Hi My Name is...

Hi. My name is Jocelyn LaFemme but my friends call me Joc (pronounced like Joss). I am 25 years old and I work as an editor in New York City at Penguin Books. I also play bass during the evenings around town for various bands and as backup for whomever the specific club needs me to backup! Currently I live in Brooklyn, but I am hoping after a few more years of saving money I'll be able to move closer to midtown-Soho perhaps. I like to think of myself as outgoing and eclectic. I enjoy collecting tattoos, but only places where they can remain hidden while I'm at my "real" job. I love what I do in the daytime, but I thrive at night. When I'm playing my bass on stage at night it's only me and the stars...a real out of body experience. No worries, though, because after my set I'm back in the dressing room fixing the grammar of would-be authors. I just can't decide on which path to follow.
I love to travel and I'm currently in the middle of moving divisions at work so I will be in the travel writing/editing biz. I cannot wait! My first assignment takes me back to London where I did a year of study abroad. I've decided to create this blog (and the subsequent social networks-see below) to keep up with people while I'm abroad, find old friends and make new ones!
My favorite things are friends, movies and good wine (Pinot grigio, Riesling..etc.). The best night is one that combines all three. I also, of course, love to read and correct grammar, listen to music from all genres and generations (My fav is currently A Silent Protest! Check them out on myspace!). Otherwise I'm usually pretty laid back and content with ma vie!

I think that you character personality is really in depth and interesting. I don't have a facebook account so I could see everything you have on that site, but your myspace page is really good...I like that it's personalized in the way you'd expect your your character to do it. The only think I would do is find a way to add some pictures. I know on my page I had a hard time making "friends" until I got some pics up. It doesn't seem like you have that problem but it's something to consider.
