let me introduce myself

thejehn January 30th, 2008

im jennifer. a fairly new member to the aldea family.

i draw kitchens to pay the bills. i take photos and make art to keep myself sane. i would like to rebel much more than i actually do. how much i would love to love and not feel that i did it out of habit or duty. i play scrabble a lot, and often indulge in local eateries around town. you can often find me at the loft watching the latest french film.

when you speak of building community, i permit myself a furtive sneer, because i don’t want to hide from myself in the safety of your numbers – part of me still clings to the idea of being alone and in danger in the agony of solitude which i know and love. but this is me trying, giving it my all to be a part of your community. i will say, i am very excited to read these books as a group.

Happy New Year to y’all

Jayne January 8th, 2008

Hi there. Don’t know if y’all spreads as far west as you guys are, but happy 2008 anyway. My name is Jayne, as per Jared’s request to introduce ourselves. I am Belfast born and based, though not bred. I have really enjoyed the chance to get to know just a wee bit, some of the folks who have visited Belfast, and hope this online thing will help us develop the friendship. I see it is already widening the scope of long distance slagging of Pete!

Anyway, I hope to join in the book discussions, so better get on to Amazon soon! Stay warm and keep smiling.
