CURRENT MISSION

To love.

ABOUT ME

Jen:
With a twinkle in my eye and a sword in my hand, I fly across the night sky with--oh wait, that's my alter ego.

Ahem. Real time. I'm fun and quirky and I'll never grow up. I'm professional when I need to be--I've got a love for excellence--but if I have to sacrifice happiness for professionalism, I'll toss professionalism into the cold depths of space, fire my twin proton torpedoes at it, and never look back. I care more about people than the rules, and that's gotten me both in and out of trouble before. I'm very passionate, too passionate sometimes, and I'm always in love. If a light-hearted fairy and a single-minded zombie could blend into one creature, that creature would be me. I'm deeply in love with my husband, and with one other Person, too. Yay Jesus! ^_^

PHILOSOPHY

Three things come to mind:

"To live would be an awful big adventure."
We love because He first loved us.
The world could use some changing. The world could use some love.

Intereses

I love loud singing, good food, good high-fives, and long walks on the tops of buildings or in underground tunnels at night. I'm a comics-geek-in-training, a once-was-martial-artist, a sad math-lover, and a history-learner. I'm hopefully going to be a doctor soon! I used to be a full-time paid writer, but now I'm studying medicine. Yay! I like to write about science and health, culture, and science fiction, and you can buy my horror short stories if you like! You can check out some of my writing on different sites like insertquarterly.com, examiner.com (look for Jen Veldhuyzen, my maiden name), and of course I'm all up on that twitter janx: @petr3pan. For horror stuff, you can google "Bleed anthology PMM" and I'll have something out on the "Fear and Trembling" site soon, too.

Algo increíble que he hecho

Stood under the waterfalls of Iguazu in South America crying as hundreds of tons of water crushed my senses and showed me how little I was.
Watched miraculous healings that changed my life and convinced me of God's love.
Walked the Nightingale floors that warned the Shogun someone was coming to assassinate him.
Fell in love, married a linguist, and gave him a Korean knife on our wedding day as a symbol of my trust.

Enseña, aprende, comparte

I have worked as an autism therapist, so I'm ABA Trained, and I'm also a certified Pharmacy Technician. Anything I can teach you? I'm also a fairly good manuscript-critique-er, so I can help with your writing!
