I am here for Friends

About Me

I'm a bookworm, writer, and Melicious , a member of the Texas Rollergirls' Flat Track Derby team, the Hotrod Honeys ... f*ck, yeah.

Visit the official web site for my book, Rollergirl: Totally True Tales From the Track .

And visit the myspace page for my book -- Rollergirl: Totally True Tales from the Track -- and make me your friend. I'll keep you up-to-date on what's happening with the book, my tour, and other fun stuff.

In addition to writing and rolling, I like Social Distortion, leopard print, things that are pink, gas station coffee, Las Vegas, black eyeliner, football and dancing movies, Jane Eyre, Vince Vaughan and Hugh Laurie, mystery novels, Firefly, Star Trek TNG, Law & Order (all flavors), Midsomer Murders, and taking naps while watching "Murder She Wrote."

I also LOVE to play music! I play keyboards for St. Joe's Choir -- the band started by my man, the indescribably awesome D the B. I also play and sing with Peter Elliott & the Sellouts -- featuring Peter's so-catchy-they-hurt songs -- and I'm the hostess for Karaoke Apocalypse with The DeadMotleySexMaidens , a live karaoke band that plays the best metal, punk, and new wave classics.

Disclaimer: I know having 1000+ friends makes me look like a myspace asshole, but cut me some slack... I love Rollergirls and just can't say no to their requests.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

People who know who they are & what they want.

Time travel

When I'm a gazillionaire, I will commission a time machine so I can travel back to the '50s/'60s to go on sign tours (http://www.flickr.com/photos/54177448@N00/sets/721576020783 06337/) -- and to eat a...
