Hi! I'm Jessica! Figured I'd stop lurking and join in the fun!

I've been a huge fan of Chuck's for years now, ever since my friend in AZ turned me on to his books. I would love to actually transform myself into Chuck but since I can't do that I settle for writing my own stories, poetry, and songs. I love to write! I was lucky enough to catch Chuck live last year on his Damned tour in Jackson, MS and he was everything I dreamed he'd be! Funny and amazing and rougue-ish! Aaahhh! It was a definite highlight in my life, for sure! This year, I made the leap and got 2 Fight Club inspired tattoos and I absolutely love them! I hope to add another very soon. I'm hoping to make the trek from MS to Oregon and up to Washington next year, I'd love to visit Chuck's home turf; take my notebook and get some coffee and write! That is my idea of heaven!

More importantly, how do you feel about UGG Boots, Cheap Prom Dresses, and Genuine Replica Rolex Watches?

1. If I could burn down all the Ugh factories in the world, I would.
2. Cheap prom dresses are what I wear everyday of my life, so yes, I enjoy them.
3. Meh, watches are boring. Clocks, however, are exciting!

This was the first one I got.

The second.

Those are beautiful.

How do you feel about having them where you cannot see them easily or daily yourself?

I saw those tattoos before on The Cult's tumblr account and thought they were pretty cool. Welcome!

We already have a Jessica! I like the first tattoo, though the writing is kind of tiny.

I live in the hot south and get to wear lots of low back shirts and tanks so I decided that if I'm judged by appearance, I want my say, too. These words describe me best; I have fallen and I will never be perfect.

My next tattoo is for myself, a reminder, you might say and it will be tattooed across my ribs so I see it everyday.

Winking doesn't do much for me. Unless the other Jessica does it. She's hot, man.

Are you in school? What are you studying? What book are you reading right now? What do you do during the weekends?

School? Oh no. I'm not a kid, thank god. I work in Radiology at an imaging clinic. I sing in band on the weekends. I'm about to embark on renovating an old bank building from 1932 that I'm to inherit to become an office space with adjoining apartment. I'm currently reading Invisible Monsters Remix, when I have time. Thanks for asking.

Hello, I'm the other Jessica. I like you and I think we'll be very happy together.

Who's your favorite non-chuck author? What's your favorite non-fight-club movie? Did you always want to be a radiologist? Were you disappointed by the lack of radios? What's your power animal? Who is the most perfect fictional couple? What's your favorite tv show? Favorite band? What's the name of your band? Do you have a nickname? Would you like some lobster?

Did you not enjoy being a kid? What kind of music does your band make?

Well thank you Jessica! In my experience, I find most Jessicas to be pretty cool and I'm sure you are no exception.

Joshua Ferris would be my other favorite, if you haven't read The Unnamed, it's definitely worth a read. I highly recommend it for anyone to better understand someone struggling with impulse control whether it be physical or mental. Great fictional read with elements of real life struggle. I love Kill Bill and most Quentin Tarantino films. I fell into Radiology after a stint in Audiology. I'm not a Dr. actually, I work alongside him as tech/support staff. Lacks of radios is a bummer but the amount of radiation that is scatter-blasted into me everyday is pretty awesome. Power animal would be a hamster, unassuming but able to be it's own storage unit. April Ludgate and Andy Dwyer is the perfect couple from my favorite show, Parks and Recreation. Nirvana, I was actually alive and able to buy their cds when they were playing live so I'm not a poseur in that regard. Beck, Radiohead, and Pixies are currently on my Walkman also. I was previously in a band called Cooper Black with my AZ friend who turned me onto Chuck and my new band is called Vicious Cycle, it's hard to classify my music so I'll just call it low-fi, garage crap. I'm currently learning to play mandolin because ukeleles are a dime a dozen youtubes. My family calls me Jessie and my partner calls me Jess. I love lobster and would be happy to share with you over a cup of drawn butter, my new friend, Jessica. *smiles*

Teenage angst has paid off well, now I'm bored and old. The main perk is I can buy my own comic books now.

Here's some garage crap and some other crap and you can make your own call.

Perhaps due to my location but in my experience, I find most Jessicas to be at least 50% African American but judging from your avatar, you are an exception. It's disappointing but I'll get over it.

Never heard of Ferris but sounds interesting. As is your choice in power animal. I'm not particularly envious of you getting scatterblasted on a regular basis but if it's what you're into, I won't judge.

April and Andy?

I like Nirvana and Beck and Radiohead and Pixies as well but purely in a poseur kind of way.

Whatttttttt... we have the same nicknames!? That's crazyyy!

Bon appetit.

A good friend of mine listens to old Jazz on a reel to reel. He's from Moscow and when the CCCP collapsed he came here, bringing the reel to reel player with him. I used to tell him that while he was listening to his music, Soviet Tape Player was listening to him.

I prefer to listen to vinyl or cds on an actual stereo, but I can't carry that shit around with me on the subway so I put mp3s on my phone. I'd like to see you carrying reel to reel tapes around in your pocket.

I enjoy carrying around several GBs of music, which would be quite annoying with a walkman. Also, when the batteries are dying, and the walkman starts to slow down the music? It drives me nuts. I always get paranoid and wonder "Is it playing slower now? Am I crazy?". NO! Go iPod.

So you wake up after a good nap on the couch, the cat wandered over sometime during your sleep and has perched himself just above your head. Even though you're awake he is in no mood to join the world of the living. What is he dreaming about? And what kind of bread would he have on his dream sandwich.

It is good to not worry about people judging you but that was not what I asked.

I meant, how do you feel about having a written tattoo in which the words mean something to you in a place where you cannot easily read it yourself?

My only quote tattoo I put in a place where I literally look at it and read it daily, I also had it put on so the direction of the words face me, so I can read it, it is upside down to everyone else because it is not for everyone else- which is the main comment I get on it "why is it upside down?" ..."well, hon. It isn't. I can read it and it is for me not you, therefore it is not upside down."

I just always wondered about quotes that mean something to people being put in places where it is easy to forget they are there as the person cannot see them.

I'm thinking of getting a tattoo soon. A small one and it's funny about the upside down lettering thing Amber, I'm thinking of getting a tattoo so I can read it in the mirror, as my next tattoo. I was supposed to have a consult today but I didn't get out of my break on time.

I like this idea. I have heard of it before, but never seen anyone with anything like it.

What would you have it say?
