I have to block out thoughts of you, so I don't lose my head.

From the background of this blog, you'll realize that I love science. I eventually want to study biogenetics. From my project, you'll learn that I love music. Writing it, singing and performing it, talking about it, being involved with it: it's my passion. From reading this sentence, you'll learn that I love sports and am very competitive. I play softball, love basketball and volleyball but due to circumstances... I'm just the manager for the latter. From knowing me for a week, you'll learn that I am always thirsting for knowledge. I'm always researching my fancy of the day to quench that thirst. From the pictures below, you'll learn a little about my life. Just know that you haven't begun to scratch the surface.

Since there are no pictures of me on Project Lyrical Genius, I figured I'd just make a post that tells about myself on MY blog. This picture has a story behind it, as does everything I do. In the background, you can see my messy bedroom. Albert Einstein said, "If a cluttered desk signs a cluttered mind, of what, then, does an empty desk sign?" Well, at least we know my mind's not empty. ;) The colorfulness of the picture is rather uncharacteristic for me, but my hair does look rather stunning with six colors...

The mirrored image in the bottom left hand corner symbolizes the simplistic Jessica (three colors) vs. the complex Jessica (rainbow). Pretty cool, eh? [Photo taken in '08-'09.]

This picture represents my everyday life. In this picture are two amazing friends: on the left, another Jessica, and on the right, Morgan, [yes, that would leave me, in the center.] taken at our homecoming dance of 2009. Both of these lovely ladies have graduated and are leaving me all alone in high school. :'(

Symbolic in this picture is just how normal I can truly appear to be.

And this little guy represents happiness. When I need a little reminder that not everyone in the world is out to piss me off, or that not everyone in the world has the IQ of a rock, I take this rubberband off of my wrist, put it in the palm of my hand (which it barely fits in because I have itty-bitty hands), and just admire its adorable-ness. I have named him Koopa, because I think that was the little turtle-dinosaur-y guy on Mario, wasn't it? Oh, koopa, how I love thee.

This is my big brother Jarred and me, ages 5 and 2.

This snapshot of us on his fifth birthday represents

innocence and love. It also proves that I used to be a blonde and have some serious style skills.

Jarred and I again, now ages 14 and 16. We're somewhere in OK, posing for a picture that our parents are taking. There's a better picture of us hugging, but it's a candid shot and both of our faces are... too beautiful to be shown. These pictures show the family bond we've always had, through thick and thin.
