Birthday: 6/15/1900
Gender: Female
Interests: I am a history buff, and I've been studying Czar Nicholas II and his family since I was 11 (I'm a nerd). I've also been acting since I was six years old, and I love every minute of it. I also enjoy writing, reading, and knitting (I'm pretty sure the last hobby is a hint at the future in which I am a cat lady). My favorite TV shows are La Femme Nikita, Higher Ground, and Firefly. I also like Mutant X, Roswell, Stargate SG-1, Buffy, Angel, MI-5, Earth 2, Battlestar Galactica, Wildfire, The Unit, etc. Oh, and Roy Dupuis is the man I want to marry. |

| Top 5 Dean QuotesHere are my 5 favorite phrases that Dean says on 'Supernatural.' I warn you, while some of them are funny to all viewers, some of them are funny simply because I have a bizarre sense of humor :)
1. (Dean has been stuck in a hospital bed watching daytime TV):
"That fabric softener teddy bear... Ooh, I wanna hunt that little bitch down." From the episode 'Faith'
2. Mrs. Carrigan (who, along with her husband, is torturing Dean and Sam): "Oh, you know what I say when I feel like swearing? Fudge."
Dean: "I'll try and remember that."
Mr. Carrigan: "You boys have no idea how lucky you are. There was a time when kids came from miles around--just to be sitting where you are."
Sam: "What do you think you're doing with those [pliers]?"
Dean: "You fudging touch me again, I'll fudging kill you!" From the episode 'A Very Supernatural Christmas'
3.(After Henrickson has recently been freed of a demon that was possessing him):
Henrickson: upset: "....I shot the sheriff."
Dean: "...But you didn't shoot the deputy." From the episode 'Jus in Bello'
4. (Sam has just switched his digital camera to night vision):
Dean: "Do I look like Paris Hilton?" From the episode 'Blood Mary'
5. Dean: "Or it's a Bigfoot. You know, and he's some kind of alcoholo-porno addict. Kind of like a deep-woods Duchovny." From the episode 'Wishful Thinking'
And yeah, I know this isn't a Dean quote, but it makes me laugh SO hard. Oh, those crazy Ghostfacers...
Ed: "The aforementioned super-annoying Winchester douche-nozzles (LMAO!!!) also taught us this one other thing."
Harry: "You have to burn the remains. Okay, this next part gets a little gross. Sometimes... you might have to... dig up the body. Sorry."
Ed: "It's illegal in some states."
Harry: "All states."
Ed: "Possibly all states."
Nite all!~Mel

| And the ER Has Officially Closed its DoorsOkay, so you were all expecting it. Melissa's "Farewell ER" post. I spent three hours tonight watching the behind the scenes discussion with cast and crew about the ER journey, as well as the season finale. And all I can say is...
I want more  .
I know, I know. How selfish of me, right? I've been watching the show since the 6th season aired (though I have seen all of the earlier seasons as well)---meaning I've gotten nine years of ER greatness. Years of watching Carter, crying whenever he cried simply because Noah Wyle is just that amazing. Years of adoring Luka and Abby, sighing with relief when the writers finally allowed them to get married. Years of hating Romano and Weaver, only to eventually like Weaver...and still hate Romano. Years of laughing at scenes that I shouldn't (Anyone remember Romano and the helicopter? Or how about Ray and the truck? Anyone?). And years of being glued to the TV on Thursday, often finding myself in tears by the end of the hour.
Bye ER. You'll be missed (but fondly remembered in my DVD collection).

| I Tightened All the Knots 'Til They Were Strong...Guy of the Day:  Tahmoh Penikett (He has been all over the TV this weekend...) The "10 Things About Me" meme is running rampant on LJ. So I figured I would share my answers with all 4.5 of you, my blog readers, as things have been quiet here on the...blog front. So... 1. I go through phases with TV shows. That's not to say I'm not constantly addicted to my faves, cuz I am. I just go through phases of watching them. Right now, I'm in a Higher Ground phase. Gah, I miss that show.
2. Despite the fact that I am 22, I love YA literature. I get really upset when other adults dismiss YA lit as nothing more than multiple versions of Gossip Girl. Some of the BEST works I have ever read are YA. "The Summoning" by Kelley Armstrong. "Old Magic" by Marianne Curley. Scott Westerfeld, Neal Shusterman, Kevin Brooks, Libba Bray....these are some of the finest writers of our time.
3. I have the habit of dancing in public when a really good song comes on my i-pod 
4. I am obsessed with going for walks outside. It's really hard living in the Midwest because of how harsh our winters are--kinda hard to walk when there's half a foot of snow  But as soon as spring comes, I'm out the door walking around the block as much as possible.
5. I have a fake phobia of hay because it's funny and a great conversation piece during hayrides. I have a real phobia of clowns (which my father thinks is funny---he keeps threatening to put statues of them in my room when I'm not home) and Leoben from Battlestar Galactica. Dude is creepy.
6. I used to hate the smell of most flowers, particularly roses. I've lost a lot of people in my life, starting at the age of 5, and I always connected the smell of roses with funerals. My boyfriend Leo has changed all of this. He's given me so many roses, so many flowers in general, that I now tie the smell of them to him and the memories he's given me.
7. I love sprinkles, to the point where I'm sure an intervention is already being planned. No, I don't eat them on their own, but I do pile them on things like frozen yogurt and sherbet. The people at Baskin Robbins fear me because they know, in one visit, I can take out their entire supply. Mwahahaha.
8. While my favorite song ever is 'Is Jesus Your Pal?' by Gus Gus, I currently cannot stop listening to 'Nowhere to Now-here' by The Kin. It's wicked addictive.
9. A reviewer of a play I was in wrote that I looked like Natalie Portman. Within days, it was on a Natalie Portman website and her fans were discussing whether or not I looked like her. It was hilarious.
10. And the grand finale. The thing that will reveal so much about me, it will make you understand my very essence, my very soul...
My checks have Peanuts characters on them. :) | | |
| Blast from the PastThis is dedicated to all of my friends who remember Captain Planet and love it for all of its stereotypical campy-ness. And double kudos to those who know the entire theme song (I can name a couple of you who have sung it with me ). 
Cyanide & Happiness @ Explosm.net
Speaking of blasts from the past, I was listening to the radio on the way home from Chi-town with me mum and Ace of Base came on. That's right, don't pretend you weren't a fan. You had their tape, just like I did. You saw the sign and it opened up your eyes, you saw the sign. Anyway, their song "All That She Wants is Another Baby" came on and, somehow, I remembered all the words to the first verse. Yeah. Even I was scared. Nite! ~Mel | | |
| Another Year Begins...Hey, all! Happy New Year! I know it's been a while since my last post, but between finals and Christmas, things have been insane. Still all's well that ends well, right? I got straight As (yays!) and I only have one semester to go (thank God). As for Christmas, it was amazing. It was the first one I spent with Leo and I couldn't have imagined it being any better---though he did completely spoil me with presents!!! What a troublemaker. Speaking of presents, one of the things he got me didn't come in on time, so he gave it to me yesterday. You guys won't even be able to guess. My brain goes numb just thinking about it. ...an autograph by Roy Dupuis. ROY FREAKIN' DUPUIS. My acting idol. The man I have been obsessed with since before I started high school. The legend. I still can't believe it. But I digress (at least in my blog--in my mind, I'm still squealing like a small child). Back to yesterday. My parents wanted to have a small party with some of their friends. I invited Leo to come over and hang, and we all had a blast. We ate food, talked a lot about the military (we had four different generations of men from four different branches!), played games, drank champagne, and laughed hysterically. PS---Leo cheats at the card game Spoons. But that's only because he's terrible at it. As for today, it's been pretty chill and a lot of fun. I hung out with Leo this morning, going to Mass and walking the mall. And then, after one of the best naps ever, I played video games with Richard and Stephen. I haven't played video games all night since I was like...twelve. But I can't even begin to tell you how much I enjoyed it! We played Ultimate Alliance and DC vs. Mortal Kombat. And let me tell you, I kicked some major ass. Oh, and both of them want to play again tomorrow! I love Christmas break . ~Mel | | |
