Create your album cover

To Do This

1 - Go to Wikipedia. Hit “random”
or click http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random
The first random Wikipedia article you get is the name of your band.

2 - Go to Quotations Page and select "random quotations"
or click http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3
The last four or five words of the very last quote on the page is the title of your first album.

3 - Go to Flickr and click on “explore the last seven days”
or click http://www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days
Third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.

4 - Use Photoshop (I used Microsoft's "Paint" accessory) or similar to put it all together.

Well it looks like my music will sound very similar to Enya if the cover has anything to do with it...

HOLY AMAZING NEWS

I just found out that my urban mishpacha might be living in the same city FINALLY!!!!!!!

Urban Mishpacha = Urban Family, those who are not blood relatives but can be your sisters because you've spent so much time together people would think you grew up together/ you even start to resemble each other.

Now, how are my Urban Mishpacha? Well, I have a few peeps. Two of which will NOT be living in said city, which is muchas sad. Those two are Eva and Koop. *single tear* Unless Eva wants to move back and Koop wants to go to grad school there!

Who are these other amazing women I call my Urban Mishpacha?
  • Stephanie- She has been my best friend and resident "calmer downer" of me since my senior year in High School. Since I moved to Israel, then Chicago, then LA we haven't lived in the same city since my sophomore year of College. She now lives in NY after having been a teacher in Teach for America and now she works for Scantron. I love her.
  • Whitney- She has been my best friend since I lived in Chicago and we fell in love in Toronto, CA. That is when, as we say, "our love blossomed". Since I moved to LA, which was only supposed to be for 5 weeks and ended up being 2 years, we haven't lived in the same city. She currently lives in Jerusalem, Israel attending Pardes. She learned yesterday that she was accepted into Columbia Graduated school of Social Work. I'm so proud of her!
  • Lauren- She has been my best travel buddy since Summer '08 when we staffed our first birthright trip. After that trip, despite living in the same city, I only saw her a handful of times, one of which spending shabbat with her family in the OC. Even though we have only spent 2 birthright trips and a handful of times outside of that together, those two birthright trips really made us close. We REALLY are like sisters. In fact, on our last BRI trip one of the guys said that he thought we hated each other for the first 2 hours we were in Israel because we were fighting, then after that he thought we were best friends. That's how we are. She's like my little sister. She lives in Brooklyn with her bro.
  • Tanya- She can't really be called my Urban sister because she really IS my sister. (Actually my cousin, but in Serbian there is no word for cousin, so she's always been called me sister). She lives in Jersey City, but will be moving in with her boyfriend, Go Diego Go, in about Harlem-ish, shortly.
I have been thinking about moving to NY ever since the New Year of 2009. I now know that I HAVE to do it. It will be hard at first but at least I have great friends/family to help me through it.

Peace,
Jessi
