Jane's thoughts from Sydney
Who is Jane?
Hello my name is Jane. I am a 19yr old IT student living in Sydney.
If it matters to you I have green eyes and red hair. However my rat Wisp doesn't care about the colour of my eyes, Wisp loves me just because I am me, and really what more can a girl ask from a housemate.
I do haiku do you?

Wisp the rat
Let me introduce you to Wisp.
Where am I?
This is where I live. No you can't actually see me in the photo, because I don't live right there where the photo is taken but rather that I live in Sydney - the one in Australia. I suppose I could show you a photo of my house, but it would just be a photo of a house and not a particulary intresting one. Besides I don't know you well enough yet to invite you round for coffee, but who knows what the future holds.
Why JigsawGirl?
So who is Jane when she is not trying to "be" anything and why JigsawGirl? I wish I had an easy answer for you, but how can we really get to know each other without physically meeting, are virtual interactions enough. How many facts do you need, which ones will allow you to understand who I am. Ok, I'll tell you something else about me, I love shoping. Do you know me better now? How many pieces will you need before you start to see what the jigsaw is trying to show.
How would you describe "you" to a stranger? You are not your job, your age or your appearence. We wear masks and change form all the time - becoming whatever person that the situation requires. I have numerous aspects, and play many roles. To my parents I am still a child, and to Wisp I am "the great food Goddess".
Some days I wake up, look in the mirror without recognition. So maybe I should have called this site CameleonGirl. But I think that I like JigsawGirl better so if you will indulge me that is who I will be for you. I will lay out the piecies and you can make of them what you will.
All this makes me wonder, if you actually passed me in the street (in a non virtual way) would you notice me? Would you be curious where I was going, would you smile, would you regret not stopping to say hello. Why should you care?
My Friends?
If you feel like meeting again perhaps I will introduce you to Mel, she's my best friend and knows where most of the pieces fit.
Perhaps you can meet some of my other friends too. But for now you will just have to be contented with Wisp and I.
Becoming clear
So you have had a small glimpse into my life, hardly very satisfying but it's a start and perhaps in time I will reveal a little more. But for now you will have to be content with a quick impression. Two cloaked figures, passing, pausing, then gone - pulled apart by their own momentum.
Ambitions
There are lots of things I would like to do in life, but when I am old and grey looking back on my life what would I regret not doing.
I would love to go shopping in Paris, London, NY. A world shopping extravaganza. That's something that I want to make time for.
The Journey
On the internet we are all blended together. Our thoughts, actions and ideas carried by electrons, propagate and interact with the countless speeding electrons sent by others. Events ripple onward and outward taking on a life of their own.
Every home page a bricolage. Every blog a bright vibrant flower, enticing us to pause, spend a moment, then move onwords. Carried by currents shaped from our very desires.
This is what I love about the Internet. This is why I have taken the time to craft this particular flower, which has sat unnoticed, patiently waiting for google to carry it's scent into your wandering path.
And now you will be carried onwards again, but our paths are bound to cross countless times, unknowingly and perhaps knowingly we will interact create new flowers and travel on.
