Who is this chick anyway?

My name is Melissa and I am female. I was born in Arkansas, then I moved to the East coast (Washington DC), and then i moved back again. I realize that I am more of a city girl than I ever thought because I still feel like Dr. Fleischman wondering where the bagels and lox are. Okay for the longest time, my mantra was, “I can’t find any hummus in this town!”

I am an attorney and graduated law school. The fascinating part of that picture is that I’m 5’10″ and was wearing 3 inch heels. Ms. Reno was wearing flats. Yeah, that’s a tall woman.

I even went to Kenya to help build a school with some college classmates of mine. I am really proud of this achievement and am hoping to go back to Africa in the somewhat near future. [this was written on 1/1/2011]

I like running, movies, books, goofiness, opera, piano playing, tasty food, yoga. and posting random stuff on this blog. I’ve posted something on the internet in some form or other since 2000. I write to vent, share my thoughts, and otherwise prevent myself from going to prison for smacking folks in the head.

I hate snobbery, elitism, iceberg lettuce, boiled okra (it looks like boggers), screeching tires, and bullying.
