About

I don’t know what the general consensus is when it comes down to how much people enjoy being themselves, but I love being me. Sure, I annoy myself a lot, but between the random thoughts, sarcasm, and the awesome, fake disease I call Musical Tourette’s, I think I’m a lot of fun.

Who is Jes2G?

Jes2G is a screen name I have used since high school. I like my name, Jessica, but it kinda sucks to have such a common name; my last name is pretty common too. Any screen name I came up with was already taken because there are about 3 billion Jessicas in the world. Look it up; I dare you. I was in the class of 2000, and everyone knows that we rock. I wanted to be associated with that awesomeness for the rest of my life. However, 2K was already overdone with the Y2K fiasco, so I chose the Roman numeral G instead. At the time, I thought taking an s off Jess looked cool. So, there you have it, folks! That’s how Jes2G came to be! The mind of a 16-year-old…it’s a beautiful thing, heh. It may have been super silly–and supercilious–at the time, but at least I found a way to guarantee I would always have my preferred screen name. Jes is made up, so whether I use Jes2G or Jes2000, they’re always available. Cool, huh? I don’t actually go by Jes or Jes2G on this side of the screen, but I do have an old friend who actually calls me Jes2G. I think it’s cute.

More About Me

My favorite color is orange.

I love Asian food, pancakes, pasta, biscuits…you know…carbs!

My personality type is INFJ. Or, very high SC if you do that model.

I like the idea of traveling because I like being away. But, I don’t get out as much as I’d like. There are plenty of places I would love to visit in the United States, but I would really love to go to Spain and Italy.

I’m a bit of a control freak, which is probably why I love simulation games like The Sims and Civilization.

I am a perfectionist as well, so I will probably revise this page 29417 times before it’s ever “right.”

I love music in general and have varied tastes, but my Spotify recognizes that I love gospel music the most. I sing too.

I have a sweet tooth.

I am easily excited by the little things.

I have commitment issues, but not in relationships. I’m very cautious about what I am to be defined by, and I don’t like committing to a favorite thing until I am absolutely sure I love it. (Note the phrase “my favorite” only exists on this page once!)

I still write. Like, with pen and paper! I have tons of colored pens for when I need to categorize ideas, but I prefer to write with a blue pen. An extra fine Pilot Precise V5 to be exact.

I could list all the quirky tidbits that make me who I am, but that would rob you of the opportunity to get to know me. So, I hope you’ve enjoyed this initial peek into my life, and I look forward to hearing from you soon.

My Writing

I’ve always been a storyteller. When I was a child, I would write scripts for silly little plays I wanted my family to act out. They never obliged me, but I didn’t stop writing. In middle school, I wrote a story called “Red Riding Hood:  The Untold Story.” It was hilariously written from the perspective of the wolf, and–of course–he was framed. Apparently, it was all grandma’s doing. Who knew? I liked doing things like that. I still do, but of course, adult life has a way of making us forget the things we used to love to do. I think that’s why I fell in love with SimLit. It reminded me of the things I used to write about–but more grown up, of course.

Blogging

During the period when I forgot about my love for creative writing, I developed an appetite for a different kind of writing:  blogging. Those “forgotten years” occurred during and after college. I learned a lot about myself and how I viewed the world. Those were the years I came out of my parents’ mold and into my own space. I had formed opinions on matters that never concerned me before, and I felt the need to share them with others. Blogging became that platform. I was shy and didn’t speak much, but I was very pensive, always exploring different ideas in my mind. Writing was the only way I could get out those thoughts. I decided to begin blogging when I discovered I would be an author one day–that’s a story for a different day. I had no idea when that would take place, but I knew I needed to get used to people reading my writing. It had always been private. No one even knew I did it, and that had to change. I figured the only way I could get over the fear of people being in my private space was to let people in my private space. That was when I created my first blog.

I don’t have a particular style of blogging. My style is random–just like my thoughts. I may write about some obscure childhood memory or an extremely random, ironic idea. I may even write about spiritual things as my relationship with God is a big part of my life. Whatever I end up writing, you can expect it to be honest, true and from a heartfelt, sincere place. I hope you enjoy.
