Survey!

One of those silly surveys that gets passed around. Decided to post mine here. Also, I found a bunch of old pictures from when I first moved to Japan and I was taking pictures of EVERYthing, so I sprinkled them in randomly. They have nothing to do with the survey answers. Enjoy!

WERE YOU NAMED AFTER ANYONE:
I got my first name from my Irish grandmother and my middle name is the same as my mom*. Ironically, my Irish grandmother's real name was Jane, but everyone called her Jenny (hence me being Jennifer), and here in Japan everyone seems to think my name is Jane.

*As has been pointed out to me recently, my American grandmother's middle name was Jane, not Ann... not sure why I remembered it wrong. Let's just chalk it up to Jen's crap memory for now

Either way, it still fits in with the Jen/Jane theme ^^

Natural color is a fairly boring shade of dark blond that I find it nearly impossible to cover up in Japan. Also, it's increasingly gray.
