Mirror, Mirror

Several months ago, I had the good fortune of being found by the person I like to, somewhat narcissistically, consider my namesake.  Here's the story.  Jennica's Aunt Brenda is a good friend of my mom.  Mrs. Brenda's oldest child is only a year younger than I am.  The Fincher kids and my sister and I grew up together, jumping hay bales and playing "capture the flag" in the woods.  As Jennica's mom was looking for a name for her daughter, she asked her sister (Mrs. Brenda).  Mrs. Brenda mentioned that she had a friend (my mom) who named her daughter (me) Jenica.  And so, Jennica got my name.  Lucky her.  As far as I can tell, if your name is Jennica, you're probably going to have a certain sense of adventure.  You'll definitely want to travel the world, yet you'll keep a few places as the countries you love the most.  You will be passionate about the things you value, look younger than your actual age, and teach English, at least for now.  From what I've surmised reading the blog, Jennica is waaay cooler than I am, but that just makes me even happier to share a name with her.  Read her blog. It's great.
