The Unexamined Life Is Not Worth Living

I know, I know... I haven't updated in forever. I'm sorry. Grad School sucks all the life out of me. Please enjoy your stay! 

Hi, and welcome to "The Unexamined Life Is Not Worth Living." For anyone who couldn't guess, that above picture is me. :) But what were you really expecting? You'll discover a lot of pictures on the following pages, mostly because I believe that people are visual creatures and we tend to like pictures. In fact, I've also discovered that people rarely even read anything that I write on these pages, they come only to look at the photos. :) So I have to stick one here on the first page to keep people's interest. =) Besides... if you're going to be subjected to all the things on these pages, you ought to at least have an idea of who is doing all the ranting.

Moving right along now... So somehow you've managed to stumble upon my little home page. How you got here is a mystery to both of us, I'm guessing. I figure you were probably surfing that so-called information superhighway and took the wrong exit. But don't leave just yet! =) Sit down, relax, and share a cup of coffee with me while you ponder where you (or your significant other) went wrong whist reading your world-wide-web roadmap. Welcome to "The Unexamined Life Is Not Worth Living." In case you're wondering (though I doubt anyone is), the title of this page is a quote from Socrates. In essence, this page is an examination of my life. You'll soon discover who I am, what I believe, how I feel, who my friends are, my dreams, my desires, my city, my school, basically, anything that is of significant importance to me.

So I guess I should give a little bio here so that you can decide if you want to keep browsing this page or not. As you've probably already noticed, my name is Jessica. I'm 21 years old and live in Cincinnati, Ohio, USA. Don't worry if you don't know where Cincinnati is, no one ever seems to. I'm a senior at the University of Cincinnati, where I'm majoring in Communication. So you can probably imagine that with a major like that, I love to talk. :) I'm pretty much your average college-aged American girl. I like to spend time with my friends, meet new people, go to dance clubs, bars, concerts, all those things. I love shopping, clothes, make up and shoes. :) I love self-expression in any way, shape or form. By extension, it means I live writing, talking, photography, and art. Kind of explains why I felt the urge to make a webpage about myself. Well, okay, that's enough bio for now. A girl has to keep a little mystery, right?

So what can this page offer you? Well, I guess it depends on the mindset that you've acquired thus far. If you're looking to have your life changed by this little page, I'm sad to say that I think you're going to be disappointed. Sorry. But, if you're just looking for a few laughs, a little bit of strange insight, some poetry for your reading pleasure, and maybe some cool links, then who knows? You might just like it here. I hope that you find something you enjoy here, otherwise I'm just wasting my time, eh?

Wait, I've realized that I do need to add a little more information about myself, sort of a warning to all of you. :) I've been told that I think too much and sleep too little. It's a vicious cycle that I can't seem to break. Given that I like self-expression so much, these pages my present you with some of my thoughts that you might not agree with. But it's my page, so I get to say what I want. :) Heehee. But seriously, I'm not asking you to agree with me. Please don't send me hate mail if you see something on here that you don't like. I'd love to hear from you, even if you disagree with me (I can take criticism, lol), but please don't threaten my life or go off on me. =) I have enough people in the so-called real world to do those things to me.

So, with all this said, you can now embark upon the journey into the examination of my life. That is, if you haven't already started searching frantically for the "back" button on your browser, hoping to get out of this mess. :) On the photo pages, you can browse snapshots of me and my friends in a variety of environments. Click on the Friends page to become acquainted with the most important people in my life. Go to the Hobbies page to see what I do on my free time. The Poetry page offers you an invitation to dive right into the murky depths of my innermost thougths, feelings, and fears. The Cincinnati page will show you all about the place I'm proud to call home. Random thoughts is sort of like a journal of mine where I record whatever random thoughts I happen to be having on any random day. About me is sort of a goofy fruit salad of things about me that didn't seem to fit in on any of the other pages. Links is a collection of my favorite sites on the web, I hope that you might find them enjoyable, too! Finally, click on the scary little mailbox to make my day by sending me an e-mail and telling me that you've visited!

Thanks so much for visiting my webpage, and enjoy the rest of your stay. :)
