Little 'ol me
Salve!
I figured that I'd follow the footsteps of everyone and introduce myself to everyone since I don't really post a lot about myself. =|:^)
My name is Jessica and I'm from Texas and proud of it. :^) I have a twin sister, who also has an LJ:
slwmtiondaylite
I'm currently in my final year of college, though it's taken me longer than 4 years to get to this point as I switched my major from Communication Design.
I am now an Art History major; emphasizing the Italian Renaissance. I just took a course all about Leonardo, Raphael and Michelangelo and could probably recall almost everything we talked about... lots of interesting stuff on these guys. I've also got a lot of knowledge (or at least I hope I do) about women artists of this time period which is hard to come by, but my professor was determine to teach us about artists that aren't studied as frequently as others, namely male artists..
I am also a Latin based Classical Studies minor. I've studied Latin for a year now and I hope I don't forget anything when next semester starts up. But I've also taken classes in the culture of the ancient world in Greece and Rome...
I'm also a digital artist. I've been published a couple of times. Once in a little known 3D modelling book and then in a major publication for digital art from Ballistic Publishing called Expose 3. I was so happy when they accepted my work. I've admired a lot of the artists that frequent these publications, but I never thought I'd be accepted. :) I have a website that really needs to be updated, but *shrug* I'll get around to it soon.

I have 4 dogs. Well, I have one, my sister has one and my parents have two puppies. Three dachshunds and a basset hound. They are the cutest/sweetest things on the planet. Here are some of pics of them :)
Gus on the left & Willie on the right. These are my parents dogs. This was taken when they were still puppies. They are almost 2 now.
Coco on the left (she's my doggie and she's 6 years old) and Sherlock the Basset on the right (my sister's dog, we're not sure how old he is as we got him from a shelter.)
I am a HUGE Johnny Depp fan. I've loved him since 'Sleepy Hollow' Occasionally, I'll go into a mode where all I watch is Johnny Depp movies...My current favorite movie of his is Sweeney Todd... LOVE it! :D
I am a Buffy/Spike shipper... I don't think there's a character I've loved more than Spike... Seriously, if he was real, I'd be all over him, ;^)
I am a big Mulder/Scully shipper... They are the Original Ship and nothing can compare to them. :)
I am also a big Darren Hayes fan... loved his music all the way back to his Savage Garden days. 10 years later and he's still getting better. :)
I am a closet Trekkie...to a point. I mean, I don't go to conventions wearing Klingon costumes, but I can understand most of the technobabble with all the warp cores, dilithium and tachyon trails and tractor beams... yeah, my mom and older brother were Trekkies, I'm just the product of my environment. :)
I love House/Cameron. I'm honestly not sure why, but there's just something there that draws me in apparently.
I also like Booth/Brennan. I love Boreanaz a lot more as Booth than Angel...Booth doesn't irritate me as much :) And Booth and Brennan are so cute together.
...I guess that's the story of my life so far... Not much to me, but I just wanted to introduce myself for those who don't know me all that well... =|:^)
