Hmm.. A bit about me?

My name is Jessica, but I much prefer Jess. Not Jessie. I've never been inclined to be called such for some reason.

I'm generally a very shy person, but once I interact for a bit, I can be quite "chatty."

I currently reside in the all too boring city of Quincy, Illinois. I'm hoping to change that soon. However, for the time being, I shall remain confined to this cornfield-covered state and attempt to make something of myself.

Anyway.. I enjoy reading (of course), drawing, and listening to classical music. Wagner happens to be my favorite, but I'm a sucker for Bach as well. I've recently discovered the wonderful world that is Manga. Previously, I never really seemed to find an interest in such. Sure, I enjoyed the artwork, but that's all I had really payed attention to. Now, I'm irrevocably addicted (especially to anything InuYasha), and I'm open to new suggestions all the time.

Favorite Books:

Any and all novels created by the brilliant Chuck Palahniuk
Harry Potter ... JK Rowling (as if you didn't already know)
The Gemma Doyle Trilogy ... Libba Bray
To Kill a Mockingbird ... Harper Lee
Pride and Prejudice ... Jane Austen

Favorite Musicians/Bands (other than classical):

Brand New (swoon Jesse Lacey)
Bright Eyes
The Dresden Dolls
Hot Hot Heat
