About Me


| View Show | Create Your Own
Q: why are you known as Burns?
A: on the school bus in high school 2 boys said i looked like mr. burns (from the simpsons) and the name stuck. my parents, and strangers are pretty much the only people to call me melissa.
i take the time to smell the roses
i try not to take the everyday too serious
...but i know when to get serious
i love my family, we're not perfect, but we're awesome
i can say the same about my friends- they are the family that you choose. they rock.
i love music more than i probably should
...but i don't make enough of it myself
i'm a self-proclaimed nerd, c'mon, look at my movie taste!
i do old lady crafts (sewing, crochet, knit), but with a hip twist
i had braces for 9 months as a 24/25 year old. as much as they hurt at times, i never minded having them. i actually embraced them
i love people, i love socializing, i love meeting new people
i love to dance!
i enjoy dressing up
...but i can't get enough of my sweatpants
i love kareoke
