About Me

Everything you ever wanted to know about me!  Well, not really. 

Hi. My name is Jean. I'm 18.  I go to college. I'm a Leo. Thats a pretty good bio, eh? Er...Maybe I should make a better one...

School-wise: I'll probably double major in sociology, anthropology, or philosophy. But, I might go back to elementary education.  I love working with little kids, they are so much fun. They are so accepting and fun to be with, they have uninhibited imaginations. And that leads to kick ass artwork.  Ahh...I wish I was like that.  Oh well.  Sociology just interests me so much, its kind of fun to see how different groups act towards certain things, and how various social phenomena occur.  Anthropology, well, why not? Its pretty cool, I'm into learning about different cultures. Man, I wish my school had a folklore department.  I love folk art and folktales. They are always sooo interesting. Its great stuff. I have this book of world folktales, and it is the coolest.  And the complete collection of Grimms fairy tales. Thats really interesting too...the stories are so creative and yet simple. Anyway, back to majors: psychology. Its just an awesome science.  Its neat to learn what makes people tick.  Thats my mostly likely major.  I want to do research though; I dont think people would want me to help them (I'm probably as fucked up as they are).  Now, philosophy is my favourite topic. I can't even begin to explain the coolness of it.  So, I won't.  Heh.

My plans include: finish school, majoring in psychology or something, join peace corps/americorps and, go around Europe for a while (or the world, why not?) come back to the states (or not, depending on my luck *wink wink*). Get a job and go to art or law school.  

Then, ideally, I would open my own shop and sell jewelry, batiks, poetry, etc. that would be sweet. My little shop would be like the one in the movie "Chocolat" only no chocolate. So, yeah, its not really like it.  But, hey, it would be cute like that shop. 

Plans might include: Becoming a national geographic photographer, becoming a rock star, marrying a hot European man so I can gain citizenship (Trevor is going to find me one in Switzerland, and Amelia, if he only finds one- he's all mine!) 

Well, in all actuality, I dont think I could be the photographer; I dont even own a camera.  Most people seem to think its odd that it would be one of my dream jobs, but I dont think those people have really looked at a national geographic.  I mean, come on, those magazines kick fucking ass.  All right, now rock star is a stretch too, I can't even play any instruments. But just think how cool that would be.  I would just want to be in an indie band that had a small following, so I dont get all famous and stuff...that would rock.  But, I dont really know if I would enjoy it after a while.  So that would be a problem.  Now, marrying a European, that might work...

What do I believe in? I am pro-child pro-family pro-choice (I once read that on a bumper sticker somewhere, probably GA), anti-death penalty, pro: gay rights, human rights, womens rights (despite I have a major problem with feminist ethics!), civil rights, animal rights, freedom of speech, blah, blah, blah.   I am agnostic (dont know if god exists, dont really care) and I am against all that forced prayer/moment of silence bull shit.  Just take a gander at my essays sometimes. Most were written for my ethics class, but some were just for kicks and giggles... I am technically Unitarian Universalism too.  If you dont know what that is, take a look at the link I made in the link pages for it (if its up yet!). Its nice little religion.  Even thought I am non-religious and such... Ooo, another cool bumper sticker that somebody had (perhaps Evan, or perhaps not) that said, "The planet is fillable.   The pope is fallible.  Promote birth control." that one was really cool.  And I saw another sticker that said, "Race cars not dogs". I'm not too down with the mistreatment of animals, or using them for pure entertainment, heh.  But, I wont get in to that.  "Like the circus?  You fucking sadist!" --thats a poster idea I had for a circus protest (dont worry though, I was joking, I didnt really have a poster saying that).

 

This is a picture of what I think would describe me best. You don't know how many people come up to me and tell me that when they first met me all they could think about was two things

1) Is she foriegn? 

2) Some how she reminds me of a rabbit with TONS of hats!
