About me:
(maybe it's time i updated this thing a bit...)
im jes, a culture obssesive living in a hot humid town known called Fort Worth
i love surprises and getting presents
when i was little, id pretend to be asleep right as my parents would pull up to the house because i liked being carried from the car and put into bed i grew up drinking chamomile from a pot on the stove, it was delicious but incredibly hot
i belong to the most amazing boy, he's smelly and gross and perfect!!!
i like the way the nights in the city sparkle on the ground and the nights in the country sparkle above, its a pretty awesome contrast i think its a great time to be alive, we can make this world an amazing place to be part of if we just give some effort
oh yeah, and someone once said...
Life moves pretty fast: if you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it!
im one of those people who wants to see everything and do everything
and forever and always or until it happens i will kick myself for missing my chance to meet Brian Molko
also i would love to meet Chuck Palahniuk, Demetri Martin, Clive Owen, Eddie Izzard, and Bill Murray
of the people that i have met id like to sit down and have a conversation with Colin Meloy, Jamie Stewart, Robert Smith, Chris Walla, and George Quartz
As far as meeting normal everyday folk: people with similar opinions as well as different ones, people who love local culture and dont hate their home towns, people i can go to a dance party with on a sunday night and who are responsible enough to get to work on time on monday morning not hung over, someone to walk around and modern art museum with and not lecture me on 'the beauty of destruction' but instead giggle with me at the picture of a row of naked old men, also someone to discuss at great length movies with great passion!
A picture is worth a thousand words:

Are coming to the show this Friday Sep.18th at Andys on the Square in Denton? We're bringing up our friends Bonnie Blue from College Station. Should be a kickass show and just 5 dollars to get in.
Jess...I want to thank you for your concern. I really needed that. I know I may have been a little bitchy but I am SOOO much better now thanks to you and your concern for me and knowing that I haven't been myself! So I had to do some major thinking and I feel alot better!!!
