I'm young, gorgeous, and destined for an amazing future. I'm sort of obsessed with vintage things. And baking. I'll make a perfect housewife someday. It's kind of cute. I love Japan, anime, manga and I'm obsessed with pink things. I'm nerdy, and I'm not ashamed. I really REALLY like reading blogs. Mostly nail, and makeup blogs, but it's horrible. It's why I'm up @ 4AM. I can dance my ass off. Seriously, I love pretending like I'm raving, even though I've never actually been to a rave. I'm extremely intelligent, talk to me about robots, The Matrix, or the universe and prepare to hear my bizarre thoughts. I LOOOOVE, singing, and drawing and reading (which is apparently a dying art, haha) in my spare time. I'm a video game whore. It happens. Challenge me at DDR or Super Smash Bros. and you will lose. I'm a writer, and I write whatever my fingers tell me to. ;)

My love of writing started when I was young and didn't come out again until I went back to college at the age of 24, now I can't stop. I am not your typical girl. I love talking about sports, especially football. I am looking forward to the upcoming Thor and The Avengers movie. I saw Iron Man twice in the theaters. I am a fan of the Transformers movie and not because of the storyline but because I love watching robots fight and explode. Characters like Hannibal Lecter and Dexter Morgan excite me. Jerry Maguire is one of my favorite movies and inspired my degree. I love the shows, The Big Bang Theory, Two and a Half Men, CSI: Miami, Burn Notice White Collar, Leverage and Numbers. Seeing a Dodge Challenger on the road turns me on. (It is also my dream car.) Going to Comic-con next year is a goal of mine. I am also a girlie girl that loves dressing up and the color pink. I went to the midnight showings of both Sex and the City movies. I can relate to the ladies of Sex and the City and Bridget Jones. The girly side of me loves the shows: Sex and the City, The O.C., Friends, Drop Dead Diva, Desperate Housewives and Grey's Anatomy. Another goal of mine is to get a pair of Christian Louboutins. I am currently working on my first novel that is loosely based on my dating experiences in Los Angeles since my divorce. If you want to find some of my non-fiction writing check out, www.mensweekly.net, www.gather.com and my blog, ljmaggie.wordpress.com. I'm just a plus size Wisconsin girl with a geeky side, writing, living and dating in Los Angeles.

John Barnett is a freelance writer, avid gamer, perpetual realist, apathetic introvert, textbook cynic, and an analytical intellectual. What more is there to say? Well, maybe a little more. John has a childish affinity for giant monsters and robots. He easily gets lost due to his terrible sense of direction. This can likely be attributed to his mind typically concentrating on a wide range of topics that leave him little focus for direction. Friends say he does a poor job of comforting them in times of need due to his realist nature. John unapologetically agrees. John is known as "The Traitor" among his gaming group because of his tendency to set them on fire, blow them up, use them as meat shields, abandon them, or otherwise outright betray them when the game allows it. Were he not so polite and talented a player, they might not keep joining him. He's been gaming since he was five and writing professionally since he was twelve. He graduated from MCHS where he focused on refining his writing. He's amassed a few hundred video games spanning over a dozen consoles. You may know him by his penname 'Kaiju' or the gaming alternative- "Traitorous Kaiju." You can find John Barnett in Tennessee- good luck with that though. That would be like an extreme version of "Where's Waldo?".
