About

Love is a passion for life shared with another person. You fall in love with a person who you think is wonderful. It's your deepest appreciation of the value of that individual, and that individual is a reflection of what you value most in life.

Call me Jenn, Jennifer, Lynn, Lynnbutt, Salem, Kitty, Sole, Q or Woman… they all have equal weight in my mind – However if you decide to start calling me something, keep calling me that. It drives me nuts when I hear people call me Lynn/Salem/Woman in the same sentence.

o.0# … One name… Please… -twitches-

There is ONLY ONE person who can call me Love, and he knows who he is.

I am a BBW 31 year old with purple/pink hair, a snappy disposition and a wicked sense of humor. I LOVE intellectual repartee, especially if it allows me to use my university degree for something (Oh wouldn’t my Negotiations: Theory and Practice Prof be elated ;) ).

Rover, wanderer, nomad, Vagabond, call me what you will (inquire the significance of that phrase – for this a major one).

People think that I am Unique and Weird because I am seeking to do the best I can in service to others. Little else in this world gives me the joy and fulfillment I receive when I accomplish a task, and it is a mark sense of pride when someone tells me that I did an exemplary job (No matter if the task is making a particularly beautiful piece of jewelry or scrubbing the kitchen floor).

If you entrust a task to me, I feel it is not just my obligation but my duty to do the best I can with what I have available. Half-assed completion of a task when I know something much grander is potentially possible just rubs me the wrong way, and I feel like it's almost a compel to fix the situation. That being said I am a strong willed woman. VERY. STRONG. WILLED (Hope that was obvious enough). If I allow you to become a part of my life, you will receive something truly –Unique-.

An Individual, whole in thought an action. An individual who is not money oriented, but experience oriented.

I am Loyal to those I have given my trust to, and would much rather be hurt myself than to allow something untoward to happen to those that I care about. I am not above sacrificing myself for others, and not in an “arrogant, self-serving” interpretation. I just don’t think that I am valuable enough to… warrant…

I do not see my own worth… that much is plain –frowns-

My skill set varies as I have taken many courses at the University of Winnipeg with a focus on Theatrical Production. I know how to build movie sets, theatrical set construction/fabrication, costume design, drafting, and art (LOTS of different styles and kinds). I know how to write, read at a fair pace, dance (if bribed) sing and face paint (Both kid style and professional special effects makeup). I’m in the middle of starting up two business ideas, and would LOVE any help in those regards. My skills and interests vary, however three things are absolute.

*1. I have a S.O. I respect and value that relationship, so please do the same in kind. I will have a ZERO-Tolerance policy in this respect. Disrespect him or me, and I will wash my hands of you. I have given out enough chances in this respect.

2. MUSIC!!! My GODS MUSIC!!!* I identify with music, and the right lyrics or feeling from a song can really get me going! Nothing feels more “comforting” or more supportive than a song I can listen to that contains a message. My music tastes reflect my mental well being too (So if you ever want to know how I am, ask me what song I’m listening to). However, keep country music well away from me… the same with most rap music (Sorry Trac).

*3. I have many animals in my home (Cats and dogs) and as such I have their marks on my body (I have two paws and the Chinese symbol for fur-ball tattooed on my back, besides facial and ear piercing). My animals are my family, and if you threaten that which is MINE…

-glares menacingly-

I protect that which I love… it’s part of the whole Loyalty thing. Also… I can be VERY possessive of my female friends, so if I happen to a cross a line in that respect, I am sorry. Let me know in a polite and respectful manner and I will probably prostrate myself in front of you in abject horror at crossing that kind of a boundary.

I have found that sometimes I’m bratty (I love to rile those that I love up, getting them all bent out of shape can be funny sometimes) however I am usually fairly tactful. Other times I can be commanding or controlling, wanting things to go how I want them to because I am fairly certain that is the best way to do it. I have enough intelligence to understand that in those moments I need someone stronger… Someone who knows better and can show me in a way that I can understand and process? But this seems to be an issue. I may be child-like (little) but I’m not dumb (I know I shouldn’t have to reiterate this, but it seems like people associate purple hair with stupidity?). I may be exceedingly stubborn, but I am willing to compromise, I just need to be shown why. I’m also (around adults) fairly dirty minded… I’d think my post of “Hell, I can show ya how to get to the gutter, I even know a shortcut!” might have ruined the idea of innocence. Around children, however, I am much more “clean”. Also I have not only my criminal backgrounds check but also my child abuse registry (it’s 9 months old now, but I was gonna get a new issue for the summer since I want to volunteer at Fringe).

Please remember I am human, and I have temper issues… so strange things can be triggers for me.

Like Cotton Candy in a bucket… or the feeling of soap on my hands when I am tired.

Also, food is an issue with me. After a number of years on the street, food has become a point of contention, and I delight in cooking a meal that people stuff themselves silly with. If you are willing to buy the ingredients and give me a hand while cooking, I’m more than happy to make whole meals for those that I care for with zero expectation beyond a truthful interpretation of what was presented (So I know how to improve for next time). So if I push you to eat, and you don't, again i am sorry... it's gonna take a lot to get rid of that habit.

Constructive Criticism is always appreciated.

That being said, I am Bi-Polar (Type Two) and have had to deal with bouts of depression, and my temper has often gotten the better of me. Think of a child throwing a temper tantrum, and you get me (Sometimes –chuckles-). However, all I usually need is a little time to cool off and then I can process better. I apologize if I offend when I’m like that, just give me time.

I am a GEEK! – Dear lord it took me a while to accept that title! I love to RP (Rifts, Palladium, D&D, Pathfinder, Drezden (or Fate System), VTM (both tabletop and LARP), online gaming etc), I love to stretch myself mentally and currently am stretching myself physically.

I do not have a job, but instead maintain my home for myself my S.O. and our roommate. I LOVE to tell stories, and usually I just need to be inspired to start going off on whole tangents. I was a DM for 12 years, an St for 5 and a GM for more years than I care to count (Oh the stories!!!)…

Such is the curse of the creative minded, eh?

Ask me about the Snowmen… you’ll understand when you hear.

A song that I think is accurate to myself right now:

She lives in the shadow of a lonely girl
Voice so quiet you don't hear a word,
Always talking but she can't be heard.
You can see there if you catch her eye,
I know she's brave but it's trapped inside,
Scared to talk but she don't know why.

Wish I knew back then
What I know now.
Wish I could somehow…
Go back in time and maybe listen to my own advice.

I'd tell her to speak up, tell her to shout out,
Talk a bit louder, be a bit prouder,
Tell her she's beautiful, wonderful,
Everything she doesn't see.

You gotta speak up, you gotta shout out,
And know that right here, right now,
You can be beautiful, wonderful,
Anything you wanna be.

~Little me.

Yeah, you got a lot of time to act your age,
You can't write a book from a single page,
Hands on the clock only turn one way…

Run too fast and you'll risk it all,
Can't be afraid to take a fall,
Felt so big but she looks so small,

Wish I knew back then
What I know now.
Wish I could somehow
Go back in time and maybe listen to my own advice.

I'd tell her to speak up, tell her to shout out,
Talk a bit louder, be a bit prouder,
Tell her she's beautiful, wonderful,
Everything she doesn't see.

You gotta speak up, you gotta shout out,
And know that right here, right now,
You can be beautiful, wonderful,
Anything you wanna be, oh,

~Little me.

UPDATE: I decided to add this to my profile after a LONG time saying this to other people. It’s from one of my most favorite Graphic Novel “V for Vendetta” with my own little twist.
Enjoy.

I am sorry to hear what has happened to you, and I know that right now you are feeling alone and lost.
Just remember that while others may take, you will be left with something small, but strong. An Inch... that is all.
An inch.
It is small and it is fragile and it is the ONLY thing in this world worth having. We must never lose it or give it away. We must N E V E R LET them take it from us.
I hope that whoever you are, you escape this head space. I hope that the worlds turns, and that things get better.
But what I hope most of all is that you understand what I mean when I tell you that, even though I do not know you, and even though I may never meet you, laugh with you, cry with you, or kiss you, I love you. With all my heart, I love you…. And I always will.
