Well, i got my new tattoo a couple weeks ago.  For those of you who are unaware, September 22 was the anniversary of my mother's passing and in commemoration of that event, I wanted to get a special tattoo.  I thought long and hard about what I wanted and I finally drew up a sketch and took it down to the folks at American Skin Art (they did my first tattoo) and they took my very rough drawing and the few pictures I had and turned it into this amazingly awesome tattoo that I now have on my lower back.  I am very pleased with it.  Don't worry, there is a picture of it at the bottom of this page so you can all enjoy it, too!

Let's see, what else is new?  Hmmm.... my hair is no longer purple, however red may be the next color on my agenda.  This time I am thinking streaks..... 

I got a webcam, too!  So, as I am sure you have noticed, there is a link to it on the main page.  It may be on some of the other pages as well, so just look for the link and if I am online and have my cam running, you can watch me sit at my computer and type away you little voyeurs you!

There isn't too much going on with me lately.  I have a social life still, although it has kind of dwindled down from all the dating into hanging out with people (or should i say a person) that I enjoy spending all my free time with.  You know who you are <wink wink>.   

I went back to work last week.  After being off for 10 weeks, it was very difficult to get back in the swing of things.  I so enjoyed my free summer.  Nothing to tie me down, no responsibilities, it was nice.  I am just hoping that pretty soon my luck and patience will bring me to an office position.  Any day now, any day now, any day now.......

Hmm, I suppose that is about all that is going on in the world of Jen these days.  I wish there were juicier things to tell, but unfortunately my life is lame.

I am....


i'm afraid of you
afraid you'll find me out
i'm a fake, you know
not at all who you see
i'm clingy and demanding
you see me as the easy-going gal
i'm a fool, too
to think i can keep up this charade much more
i'm afraid you'll see the real me soon
what if you like me?
i'm afraid you'll want to keep me
then i might run like i always do (why do i run?)
i'm afraid i won't be able to sit still
when all i want is to sit still--- with you

Bitch Fest
I just want to take a brief moment and bitch about the bees!  What the hell are bees doing out in October????  Don't they know it is time for them to be hibernating?  I mean, yeah, I understand it has been like 70 degrees this week, but last week it was in the 40s.  Why didn't they die off?  Now, I come back to work thinking the bees are not going to be a problem so I can actually enjoy my job for the small part of the year where there is no sun and no bees, but NO!  the bees have decided not to leave.  GRRRRRR I hate bees!
