Just Isn't Enough...

2000-2009... i'll miss you.
I can't believe it's ten years later & i'm still having debates on who's hotter; Legolas or Gandalf. I also got hooked on Harry Potter around the same time... again, can't believe it's a whole ten years later, and i'm STILL dressing up at midnight for the movies. I'm only 18 & i know i've got plenty of years ahead of me, but I honestly feel like no future time period will impact me as much as my teen years have. In the past decade, in addition to being introduced to a plethora of nerdy movies, books, and people... i've had some geeky experiences i'll always remember.
-the start of my love affair with piercings
- my 1st Ren Faire. I was 14 & got sick off medieval onion rings :]
-Pirates of the Caribbean!!
-which ultimately led to my 1st tattoo
-that one year i dressed up as Princess Jasmine & won a costume contest.
I want to i was maybe 9... i think that was the moment i knew i liked
dressing up and getting compliments.
-falling in love at a comic book store... with the store itself...
-introduced to the 3 best cult films of all time:
Rocky Horror, REPO!, & Forbidden Zone
-being launched into a new obsession thanks to the 2009 Star Trek reboot.
As awesomesauce & nerdy as this decade has been, i've got to say, i'm so ready for 2010.
Things can only get better. More costumes, more obsessions, more fun.

Thinking about our 10 yr high school reunion just now. In my head, most of the girls have all had plastic surgery. Boob jobs... lypo... nose jobs. Odds are, I'd be the only girl there who had cosmetic surgery to achieve awesomesauce Vulcan ears. I thnk i'd maybe even be content with just getting adorable pointed pixie ears done. I wonder how constructive ear surgery works... just wait... it'll happen.
***edit: Stahl Ear: an awesomesauce deformity where ungrateful buttholes come out of the womb with Vulcan-esque ears. I can't believe i've got to pay thousands of dollars for plastic surgery... and some people are just born with it. I bet they even hateeee their ears. I'd be more than happy to trade. I wonder if you can do that... an organ donor but for ears. If they could just chop off our ears and swap 'em... that'd be super...

I'd have a geek of a boyfriend...

Over the past few weeks, i've developed an irrational love for the android.
I think it's because he looks like sexy Ogre from Skinny Puppy... but acts like Spock, in a sense they don't really understand all human emotions or illogical ways of thinking. The difference, of course, being that while Spock is content and proud of his half Vulcan background, Data wants nothing more in the world than to be human... which makes me pity him :[

who reads this. Genuine friends? Creepy lurkers? Strangers? Enemies?
Guess it doesn't matter. I said before that I started this blog to keep old
friends up to date on what i've been doing... it was a lie... i'm up to date
on nothing here... and I write here for me. To look back later & remember
a certain date, feeling, or memory. Don't forget, Melissa... forgetting means
growing up!! I'm trying to update more. So many good things have been
happening that I never want to forget. Maybe I'll get started today. Maybe.
