Maybe you'll get lucky tonight. Oh, I always do. Well, That's a shame he makes you sleep in the base

About Me

i am an easy-to-please person. i like to drink bud light and captain and diet. i would love to work for a small record label, music festival or some form of music management company when i grow up. if that sucks, then i want to go to washington and be a political lobbyist where i can hopefully use my great debating skills to make a difference. i love going to see local bands where you know everyone in the crowd and know all the words to every song. it has been brought to my attention that i have a habit for being fond of drummers. i love organizing things. my least favorite season is winter and least favorite subject is math. i like to be barefoot as much as possible. i hate tomatoes, mayonaise and ranch dressing. i love pickles, the color purple and tropical punch kool-aid. i love to wear flip flops in the winter. i have a hard head and am very indecisive. i am usually late most of the time. i am named after the allman brothers song "sweet melissa". i love my tattoos and want more. there's nothing else better than being anywhere you want to with your best friends. i like to sleep but never get enough. i love football season in the south for the all the tailgating and drunkeness. don't trust me with directions because i tend to get lost. i have issues driving in reverse but am working on that. i love meeting new people and sharing life stories. i love my friends. without, i would probably be either dead or financially secure living in the suburbs with my married ex-boyfriend. i miss people sometimes and hate to be alone. i rarely bathe unless there is something important to go to. other than that, i am pretty much a bad ass.

My Interests

rock and roll, half-assed rock music, sweatty boys playing rock music, Sex and the City, taking pictures, politics, spending time with my friends and family, the beach, college football (roll tide)

I'd like to meet:

I would love to meet Nancy Grace because she knows how to tell it like it is. I would love to meet Candace Bushnell, author of Sex and the City. She, under some divine intervention, has the ability to produce answers to all problems faced by single women everywhere. I would love to meet Kyle Orton, former QB for Purdue. I have met Citizen Cope twice, but both times under really "questionable" cirmcumstances, so I would love to meet him "for real"... I loathe for Giovanni Ribisi and Michael Vartan. Anderson Cooper kinda does it for me too. Jeremy Piven makes me giggle. I have a secret crush David Blaine. I think Eddie Izzard would be fun to chat with over a stiff drink. Oh and one more, Jason Schwartzmann
