"One cannot bathe in the same river twice." -Heraclitus
Jaelithe is an aspiring screenwriter (the operative word in that phrase being "aspiring"). She is also a sister, a daughter, a keeper of cats, and a friend. The bulk of her pre-college academic education took place at Mary Institute and St. Louis Country Day School, a private college preparatory institution in St. Louis, Missouri. The bulk of her primary social education took place there also, as a member of the Messing Autonomous Collective, which housed itself in a place of dim track lighting, pale beige cinderblock walls, frayed gray carpet, gouged, scored, grungy table-benches, and dusty, cigarette-scarred red couches-- a bohemian oasis in prepland-- the Messing Art Gallery. She is currently a junior at Washington University in St. Louis where she studies comparative literature, Hindi, film, and how not to choose in her next life a university that charges $27,000 per year tuition. She is employed part-time at the Edison Theatre of St. Louis. Jaelithe was born in St. Louis, she has always lived in St. Louis, and though she loves St. Louis, she will gladly hop the next flight, train, boat, bus, car, dogsled or interstellar alien transport ship the hell out of St. Louis as soon as any feasible opportunity arises which does not involve compromising her self-respect.
In her free time, Jaelithe reads, bakes, argues, practices tarot, composes letters and email to her friends, shoots people to steal their souls, revises the poetry that she sometimes writes in class instead of taking notes, and pretends to design web pages.
Jaelithe firmly believes that during high school she somehow blessedly happened across one of the best groups of friends in the world,
which is why so much of this site is devoted to them.
