about.

Hello, my name is Jen. I grew up in a suburb of Vancouver, lived in Saskatoon, and now I’m back in BC living in Victoria with a wordy nerd. I have a degree in Sociology and Women’s & Gender Studies. I spend my weekdays at my job working for the weekends. This is one of many spaces I’ve kept online and it is the most public one to date.

I prefer to spend my time knitting, eating, making photographs, reading far too many books at once, laughing with my lady friends, riding my bike, and daydreaming about travelling to Iceland.

Dislikes: dust bunnies, olives, mosquitoes, dogs small enough to fit in your handbag, motorists who are rude to cyclists, plastic knitting needles, improper apostrophe usage, and cell phones.

Likes: making lists, cookbooks, obscure and/or independent music, wheat beer, Korean food, crossword puzzles, feminisms, documentaries, fancy pens, Settlers of Catan, the Oxford comma, and a good pun.

I made sure to have more ‘likes’ than ‘dislikes’ as to not appear overly negative. While I do my fair share of complaining, I’m generally a glass-half-full kind of gal.

Thanks for stopping by.
