I know what you’re thinking. I CAN read your mind, you know. I have powers. (Er, let’s just pretend, now shall we?) You’re thinking that I am some weirdo trying to start a weirdo magazine. And if you ARE thinking that, then I commend you... ‘Cause guess what... YOU’RE RIGHT!

My name is Darcy Camille Book (yes, that’s right), and I’m just here to provide YOU with a fabtastic (or fantabulous, whichever way you look at it) mag that helps you embrace your natural teen power (er, NERD power... cough cough...) and hopefully helps you see the world in a slightly different way. Like, instead of looking at that cloud and thinking “Gee, that sure looks like a white cloud,” you’ll think instead, “Gee, that sure looks like an elephant tap-dancing on an umbrella!” Or, you know, something like that.

SO-o-o-o-o... What I really want to tell you in this magazine is to live your life. You might think that is kind of redundant, and, oh, I dunno, UNAVOIDABLE! Considering that you kind of have to live your life to have a life at all. Because if you don’t live, you die, and then you don’t have a life, because... Um, you get the gist. But the truth is, you need to find a purpose, or a passion, or a hobby, or something – this is so not another chick mag filled with makeup and celebrity gossip. This, my friends, is a mag for actually thinking. You know, using that gray squishy thing in your head – your noggin! That’s it! This mag is about speaking out and learning un-school-related things and accepting your teendom. (That is MY word, okay, guys? No stealing “teendom!”)

And, okay, this mag is also about you being in it. Be a part of it!
