About Me

I'm a dork. I love animals, especially horses and dogs. I'm currently attending a school I used to tell myself I would never attend. I'm addicted to super pretzels. I love being alive, even when it sucks. I hate tomatoes and seafood. I once drank gasoline as a small child. I got rid of my two totally awesome pickup trucks for stupid reasons and now I drive my grandma's chevy corsica. My dogs have myspace pages. I'm dating the world's greatest boyfriend. I have amazing friends whom I love dearly. Splenda makes me sick. I love to laugh. I hate George Bush--both of them. I have a horrible problem with organization. I love clearance sales. I'm right handed. My cat could kick your cat's ass. I believe in fate. I like to cry at sappy chick flicks. My favorite color is royal blue. I used to hate the color orange, but it's growing on me. I giggle a lot when I'm tired. I spend way too much money on coffee. I hate conceited people. I get terribly annoyed by stupid drivers. I used to want to be an architect. I used to want to be a long-haul trucker. I used to want to be an author. I wish I had more time to do things like keep a journal. When I was 6 or 7 I had to wear an eye patch. I'm afraid of burning to death and drowning. I love carnival rides. I love froot loops. I dread grocery shopping. I have three tattoos and intend on getting more once I win the lottery. I dislike living in an apartment. I love lavender. Some of my favorite smells are hay, papaya and fresh asphalt. I love the sound of high heels on tile floor. I don't believe in regrets, although sometimes it makes me sad that certain things weren't able to turn out differently. I crochet but I have no idea how to knit. I love tire swings.
TELL ME ABOUT YOURSELF - The Survey
Name: Melinda
Birthday: 11/30/1981
Birthplace: Evergreen Hospital, Kirkland wa
Current Location: Thousand Oaks
Eye Color: shit brown
Hair Color: shit brown
Height: 5' 4 3/4" (the 3/4 is very important!)
Right Handed or Left Handed: Right. And I've learned from my sister not to sit on the inside of a booth next to a left-handed person in a restaurant
Your Heritage: Welsh, dutch, french, etc., etc., etc.
The Shoes You Wore Today: The ones I bought from target for ten bucks and are dedicated strictly to work
Your Weakness: chocolate chip cookies; jacked up pickups; big stocky quarter horses
Your Fears: Burning to death; drowning
Your Perfect Pizza: As long as it doesn't have anchovies or sausage I'm good
Goal You Would Like To Achieve This Year: I don't make goals. That way there's no chance that I'm setting myself up for disappointment, and when I do achieve something I just assume it's because I'm totally awesome and it would've worked out that way anyway just because of the fact that I'm totally awesome...
Your Most Overused Phrase On an instant messenger: instant messenger is not my friend. And that's not an overused phrase, it's a fact
Thoughts First Waking Up:
Your Best Physical Feature: Isis says I have the perfect nose, but I don't know about that one
Your Bedtime: Whenever the dogs decide they're done tearing around the house
Your Most Missed Memory: Showing horses at the fair as a kid. Nine straight 18 hour days full of noise, dust, manure, and carnival rides--what more could a girl ask for?
Pepsi or Coke: I always loved when we used to do the "let's see how fast this tooth rots if we put it in a glass of cola and let it sit for a few days" experiment in elementary school...
MacDonalds or Burger King: Neither, unless it's for otis spunkmeyer chocolate chip cookies. In that case, definitely mcdonald's.
Single or Group Dates: Depends on what the objective of the evening is. If you think you're gonna need back-up, group dates are definitely the way to go
Lipton Ice Tea or Nestea: Green tea for me, thanks
Chocolate or Vanilla: preferably together, in one of those "twist" ice cream cones where they mix both the soft serves together in a fun swirly design
Cappuccino or Coffee: Isn't cappuccino coffee? Am I missing something?
Do you Smoke: Nope, except for the occasional clove
Do you Swear: never ever
Do you Sing: Unfortunately I can't help myself. If there's a song on the radio and I know the words--even if I can't stand it--it just comes out of me
Do you Shower Daily: If I didn't, you'd be able to tell. After a day without one, my hair tends to look like medusa's
Have you Been in Love: Several times. Then there were the times where I thought I was but it ended up that I was actually fooling myself. Those are the worst. They usually end up in some horrible way, like with a bankruptcy or something.
Do you want to go to College: Been there. Didn't stay long. Maybe I'll go back someday
Do you want to get Married: You know, I honestly never understood the point of marriage. Seriously. But I do want to end up getting married someday anyway, because you're just supposed to, right??
Do you belive in yourself: Seriously now, what kind of question is that? Why would someone ask that in a survey? You think that I would tell the truth if I didn't? And if I did say I believe in myself, it might sound like I'm conceited, and nobody wants to be around conceited people. And whoever created this survey needs to lern how to spel
Do you get Motion Sickness: No, with the soul exception of the pabst blue ribbon/onion ring/tire swing incident. That was not good times. Even if I'm flat broke and can't afford anything else, i will never drink pbr again
Do you think you are Attractive: At times, yes. Not always
Are you a Health Freak: I'd love to say yes, but I'd be lying
Do you get along with your Parents: Yes, much more so now that I don't live in the same house
Do you like Thunderstorms: omg yes

In the past month have you Drank Alcohol: Hmmmm....
In the past month have you Smoked: Nope
In the past month have you been on Drugs: Legal or illegal? In all honesty, I have never done any sort of illegal drug. Am I a goodie twoshoes or what?
In the past month have you gone on a Date: Dates are way over rated, but I think I'm past due.
In the past month have you gone to a Mall: The mall is not my friend
In the past month have you eaten a box of Oreos: Do oreos even come in a box?
In the past month have you eaten Sushi: Actually I have never even tried it. I am a big wuss when it comes to anything relating to dead fish in the form of a meal
In the past month have you been on Stage: Not technically
In the past month have you been Dumped: From a wheelbarrow, yes
In the past month have you gone Skinny Dipping: In washington and in march? You've gotta be kidding me
In the past month have you Stolen Anything: Not on purpose
Ever been Drunk: Never ever....
Ever been called a Tease: It's embarassing, but yes. Allison once told me that I can't even open my mouth around a guy without flirting. This is no longer true, but back in the day I couldn't deny it
Ever been Beaten up: No. i always do the beating.
Ever Shoplifted: When I was really little I took this little fuzzy plastic teddy bear thing from safeway. If I remember right, I think my mom made me take it back
How do you want to Die: When I'm 96, in my sleep, with my dog
What do you want to be when you Grow Up: Exactly what age does one have to be before they are done having to answer this question? Every time I hear this I think, "God, does that mean that what I'm doing now is completely insignificant? Am I that big of a failure that people still assume that the job I'm in now must be some sort of interim position?" If I'm 24 now, how much longer do I have to wait until I'm officially Grown Up????
What country would you most like to Visit: There's no way I can narrow it down to just one
In a Boy/Girl..
Favourite Eye Color: Blue
Favourite Hair Color: Anything but red
Short or Long Hair: Anything from short to somewhere in the middle. I'm not really attracted to men who have prettier hair than I do
Height: taller than me
Weight: preferably not obese, but it doesn't really matter
Best Clothing Style: as long as you're not a wannabe thug, you're good in my book. I've dated the epitome of the wannabe thug before, and it was not good. I don't know what evil forces ever even drew us together, but boy am I glad that I'm with who I am now instead!
Number of Drugs I have taken: Many legal ones
Number of CDs I own: I've never counted. And some of them are missing. I have no idea where they went, but I think they inadvertantly got traded in with the truck when I sold it.
