My name is Jenny. I used to keep a blog on Journalspace, which has sadly deceased. Last year I volunteered in Fiji for 8 months, and I started a blog on WordPress to keep my friends and family up to date, so I figured I may as well start a new personal blog here to replace my poor old Journalspace account.
That’s why I’m here.
I am nineteen years old and I come from a small Scottish town. I am a student in my first year at an English university, although I’m currently home for Christmas. I have a lot of hobbies and interests, but I’ll keep those for later. My page title is ‘Like so many girls’. This is a lyric from the song Jenny Wren by Paul McCartney.
Like so many girls
Jenny wren could sing
But a broken heart took her song away
I am like so many girls, my name is Jenny, but I can’t sing, and not because of a broken heart. I’m not the biggest fan of Paul McCartney, but I like songs that have my name in it, another example being Photo Jenny by Belle & Sebastian, but that one has tones of vanity in it. My old Journalspace account was jennywren, and that would have been my first choice username for this blog but it was gone already. Jenny Wren is also a character in a Charles Dickens novel that I have never read.
Maybe one day.
