville, Romy And Michele's High School Reunion, Saturday Night Fever, Sylvia, 10 Things I Hate About You, That Thing You Do, Titanic, To Sir With Love...the list is fucking endless.
Television:
Workaholics (I recently got into this and am now addicted!), It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia, and my dvds of Dawson's Creek, My So-Called Life, and The Wonder Years. (Winnie Cooper was/still is the girl I try to live up to. Minus the whole being a tease part.)

Music wise, I'm into pretty much everything.
(Adele, All-American Rejects, Alanis Morissette, Augustana, Avril Lavigne, Beach Boys, The Beatles, Billy Joel, Brett Dennen, Bruno Mars, CCR, Charlotte Sometimes, Counting Crows, The Doors, The Dresden Dolls, Eliza Doolittle, Fall Out Boy, Finch, Gavin Degraw, Girl Talk, Good Charlotte, Guster, The Hush Sound, Ingrid Michaelson, Imogen Heap, Jack Johnson, Jason Mraz, John Mayer, Josie And The Pussycats (shut up), Journey, Karen Carpenter, Kate Nash, Katy Perry, Lisa Loeb, Marc Broussard, Maroon 5, Michael Jackson, Mika, Nat King Cole, Panic! At The Disco, Rockapella, Regina Spektor, Ryan Cabrera, Sara Bareilles, Say Anything, Sia, Something Corporate, Sufjan Stevens, Van Morrison...) phew!

***Yes, I realize my "books, movies, music" section is alphabetized. No need to point it out. :-p***

As far as food goes, I keep an open mind and will try pretty much anything once. Sushi is at the top of my list, and I have to say that green apples with peanut-butter is the best idea ever. I could live off of those two things alone. Oh! And coffee, of course - black with two Splendas. :)

Hm. I can never answer this question the way I want to. I guess I will say granny smith apples, peanut-butter (preferably the natural, reduced-fat kind), coffee, my fully-charged i-pod, blackberry, andddd...um...sex...I guess?

I'd rather this question be the eight things I couldn't live without. I'd add in hummus and Starbucks (only for their soy chai lattes.)

What song would be playing in the background when I entered a room if my life were a movie.

Usually in a show. Or singing acoustic covers of Katy Perry songs at dive bars.

I yelled at and embarrassed Criss Angel's niece. I was her counselor at a theatre camp (seriously) and she was chewing gum on stage. Tsk, tsk.
...Okay. Maybe that's not "the most private thing I'm willing to admit", but, I do like to keep an air of mystery.

I also watch "The Golden Girls" whenever it's on t.v. That Sophia cracks me up.

1. You're a unique, intelligent, open-minded person.
2. If you wanna be taught how to do the dougie/cupid shuffle.
3. If you resemble Ian Harding/Jared Leto, circa the "Jordan Catalano" years.
4. You never leave home without your "A Game."
5. You're genuinely a happy, positive person.
6. You can read and form a complete (and correct) sentence.
7. You can help me figure out my next Halloween costume. :)

Pedophiles and married men looking for threesomes need not apply. Kay, thanks. (Yes, I've actually been asked. Gross.)

Also, I'm warning you now that I will NOT message you back if all you have to say is "Hey, how you doin'?" Don't waste your time if you have nothing of substance to say.
