Bio:

I feel compelled to update my bio, so, here we go. :P

My name is Jasmine, but most people (PFers, I should say) call me either Lost or Jet. I absolutely love Psych. In addition to that I watch a variety of TV shows including (BUT NOT LIMITED TO): Supernatural, NCIS, NCIS: LA, CSI, CSI: NY, Bones, Castle, Leverage, Stargate (all three of them), Sherlock, Merlin, Doctor Who, Power Rangers, Young Justice, House of Anubis, Unnatural History, and... lots of other stuff that I can't remember. :P I watch a lot of TV, obviously.

I'm kind of a grammar freak, so in my stories I normally don't have many typos. However, since my keyboard is being a frickin' JERKFACE, and I'm still currently a teenager, I'm nowhere near perfect. In which case, if anyone is willing to be my permanant Beta Reader, I would be eternally grateful.

Let's see... I'm a Leo. You know, that sort of person who's both attention-hungry and loyal and leaderlike at the same time? We like to shine. :P Yeah, that's me. I have a big ego, obviously, but you know what they say: Egos are like balloons. The bigger they get, the easier they are to pop.

Okay, so I'm half African-American, and one-fourth Filipino. Which means that instead of my skin just being dark, I'm more... caramel. I pride myself in saying that my eyes are so dark you couldn't see my pupils unless our noses were touching, and they're almond-shaped. Another part of my Asian heritage. Um... my hair is naturally curly (really, really curly), but right now, and always, I have it straightened so it's easier to take care of. Because my hair is so thick, people think it's dark brown (but if anyone asks, the technical color name is Sandy Red, which can be proven if the sun hits it right).

I have two little sisters and two little brothers. My parents are divorced. I love people's eyes-- they're fascinating to me. When I grow up I'm going to be a popstar. You watch for me! Um... yeah.

I'm, like, the world's biggest procrasinator, so I apologize if it takes YEARS for me to update. However I made a pact to finsih what I start and I intend to keep that pact, so my stories WILL get finished. :P

So! About my MSN thing... Some people have come up to me and said, "Why is your name Cammie?" And I go, "Oh, funny story!" Cammie is a name of one of my main characters in an original story I've never finished. My mom didn't want my full name and stuff on the internet where anyone could see it, so she had me make up an identity. Who better than somebody I wrote about? But don't worry; it's still me. =] 

I love PF with a fiery burning passion. xD I have a best friend: sisangel, AKA Halo. And everybody else at the community is part of my huuuge extended family (so those of you stalkers who want to be my friend, I can mostly be found in the community section. :P ). It's a great place. Me love it.

...

I think I need to stop rambling now. For those of you who stuck around to read this entire thing, applause to you! Although, if I can give you some advice, I'd bet that my stories are a lot more interesting than my bio. ;)

Summary:

It's the week of Thanksgiving, and Shawn thought all he had to worry about was the FBI interfering with his work, figuring out a way to convince Lassie he was not behind the glitter horse, and, last but not least, how to survive Thanksgiving with his dad.

Boy, was he ever wrong.

COWBOYS! *ded* Sorry. I just thought... you know, Gus being all, matter of fact... not that this has anything to do with the fic...  I should probably say something about that too... hmm... It was very entertaining? Full of whump? And angst? Oh, yeah, I loved that part. Um... I'll shut up now.

*sobs* AWWWWWWWWW!!!! Thanks, Spence! I feel loved... ;)

AWESOME frickin' chapter, girl! I love that you're updating. Funny thing was I just got around to reading it and I was all, "Aw, she hasn't updated in a while..."

And then you not only update but give a shoutout to me? And then you put me on your favorite author's list?

Dude, I'm crying right now. Seriously.



Author's Response:

AWW! *huggles* Glad you liked it! If it wasn't for your fic I might not have updated so I thank you  =D....and I'm going to try and update more frequently.

And you are one of my favorite authors  =]

That'd be so awesome, Lost! ( and I was so excited I spelled everything in that line wrong the first time around lol) 

So so so awesome!

This fic is so underloved.

Well, I love it! ^.^ You've done an awesome job!

Now send me next chappie. *glare*



Author's Response:

I feel it is underloved, too. But I may be biased.

And I'm working on it, I swear. I'm actually writing it right this moment (besides the fact that I'm typing to you  =P )

And thanks so much for the encouragement and awesome Beta-ship.

Lol, I wouldn't say that. You're doing just fine on your own, Spence, don't you ever forget that!

*huggles* AWESOME chaper, by the way. =]

Summary:

It was just Shawn’s luck that Eliot was spotted by the one guy on the Santa Barbara PD who frequently checked the International Most Wanted List.

 

Crossover with Leverage but mostly a Psychfic.

Sequel? Jes? YOU MUST! THIS IS AWESOME!

Summary:

In 1987, two robbers were responsible for the shootings of three people in a bank robbery spree that lasted for months.  Henry Spencer fatally shot one of those robbers during their final heist.  The other robber, and brother of the deceased, was sentenced to forty-five years in prison with the possibility of parole in twenty-two.

The robber has just been paroled and he has thought about only two people in the last twenty-two years: his brother and the police officer who killed him.  Let the games begin.

Can I say that while this ENTIRE story was made of kick-ass awesomeness, I absolutely ADORED chapter fourteen? Coz I did.

For some reason I could LITERALLY feel everything Shawn was feeling. The sheer, absolute terror-- I knew you weren't going to kill either of them, coz you're too awesome for that, but it was still terrifying. Tom and Jerry were simply made of epic, and I might have to steal them sometime (with copywrites to you, of course ;)). I loved that even after Logan was dead there was still a great deal of panic in the story that had me panicking as it was.

I have to say, though, Shawn is stronger than I was. If I were in that situation, I would've burst into tears a long time ago. :P

Anyways, good job, as usual. I can see why people love this story. I love this story, and I'll probably be revisiting it for good memories. :)



Author's Response:

Hee hee - I love your first sentence.  Oh, thank you, thank you for specifically mentioning ch. 14 - your comments are so amazing!!!!  Haha - right there with you on bursting into tears...  :)  What a compliment that you want to "steal" Tom and Jerry - when/if "sometime" arrives, I respectfully ask you PM me with your thoughts/ideas - I've been drafting a story with them in it so I wouldn't want overlap...  Again, what a huge compliment - thank you!

Your last sentence leaves me feeling all warm and fuzzy. *smile*

Thank you for such a wonderful review, Lost! -JR
