...Don't underestimate the staggering drawing power of the Garden State.

About Me

Born and raised in NJ, I wouldn't want to live anywhere else. Except maybe DC. I prefer the Simpsons to Family Guy, Animaniacs to Tiny Toons and Spiderman to Superman. I'd rather be comfortable in clunky black shoes than stylish in red mock-crock heels, although I have developed an affinity for stilettos as of late. My name is said to mean 'honeybee' in Greek. Actually, Melissa was a nymph who gathered the honey to feed baby Zeus and the literal translation is, 'honey gatherer' (take that, Joan Rivers!). I am too short for 'regular' length jeans, and too tall for 'short' (Someone out there ought to tell these clothing manufacturers that your average American woman stands at a whopping 5'4"). I drive a Civic, her name is Piper. I hit a lot of curbs with her, and I couldn't park straight to save my life. I never carry an umbrella. I usually don't wear makeup. I don't answer to anyone but myself. I love to laugh, and I laugh a LOT, but need to smile more often. I rent, I go to school, I sit in traffic. I don't make anywhere near enough money to support my avid book and DVD-buying habit, but I don't live outside my means. I will always have gum, cigarettes and just enough cash to cover some boneless buffalo wings from Chili's.

My Interests

Movies, music, theatre, TV, books... all your normal, healthy and enriching activites.

I'd like to meet:

George Bush - So I can kick him in the balls and tell him to stop sending troops to Iraq to die;The Ben Stiller/Vince Vaugn/Adam Sandler/Will Ferrel crowd of wannabe actors - So I can tell them to stop making movies (although, I admit, I giggled during Dodgeball); and that Simon person from American Idol - He's created a monster of a reality show, and he must die a slow, painful death at my hands. I have no strong feelings against anyone else at the moment, feel free to reach out!..

Music:

My iPod does NOT play the following: Nirvana, Jason Mraz, Ryan Adams, Lonestar, Beyonce, The Fray, Panic at the Disco or James Blunt. I'm starting to resent Hinder and Doughtry as well. I'll listen to most anything else.

Movies:

They're never as good as the book, a fact I'm discovering in my wise, old age. A few honorable mentions include: The Shawshank Redemption, The Godfather, A Time to Kill, Mystic River, and The DaVinci Code. I adore witty, clever comedies and stupid, gross-out horror flicks. I'm not so much into chick flicks, and any Kevin Smith film is a good choice. Except Jersey Girl, which blew. The Spiderman movies rock and I am in no way a Lord of the Rings fan.

Television:

I try not to miss House, Prison Break, and Law and Order: SVU. I'm really getting into Project Runway and Ghost Hunters, too. I wish they'd bring back Action, Titus, and the X-Files (David Duchovny, why don't you love me?)

Books:

Too many to count. Recent favorites: The DaVinci Code, Angels and Demons, any Preston/Child novel, The Innocent Man, and The Interpretation of Murder.

Heroes:

Mom and Dad, Suze Orman (listen up, girlfriend!), the Happy Bunny.

Your Master’s Degree Doesn’t Mean Shit, Either

So yesterday I am sitting in class, waiting for the professor to show up.  I got there a few minutes early to grab a good seat, away from the annoying people and close enough to the front so my d...

Life in the Great Garden State

Life in the great Garden State is, well, not so great.  I'm not much for politics, as those of you who know me are aware of.  However, as of late, it has become impossible to ignore the bull...

Smoke em If You Got em - Addendum

All right, I know I’ve gone on and on ad nauseum regarding smoking, smokers and petty, insignificant laws enacted by petty, insignificant local law-makers, but I feel the need for continued bitc...

Smoke 'em If You Got 'em...

Leave the smokers alone, already!  Christ, not a fucking day goes by that I don’t hear about a potential new "law" being passed regarding smoking.  Can’t smoke in a bar, can&rsqu...
