Don't mock me my friend. It's a condition of mental divergence. I find myself on the planet Ogo, part of an intellectual elite, preparing to subjugate the barbarian hordes on Pluto. But even though this is a totally convincing reality for me in every way, nevertheless Ogo is actually a construct of my psyche. I am mentally divergent, in that I am escaping certain unnamed realities that plague my life here. When I stop going there, I will be well. Are you also divergent, friend?
I'm a writer (and sometimes actress) based in Los Angeles. I write erotic fiction. See my website for places you can find some of my work. I write a column for www.thefleshfarm.com. It's awesome. Check it out by clicking on the "Princess Jolene Goes to Hollywood" banner below. Read my fabulous column on INSIDEHOCKEY.com, too, for my search for a hockey buddy last season. I've also written for a variety of newspapers and magazines including Medium Magazine and Girls and Corpses Magazine. I love talking, reading menus, ice cream, CRUMBS CUPCAKES, all other sweets, YOGA, shopping for Coach purses, hockey, poodles, good books, shitty books, fried rice, pinkberry frozen yogurt, horror movies, scary Asian horror movies, Belial, Steely Dan, music in general, getting my hair colored, burlesque, manicures, pedicures, face waxes, runs to the beach, late night Hollywood antics, oddly entertaining people, extreme creativity, large dinners, diamond jewelry, all fine jewelry, miso soup, drummers, hockey players, watching NHL games, Lucky Fish sushi, my awesome family, my adorable boyfriend and tattoos.

Who I'd like to meet: Ricky Gervais, Tony Shalhoub, Dave Eggers, Sacha Baron Cohen, Walter Becker, Tom Morello, Donald Fagen, Ryan Adams and other talented fellows I adore.
I know! I freakin' LOVE this pic!! We are so hot, it's almost wrong. And you don't look like a midge. lol. Most of the pics I look like I'm preggers though. Ewww.
omg! I need an iron-on Team Jacob patch. *drooooooool* how I love him...funny thing is, I loved him from the book before I realized the actor that portrays him is also a fucking STUD. :) hahaha!!! Mom bought me a Twilight shirt, btw. I should prance around in it to annoy Ty. He's jealous of my relationship with Jacob, it's true.
Btw, I do NOT plan on getting wasted at the wed! Hell no. Will you help me with that? I get really nervous and guzzl-y. It's 6 weeks away, I believe. Oh. My. God.
Fat rolls my anus. For how much you exercise it is virtually impossible to have such things.
Me on the other hand...let's just say a full-body Spanx suit is being considered.
Thank you for the pervin' pics. The only one I felt creepy looking at was the first one. He looked like a 12 year old with a six-pack. Mmmmm. Stop it Shanna! Bad, bad!!! *slaps face*
So Mo and I went on a long hike today....like 30 minutes in, I realized she had a shabby old tennis ball in her mouth and I have NO IDEA how long she had been carrying it...hahaha. Now she won't let it out of her sight. Luckily I washed it off when we got home, but she is taking a nap with it right now on the couch.
Tragic news: Davey Archuleta has SOLD OUT before I could get my ticket!!!!!! I'm so pissed!!! I think I'm going to listen to the radio 24/7 and try to win tickets. All of these stupid teenybopper skanks are trying to steal him from me!!! ARGH!!!
P.S. No, I do not want to read my erotica out loud but I WILL act it out for an paying audience.
Have Zaccy-Pants take a pic of you in your Maid of Dishonor dress and send it to me. I want to see it. I'm going to take my forced leave of absence to tie up some loose wedding ends. Wedding on the brain helps me through the day.
