Jen's F.A.Q.

 

What You Want To Know, But Are Afraid To Ask!
Hi! I'm Jennifer. This is a site dedicated to my favourite thing...ME! OK, I'm vain, but not THAT vain. Oh, wait...yeah, I am that vain. This is just a little FYI for you.

-----

I was born on 03 January 1980. That makes me twenty-five years old right now.
I like all sorts of things. Here are some of my favourites:

-Favourite Film
My favourite film is a French film called Les Enfants du Paradis (Children of Paradise). My second favourite film is Enchanted April. It's an English film starring Josie Lawrence and Miranda Richardson. My third favourite film is a tie between The Rocky Horror Picture Show and 8 Femmes (8 Women). I see many, many films, and it's really difficult to choose my favourites!

+ Audioslave
+ Janis Joplin

and SO MANY MORE!! And that was the short list! I have over 800 CD's and about 200 record albums so there's a lot I'm not including.

As far as concerts, I've seen No Doubt (twice), Ednaswap (three times), Weezer (twice), Linda Eder, Michael Feinstein, Toni Tennille, Melissa Manchester, Marianne Faithfull (twice), The Go-Go's, Sarah Brightman (three times), Berlin, Beck (twice), Gitane Demone, Caviar, Dynamite Hack, Blondie, Save Ferris, The Hippos, Poe, Andrew WK, The Casualties, The Flaming Lips, Neko Case (three times and once when she was playing with The New Pornographers), The New Pornographers, Procul Harum, Grey De Lisle, Nick Lowe, and I think that's it!

-My Favourite Actresses
Right now, my absolute acting heroine is Elizabeth Carling. She is amazing. Most recently, she starred in the BBC Wales series Border Cafe, but perhaps she is most famous for her role as the second Phoebe on Goodnight Sweetheart. Some of my other favourites are
+ Megan Mullally (Karen Walker from Will and Grace)
+ Alex Kingston (Dr. Elizabeth Corday from ER, and Ralph Fienne's ex-wife)
+ Laura Innes (Dr. Kerry Weaver from ER)
+ Kate Mulgrew (she's Captain Kathryn Janeway on Star Trek: Voyager)
+ Dervla Kirwan (most famous for Ballykissangel, the original Phoebe on Goodnight Sweetheart)
+ Brenda Blethyn (fabulous actress, she was in Secrets and Lies, Little Voice, and most recently Saving Grace)
+ Louise Robey (hugely underappreciated Canadian singer/actress, starred in Friday the Thirteenth: The Series)
+ Marina Sirtis (Deanna Troi from Star Trek: TNG)
+ Gates McFadden (Beverly Crusher from Star Trek: TNG)
+ Josie Lawrence (comedienne from Whose Line Is It Anyway?, she also starred in Enchanted April).
+ Jeri Ryan (she's most famous for playing Seven of Nine on Star Trek: Voyager, and now she's Ronnie on Boston Public)
+ Roxann Dawson (my girl played B'Elanna Torres on Star Trek: Voyager, now she directs a lot of episodes for lots of TV shows)
+ Fanny Ardant (Fabulous French actress who's starred in a few Truffaut films, and she played Pierrette in 8 Women)
+ Catherine Deneuve (Another French actress who's starred in MANY films, she played Gaby in 8 Women)
+ Isabelle Huppert (Still another French actress, she's the French Julianne Moore, and she played Augustine in 8 Women)
+ Angelina Jolie (There really is nothing to say about her because most everyone knows who she is!)
+ Laura Elena Harring (The brunette hottie from Mulholland Drive)
There are so many more. I could go on for DAYS!!

-My Favourite Book
My most favourite book ever is called Eureka Street. It's by Robert McLiam Wilson. It was recently made into a mini-series for the BBC starring Dervla Kirwan.

My second favourite book is called Imzadi. It's a Star Trek: TNG novel by Peter David.

My third favourite book is Matilda by Roald Dahl.

After, the top three, I'd have to say that all of David Sedaris' books are next in line (they are Barrel Fever, Naked, Me Talk Pretty One Day, Holidays on Ice, and Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim).

I read many, many books and I can't decide from ALL of them which ones I like. I read plays, scripts, novels, short stories, essays, children's books, and the like. I always carry a book with me.


----------------


I went to Europe in the summer of 1998. I went to France, England, Italy, and Spain. I had a smashing time! I speak fluent French and quite a bit of German. I want to learn Italian and Gaelic.

I work at a coffee shop called Starbucks. I like it a lot.

I grew up on 80's American television, so I have a special place in my heart for the sictom Soap. Soap shaped me into who I am today! I'm a big fan of television and pretty much consider it to be my third parent.

My favourite season is winter. I love the snow. I also love the rain. Where I'm at, it rains nine months out of the year. I don't mind. I make a pot of tea and sit on my front steps while it rains.
