Where I Live:: UNM South

About Me:: I am director of online marketing and new media for a welding supply company....

Had to move to Albuquerque from San Diego when I was accepted in the MFA program at UNM.

Everyone always asks about my moniker, JeSais.... here's what I can tell you:

JeSais is my nickname, derived one new year’s eve. Actually we all came up with new names for ourselves that night– new names for the new millenium.

My friend Kim, became Miki, which is sort of the opposite of Kim… she was in the process of getting a divorce and we decided that she needed a new name for the wonderful new life she would be leading… actually I think the whole crazy plan was my idea, which was how I was dubbed “Je Sais”

For some time Ralph had been calling me, Je Ne Sais Quois (french for “I don’t know anything) instead of my given name “Jennifer” so that night, in drunken brilliance, I was re-named Je Sais, which is french for “I know”.

Marty wanted to be called Ibrahim… the Spanish translation of the name Abraham. He had a long explanation about how great Abraham (the biblical one) was… and the rest of us, laughing uproariously, named him “Ibby” as any translation of a biblical great was way too lofty for one with as big an ego as Marty…

Ralph became “Stack,” an old nickname of a favorite uncle and the rest is history….

Favorite Thing(s) About Albuquerque:: don't know yet!

Relationship Status:: Single

My Website:: http://akajesais.com

What I'm Reading:: Reading Lolita in Tehran

What I'm Listening To:: Gnarles Barkley

It's great to have a bike, but it takes a lot of patience and practice. Are you thinking of getting one??

Are you in ABQ yet? There is a great motorcycle class here. Let me know if you want more details. Good luck on your move (if you are not here yet!)!

Anyway, have not even gone beyond the title of your post, as title tickled me so much, I just had to savour it.
I assume you will be moving to ABQ and looking for info. You are welcome to PM me and I will be happy to give you whatever info you need. Thanks for the laugh, now I will read your post.
