Q: Do you have an extreme aversion to color or something? Everything's either white, black, or, at best, dark grey here.
In real life, most of my wardrobe is blue, gray, black, or green, with very few (and I mean very) "warm" colors. Don't look at me funny! Emily Dickinson always wore white. I'm not that bad. I'm actually trying to introduce some more color into my attire. But what's with the extreme color scheme here? It's a minimalistic look, combined with laziness to experiment too much with HTML codes.

Q: Don't you think it's a bit too bare here?
I'm not a graphics artist, and my HTML knowledge is really pitiful. Yes, I could use some snazzy webpage builder, but I prefer doing it myself, even if it means having a bare-bones look. Hopefully I'll dazzle you regardless with my words--yeah, that's pretty much all I could possibly attempt to do.

Q: A writer, are you?
Aspiring to be one, anyway. I'm a student at Emerson College, majoring in Writing, Literature and Publishing. You could read some of my work, if you liked. No, you don't have to.

Q: Where the heck is Emerson College?
Few people seem to know! It's in Boston. Yes, in Boston. When I'm not at school, I'm usually home in Queens, New York. I've lived in New York all my life, until I started college, that is.

Q: So what's this mosaic metaphor?
When speaking of an incomplete or imperfect mosaic, I'm referring to myself. My identity, I like to think, is composed of many different parts. I'm a student, a daughter, a sister, a friend, a vegetarian, an agnostic, a romantic, a pessimist, just to name a few aspects of my personality. I don't think this identity is complete--more will be added to it with time, nor is it a perfect piece of work--I'm human and flawed.

Q: How is it possible to be a romantic and a pessimist at the same time?
I didn't say that I make sense, did I?

Q: Suppose I've visited past web sites of yours before. What makes this version different?
Not a whole heck of a lot. Color schemes have been different in the past, I didn't always have a blog, and there was either more or less written work posted. I once did the "About Me" page (I guess this is the equivalent of such a page) in the form of a feature article written by a "Jane C. Gawiss." A lot of people didn't get it, and thought it was a real article, wanting to know who this lady was. One friend even told me that the woman was talking smack about me, as if I had never bothered to read the article, much less write it myself. For the record, "Jane C. Gawiss" is an anagram of my name, and yes, I wrote the article.

Q: What do you like to do, besides assume that I'm actually interested in learning about you?
Ouch. I like reading. I'm generally a sucker for the books in the "classics" sections of libraries and bookstores. Recommend a book to me; you'd probably make me happy. I like writing stories and poems, when writer's block hasn't rendered me senseless. I like taking photographs, more so of scenery than of people (especially not of myself). I like cooking, especially baking. Writing in journals, taking walks, finding people with whom I can be silly and sarcastic. I'm picky about my movies, but I do enjoy "good" ones.

Q: Hey, what's your name?
I thought you'd never ask! I'm Jessica. You could shorten it to Jess, if you liked. I don't have a preference.

Q: What adjectives best describe you?
I'm sarcastic, pessimistic, overly analytical, loyal, introverted, sensitive (sometimes in excess), rather high-strung, stubborn, and eager to please.

Q: Marry me!
First of all, that's not a question. But, no thank you.

Q: You pretentious little twat, what makes you think I'd be remotely interested?
I was only trying to be funny. Well, I can see how well that worked out. Never mind. If you feel the need to berate me some more, you can email me. Thanks, have a good day.

Q: Wait, what if I don't think I've gotten to know the real you yet?
I never guaranteed that. But, I'm sure you could derive more about me from my written work, or from my blog. If it's random tidbits you're after, my frequent partner-in-mischief-and-silliness Janice has compiled a nice list of quirks that she and I share.
