General Information

Hi, I'm Jessica. I'm an old school art-punk living in SoCal. I also have ADD and am easily distracted by... Oooo.... look at the bright shiny object! What was I saying?

Why I'm Here

My primary interest on Wikipedia are the articles on Deathrock and Death Rock Fashion - I've been been going to dance clubs and attending punk, post punk, deathrock, horror punk, etc. shows since 1982 and will occassionally videotap Punk/Deathrock/Horror Punk band performances. While I'm far from an expert on the subject, I don't want to see inaccuracies and misinformation in either of these articles, and will do extensive research online and consult with people in LA who were part of the early Deathrock scene before making any changes or revisions in the articles.

Education and Career

I have two B.A. degrees, one in Cinema (1998) and one in Psychology (1989). I currently work in the entertainment industry, but prior to that I was a social worker.

Interactions with Others

I'm a Pagan and strongly believe in the ethic of reciprocity. I also believe that since the internet eliminates the non-verbal cues which normally occur during interactions (unless maybe you use a webcam), it's important to communicate clearly and ask for clarification to in an effort to prevent misunderstandings when interacting with others on the internet, or when editing articles on Wikipedia.
