| My name is Jessica. Please do not stalk me. I am 25. I live in San Antonio now -- but only since the last part of September, 2001. I moved here from the Dallas area, where I've lived virtually my whole life -- the last three years in downtown Dallas itself. "Why did you move?" people ask. "I got bored," I answer, and it's really the most accurate answer I can give. I have two pet parrots, Dante, a greencheek conure, and Kiwi, a Senegal. The three of us make an awkward, loud, but loving little family. To keep my little family, I work as a copy editor. Don't know what that is? Check this out. It's a fun kind of thing for someone who can spend hours holding forth on the merits of a particular comma placement. I majored in journalism at the University of North Texas (go Mean Green!). A guy I used to work with at the Dallas paper called me "Scrappy" (after the UNT mascot), and even if I ignored him (not to be mean...because I honestly didn't realize he was talking to me), would keep calling me that until I responded. It amused me terribly. Those were good years, in j-school at UNT. Here's the paper I cut my teeth on: The North Texas Daily. So after that, I started working at the Dallas Morning News as an intern. Almost three years after that, I up and moved to San Antonio, surprising almost everyone I knew. And that's my story up to now. For fun, I like to drink beer, hop out of airplanes, take guitar lessons, play the cello, read books, rot my brain on America Online, and stare off into space having Deep Thoughts. |
