OK so lets see, I’ve never been good at these. Um, hi! I’m Jessica. But please don’t call me that, if you must, call me Jess. A lot of people call me Cassie, too. Its a nickname I’ve had for yonks, and its ALSO an anagram of Jessica (Jessica = Cassie J. Yeah. Nifty.) I was born in December, 1993, in a hospital next door to a pub. The pub is completely irreivant to anything, but I thought it was cool. I am from Polish decent, and live in Sydney, Australia. My father is a Polish migrant, as was my grandfather on my mother’s side. I’m also part Welsh and part Irish. My parents have been married for something like 21 years. I have a little brother who’s just under 3 years younger. I have a family here in Australia, and a rather large family in Poland that I’ve never met (my grandmother on Dad’s side was one of 8 children, I think).
Currently, I’m in the final years of highschool. Its not that great, highschool isn’t the time of your life. I’m studying 6 subjects (cos you have to here), and particularly love Visual Art and Geography. I’m actually the only person in our school who loves Geography this much. When I leave school, I’ll probably (well, hopfully at any rate) go to a university or art school, study graphic design. I’d love to work in print & editorial editing, though everyone’s saying print is a dying art. Also, I really hate when people are all “yeah studying graphic design I’m so cool yeah yeah yeahhh” or whatever – I LOVE graphic design. I live for this stuff. Ask anyone who knows me. I’ve loved it for 4 years and I’m not some kid who loves making photoshop layouts and thinks milk carton designs are cool (even though they are but whatever). I get pretty adamant in making sure people understand my passion for this.
Honestly, there isn’t much else to me. I love punk, indie and electronic music. I love British cinema and television (people actually pick on me for it, they’ll find anything British and insist I like it on the grounds that its British. Or maybe only Jessica does that). I hardly get time to watch TV, and if I ever do its often online. I watch films all the time, I must go to the cinema something like 2-3 times a month. I don’t often go to concerts but I have seen The Getaway Plan live three times.
I buy magazines too often. I mainly get art or fashion editorial magazines, and the monthly Empire. There’s just something so fresh about a good magazine, a good burst of inspiration – nothing is ever the same, there’s a new flavour every month and its great in keeping my mind active, challenging it. I love the new, but cherish the familiar. I also love buying heaps and heaps of graphic novels (mainly of the Marvel kind), but never seem to read them until months after I’ve bought them. I don’t have any room left for a lot of the stuff I buy,
I also seriously adore Harry Potter more than a lot of things in the world. I can’t put into words what that fandom means to me.
I love blogging, online life. I love meeting people online, I love talking to new people, reading about lives of people I’ve never met. Its fascinating. Generally I’m pretty scared around new people and hardly ever make “new” friends, so online socialising kind of compensates for that. But its cool, I’ve met some of my best friends online. I’ve been blogging seriously for about 3 years, and I don’t ever want to stop, I always want a blog. I love pretending that people care about this kind of thing, of what I have to say. And maybe someday people will.
