A Quiet, Contemplative Maniac

About Me

Layout made by LOVELY GiGi at CreateBlog.com .Hi! I'm Missa. Or Melissa. Or "that weird chick who keeps staring at me", as some like to call me. I'm generally a friendly person and like to talk with pretty much anyone about pretty much anything. I'm not easily offended (by anything other than odors, of course) and conversation is one of my favorite thins. It really is a lost art. I love all kinds of music, all kinds of movies and just...well, you name it and I'll probalby know some kind of weird, obscure thing about it. So write me! Let's chat.

My Interests

Oh, let's see. Lots of things. Writing, mostly. That's what I'd really like to do, you know, write. I'm actually doing that now, aren't I? But it's not nearly so fulfilling as the daring adventures of heroes and the horrible defeat of villains (sometimes the other way around). Yes, I'm a fiction writer. Ta da. Anyway, I also enjoy reading, mostly humor stuff but I'm also (prepare yourself) a William Faulkner fan. "The Sound and the Fury" is one of my all time favorite books. Very awesome stuff, there. Lesse...I'm also interested in Japanese Animation (anime, to those of you in the know) and am pretty much into every fandom in that category (including Manga). I would also like to state for the record that music is my life and I have an unhealthy obsession with Harry Potter.

I'd like to meet:

...people? I don't know. I'm not very picky.Hell, I'll even meet some monkeys if they're brave enough to create a profile on this thing. In fact, I would definitely love to meet the monkey who posts in Myspace. So yes, I would like to meet a monkey, please.

Music:

David Bowie is my sparkly rock god! I've got very eclectic tastes and can listen to everything from Elton John to Disturbed. The only thing I really don't care much for is Rap, but I think that might be an aquired taste (and a taste I have not yet endeavored to aquire).

Movies:

Again, pretty much anything. I've got a VERY eclectic taste in movies and so long as it isn't a horibly obvious chick flic or something about 8 mile, then I'll probably watch it and nine times out of ten enjoy it. I think if I had to choose my favorite movie it would have to be "Seven." Kevin Spacey rocks my psycho socks.

Television:

I dunno...I don't watch a lot of TV, but when I do it's usually "Trading Spaces." Yes I realize this puts me on par with someone's 30 year old mother, but that show is addictive! It's like crack! Really bright sparkly pretty crack!

Books:

"The Sound and the Fury" by William Faulkner, "Harry Potter and the Everything" by J.K. Rowling., "Hitchikers Guide to the Universe 1, 2, 3, and 4" by Douglas Adams, "The Last Rune Saga" by Mark Anthony (my own personal hero), "Lord of the Rings" by J.R.R. Tolkien (what writer doesn't love Tolkien? Come on.) And many, many other books that I have read throughout my lifetime.

Heroes:

Lesse...I have a lot of them, but for the sake of saving space I'll paraprase. My dad, because he is never afraid to say what he means; Bruce Smith because he always means what he says; Larry Welshon because he has a sense of humor and a sense of morality; My Mom because she has beauty, strength, intelligence and humor and yet doesn't need a biography written about her; Martha Sharma because she's got it and she flaunts it, baby! Janet Ollive because she's a mom, a teacher and a person all at the same time and still manages to be a hero.

Watching movies

I just finished watching Mystic River, which I had to force myself to put in the DVD player owing to my thourough hatred of Sean Penn. Why do I hate him you might ask? I have no idea. He just annoys m...

If I die I'm taking my stuff with me

So tomorrow is the big day, the day of truth. The day when an old man sticks a pointy tool in my mouth and removes 4 pieces of my head.   That's right, kids. I'm having my wisdom teeth removed. ...
