My name is Jessica, and as you'll see in a minute, I like to talk about myself. So, where to begin... I was born and raised here in IL, near Chicago, but in a city less exciting. I was in the fine arts academy in my elementary school from 4th through 6th grade, and I went on to be in the fine arts in my first year in middle school, too. These four years are what have defined who I am today. I love theater. I'm in the plays at my high school and I'm also in band (Wind Ensemble and Jazz Band <3). I love to sing, and I love music in general. I hope to write music for the rest of my life, whether the world will hear it or not. But then in 8th grade, my second and final year in middle school, I decided to try my hand at the academics. It was a bad idea. I didn't have many friends (three) and I didn't like any of my classes except band, where I could see people who truly cared about me. As for the rest of the day, I was surrounded by strangers who didn't want me around any more than I wanted to be there. After 8th grade, though, I became a better person. I am now more thankful for the people in my life whom I love and who love me back. In 9th grade, my freshman year of high school, I was introduced to something that has become a huge, defining part of my life. That something is marching band. I became so close with the rest of my saxophone section, and I just love everything about marching. I love the feeling of performing the drill for the first time in front of a crowd. I love that last game where you're so sad but so glad that you made it through the season without killing someone (or yourself). I have become so close with literally everyone in band. My director is amazing, too, even if he is a bit arrogant. He's still a cool guy. But now I am in 10th grade. I wrote a novel in November for National Novel Writing Month. I won, too! =] It's a science/literary fiction novel about a cure for homosexuality. As you can see by my banners, I'm an avid supporter of gay rights. I, however, am not gay myself. I am a huge environmentalist. I am a huge democrat. I don't support Bush AT ALL. I think he is seriously insane and totally wrong for governing our country. I don't believe in the war in Iraq. I don't believe in the No Child Left Behind act. I don't believe in driving our country's addiction to oil even farther rather than trying to find alternatives to oil. I don't believe in using my religion for popular support, especially when it affects those who don't share your religion. Speaking of which, I'm so religious that I have two of them. I'm first and foremost a Christian. It is my faith. I believe in God and Heaven, etc. But I also have Buddhist beliefs. I believe in NO WAR under any circumstances. I believe in meditation and controlling one's mind. I believe in no drugs or alcohol or other means of altering the mind. So you see, while I do not worship Buddha as a god, and while I do not believe in reincarnation (though I must say that I try not to rule anything out and say anything un-Christian is untrue) I consider myself a Buddhist. Or, rather, I consider myself a "Bistian." Yep. I'm a huge fan of music. HUGE. I love all kinds for different reasons. I love show tunes, and I do enjoy a nice fun little hip hop or country song now and again, but my true passion is genuine, sweaty, writhing, loud, fast, imaginative, romantic, creative, brilliant, screaming rock and roll. I love the idea of it. I love the freedom of the music. I also love beautiful, melodic piano music (i.e. Regina Spektor and Tori Amos). I like all kinds of alternative music. I love the '90s, really. Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Hole, Green Day, etc. are all really great bands. But The Smashing Pumpkins are my favorite musicians in the entire world. They have saved my sanity too many times to count. They make me feel things that I can't even describe. They make me feel like I'm not alone, and that's all anyone could ever hope to receive from someone. I also love fun music like Juliette and the Licks, the Subways, and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. And then I love the dark stuff like The Cure. And I love lady rockers. I mean, Courtney Love, Melissa Auf der Maur, Juliette Lewis, Charlotte Cooper, Karen O, D'arcy Wretzky, Gwen Stefani, Joan Jett, Pat Benetar, Heart, etc. All those great bands ;] So that's pretty much me! Oh yes, and I live for the Lord of the Rings <3 | |||||||||||||
