About Me



My Name is Melissa Marie

My Interests



I LOVE TO READ!

Seriously don't know how much more I can stress that. I always have a book in my tote bag (someday it will be a Chanel bag, but until my first novel sells or I hook up with a hot sugar daddy, it will have to wait) and I read whenever I get the chance. My mind goes a million miles a minute. It's easy for me to connect the dots. My IQ is over 130 and less than 145-if that means anything to anyone. I play a MEAN game of scrabble.
The match that had the most potential to be interesting was strip scrabble. The rule: if you played a three letter word and it scored less than 30 points, you had to remove an article of clothing. Considering that everyone at the table was wearing at least eight articles of clothing a piece--that and none of us wanted to see the other naked--the game was pretty BORING.
Someday, I hope to have a player of equal skill level, but until then, I will hold back--I mean, I would never do that and to all of you who I have let win--I mean who have beat me--it was real.

I'd like to meet:

I'm interested in meeting old and new friends from school, work, etc and catching up.

I'm also interested in meeting others who share my love for writing, laughing and Jesus.

I love to read, so I'd like to make friends with folks who have hilarious, insightful and real blogs.

Music:

I like, okay I LOVE Michael Buble. I like Lionel Richie, Sarah Kelly, David Crowder Band, Pat Benetar, Rita Springer, Phil Wickham, Rob Thomas, HEART, Jewel, Joni Mitchell, Funk and yes, disco-shut your mouth, I'm a fantastic dancer.

Movies:

JUNO!!!! (It was fantastic----go. see. it.)
Older favorites: Chronicles of Riddick, Serenity, Connie & Carla, The Ringer, Office Space, An American Haunting, COrky Romano, Mystery Men, Oceans, Transporter, Italian Job, Bride & Prejudice

Television:

Prison Break, Heroes, Ugly Betty, Bones, Firefly, La Femme Nikita, Psych, Chuck, Simpsons, Family Guy

Books:



WHERE DO I START!?!?!?
One for the Money by Janet Evanovich (I love the whole Plum series).
The Last books I read (for school) were: Paradise Lost (Milton) Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse (Stephenie Meyer), Skellig (David Almond), The Golden Compass (Phillip Pullman), The Alchemyst (Michael Scott), The Book Thief (Marcus Zuzak), The Lightning Thief (Rick Riordan), The Haunting of Alaizabel Clay (Chris Wooding), Harry Potter 4, 5, 6, 7 (J.K. Rowling)

I devour novels and can read about five or six paperbacks in a day if I do nothing else. Generally, I read one a night in addition to my schoolwork. Yeah, I read fast. It's a family thing, to love to read and to love to read a lot.

Heroes:

Jesus Christ:
my saviour

My Parents:
they are great examples of true christians and encourage and support me in my dreams

My Sister and Brother-in-law:
Regardless of what is going on in their lives, they always choose to do what is right and will help anyone they can. Dreams

Hold fast to dreams
For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird
That cannot fly.
Hold fast to dreams
For when dreams go
Life is a barren field
Frozen with snow.

Langston Hughes

I get to dogsit this weekend

The last time I took care of Sadie, she was still a pup. Now a year and a half old, she's a bit bigger and I'm sure a tennis ball wouldn't outsize her as much. Yeah, she's the ultimate girlie dog, but...
