About Me
I always hate trying to come up with things to say about myself on "about me" pages, but I also feel they are an important part of a website, so I've taken questions from a few different e-mail surveys I've received and posted them with my answers here and hope you can get to know me a little better through these! :)
THE BASICS
Your Name: Jolynn
Age/Birthday: 29/October 30, 1974
Nicknames: Jo, Joey, Josephine, Angel Mouse, Mousey Brat, etc...etc..
Eyes: Blue/Grey - all depending on my mood...if they are grey, you might want to back away slowly.
Height: 5 foot 6
Pets: Three Fish - Blossom, Bubbles III and Buttercup.
Siblings: Half-Sisters Debra and Sue (do two half-sisters make one whole sister? *laugh*)
HAVE YOU EVER...
Gone out in public in your pajamas: Yep..sometimes it's just not worth the effort to get dressed.
Missed school b/c it was raining: I'm sure I did at least once in college..who wants to walk in the rain
Kept a secret from everyone: yes - you don't think I'm gonna say what it is here, do you?
Had an imaginary friend: yup, a yellow duck with purple beak and feet named Quackers and an older brother named Peter
Wanted to hook up with a friend: Yeppers...desperately in college there was this one guy who looks and acts like Ashton Kutcher...I still miss him terribly. I wrote (and self-published) a whole book of poems about him called "Unrequited"...if I ever find my copy of the book, I will post some on the website.
Cried during a Flick: YES! I cry at movies all the time. My friend Amber harrasses the heck out of me when I do. My most famous crying (at least for Amber) was when I cried at the end of "Pay it Forward"...I didn't cry when the kid died, I cried when they did the candlelight vigil. Heck, I get choked up just thinking about it.
Had a crush on a teacher: Um...don't think so...Mr. Mathews was cute, but I don't think I ws crushing on him. I did have a crush on a fellow student teacher..does that count?

Ever at anytime owned a New Kids on the Block tape: Uh..yes...still do. *laugh*
Planned your week based on the TV Guide: Always..I'm usually at a loss during rerun season...thank goodness for Netflix
Prank called someone: yep..slumber parties are wonderful things
Been on stage: Yep...dance, drama, choir, presenting scholarships, etc...I live for the limelight! However, I HATE being the center of attention in general. I am a complex individual.
