30 year old cake baking, hat knitting hard ass. I have been living in the great city of Chicago for almost 3 years. I grew up in a VERY small town in Michigan. Welcome to my head…and my life.
I named myself Janed21 for a couple of reasons. The first was because I am not creative at all. The second was because I wanted some anonymity. Three, because 21 is my favorite number even if 17 and 20 were my best years of life, carefree and full of naughty fun. I often regret the choice of JaneD21 but what else was there? It seemed like everything had been taken. I’m not a mom so I can’t go that route. I don’t particularly have any talents that I perform on a regular basis, so I can’t go that route. I figured that by calling myself JaneD21 I was opening myself to the possibilities of blogging about anything I want….hence the “Life in my head” title. I should delve into my brain more and be more interesting but I am kind of hit and miss on the writing talent. Most of my blogs are “on the go” written from my phone or in the few stolen minutes I have with the ONE working computer in my apartment. I’m sorry for not being more interesting, I’ll try to step it up a notch.
A few interesting facts:
-Grew up on a farm. That’s right. A real country girl.
-I recently took my first plane trip.
-I have one cat and I knit…yes, I’m 30 going on 80 and my social life reflects it.
-I like classical novels…. Russian stories are my favorite at the moment.
-Movie-Buff… but who isn’t now a-days
-I like to bake.
-My boyfriend of just about 2 years has moved into my 400sqft apartment. This provides me with endless entertainment and blog topics.
-I just lost my favorite pet EVER! and it makes me very sad.
Think that is all for now.

I was very touched and moved by your blog on marriage and feeling that wasn’t going to happen for you. I only know you via your writing but really enjoy and like you. Finding love is a very random event. Have you considered finding a partner through an online service? (I know several people that successfully connected that way – leading to marriage). Alternatively, increase your chances of meeting the “right” person by participating in some club/meeting that interests you – kind of like buying extra lottery tickets.
You share some very intimate thoughts and feelings, and I truly believe you would make a great partner.
One more thing, I am a firm believer in positive thinking. So put out positive energy on this matter.
Smiles,
Tim

why didn’t you post this under the marriage blog?
Yes, I have tried various online dating sites. I don’t like them. I have had more luck in the “real world”. Although, I have met some really great people online, they just don’t do it for me. Thanks for the advice!
