I'm going to be really naughty and only answer some of the questions from two different surveys. Heehee - it's all part of my plan for world domination!

Full Name: Melissa Day Hall

What does your name mean? Sweet as honey made by the bee, or little honey bee, or somesuchanother thing. 'Mel' is from the greek for honey, and Melissa was the nymph who cared for the baby Zeus in a hillside cave while he was hiding from his father Cronos.

Where are you going on your next vacation? The next one I'm planning is Eyriecon in Atlanta in September. I've foolishly volunteered to help coordinate room shares. (This does, however, ensure me a room on the proper nights) I may end up on a weekend jaunt to either Vancouver or Portland before then, but that's more of a spontaneous thing than flying across the country.

Nicknames: Misha

What's the dumbest female name you can think of? Good Lord... Um, anything ending in an i: Bambi, most likely - something that's written with a little heart to dot the i. A name where the most obvious nickname is 'Bubbles'. (Although, to tangent, I find it incredibly ironic that a stereotypically bimbo-ish name is one originally used by a stag - the king stag of the herd, no less.)

DOB: August 13, 1974, which makes me a Leo born under the Chinese sign of the Tiger. Meow.

What is your mental age? Yes.
I hit forty at about age 13, and since then I've been regressing. I can occasionally hit 'sefen yirs old', otherwise I swing between 22 and 56.

Are you good at cards? Yes and no. I haven't played enough poker or blackjack to really be good, and my cribbage skills are rusty, but I'm pretty good at rummy and I kick ass at canasta.

Sex: Female

One pillow or two? Four. I have these two giant body pillows - one has been relegated to headboard/cat highway, and I tend to wrap myself around the other. My non-squishy feather pillow gets placed in the small of my back, and the squishy down pillow goes under my head. Even empty, my bed looks like someone's in it.

Do you eat chicken fingers with a fork? Hell no. That's just wrong. (And they're best with that nasty pepper gravy you get at Dairy Queen.)

Height : 5'8

What is your most common facial expression? I'm told I look like I have 'serious concern' on my face when I'm reading, so that would have to take first place, but a close second is a happy smile verging on an outright grin.

Hair Color: Blond. Right now, I tend to think of it as thatch - sort of the color of wheat straw. It's been red before, and almost brown, and even light sea green for a couple of summers when I was swimming every day.

Favorite Sport to Watch: Ho god. Pardon me while I collapse into a little puddle: Men's Olympic Diving. Water polo and gymnastics tie for a very distant second.

Favorite number: 13 - No triskadekaphobes here!

If you found out your best friend was gay/lesbian, what would you do? Too late. Found that out in college. I think my reaction was: 'Oh. Cool. So you tell me about your girlfriends while I tell you about my boyfriends, 'kay?' Or something along those lines. We've both still got the letters we were firing back and forth, so I've no doubt it's recorded for prosperity somewhere.

Favorite color: Green. I was in denial about this for the longest time - in grade school we wore the standard green plaid uniforms, and I quickly grew to despise them. I think Mom may still have one of my skirts and a sweater of Dru's.

Words or Phrases you overuse: Snerd is my favorite non-word. I can't say as that I overuse it, really. Fuck I'm trying to cut back on, perhaps replace it with felch what I'm cursing, but fuck has that harder, more pissed sound to it.

Eye Color: Blue, mostly.

Would you rather be deaf or blind? Deaf. So much of what I enjoy is visual - reading, writing and that whole bit, that I'd feel so lost without those to anchor me.

Whuff.

I keep getting distracted by this ink smudge on my hand that looks like a bird in flight. Neat, but not quite what's burning through my head.

In fanfic, one of my big turnons is threesomes. Could it be a reaction to the One-True-Pairing stuff that goes around? Yeah. Or it could be that if two guys together is hot, three guys is even hotter.

And then real life intrudes. My best friend (the one who came out in college) isn't just a lesbian - she's polyamorous as well. And today at least, she's not exactly happy with that whole scene. She's a secondary partner without a primary of her - a third wheel in an unbalanced cart wheeling along.

And looking at the Seattle Poly scene (from the outside at least), it makes me wonder if a stable triad is possible. I talk a good game about wanting two guys of my very own, but considering I'm single now and will likely remain that way for the forseeable future (barring the unlikely event that I actually get a life), what the hell do I know?

The way the polys do it, there's primaries and secondaries, and one's definitely the stable relationship, and the other becomes more of a fuck-buddy type thing. And that, to me, seems unfair to all parties. It may work for some people, but I like to think that a trio where each member is equally committed to the other two is more stable and more desirable than primaries and secondaries. Again - what do I know?

I suppose I'll just keep reading and writing, and blissfully shove real life into a shoebox and call it research. Whee.

Just finished the latest Mercedes Lackey: Serpent's Shadow - the cleverest retelling of Snow White and the Seven Dwarves as I've ever seen. I've always loved fairy tales, and anytime I see a classic tale like this updated (all the way to Imperial Britain), it's a thrill.

Of course, that's why I do my fractured fairy tales, of course. And that Sleeping Beauty thing, which is limping along. Eh. I can't do internal meandering for more than a page before I get bored.

But anyway...

I splurged tonight - besides the book purchase, of course, (from Amazon, earlier in the week) which arrived on my doorstep mere moments after I called for the pizza. A bit sudden, but the pizza came in 20 minutes, not the 45-50 they were promising, so everything was good. And I have to remember - JetCity is good pizza, not that flat tasteless crap Pagliacci's sends out. Ick.

I don't know if I'll show up to Bindlechat tonight - I'm feeling a little worn around the edges, and I've got to beat my laptop around the head and shoulders until it connects to the Internet again. I can get at my mail, but it's so bloody annoying not to have everything downloaded and waiting in the correct folders for me to read or delete or ignore for another day.

Oof!

Dumbass cat just jumped all 16 pounds of himself into my lap - a vertical leap that landed him directly on my arms.

Idiotboy now probably expects me to pet him, too.

Damnitall. He's right.

Departure by Imajiru - what's this, the fifth time I've reread it in the space of a month?

Whuff. I just can't figure out how I didn't find it earlier.
