My name is Jessica.
You can call me Jesi.
or Jess.

I am a nineteen year old aspiring music journalist who lives and works in the wonderful city of Chicago. I love music more than breathing and my collection ranges from Fall Out Boy, Cobra Starship and The Hush Sound to classical choral music and opera.

My favorite person in the world is Patrick Vaughn Stump. I believe that he is a musical genius, and I love that his talent and fame has not made him into something that he isn't. He is genuine and humble and he doesn't seem to see what the rest of us do when we look at him. I would give anything to just sit down and watch him compose or see him in the studio. People like him give me faith that not all in the music world has been destroyed by the modern-day scene of fake stars and, as Patrick himself put it;

"I have no patience for those types that ignore their art: those celebrities who forget what they’re supposed to be celebrated for and end up just going to restaurants and Hollywood parties – that’s crap. If you’re going to make art you want to be proud of, you’ve got to care about making it."

another Patrick quote that describes me pretty well:

"One of my problems is I can't be around art without trying to participate in it. I can't read because it makes me want to write. By chapter five of something, I've written more than I've read. Music is the same way. Walking down the street, if something's blasting out of somebody's car, I have to write something immediately."



I'm pretty laid back and don't have too many things I dislike. I respect most opinions, unless they're completely ignorant and foolish. I won't try to convince anybody to see things my way, but this is my journal and I have the right to express my feelings and beliefs and opinions in my own space, so if you don't like it, you don't need to read it. Skip along.

I am "friends only" but leave me a comment and tell me where you found me and I'll probably add you back. I like friends. A lot :)
