20 Minute Intro
I have just applied some goop to my hair that promises to give me "dazzling highlights" so while it cooks, I'll introduce myself. I'm Jill, and I got this account because my friend Leslie who you call HelloReplace encouraged me to come out of the shadows and assert my presence here in Live Journal. I have been reading other people's journals forever, I love the eavesdroppy feeling. I don't know what I could possibly tell you about myself that would make you instantly find me fascinating, but trust me when I tell you, I am goddamned riveting when I choose to be. (I do not always choose to be.) I go off on tangents about things often because it pleases me.
It occurs to me if this hair thing doesn't work out, I may have to cancel my date for the evening. I can always wear a hat I suppose. Okay so back on topic, the wonderful world that is me. I love steak sandwiches, my dog, my friends, indie rock, indie pop, the F train, the OC, NY1, long stories, changing my mind, trying on boots, talking super fast, inside jokes, being alone in the darkroom, and snowboarding. I hate: ironic fashion, the word "straphangers," trying to street park, black licorice, and reality television. I'm originally from Iowa, but I went to school in PA and NYC not in that order. My parents owned a bar in a farming town in Iowa, so that's where I grew up, it taught me to be a little too candid at times, I have a poor sense of public and private information, but I make a wicked martini. My prize possessions are antique vending machines, keys and cameras, and a jukebox.
I work in Fashion, kind of, and I play anywhere it seems like a good idea. Now it's time to rinse the goop out of my hair, wish me luck! And nice to meet me, right?
