Autobiography...

Melissa is....
a realist (often accused of being a pessimist), a friend, a therapist, a poet, a revolutionary, a fictional character, the monster in the closet and occasionally under the bed, a peacemaker, an enigma, that one girl, a bad hair day, a fresh idea, laidback, uptight, a contradiction, the occasional annoyance, a topic of interest, old news, the up and coming trend, without a clue, an anthology, adorable, unbearable, clingy, distant, a train wreck, better than a piece of toast (with butter and strawberry jam) and the original elitist virb snob ^.^.



I love music ... especially music which is very original made with [talent]
I love art ... but I'm not one of those stuck-up art snobs.
I love people ... some more than others and others less than I should.
I love books ... and prefer them to television.
I love movies ... and probably watch too many of them in a week.
I love quotes ... by people like Bukowski and Vonnegut that force thought into you.



I manage the virb profile for a band called the basement spiders:

They are quite good and you should check them out.
