About Myself
Hello, I'm Jeanne Boleyn. My real name is actually Jeanne, however most of my friends call me Jenny. (Yes, I do have friends, incredible as that may sound).
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 Italy although I am not Italian. I am a member of the Tony Manero generation and was born in Santa Monica, California (lucky me), on 29 June in the year 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 was waiting in the wings, and about to catapult onto the historical stage with its 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 (surf city, here I come) in Los Angeles (ah...El Lay, land of the flashy, rich movie star). 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, two weeks in Florida, and now Italy. I have visited Northern Ireland, Wales, Scotland, Canada, Mexico, and many American states.
My ancestry is Irish (both Southern and Northern), English, French, and remotely Welsh, 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 Canadian hockey legend Bernie Geoffrion, also known as Boom Boom Geoffrion, and one of my direct ancestresses was a notorious La Baleine Bride. 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 and an affectionate, sprightly grey and white Aegean cat named Marilyn. 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 beach and swimming in the warm azure sea, alongside the jellyfish, speedboats, and lifeguards. 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, dancing, 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 (O irony, sublime irony!!) My favourite cities and towns are Venice (Italy), Taranto (Italy) Dublin, Belfast, Rome, London, Edinburgh, Tombstone (Arizona), and Taormina.
My politics are rather right-wing; I'm a Monarchist, I believe in God and reincarnation, I am of the Anglican religion 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 admit I have done so on occasion, but shall not delve further into that (Sorry but one must retain a bit of mystery, no?).
I'm also a long-standing Rolling Stones fan. Keith Richards is my personal hero, my male alter-ego, 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 keeping only the merest trace of acid on my fingertips.
I'm a Medievalist, or to use the local lingo, a Wikimedievalist (One has to always keep abreast of the current slang to maintain one's cool, hip, with-it image).
You'll be hearing from me quite often. (Now this is an understatement, if there ever was one!!)
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, Red Bulls (Olé!), 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, sarcastic people, and those who use profanity to flex their muscles in a pathetic attempt to intimidate others with their balls-out stance. The fact that I happen to use profanity to excess is neither here nor there. I cannot abide dress codes at the workplace or other stupid rules of that sort.
As of 22 May 2010, I've made over 45,000 edits, with my 45,000th edit being to the Barbara Villiers article. 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. I believe I have partially succeeded in bringing many long-forgotten figures from out of the lonely shadows of obscurity and into the dazzling light of historical recognition. My most gratifying edits have been contributions to the Anne Boleyn, the Troubles, Anne of France, Isabella of Angouleme, Margaret of Anjou, May Overthrow, the Dublin and Monaghan Bombings, and the Miami Showband killings articles- (these last two were extremely harrowing). 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 (said with nonchalant neo-Templarian hauteur). Ciao for now!
Oh, one last thing: The Beatles are gear and The Rolling Stones are the greatest rock band in the world!
And do remember that we are all just prisoners of the planet Earth and its arbitrary whims.......
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.
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.
When all else fails, and you just cannot take anymore; head over to YouTube and watch a couple of your favourite music videos. That always serves to calm me down. My advice as must-see, good-humour-inducing videos are The Rolling Stones Faraway Eyes (yep), Pet Shop Boys Always on My Mind, The Doors performing Touch Me, Dexy's Midnight Runners Come On Eileen, Three Dog Night The Show Must Go On, The Beatles I Need You, Steve Harley and Cockney Rebel Make Me Smile (Come Up and See Me), The Small Faces Itchycoo Park, Kate Bush, Them Heavy People, Haysie Fantayzee John Wayne is Big Leggy, Adam and the Ants' Stand and Deliver, Fifth Dimension Wedding Bell Blues, Modern Romance Best Years of Our Lives (John Duprez playing his trumpet wearing a flight suit and goggles is priceless), Black Oak Arkansas performing Jim Dandy to the Rescue live, and The Undertones My Perfect Cousin.
Let me add the caveat that my articles are not written with the purpose of offending, demonising, castigating or exonerating any group or individuals; but rather to inform readers of events that happened during this sad and bloody conflict, and the people who were involved.

My 118 Favourite Songs
I am a rock and roll baby. I was born to the sound of the Big Bopper, grew up with the music of the Beatles and Rolling Stones, and I now dance to the tunes of Yolanda Be Cool and Pitbull.
Let It LooseRolling Stones This 1972 song with it's skillful mix of sounds and genres is a triumphant manifestation of the musical genius that is the Rolling Stones. I'm glad I was around to appreciate it when it was first released. Accolades to Dr John.
Everyone's Gone to the MoonJonathan King Reminds me that every day someone or something has gone to the moon. If only the world can stop on its axis and let certain things remain the same...forever
At LastEtta James Love makes the heart, body and soul sing with the joy of connecting with another human being who wants to share his existance with you
Old Judge JonesLes Dudek Great song by a brilliant, underrated guitarist. Twas a wee bit disappointing, however, to discover his Confederate roots went back no further than 1959!
Fade to GreyVisage (Stepping out of a back shop poster, wishing life wouldn't be so long)
Under the BoardwalkThe Drifters Takes me back to the Santa Monica Beach pier in 1973. I can still feel the Pacific Ocean's breeze in my hair, hear the music blasting out, and taste the snowcones.
Sukiyaki (Ue wo Muite Aruko) Kyu Sakamoto A simple, winsome yet emotional love song sung in Japanese. Reminds me of days long gone, and of all the people and things that I sadly have lost
Performer Tatiana at a presepe viventeTatiana in the role of seamtressPerformer Richard in the role of arrotino

These are some of the famous people who have insulted me in the past, for various reasons which I'll not elaborate on here. They include Mae West, Candy Clark, Cindy Williams, legendary singers Teena Marie (RIP Tina) and Billy Bragg, the wife of Finbar Furey, a noted Tudor historian, several popular Los Angeles disc jockeys including Wolfman Jack, and a gang of quite notable groupies (male and female) outside Rodney Bingenheimer's English Disco on Sunset Strip in 1973. (The gang did not like my Venice Beach style, Indian-print crop-top and I wasn't in my No More Mr. Nice Guy mode that day). I should also note that none of those groupies, in all likeliness, would have been able to locate England on a map nor name a famous English person who was not a member of a rock band.
A personal message to those rock stars who think they're politicians
Hey, if you're going to sing, then sing, don't talk. You are paid to sing and/or play a musical instrument, not pontificate. We didn't hear The Big Bopper preach politics on stage before he sang Chantilly Lace, Mick Jagger didn't fire off a spitting tirade against President Richard Nixon when I twice saw him and the Stones play at the LA Forum; and we didn't have to suffer through Freddie and the Dreamers doing a Talleyrand routine when they performed I'm Telling You Now on the Ed Sullivan Show. You could have chosen to charm the bouncer into letting you through the front door into the rarified world of politics; instead you opted to enter by the back door, in the guise of a rock star, cherishing the hope that it would prove a launching pad on your rocket trip to power. You are, however, destined to be absolutely and utterly disappointed as you're never, ever going to be Tony Blair. Accept it, shut up, and get over it.

(No, I will not state my opinion as to the identity of the conspirators although I do have my own theory)

I ABSOLUTELY CONDEMN the Moscow Airport bombing and wish to extend my deepest sympathy to the families of the dead and injured.
I TOTALLY AND VIGOROUSLY CONDEMN the barbaric slaughter of those magnificent tigers, lions and bears in Ohio. As usual, animals have to pay the price of human ignorance. Couldn't the morons have used a tranquiliser gun instead of destroying the beautiful, splendid creatures?
I adamantly oppose the wanton demolition of all the priceless Victorian and Edwardian buildings in Belfast-one of my favourite cities of which I have so many pleasant memories. It was bad enough the planners wiped out Sailortown, Pound Loney and so much of Sandy Row, the Shankill and Falls. Do they have to obliterate the City Centre as well?!!!!
As regards Wikipedia
Deletionists
Hit-and-run editors who often make their appearance at a given article and can undo the work of months in a matter of minutes sans prior discussion or consensus
Censorship
The recent spate of files being deleted at Commons with no sign of slowing down. This bodes ill for the quality of Wikipedia articles. In the future, will landscape photographs have to be copyrighted to God?
Pending changes on BLPs
Rude, cocky, balls-out editors who adopt a "my way or the highway" approach to collaborative editing
Memorial
My dear cousin Jack Rorke, and his son Michael, taken in Vietnam, 1967
In loving memory of my cousin Jack Rorke, and his son Michael. May you both rest in peace and forget the ugly and undeserved cruelty that beastial mankind foisted upon you both in the decade when everybody should have been having fun.
My E-Mail and Twitter
Should anyone wish to contact me, they may do so here at my E-Mail address: jeannegriffin@hotmail.it I'll keep everything said to me in the strictest confidence, and while I do welcome frank comments, be they critical or otherwise, I shall only reply to those with Wikipedia user names, anonymous IP's or cranks will be ignored. I can also be reached at Twitter: @JeanneGriffin3
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

GoodDay, for bringing out the wild and zany side of my character which I thought had sunk back in 1912 along with the Titanic

Jack Forbes, another kind and humourous gentleman
Sarah777, for defending me against a trollish attack
High King, for saying that I looked like Chrissie Hynde in one of my photos (Jim Kerr is not my cuppa tea, however)

Daaviiid, another medievalist is bound to find favour with me

DayTrivia, for her many articles which she has created on historical personages

Keresaspa for all his help on Troubles-related articles
Last but certainly not least, I need to mention Titch Tucker who has gone away, but has not, nor will he ever be, forgotten. A million thank-yous for your many acts of kindness, and sharing with us at Wikipedia, your gentle soul
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!)
My maternal grandmother, Frances Carolyn Parsley (24 December 1884-25 September 1920). An interesting bit of trivia: She died in Commerce Street, Dallas; and is buried in the same cemetery as Lee Harvey OswaldMy paternal grandfather, Maurice Michael Griffin (15 April 1862- 1908) and his sister, Mary
Hi Jeanne, I see you have resurrected an image for use in a few UDR based articles and you have used differing text to describe them. I hope you do not mind, but I have amended the text on them to reflect the content better. There is no indication of the date of the photograph so the long hair must indicate the fashion at the time. The UDR soldiers were civilians most of the time and had to live among the community they served. If they had had strict military short hair cuts, they would have stood out more thus endangering their personal safety. Gavin Lisburn (talk) 22:47, 3 March 2011 (UTC)
I noticed on Asarlaí's talk page that you intend to make a page on the 5th of June 1976 Coleraine bar attack, I commend your efforts and please notify me when it is created.
Beannacht!
