The Girl: Hey, I'm Jaded Panic. I've gone through several name changes on here (mostly in the first week), but I settled on one that I like. I love to write, and read, and share my ranting thoughts with the world. I am 17 years old. I'm a senior at my high school, and I take journalism, creative writing, drawing, and French classes. I'm that girl in French club, on the lit mag staff, and in the back of your classrooms listening to her iPod and singing under her breath.

The Need: I love constructive criticism. As good as it makes me feel to have someone say "You did good on this", I'd love to hear someone say, "That was an okay idea, but you could've done it better like this..." Advice is the best kind of review you could give me, but I'll take what I can get. ;)

The Loves: My favorite authors are John Green, Markus Zusak, Ellen Hopkins, JK Rowling, James Patterson, and Jodi Picoult. My current obsessions are Glee, Mortal Instruments, and Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I love to read well thought out, thought-provoking stories, but I also love more upbeat stuff. I'm what you would call a "nerd" because I'll read any book thrown in my hands, and I can count on one hand the amount of books that I've read that I didn't like. (...A book series only counts as one finger.)

The Story: My current story is The Michael Mackin Project. It was my NaNoWriMo novel for 2008, and I'm currently making it spiffy with the help of my lovely friend-slash-beta Sandra.

The Shameless Self-Promotion: Make sure to check out SLOAN MILL, the horror story Edge Poynte and I are writing. You can find it at the account called BlacknEvans. Also, if you have livejournal, check out the comm shesthesmoke, which is the joint writing journal of my friend Sandra and I. There's fiction, fan fiction, and poetry, and let me tell you - Sandra's poetry is amazing. The link to She's The Smoke is my homepage link! Check it out, and join/watch the comm.

The Office Quote: "When I saw Dwight, I realized how stupid and petty all those pranks I pulled on him were. And then he spoke." -Jim
