[edit] About Myself

Hello, I'm Jeanne Boleyn. My real name is Jeanne Maria Griffin, however most of my friends call me Jenny. (Yes, I do have friends, incredible as that may sound).

On 2 April 2008 I arrived as a user, due to my passionate love of history ( in particular the Middle Ages and Tudor England), and the desire to correct the many errors and omissions in Wikipedia. My first edit was to add a birthdate to the Virginie Amélie Avegno Gautreau (Madame X) article. My favourite personages from history are Anne Boleyn, Barbara Villiers, Countess of Castlemaine, Margaret of Anjou, Mary, Queen of Scots, the Romanovs, the Sforza and Visconti families, Anne de Beaujeu of France, Richard III and Lee Harvey Oswald. I am also interested in the recent, tragic period of Irish history commonly referred to as " the Troubles", as well as the Crusader kingdoms. I have always been intrigued by the sinking of the RMS Titanic. Sensational crimes such as the Black Dahlia murder and Jack the Ripper killings interest me as do unsolved mysteries. I happen to be a Tarot reader as well as an amateur astrologer, which is why I'm a stickler for exact birthdates.

Throughout my life, I've held an odd assortment of jobs which I'll thankfully not itemise here due to the fact that I've happily forgotten most of them! I currently reside in Sicily- fairly close to Mt Etna to be precise- although I am not Italian. I was, in point of fact, born in Santa Monica, California (lucky me), on 29 June 1958 when rock-and-roll was young, Elvis was king, Marilyn the queen, and the world was innocently slumbering in Eisenhower-induced conservatism, completely unaware of the 1960s which were waiting in the wings, and about to catapult onto the historical stage with their neo-pagan celebration of youth, rebellion, creativity, individuality, and oh-so-wonderful music. I am the youngest child of four. I have two sisters, Judie and Carolyn, and a brother, Steve. I attended Venice High School in Los Angeles. I am, however, mostly self-educated, hold no degrees, and did not attend university. (I do not regret the latter!) I have also lived in Ireland, England, Texas, and now Italy. I have visited Canada, Mexico, Wales, Scotland, and many American states.

My ancestry is Irish, English, French, and remotely Scottish and German. In fact, six of my maternal ancestors have their own articles on Wikipedia, including Adrienne Du Vivier, John Johns Trigg, George Walker, and Richard Townsend. My distant maternal cousin was Bernie Geoffrion, also known as Boom Boom Geoffrion. My zodiac sign is Cancer, with a moon in Sagittarius, and Aquarius ascendant. I have four children, Anton, Keith, Richard, and Tatiana (named after Grand Duchess Tatiana Nikolaevna of Russia); a big, bad gold cat named Tony, two canaries, and a plump, white pidgeon. I have dark green eyes, a dash of freckles across my nose, and am 5'8 tall (1.73). Currently my hair is long and dyed blue-black.

I have a penchant for black clothing, black footwear, and black nail varnish, and I own a rather large doll, photo, and book collection. I am currently collecting DVD's of my favourite films (see list below). I am a Nancy Drew mysteries reader, and have been so since I was a young girl. In the summer, I spend every single day lying on a Sicilian beach and swimming in the Ionian Sea, alongside the jellyfish and speedboats. My hobbies are reading, writing, photography, using the Internet, Tarot cards, studying astrology, genealogy, listening to music, watching films. I love discussions which can last far into the wee hours of the morning, travelling, and visiting ancient castles and places with a lot of atmosphere. I also enjoy going to car meets and watching Formula One on tv. I'm a fan of Michael Schumacher and Ferrari. Ironically, I do not drive a car myself!! My favourite cities and towns are Venice (Italy), Dublin, Rome, London, Edinburgh, Tombstone (Arizona), Taormina, and Belfast.

My politics are far- right; I'm a Monarchist, I believe in God and reincarnation, and I despise the current PC mentality as it restricts freedom of thought and smooth flow of speech. My social class is fluid, which basically means that I am intrinsically quite refined, and possess enough of the required social graces to mix easily in polite society, yet I am also street-wise, and if needs be, can find my way rather nicely around the gutter.

I'm also a long-standing Rolling Stones fan. Keith Richards is my personal hero, and in my opinion, the greatest rock guitarist of all time!!!

As far as Wikipedia articles are concerned, I am an inclusionist. Like Christmas presents under the tree, the more the merrier! As I'm just a wee bit opinionated (a trait I received from my Ulster forebears) I'm sure to annoy quite a few people. I shall now offer my apologies in advance. I do, however, strive to remain civil. You'll be hearing from me quite often.

Another bit of trivia: Back in the 1960s, I was a girl scout, but got kicked out for fighting and non-payment of dues! I prefer to use British English rather than American. I do not smoke nor do I imbibe alcoholic beverages to excess. This female also loves coca-cola, chocolate, Lapsang Souchong tea, lime Bacardi Breezers, and Mexican food!!!

My nicknames include Jenny, Medusa, and Lucrezia Borgia. My pet hates also include housework, cooking, ironing, and all other kinds of boring, mundane crap that consumes my precious time on this Earth. I also hate conceit, rudeness, condescension, and sarcastic people. I cannot abide dress codes at the workplace or other stupid rules of that sort.

As of 16 October 2009, I've made over 30,000 edits. I have never broken the 3RR, nor have I ever commited an act of vandalism. I have, to my regret, engaged in a few edit wars, one especially unpleasant and viewed by many. Most of the articles and stubs that I have created have been biographies of medieval heiresses and noblewomen. My most gratifying edits have been contributions to the Anne Boleyn, the Troubles, Anne of France, and Margaret of Anjou articles. My most difficult edit was fixing the grammar on the Caterina Sforza article. Well, I believe I've managed to adequately describe myself in one overlong essay.

Don't like me? No? Oh well... c'est la vie! Ciao for now!

Oh, one last thing: The Beatles are gear!

[edit] The Three Silver Rules of Survival at Wikipedia

• Go with the flow, man, or else you get the sh.t kicked out of you. Just picture yourself standing in the first couple of rows at an Aerosmith concert in 1978 amidst a seething, churning, agitated mob of drunken humanity and you'll get the picture.
• Keep cool Crazy boy/girl, keep it cool. Just like Ice in West Side Story. Cool.
• Occasionally one has to eat Humble Pie. Now, this is not such a bad thing, especially when it comes in the form of Steve Marriott. Yummy or more-ish as they used to say when I lived in Brighton.

In addition to the three silver rules of survival, to edit successfully at Wikipedia, one needs the courage of Richard the Lion Heart, the hide of an elephant, the patience of St. Catherine tied to her wheel, plus a decent library certainly doesn't hurt.

[edit] ARTICLES AND STUBS I HAVE CREATED

At the moment I have stopped creating articles in protest of the current deletions policy at Wikipedia. Until it is changed to the benefit of the creators and not the wreckers, I shall not spend my precious time adding new pages only to have them wiped out in one second's final judgement. If anyone cares to comment, feel free to leave a message on my talk page. The joint hasn't closed down.

[edit] Parallel Time

My user page and related talk page are proof in themselves that parallel time does indeed exist and was not merely a figment of Dan Curtis's imagination. On my pages, in various co-existing dimensions, the inhabitants of Naxos, Sicily have not yet been massacred by the army of Dionysius of Syracuse; Jesus, Dismas, and Gestus are drinking to their mutual health from a cup of vinegar; the Magna Carta is waiting for the royal signature, thus King John of England is happily walling people up and plucking out eyes; Charles d'Albret is arrogantly placing the visored-helmet upon his head as he disdainfully surveys the bedraggled troops of Henry V fine-tuning their longbows before the Battle of Agincourt; Margaret of Anjou is carefully selecting the man who will father her legitimate son, Edward of Westminster ("Butler or Beaufort, who shall it be? Oh, decisions, decisions"); Leonardo Da Vinci is painting a nervous Cecilia Gallerani (Hope that fu..ing ermine doesn't pee on my new Roberto Cavalli dress!"); Queen Anne Boleyn has not yet lost her head; the Spanish Armada is still a resplendant forest of oak; Lee Harvey Oswald is selecting curtain rods at a hardware shop in Irving, Texas; Brian Jones plays sitar for the Rolling Stones as (Ed Sullivan frowns in consternation); Jim Morrison cycles along Pacific Avenue; and user Jeanne Boleyn is seated (under dreaming spires) on Venice High School's quad which is an Aunt Ruby's quilt of various shades of lush emerald green grass; her long flowing hair iridescent with sparkling rainbow-winks of glitter, long coltish legs in their wide flared jeans crossed Indian-style, is giving free astrology lessons, and discussing with Tom W., Eric M. and Patsy G. the merits of David Bowie's latest Aladdin Sane album. Time, he flexes like a whore, falls wa..ing to the floor, his trick is you and me- Time by David Bowie, 1973

[edit] A nightmare for Jeanne Boleyn

I awaken to discover that:

• Henry VIII and his six wives, including Anne Boleyn, were a myth; they never existed (Scream!)
• The Rolling Stones mimed all their live performances (Scream!)
• It is February 1976, therefore:
• Internet and Wikipedia have not been invented yet, my only sources of entertainment are crappy TV sit-coms (Scream!)
• I switch on KMET (a little bit of heaven, 94.7), and the Peter Frampton song Show Me The Way is playing over and over and over......(Scream!)
• I open my wardrobe only to discover that all I've got to wear are high-waisted, flared jeans, wrinkly, knee-length skirts, horrible striped jumpers, rust-coloured t-shirts, and platform espadrilles (Scream!)
• I look into the mirror to find that my hair is its natural colour of dark brown and parted in the middle (Scream!)
• I am still in high school, so I walk down to Venice Boulevard and I catch the #75 Rapid Transit District (RTD) bus to Venice High School where I am forced to fight off the amorous advances of surfer Chris Biggs (Scream!)

Welcome to my nightmare.
