Your name

My given name is Jennifer, though I have always gone by Jenny.

 All the places you’ve lived

 I've always lived in the eastern United States, in the states of Kentucky, Indiana, and South Carolina (with Louisville Kentucky being my hometown and current city).

Your first best friend

My first best friend actually started out as my nemesis.  His name was Troy and after second grade we became as close as brother and sister.  When we were in the fifth grade we were bf/gf and he was my first french kiss with a boy, and later, thought we were just friends and it was a dare, he was the first guy to touch my girl parts.  We were tight friends for a long time, but he went into the marines and when he got out he was too busy trying to find a wife and start a family...  Now we barely speak, even through facebook, but the one time we did get together, the first time in years, we picked up right where we left off as if it hadn't been almost 7 years since I'd seen him.

 Your childhood fears.

 I think I'm still afraid of most of the same things I was scared of as a kid.  The "Thriller" video used to scare me when I was little, so did the miniseries V...  I'm still afraid of dying and toothaches and spiders and snakes... 

 What you were like in high school

I enjoyed my studies, had good grades but never needed to study, laid back and easy to get along with.  I wore jeans everyday and some kind of band t-shirt.  My backback (that I still have) was a dark teal LL Bean thing with my whole name on it and not just my initials, and it was covered in all kinds of patches and keychains.  It jingled and jangled and when the principal asked me why I had so much crap on it, I told him it was a built in alarm system, because my $150 graphing calculator had been stolen from me as a freshman and I wasn't going to let it happen again.  If anyone even breathed on my backpack it would make noise.  He decided to let me keep it and that was that lol.  My friends that I hung out with were all perverts and into heavy metal and Rocky Horror and Star Wars.  I didn't start smoking weed until after high school, but I had some friends who were stoners lol.  Led Zeppelin and Metallica were my gods and all I wanted to do was lose my virginity.

 Your favourite and least favourite subjects at school

I LOVED world civilization, which was ancient history.  I had a great teacher who told history like a gossipy old woman at a laundry mat and made it super interesting with games like Password and Geography Bingo and Rise Fall and Draw.  He looked and acted a lot like David Letterman and was always playing devil's advocate for the bad guy.  An actual thing he posed to us in class once (during my American History class) was that the Jews caused their own holocaust because of their reluctance tot ake "real people" jobs in the wake of WWI.  He said if more Jews had been garbagemen and mechanics and handymen instead of jewelers, bankers and lawyers that Hitler wouldn't have been able to scapegoat an entire race of people.  I'm not defending his statement one way or the other, just saying that this was the types of things he would say in order to get us talking about history in a different and sometimes controversial light.

My least favorite class was Algebra 2.  It didn't help that above mentioned best friend and I were in the same class, along with 2 other mutual friends. I sat with them and did really well until the beginning of the second semester, and then I got behind and decided to just give up.  I didn't do anything for weeks but sit and talk about my unorthodox relationship with my boyfriend (who was in the 8th freakin' grade -___-" seems I was a shotacon fan even back then...).  It was the only time in my academic life that I ever didn't do any work on purpose.  My GPA was still a 3.95 when I graduated (2nd in my class).  The work was easy, the teacher was great, I just got behind and didn't feel like trying to catch up.

 Your first boyfriend or girlfriend

hmmm...  I've always been "boy crazy", and I guess my first boyfriend was the above mentioned best friend.  I remember getting grounded for the whole summer between 5th and 6th grade because I lied to my parents about going to a friend's house and then got caught at Troy's house after making out with him like all day.  He tasted like Spaghettios XD  My first date though was when I was 15 with a guy named Joe.  We went to the homecoming dance together our sophomore year.  He was the first person I had phone sex with XDDD

 Your oldest hobby

 Collecting foreign coins.  I don't think I have any that are worth anything, I just like to see the different designs and such.  I did sell one coin I had that was over 100 years old in 1999, it was from Italy and I sold it for $18 in Susan B. Anthony dollars and a twenty dollar bill.  Now I have them in a pirate chest and my sons plays Pirate's Treasure with them :3

 Your sexuality

 I am any sexual.  I like guys and gals both, though I have only ever been with guys.  I'm very open to exploring different things though I enjoy being submissive more than dominant.  I identify myself as a woman, and I'm comfortable with my sexual definitions.

 What you look for in a partner

Ideally, I'd like someone who is just as willing to explore as I am.  I'd like a dominant figure, whether it's male or female, but not in the dominatrix orgasm deprivation kind of way.  I want someone who's open to having more in the bedroom besides just the two of us, and someone who realizes it's all supposed to be fun and feel good.

A partner as in a life partner, I'd want someone who is a real team player and works with me to maintain the house and the bills and all.  And I'd want someone who will at least watch anime with me.

Your kids, or your feelings about having kids

I have 1 darling son, Joey, and he's all I need or want right now.  Sure, every time I see a kid Joey's age or younger I go into squee mode, but I remember colic and waking up every four hours and I'm so glad he's over all that now.  Just to be done with baby formula and that whole bottle mess is reason enough to not want another baby.  I don't mean to toot my own horn, but coming from a family full of women with no maternal instinct, I think I'm doing a damn good job with little dude.  He and I are very in tune, and I'm very thankful for that.  I have lots of patience with him, even when he's screaming at the top of his lungs and very very adamant about wanting the Star Wars fruit snacks on top of the fridge.

Your pets, past and present

I was raised by dogs, you know!  My first dog was a great dane named Mack, then we got a dachshund beagle mix called Rocky, then there was a boxer mix named Ding that we only kept for a few weeks until someone could give her a permanent home...  There was Ladybug who ended up with my Papaw and Granny, then we got a german shorthair pointer named Bud (who lived to be 18 1/2 years old and lived with me here with me and my husband until he had to be put to sleep due to kidney failure).  There was a miniature dachshund that belonged to my stepmother named Ginger, a white poodle named Peppy that followed my husband home from school one day, then a cream poodle who was deaf named Teddy...  The dogs I have now are Ellie (Jack Russel), Brüno (plott hound), Koga (Japanese Mastiff), and Edo/Fred (beagle/chihuahua mix).  I also have had birds (all parakeets, Pete, Sunny, Lovey, Tilly, Yellow-bird, Duncan, Braveheart, Snowbell, Bonnie Blue, and I'm sure I'm forgetting some...) beta fish (Bubba, Ace, Rambo), and 1 cat at my stepmom's house named Star.  I have no idea what breed she was.  She was black with a white star on her chest.  Oh! and a rabbit named Thumper.

Foods you love and foods you hate
I LOVE LOVE LOVE pizza.  it's probably my most favorite of all time.  I love corn dogs and bacon and eggs and biscuits and gravy, steak, shrimp, mexican food, hibachi style steak, and barbeque stuff.  My favorite veggie is probably broccoli and a big juicy peach is my favorite fruit.  My neighbor across the street has a small peach orchard in his yard and several beehives, so he brought us some peaches and honey in the spring.  Those peaches, omg.  So juicy the juice ran down my arm and into the floor!  I ate so many that the enamel on my teeth started going away.

I HATE HATE HATE green beans.  Seriously, eww.  I don't like lettuce (I like spinach based salads), not a big fan of italian or chinese food (I have to really be in the mood for either of those), and I hate anything that's overly vinegar tasting.  Like salt and vinegar chips are fucking gross.  I also hate olives and green peppers ("Green peppers taste like crotch!" ~ Shin Chan... how right you are, Shin...)

What your life was like ten years ago

I was a pot head and had the world on a string.  I lived with my grandmother, had just started dating my husband, whi was way different than he is now; had a full time job and insurance and had a great car...  I had no bills or student loan debt, was 100 pounds lighter and was generally better off than I am right now today. 

 
How much alcohol you drink

Right after Joey was born, I would drink a glass or two of wine every night after he went down for the night.  I still have a drink occasionally, but nothing like I did right after high school and my parents were divorcing and everything was shitty unless I was under a dude getting laid or getting high and rocking out with the windows down and doing 50 mph in the park after dark.

Your worst illness

Mono when I was 3.  I nearly died that winter and spent time in and out of the hospital.  I had a huge Christmas that year because everyone thought it was going to be my last.  I don't even know where I got it or any details of it now, and my mom doesn't like tot talk about it because it brings back bad memories for her.

What you do at work

I mostly walk circles in the floor and wait for customers to come in XD  If they come in, I help them pick out clothing and accessories to make them look their best.  Sometimes I do bra fittings and help get a guest in the perfect bra for their body and breast type.  But mostly I walk circles in the floor for four hours a shift.

 A question or comment people should never make to you

Never call me Jennifer.  I don't like that name and I don't identify with it.  The only people allowed to call me that is the nurse at the doctor's office when they call me back.  Or a cop I guess, since that's the name on my license...

The style of clothing you feel most comfortable in

 jeans and a t-shirt, but if it's too ht for jeans then shorts and a t-shirt.

Whether you’re an extrovert or an introvert

 By nature I'm an introvert, but I do a great job of pretending I'm an extrovert at work!

Who you have a crush on

Holy hell, I know I'm a bad person for saying this, even though I will never act on it, but my husband's best friend.  He's Joey's babysitter and godfather and he's a GREAT  guy (if not a little quirky).  We are a lot alike and both like anime in the same genre...  Also, Johnny Depp is good looking, so is Tom Wlaschiha and Brad Pitt.  2D speaking, I'm in love with Roy Mustang, Jean Havoc, Miroku, and Kenzo Tenma (and about 100 other fictional people)

A friendship you lost

There was a guy in high school that I was so in love with, and we fooled around all the time but never got to sleep with him even though we both wanted to do it.  There was just never an opportunity to do it.  But before we were friends on that level, we were just friends.  One day he just kind of disappeared.  Later I found out his parents were divorcing and his mother took him to a town about an hour away to live, and I thought I would never see him again.  I found him again through facebook and we reconnected, only for me to find out he was this super right wing conservative who was nothing like the guy I knew.  We ended up drifting apart again, because he didn't like that I couldn't sit and email with him all day, yet could find time to update my facebook status 2-3 times a day.  It's a shame because when we were friends in high school he was not the stuck up high tension ass he is today, he was opposite of that.

Three achievements you’re proud of
Being the first female college graduate in my family
Winning 3rd place in black and white photography at the state fair in 2003
Having been pregnant without a single pickles and ice cream moment XD

Your political views

Mostly, I'm a Libertarian.  But before I'm any denomination or another, I just want people to follow through on the promises they make.

Your religious beliefs

I'm a pagan in that I don't follow judeo-christian beliefs, but I correlate with the old egyptian gods more than the new wiccan ones.  It's hard to explain.  It's a mix mash of lots of things.

Your perfect night out

Bowling and a bon fire afterward, with lots of vodka cocktails in between!

Whether you like to plan ahead or be spontaneous

Mostly I like to be prepared and plan ahead.  But sometimes I am very spontaneous too.  It depends on the budget XD

What you look for in a friend

I like for us to have similar likes and attitudes on life, even if we come from different backgrounds.  I look for kindness and sincerity and a good sense of humor, and with a little luck, lots of magic happens and we are best buds forever with a theme song and a drink named after us.

Whether you’re a night owl or a morning lark

NIGHT OWL.  You can't hear me hooting? XD

How you would like people to remember you

Remember that I was kind and decent to people, that I did my best not to hurt others and only wanted EVERYONE, from gays to blacks to bigots to all be happy and have a good time and not hurt each other.  To quote Vash the Stampede: "Love and Peace!"  Remember than I loved anime and all the messages and lessons I've learned from discussions and inspirational Tumblr gif sets, remember that I loved heavy metal, remember that I wish women in general would be more honest and open about their sexual preferences (since men get to do it all the time without judgment), remember that I hate Fifty Shades of Gray and its readers with a passion, but most of all, remember that I have done my best to share love in some form with every person I've met online, though it might never actually be felt as it's hard to convey such a thing through goofy comments and lame icons I've made in photoshop.  I've made so many friends on the internet and being an isolationist like I am, you can't imagine how grateful I am for every one of you who talks back to me.
