Hello there! My name's Jess (as I'm sure you assumed). I'm a
bookseller (official title, thanks.) at a bookstore and, needless
to say, I love
literature. I read more than anyone
I, and probably you, know and am constantly writing novels in my
head. My favorite punctuation mark's the
semi-colon, because it's amazing.
I'm taking a break from school right now for various reasons but
used to double major in
psychology and
English and am probably going to go back
sometime soon for Secondary Education with a concentration in
English.
Besides literature, I love
music more than anything. I was a band
geek in high school and played the flute (I've heard all of the
jokes. Thanks.) and the cello. So basically I played the two most
sexual instruments (flute for obvious phallic reasons and the cello
because to play it you have you have your legs spread the entire
time).
Hmm... I use "umm" as a filler quite often. My favourite colour's
green. I'm a
complete
grammar
snob. I like cute animals a lot and confuse people that know me by
stopping to pet/talk to them. I love
farmer's markets, flea
markets and co-ops. I'm a complete nerd.
I'm a complete
beer
snob. My favorite styles are
IPA and
stout. My favorite beer that I've ever
had, for something completely different, is Lindemann's
Pomme (which is an apple
lambic, in case you didn't know). I have an odd obsession with
apple juice and I'm weird, so it kind of makes sense.
Now in French

reading like a madman, writing sometimes.
-twirling the baton and other random objects
-guessing people's
astrological signs
-listening to people and reading their moods
-picking out clothes for people
-crushing peoples' hopes and dreams, along with their souls.
Hmm My glasses I suppose. A lot of people say I walk like a
teacher, so maybe that. Or that I dress like someone from a
different time period(pencil skirts and cardigans are a MUST). If
they're viewing me sexually, well, one of my descriptors is
steatopygic...
