let's get familiar

girl
my name is jenee-lynn corredor. i am a full time student that spends most of my time creating useless pictures of naughty girls. i grew up with highly eccentric parents. i have a very rational colombian father and an aloof jazz singer mother. they divorced when i was 15 and have chosen to not communicate since then. growing up my father owned a greenhouse full of tropical plants where i spent most of my time rolling in soil talking to my older sister. my mother would cook 4 hearty meals daily. she would give us baths in gigantic metal basins and lay us down for naps with wet hair. the first 10 years of my life were spent falling asleep next to my sister listening to her dream noises. we're all very close with few secrets between the 4 of us. both my parents encourage high levels of self awareness and creativity. books and honesty are regarded above all in our little jigsaw family. smells are the strongest sensory connection to my past. these days i spend almost all of my time learning about the world at a community university. this summer i am embarking on a move to oregon with the man i plan to marry. soon we will have a home of our own to fill with our love. alot of people ask why i almost exclusively draw tender looking females,and the answer is actually a lot more simple than you would think, they are just softer. i completely enjoy candy(all sorts), lazy days spent laughing till your stomach cant possibly handle another giggle, kissing lover boy, getting covered in my dog buckley's hair(not really the hair part but the events leading up to it), talking to my parents about their childhoods, sharing secrets, listening to quiet music, running fingers through someones hair, shouting(but not the angry kind), making new playmates, telling my existing playmates how special and dear they are to me, drawing sugar coated baby girls, kneading dough, stirring lemonade, washing my hair in cold water and letting the water drips find their way down my back, going to the park, and looking for new hiding places. i lead a generally slow paced existence filled with quaint moments and gentle people.
sincerely,

your biggest fan ms. jenee-lynn
