AHA! You found
me it seems. Welcome to my pages. And now I suppose you wish to find out
a bit more about me! Well my name is Jennifer but call me Softpaw, or the
Fae Kitty. And your probably wondering what a Fae Kitty is. Well to find
that out go here.
Ok wanting to know more about me, well my name is Jennifer but online I
go by Softpaw. I'm in my early 30's, I share my birthday with Elvis!.I'm
five foot ten inches have red hair and odd eyes that are hazel around the
pupil and blueygreeny around that. I wear glasses most times even though
I have contacts. My build is very very slender, I only weight 125 lb and
I have what I call a Dancers build. And NO I am NOT anorexic, nor do I
have any eating disorder of any kind. I have been stopped by very rude
complete strangers and asked if they can get me some help for my "problem"
and that I really shouldn't be starving myself. I am just naturally thin.
it's in my genes. So stop thinking all thin people are anorexic, becuse
we're not.
My father is a retired Lt.Col.
in the Army and as thus I have lived in many places, my full list is as
follows: Washington D.C.; Ft Huachuca, AZ; Clarksville, TN; Tampa, FL;
Ft. Levenworth, KS; Patch Barracks, Stuttgart, West Germany; Fayetteville,
NC; Seoul, South Korea; Walnut Ridge, AR; Powhatan, AR; Searcy, AR. and
Winston-Salem, NC. England, AR, Little Rock, AR., Ottawa, Ontario, Canada:
Greensboro, NC, Belleville, IL, and I am currently living in Aurora, MO,
my husgand's home town.
I come from a very close knit family, I'm the middle child, I have an older
sister
and a younger brother. My
mother
while my dad was still in the army was a stay at home mother. So we all
had a rather blessed and privileged upbringing. After all how many people
can say there sixth grade class trip was to Rome, Italy for a week!
I'm really
into the arts, it's where my skills lay, I was a drama major at Harding
University
in Searcy Arkansas and while I love being on stage and singing and dancing,
I also find great pleasure in making costumes and doing the make up.

Me as a CATS cat
for halloween, I made the costume and the make up I did as well going off
of an actual CATS makeup chart for the video version of Rumpelteazer!
Apart
from stage work, I also enjoy painting and cross stitching. I have some
of my works scanned in and you can go see them at my Art
page.
As one can probably guess with the fact that I am into drama, I LOVE musicals
both film and stage. My absolute Favorite play is CATS by Andrew Lloyd
Webber. In fact he is one of my Favorite composer. Along with Beethoven
and Tchaikobskey. Webber Wrote my Favorite song , Memory. I think it's
just so beautiful.
I'm really big into Disney. The music and the animated
films. Of them my favorite is Beauty and the Beast. Ever since I saw it
I just really identified with Belle, she's a smart strong woman who takes
matters into her own hands, loves to read and is a bit of an outcast from
those about her.
Other movies I am fond of besides Beauty and The Beast are: The Court Jester
with Danny Kaye, one of my favorite actors, The Princess Bride, Singing
in the Rain, Anastasia, and The Wizard of Oz. There are very few actors
or actresses I will go to a movie just because they are in it, and most
of them are dead already ! But those few are Judy Garland, Danny Kaye,
Gene Kelly, Katherine Hepburn and Michael Crawford. Michael Crawford is
also my favorite signer I just love his voice and would dearly dearly like
to see him perform live.
I read a lot mostly sci fiction and fantasy (Xanth and Disc
world are big favorites) but I have a few mystery writers I love,
Lilian Jackson Braun is one and Carol Nelson Douglas is the other. I even
once got to meet Mrs. Braun at a cat show in NC and she autographs
a copy of "The Cat Who Tailed a Thief" for me.
In case you
haven't figure it out yet, I love Fairies and
magic
and fairy tales and cats. Yes I believe that the fairies and the magic
is real. Call me stupid and childish if you wish, but that is just how
I feel. To many things in life have a magical touch to them for me to
not believe. And i'm not the only one out there that believes. Many people
do. one Group of people that believe are my friends that I have met on
the Ladies of the Myst, web
ring and mailing list, a wonderful group of fun loving feisty women and
I am so privileged to know them and be a member. Love you all!
I have many friends mostly
online, and some may say that sounds silly and how can you have close friends
online, well, you can, it's just like pen pals but, faster. My Closest
friends are from IRC and then those that belong to Ladies of the
Myst are starting to become close as well. I've even meet a number
of my IRC friends and have plans to meet even more! I can hardly wait!
Me and
my IRC friends all hang out in the out of Character channel of the Role
play channel I own called #Gilded_Rose_Inn.
Online role playing isn't like the role play most know about, It's more
like writing one long collective story that's ongoing. no dice (at least
not in my channel) or books or anything but your imagination.
I've
was in the SCA for a while but after getting married we where unable to
participate in with the nearest group. We have since become heavily involved
with Renaissance faires and my husband and I are cast members at White
Hart Renaissance Faire.
Well
seeing as how many people have something up on their religion, I felt ti
time I did as well. What Is my faith? I'm Wiccan. studying the Faery Wicca
Tradition. you can learn a bit more about it and about Wicca on my pages
here.
it is a vastly misunderstood religion.
For
those that have been wondering, Yes I have a significant other, My Wonderfull
Husband, name is Bob Simmons. Like I am a fae Kitty, he is a Dragon and
as such I call him My dragon.
My Dragon and I got married in 2002 . I made pages all about it that I
am slowly updating with planning information to what happened at
it. So far I have some pictures of it up and you can see those starting
here!
It's was a SCA medieval / renaissance fantasy style wedding. I plan to
leave my pages up because I have gotten many Emails from people asking
about where i found some of my items and for help on creating their own
wedding in the style we used.
