Want to Know Me? (Are you sure?)
Disclaimer: This is an honest, uncensored post about this geeky goddess named Jenny Wadley. If you are my Dad, or uncomfortable hearing about some of the real-life details of my personality and habits, please stop reading (or listening, Dad) and come back another day. Deal?

Thanks to social media and my darling iPhone, I have made a lot of new friends recently. I thought that some of them might be interested to know a little bit more about me, without the hassle of 140-character limits. So, in no particular order, here is a by-no-means-comprehensive discussion of some facts about me.
- I am honest. But, I wasn’t always. As a teenager, I did a lot of lying. I have even stolen things (mostly candy, including one humiliating experience when I was in 5th grade). My honesty was hard-won, and because of that, I tend to be very honest now.
- I can be too honest.
- I like to talk. A lot. I am a verbal person, and I love to talk to people and get to know them, or talk about myself or my life and kids, or ask about someone else’s life and kids.
- I like to talk. In bed.
- I like to laugh. I am a fun person, and I love to hear or tell stories that make people laugh. I try to enjoy every single day. I don’t always succeed, but I know there is so much fun to be had in life, and I look for that fun every day.
- I like to laugh. In bed. Sex is hot and awesome, and yes, it can be hilarious. I love that!
- I have a wonky appropriateness filter. This would go along with the “too honest” bit. My longtime friends can tell you that I will talk about anything to anyone, at anytime. Especially at family gatherings. At my son’s birthday party, I was talking about erotica when I realized that my stepmother was behind me. I just kept on going. My friends told me that the look on her face was priceless. Whoops.
- I am sex-positive. Combine that with a wonky appropriateness filter and too much honesty, and sometimes you get trouble. At one Cooking Club meeting, some fool gave me a shot of Amaretto. I spent the next 30 minutes telling the the guys that its okay for them to be turned on by gay porn, and that they should try a butt plug. Yeah, think I alienated some people.
- I am cheerful. Glass-half-full here! Many days, that glass is all the way full.
- I don’t drink too often, but when I do, I can become a little exhibitionist. (Don’t everyone send drinks at once.)
- I am open-minded.
- I love music, especially music that has an emotional connection for me with someone or something.
- My first french kiss was while playing spin-the-bottle my freshman year of high school. I was amazed & wanted to do it again right away. My second french kiss wasn’t until my junior year. I was in hormone hell for almost two years.
- My husband thought I was a lesbian in high school.
- I love to read. Jane Austen, Sci-Fi, Fantasy, and, lately, a lot of Young Adult stuff. Hmmm… maybe that should tell me something.
- I love learning. I love knowing about things.
- I am more confident than I have ever been.
- I am sexy. This is a relatively new realization, but, damn, I can be really sexy. Like, I turn myself on. And I love being sexy.
- I am just me. This is what you get. I’m very open about the person I am, and the positives and negatives that go along with her.
- I really, truly like myself. And because of that, I think, I really like others. I love people. My friends, my family, my children – I give my love pretty freely, and I see the best in everyone.
- I am happy.
If you made it this far, you know a lot about me now. There’s definitely still more to know, though. And not all of it has to do with sex. Otherwise, my Dad wouldn’t be able to read any of my posts.
