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 thought an animated character was hot?: Yep. Shaggy, Ron Stoppable, Rufus the Naked Mole Rat! *laugh*
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.

FAVOURITES
Shampoo: I absolutely love Garnier Fructis now. It smells great and works wonders!
Soap: Oh...White Tea and Ginger body wash from Bath and Body Works....LOVE this scent. They need to make shampoo and conditioner in it....I also have the body splash and body lotion in this scent!

Day or Night: Im definately a night person

Fox and the one with Drew Barrymore); Borstal Boy; 100 Girls; 100 Women; But I'm a Cheerleader; Sugar and Spice; The New Guy; Bring it On and so many more it's ridiculous.
