Hi, I'm Jackie. Welcome to my little slice of heaven.

It has finally happened! I finally graduated! I am now a certified librarian... now I just need a job...

But anyways... Well, as you can probably tell by my actually belonging to this site, writing and reading are hobbies of mine, as well as a mish-mash of other random things. But that's me, I tend to be eclectic. Since you're here, take a look around and drop me a line if there's anything you like.

Thanks for stopping by!

People Who Tick Me Off:

People who murder the English Language. There is spell check for a reason people! I know I'm not perfect but, damn. And please, if I try to read your story and end up with a headache... that's a bad thing! Grammar! Whatever happened to elementary school English class?

People who complain because they don't like a paring. Grow up damn it! It's not worth the time.
