About Me

A little about me huh…. Well, my name is Jessica, but I tend to go by Jess, or Jessie. On my socials, I use Jessie Bug or Monkers. At the moment, I am in my 30’s so that puts me in the millennial generation. My birthday is November first (turning 33 this year *hides*). That makes me a Scorpio which some say is a bad thing, I do not think that at all.  I love my personality a little rough and soft all at once. You can say, I have one of those you either love me or hate me type of personalities I suppose.

However, I am very loyal to those that I deem close to me and I am always there when my friends and family need me. I do whatever I can to make people feel welcomed around me, unless they do something completely out of line. Once that happens, the mom side comes out.

Adult Life & Education

Currently, I have finished up my paralegal degree and certification for an ABA paralegal. Let me tell you doing full time school along with full time work in retail was not the easiest. However, I did it and its completed, kind of. I just have to fill out my application later this fall so I can get all of that completed! That means that soon I will have two degrees under my belt…. Or is it skirt since I am a girl…. I already have a degree in Film from the Los Angeles Film School that was done back in November of 2011. That was my first associate degree. Also, one that I thought would be amazing. As I love movies and tv shows and I always found myself stuck in those worlds.

In the adult world, *insert eye roll*, I am currently a Sales Specialist for Millworks (doors and windows) at my local Lowes. Its fun at times but in the end it is still retail. I do enjoy helping people create their images for their home a reality though. The only problem is that it makes me want to change my style up a bit in my own home. Right now, I am renting a home so I may include some tips in this blog about rentals and such.

Goals

There are so many goals that I have for myself that I am still working on. I want to become an author just like so many people. I also want to own my own home one here in Texas away from the busy concrete cities to a small country side to where I can hear the crickets at night and watch the stars peak out. I also want to open up my own photography business, once I get settled in one place. I am in the process of losing weight for myself and my health. I am hoping to have more family events and really helping my family feel like a family again. Lastly, I am slowly getting to know myself again and rediscovering things that I forgot or never got to experience. There is so much more but for now I think that is quite a bit.

Hobbies

Speaking of getting stuck in worlds, my hobbies are a bit all over the place…. Just like my mind. I come from a family of readers, so its only natural for me to also be a reader. However, as of lately I have been slacking in that department mostly because I have been dealing with real life. *Sighs* the adult world is never fair…. Anyways, so I am into many different types of books that you will find on here that I will give you my opinion on as I finish them. I enjoy reading a bit of romance, spicy romance, paranormal, science fiction, historical, time travel, mystery, horror, survival, post-apocalyptic, and apocalyptic books. So I am a bit everywhere with them. I am also into watching a lot of action, horror, adventure, romance, classic and even some kid movies that I will also discuss on here as well.

Video games are another way for me to escape the hard world that we live in. I currently stream on Twitch as well. I play a lot of adventure, horror, and action games along with some fun simple games. However, I will warn you most the games I play are a Mature rating games…. Kind of like most of the books and movies that I enjoy.

I am also into learning new recipes and trying to find ways of being more organized to be a ‘productive and responsible’ adult in this world, whatever that means anymore.

Basically here, we will go over whatever pops up in my head so sit back, grab your popcorn and enjoy the ride!
