The Girl Behind Ankhesenamen

yep, that's me, Jenna

Okay, here's the place where I confess. No, I am not an Egyptologist. :) Well, not yet anyway. My real name is Jenna and I am a 17-year-old American girl who is, for some reason, nearly obsessed with Ancient Egypt. Yes, it's true. Although, I do have some "normal" hobbies as well, I love art (yes, those are really my art) and music. I play the flute and piccolo, and I just got a guitar (May 8th was my birthday...) About 3 years ago, I got the internet, and that is my newest obsession. I'm getting pretty good at this webpage stuff, wouldn't you say? :)

If you are curious why I use the name "Ankhesenamen" I guess I will tell you. As you can see, I am fascinated by ancient Egypt, and Ankhesenamen is my favorite personality from history. It's rather inexplicable. I love the Amarna period and the story of Tutankhamen, not his tomb; his life, I suppose. Don't get me wrong, the tomb is interesting, but gold doesn't impress me much... anyway, now I am rambling. :) The Amarna period, the time in which Ankhesenamen and Tutankhamen were born, is the most unique, and in my humble opinion, the most fascinating in Egyptian history. Also, the Egyptians believed that to speak one's name lets them live again, so...:)

Music? Hmm... I like Sarah McLachlan, Blessid Union of Souls, Jewel, Ani DiFranco, Dar Williams, Savage Garden, Lifehouse, Train... some oldies like the Beatles and the Supremes, and the Eagles... my parents love the Eagles, I grew up listing to them! :) My favorite color is blue, the closest I can get to telling you what shade of blue is the color of Lapis Lazuli, how appropriate, huh?

Personality wise, I am quite shy in real life, but tend to open up via the computer keys. I guess it's 'cause I don't like confrontations, and the internet eliminates that. I'm a chronic worrier, I seem to have taken the weight of the world on my shoulders, but I do like to laugh (it's the best medicine after all). I'm pretty much a private person, as I tend to keep my own counsel, and share the inner workers of my heart and soul with few. (Heck, by reading this, you probably know me as well as my friends do.:) I'm deep and somewhat spiritual, I suppose. I've spend countless hours pondering the mysteries of life. I believe in the unbelievable and inexplicable. I'm also a hopeless romantic... yes, I am. I love fairy tales and love stories. Romeo and Juliet and the Little Mermaid (the Disney version, the real version doesn't have a happy ending...) are among my favorites. I love to sing, though I'm not really in a choir or anything (too shy to try out!) but I sing around the house constantly. I'm pretty much a straight 'A' student in school. I've began writing again, a hobby I had enjoyed when I was even younger... :) Um, Family? I live with my parents and two younger brothers. One is 15 and the other is 11.

me again!
