About Me


My name is Melissa Elizabeth. Born in Bangkok, Thailand (on September 6th, 1976) and adopted by an Irish Catholic family from Queens, NY at just 5 months old.My favorite things are music of all genres, Manhattan and Brooklyn, tarot cards, red wine, cooking and art in all mediums. My all time favorite bands are Type-O negative, Waking, and Cypress Hill and well there are more but just too many to name. My favorite movies are the Shining and Clockwork orange, both by Stanley Kubrack. My favorite T.V. shows are Gilmore girls (Maya & I LOVE the Gilmore girls...lol...she's my RORY. I told her if she ever has a baby sister I will name her Loralei so we can call her Rory), Sex and the city, Medium, Lost, Heroes, Seinfeld, Law and Order SVU & CI. My all time Favorite place to party and just be is a village club called Cafe Wha? in my old neighborhood.Before living in Northern Cali, I lived in the West Village of Manhattan, NY on Thompson between W3d & Bleeker (as well as Grammercy & East Harlem). I have taught in daycare centers and pre-schools since 19 years of age, but had started childcare her career at an age even earlier then that. I now am priviledge to work from home (childcare) and care for my own Princess as well.

My Interests

My interests well...lol...it depends on my mood...I go through short phases, and get bored easily...lol.

I'd like to meet:

COOL ASS PEOPLE...THE MISFITS & THE TRULY FABULOUS!!! as well as FRIENDS, Other ROCKING alternative mommies like myself, spiritual & clairvoyant individuals like myself, as well as Children's fashion fanatics.

Music:



Movies:


Television:

MAYA'S CURRENT FAVES ARE BLUES CLUE'S or as she calls it TICO, JOE, & BLUE!!! (yes she has re-named Steve Burns TICO...lol...and she loves her TICO!) SHE HAS ALSO BECOME OBSESSED W/ BOB THE BUILDER...so I guess you can say Maya's Men are BOB & TICO...lol.

Books:

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE to read!!! Often I will start a book in the morning & get so sucked in I will read it in sporatic breaks through out the day until I force myself to bed (because it's so damn good...lol). I read on average a book every 12-24-48 hours depending on the content & length. I usually force myself to finish a book, even if I'm bored by it, but not always. My guilty pleasures are contemporary romances (not the Fabio crap) that take place in Manhattan &; whose characters are generally around the same age as me. My favorite authors currently are: Wendy Markham, Erin McCarthy, Liz Ireland, Valerie Frankel, James Frey, and Frank McCourt (of course I had to read his trilogy of memoirs, we share the same last name). Yes memoirs are another guilty pleasure of mine.

Heroes:

My best friend Nicci, & my daughter (essentially she saved my life- long story).
