EVERYTHING IS FABULOUS. plus, the sox beat the yankees two games out of three, which, if you recall, ain't bad according to your pal and mine, meatloaf. okay, gotta scoot. i have more places at which to be my fabulous self. hollaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!

am i only blogging surveys now? yes indeed, i am.
IF I WERE AN ANIMAL, i'd be a giraffe.
IF I WERE A MOVIE, i'd be the breakfast club.
IF I WERE A FOOD, i'd be a peanut butter and honey sandwich.
IF I WERE A TV CHARACTER, i'd be jim from the office.
IF I WERE A PIECE OF CLOTHING, i'd be flip flops.
IF I WERE A DAY OF THE WEEK, i'd be friday night.
IF I WERE A HOLIDAY, i'd be thanksgiving.
IF I WERE A PIECE OF FURNITURE, i'd be a porch swing.
IF I WERE A COLOR, i'd be tangerine.
IF I WERE A U.S. CITY, i'd be toronto.
i am a lame ass. even jenny is blogging more than me, and that girl is a blogging ghost. : ) hope you're all well. love love looooove.

eight eight oh eight

neat-o toledo. i love palindromes. i may be getting a job soon. bye bye summer, hello financial security. how are you doing?

obligatory post

jackie tagged me, and she's right, i haven't blogged in a while. i'm so obsessed with reading all of yours that i neglect my own. no one's perfect, right? : ) okay, six quirky things about me:
1) i'm terrified of birds. i wasn't always so scared, but ever since i had to scoop up a dead bird on my back porch when i was 16, i have not been the same. yeesh.
2) ever since i was a little kid, i have been a habitual finger-crosser. i cross my fingers all the time when i'm thinking of something i want to happen or something i need to remember. the beauty of it is, the next time i cross my fingers, i always remember whatever it was. who needs post its? : )
3) i don't sweat under my arms. i can't explain this. i sweat everywhere else that humans are supposed to. this may or may not be a disease. ???
4) nothing drives me crazier than when people scrape their teeth on forks. GOOD GOD. the sound makes the fillings in my teeth hurt.
5) i'm almost 25 and completely direction-less. i'm not sure if this qualifies as quirky, but there it is. : )
and finally, get ready to be grossed out,
6) i make myself puke if i've had to much to drink. i've never been hungover in my lifetime (knock on wood) and i think this is why: when i get to the point where the room is spinning and i can't fall asleep, i will induce vomiting. i know that's disgusting but i would much rather puke when i'm wasted than puke the next morning.
so there you have it.
i will tag...

later gators. : )

oh good lord

i'm crabby and impatient and very sensitive the last few days. i'm doing my best to keep it under control, but i'll admit that there have been a couple occasions where i have just been a flat-out bitch. sorry, roommates. sorry, sister. sorry, friends. and sorry if you haven't heard from me... i'm hiding out until i can get in a better mood. love love.

dear solitude

i love having rommates (most of the time), and i couldn't have hand-picked three better. but slade won't be home until tonight, and tatum tomorrow, and dusty some time after that, which leaves me allll alone for now. and, oh boy, am i loving it. roommates, come home soon, but not too soon, you know? and, by the way,
happy father's day to my very favoritest daddy of all time. xox from your melissa-pie.

testing, testing

so i'm blogging. it feels strange. i'm still reading all of yours, and even though i'm sure you've given up on mine, i will write today anyway.
i was laid off from my job almost two weeks ago, which shocked and embarrassed me. but, things have worked out for the best, as they typically do. i am certainly a "sunny-side-up" kind of girl, and here i am, up here, on the sunny side. i will not talk about my potential next job that i am INSANELY interested in for fear of jinxing it. but i will say that i'm hoping to report very good news on that front shortly.
my personal life is, as always, up in the air. i'm falling in love every day lately. at kroger, or the post office, or at a stoplight, or in my head. and even though absolutely none of these love connections will come to fruition, it feels good anyway. it's summertime and i am feeling lovey-dovey enough to crush on strangers, but it's much too hot for cuddling so it's best that they are only daydreams.
i'll probably start blogging again. i have missed it, and i miss anyone reading it. call me soon, or come see me. hell, maybe i'll come see you.
holla holla.
