So I got a chance to play coed softball tonight and I was so excited but sooo nervous. I didn't want to screw up. I played third and actually had 2 good plays there. I got a force out from a grounder and tagged a guy out after a great throw from the outfield. It was sweet. I got a few hits, but my batting needs some work. I missed 2 grounders, so my defense needs some work too, but hey, for not playing in 2 years, I think I did great. Of course my Dad had to ask if I was still pulling it to third and left field because I get too excited and swing early. He used to always yell "Wait on it!" when I played years ago. They invited me back to play again so I hope I can. I could play softball every night of the week and never get sick of it!
Off to Columbia for the rest of the week, then the party starts on Thursday afternoon or evening, yay!!!!!!!!!

Cute new pic
Pic from Saturday at Frankie and Louie's. My hair looks pretty long but my outfit looks like it came out of my dirty laundry, which ironically the shirt did. I hadn't done laundry in awhile because the dryer was broke and I knew I was getting a new one. But that's neither here nor there.

Weekend
What a fun weekend!! Well, the weekend kinda started on Thursday night when Margaret and I hit the Blue Room for 80's night and $2 beers. I am not allowed to have more than 1 jagerbomb ever again because I was a little sick and had to do a little cleaning due to me being sick when I got home. I had to work Friday morning and it sucked bad! I think I was still drunk that morning, so I took it easy on Friday night. 80's night was fun and Margaret was in the top 5 in the dance contest. Pictures below.
Margaret and Jackie met some guys on Friday night and we went out on the boat with them on Saturday, first to Frankie and Louie's. I discovered the best drink of all time and it's good because I don't get as dehydrated. I thought maybe Malibu and water would be good, but I tried and it was love at first sight. I even had a short pretend wedding ceremony where we got married. We then went to Backwater Jack's and Dog Days and I met a lot of fun people. The guys on the boat were super fun and I think everyone had a great time. It was a great day to be out on the water.
The only bad thing is that the new roommate is really stressing me out. He's being really inconsiderate and messy and it's pissing me off. We got into a screaming match on Friday night because he was outside being really loud at 1:30 am. I wasn't sleeping but I was worried that people in the neighborhood would get pissed.
Pictures from Thursday and one from Friday night:
Margaret obviously doesn't want to take anymore pics with me.
Cute pic of Kent and myself.
Margaret was in the dance contest and was moonwalking and doing the Roger Rabbit too.

How my life is like Sex and the City
Things that happened on Sex and the City that are similar to my life:
1. Once when we were in Florida I met this guy and then a few hours later he was talking to some hootchie mama. So before we left, I threw a drink on him and ran out. This is similar to when Samantha throws the drink on Richard and says "Dirty martini for a dirty bastard." I like her version better.
2. It's quite impossible to always control bodily noises, especially farting. Especially if I've been holding it in for awhile. So sometimes, it accidently happens in the morning and if someone is in bed with me, that's embarassing. But I just play it off like, oh well. Carrie did that once in bed with Mr. Big and the sound was haunting her for days, then he put a whoopee cushion on her chair after that.
3. My favorite word to say if a toliet isn't working is "ballcock." I guess there really is a part called that, but I just like to say it. When Aiden fixes Carrie's toliet, after they broke up, she said, "The last word we say to each other can't be ballcock."
4. Women have to occasionally pluck hairs in areas where we should not have them, believe it or not. If you don't, then you are lucky. I'm probably the only person to admit it. It seems like the same ones come back in the same exact places, like I have a dark hair by my bellybutton that remerges itself sometimes. That's similar to when Samantha finds a gray hair "down there" and says she can't pluck it because 6 more will come to it's funeral!
5. Heidi and I went to Soulard Market once so I could find a fake Coach or Louis Vuitton bag. I found a Coach bag but now I hate it so I hid it in my closet. Carrie and Samantha go to buy a fake Fendi bag in some guy's trunk when they are visiting L.A.
6. I once asked out a guy who had a girlfriend, because I thought he was showing a little interest in me. This is very similar to the episode where Carrie asks out Berger, but he has a girlfriend. I know how she felt.
7. In a little story that I would like to forget, a guy once told me he didn't want to date me anymore....via text message. Wow. This is similar to when Berger broke up with Carrie....via post-it. That was a funny episode, especially at the end where Carrie says, today is not the day I got dumped by a post-it, it's the day I got arrested for smokin' a doobie!
8. When I was in college once, my roommate got food from KFC and it smelled so good. After she left for night class, the KFC container was in the trash on the very top and there was an entire chicken strip and some fries in there that were untouched. Of course, I ate them! This reminds me of when Miranda makes the chocolate cake and then throws it away and then eats it out of the trash. She then calls Carrie and tells her this and that she might need this info when checking Miranda into the Betty Crocker clinic.
9. There is a Chinese restaurant by my office that I absolutely love. Sometimes I will eat there twice in one week. I know it's not the most healthy, but the chicken is sauteed and it has lots of veggies, so it's better than a lot of things I could eat. I don't even have to tell the girl what I want anymore, she already knows what I order. Miranda orders take-out from this one Chinese restaurant so often that the girl knows her complete order and then giggles, which pisses Miranda off.
10. Sometimes guys like to do things in the bedroom that kinda surprise me. Not necessarily a bad thing though. I won't go into details, but it's kind of like the episode where Miranda is hooking up with a guy she met while training for a marathon and they hook up after a run one day. The girls ask her how it was and she says, it's was good, but he kind of licked my butt!
11. When we up at Mardi Gras in STL, it was way too cold to show our boobs during the parade. However, after the parade we were in Heidi's car and were driving down this road next to a float full of people and they were yelling. I rolled down the window and flashed them and they started throwing hella beads at us. It was great. There is an episode where the girls are at the Fleet Week Ball and Carrie sees everyone's boobs in that episode.
12. I hate when guys have body hair, especially on their back. In the episode where the girls go to the wedding in the Hamptons, Charlotte makes her date Harry wax his back. Only it turns out to be bright red and gross.
One thing they should have included in that show is an episode where someone gets their panties stolen by a guy who has a weird panty fetish. That would be another similarity with my life.

Dallas memories, March 07
irst off, I was laughing so hard at lunch that I cried some at Heidi's comment about Lik-m-aid which is usually known as Fun Dip.
Second, when I was little I put some salt stuff on the roof of my parents car and the vinyl top turned from brown to bright orange. I can't remember much of the details but I don't remember getting in trouble for it so I think my parents either never knew it was me or they just didn't say anything. Heidi and I were discussing how our Mom's had to drive cars that sucked and that always broke down. I was always embarassed of our cars, but how fun would it be if we would have had nice cars?
Third, the bartender at Mantis (Mantus), which is where we hung out tonight and last night, was obsessed with us. Which of course would make sense because we are the most awesomest girls of all time.
Fourth, the DART, which stands for Dallas Area Rapid Transit (I asked some guys last night because I had to know what DART stood for ), is the best invention of all time. Except when the crazy lady touched my hand and also touched Heidi's arm with her dirty old lady soft skin and it was really gross. Also, someone crapped their pants on the DART and it smelled so bad and I asked Heidi if she did it and then I said I didn't so we didn't know where it came from. And, someone was playing loud music even though the sign clearly said "No loud music."
Fifth, Bagels on Heidi and Melissa is awesome. Pictures later.
Sixth, we hate everyone at O Bar, including the guy who tried to steal our cab and I gave him a dirty look.
Seventh, why do people in Dallas eat lunch at like 2 pm? At noon, there was no one at the restaurant but at 2 pm it was packed!!!!!!! Eat lunch at a normal time!!!
Eighth, I wanted to punch the lady who was hogging the jukebox at Silhouettes and then when we played Elton John and even paid extra to have it played first, when it came on, her comment was "Surely I didn't play this?" No, bitch, because you played Goldigger and Gorillaz and some other nasty bullshit that we didn't know. We thought we might trick her when we played Bon Jovi but we should have known that she would love it.
Ninth, Blimpie in the Plaza thing via Skywalk is never open. WTF?? We went there yesterday and today at lunchtime and it wasn't open.
Tenth, the most douchebag fraternity of all time is having their gay formal at the hotel tonight and they are pissing us off. Heidi almost kicked some guy's ass because he thought he was being funny and touched her ass sorta and then she kinda went ape-shizz on him. If he would have touched her, my ape-shizz would have came out and it would have been really embarassing for him. This is why I'm glad I'm out of college and don't have to deal with fraternity guys thinking they are super cool only because they are in a fraternity.

Dear alcohol
Dear Alcohol.. First & foremost, let me tell you that I'm a huge fan of yours. My best friend, you always seem to be there when needed. The perfect stress reliever, a cooldown on a hot summer day, and warmth in the cold winter months. However, lately I've been wondering about your intentions. While I want to believe that you have my best interests at heart, I feel that your influence has led to some unwise consequences:
1. Phone calls: While I agree with you that communication is important, I question the suggestion that any conversation of substance or necessity takes place after 2 a.m. Why would you make me call certain douchebags when I know for a fact they do not want to hear from me during the day, let alone all hours of the night? Same goes with messages on myspace and text messages, please stop me.
2. Eating: Now, you know I love a good meal, but why do you suggest that Heidi and I eat 3 orders of cheese fries, 10 White Castle burgers, and 1 order of cheese sticks? Or if it's just me, why do I need a Mexican pizza and Nachos Bell Grande? I'm an eclectic eater, but I think you went too far this time.
3. Clumsiness: I see NO need to hammer the issue home by causing me to fall down and bang my elbows and knees on anything in sight. It's completely unnecessary, and the black & blue marks that appear on my body mysteriously the next day are beyond me. Making my way to the bathroom seems to be hard to do sometimes too when I'm trapped in my closet.
4. Losing things. I lost my awesome feather boa (Leroy), my favorite cooler cup, some of my dignity and self-respect....and that's just in 1 night. I'm glad you helped me keep track of my phone and camera though, thank you for that.
5. Furthermore: The hangovers have GOT to stop. This is getting ridiculous. I know a little penance for our previous evening's debauchery may be in order, but the 3pm hangover immobility is completely unacceptable! My entire day is shot. Alcohol, I have enjoyed our friendship for some years now & would like to ensure that we remain on good terms. You've been the invoker of great stories, the provocation for much laughter, and the needed companion when I just don't know what to do with the extra money in my pockets. In order to continue this friendship, I ask that you carefully review my grievances above & address them immediately.I will look for an answer no later than Friday on your possible solutions & hopefully we can continue this fruitful partnership.
I love you,
Melissa

Fav memories of 2006
Top ten favorite memories of 2006
10. Father's Day weekend - this was also my little brother's 21st bday, but he's not quite the partier so we just went to dinner. My family means a lot to me and I really do enjoy spending time with them.
9. Mardi Gras pub crawl in February - Amy brought blinky cups for me and I decided to sell them for $10 each for beer money. I made about $90 and spent it all on alcohol at the bars that night. Everyone kept asking where we got them. Amy wasn't feeling well and after Brian and Scott were talking about clam chowder and farting, she puked down the side of the car. It was disgusting when we looked the next morning and they drove back to STL with the car like that.
8. Halloween weekend - We hit Frankie and Louie's for the $1 drinks and food day. I am not sure how many drinks I had (at least 7-8, but maybe more?) and a little food, our bar tab was only $60. We left there and got ready and went to the Blue Room. It's too bad my memory of that evening is pretty weak, but I know it was fun. I was supposed to be a mummy, but everyone kept thinking I was a priest or the Pope or something. All I know is that I was wasted when I went to bed and had to get up really early to go to the Chiefs game that day. We tailgated before the game and the first beer was really tough to get down, but then I was drinking away and got a little drunk at the game. The game was a lot of fun and I'm glad we went.
7. 4th of July weekend - any summer holiday weekend is fun and this weekend was no different. We did the usual party cove stuff, but this time there was some drama. Two of Jon's friends who were a couple, broke up and that was causing problems. The guy I was seeing and I got into it because I kissed some other guy at party cove, oopsie. I was pissed at him so I threw all of his stuff outside and let me tell you, that is a fun thing to do. I highly recommend trying it sometime. He then went over to Jon's, which pissed me off, so I went over there and yelled for awhile to get him to leave. The guys at party cove who did the boob washes were great, that was classic. That's all I really remember from that weekend, but I know it was a good one.
6.Labor Day weekend - I remember this better because it was at the end of the summer. The last big party before fall hits. This was when we hung out with the Wichita crew on their houseboat at party cove. The next houseboat over had a dance contest on their stage and pole they made, so that was interesting. Margaret should have won just for helping grease up the pole. I'm glad her and her gang rented the boat to come out there because I had a lot more fun with them there. Jen was out there with some of her girl friends too. Max had a little encounter with the coast guard and water patrol and had to spend a short amount of time in jail. Oops. Sunday night at the Blue Room was great because almost all of us were there and it wasn't crowded otherwise. Great way to end the summer.
5. Memorial weekend - this weekend started out with me getting so drunk before everyone went to Topsider that I left early and went to my place and passed out. After the bars, I guess everyone decided to party at my place while I was downstairs passed out. I had no idea until the next morning. We had a great time at party cove on Saturday with all the girls there, the usual suspects (Ryan, Jason, Jon, Josh, Craig, etc), and Justin's friends from Colorado. Jen was also there with her girl friends. That's all I remember from that weekend, sorry!
4. Visiting Amanda in Alabama - Amanda is one of my best friends and I only get to see her about twice a year. I went down to her neck of the woods this summer. I met a lot of her friends from Alabama, went out on her friend's boat into the ocean and saw a lot of beautiful wildlife and water that I had never seen before (including jellyfish), and spent some relaxing time at the beach. People in Alabama are a little behind when it comes to music, because all they listen to is Sweet Home Alabama (just kidding Amanda). I was the only person at her local bar who knew Crazy Bitch and this was in July! We had fun having our own dance party at the bar in Gulf Shores too and eating at Waffle House at 3 am.
3. Shootout weekend - my first trip to Big Dick's happened and my hair was totally screwed up from riding 70 mph in a boat all the way there. This is when I met Christian (thanks for letting me wear your apron in the nude), Greg, Carrie, and Brian (all Jon's friends). They were so much fun. This was the night of the text msg war (it's your Mom's) and the time that someone (I won't say who) decided not to wear clothes home from Shooters. The stereo contest on Friday night was so much fun, I won't be missing that next year. I wore the captain's hat to the Blue Room and Topsider and everyone was being my friend. This year I want a pirate's hat to wear. Some friends from college were in town and they couldn't believe how crazy I've become. That's me...
2. My birthday - Heidi came to visit me (in the yellow stretch nuts car) and that made the weekend awesome. Ryan, some girl, Heidi, Margaret, and I went to the Blue Room (after us girls talking about stretch nuts for an extended period of time). Some other people were there that night too, including Casey, the hottest guy ever from the gym. He also likes Cheyenne, but him and his friend went swimming with us following the bars. Saturday we hit party cove and it was ok, but I felt sick from the combination of too much alcohol, Redi Whip, and food. That night we went to Dog Days to see Disco Dick but I was too busy tripping over my heels getting stuck in the floorboards. That was the night we created the signal and once again went swimming when we got home. Jen's friend was wearing my "pee shoes" and he wouldn't take them off. On Sunday, Heidi and I discovered a new show - Instant Beauty Pageant - and watched that for hours after pigging out on Culvers. Double bacon butterburger anyone?
1. Homecoming - of course anytime with Heidi is fun, but including our old stomping grounds makes the time even better. After drinking big beers at El Torrero, we hit the nightlife of Cape G. The first place wasn't so great so we hit Ragsdales. It hasn't changed a bit, which is great. After a big beer, 2 chocolate martinis, and numerous Mich Ultras, I still wasn't drunk! Finally it all hit me at once and we saw some guys I knew from high school. They tricked us into coming over by telling us they were having a party. Yeah right! Luckily, A-hole made the Pike sober ride (I guess he paid him) give us a ride home. The drinking began about 8 am on Saturday with mudslides and donuts and then to the Playdium and parade. Phil "Rowdy" Collins was in the parade. We sang and danced at the Playdium (after my minor puking episode behind the Playdium) and didn't want to leave! After watching the football game for awhile, Wendy's was calling our name. We ate way too much, napped, then got ready to hit the bars again. After a night downtown, we made our way to Hushpuppy for some stripperific fun. The fattest stripper ever was there....and another strippers chest smelled like shaving cream. New words and phrases were made this weekend including schwent, osha, barturtle, turtletender, and not now!
That's my rundown of my fav memories of 2006. I probably left some parts out because almost every one of those involves alcohol. Anyone have anything they would like to add????

5. Memorial weekend - this weekend started out with me getting so drunk before everyone went to Topsider that I left early and went to my place and passed out. After the bars, I guess everyone decided to party at my place while I was downstairs passed out. I had no idea until the next morning. We had a great time at party cove on Saturday with all the girls there, the usual suspects (Ryan, Jason, Jon, Josh, Craig, etc), and Justin's friends from Colorado. Jen was also there with her girl friends. That's all I remember from that weekend, sorry!
4. Visiting Amanda in Alabama - Amanda is one of my best friends and I only get to see her about twice a year. I went down to her neck of the woods this summer. I met a lot of her friends from Alabama, went out on her friend's boat into the ocean and saw a lot of beautiful wildlife and water that I had never seen before (including jellyfish), and spent some relaxing time at the beach. People in Alabama are a little behind when it comes to music, because all they listen to is Sweet Home Alabama (just kidding Amanda). I was the only person at her local bar who knew Crazy Bitch and this was in July! We had fun having our own dance party at the bar in Gulf Shores too and eating at Waffle House at 3 am.
3. Shootout weekend - my first trip to Big Dick's happened and my hair was totally screwed up from riding 70 mph in a boat all the way there. This is when I met Christian (thanks for letting me wear your apron in the nude), Greg, Carrie, and Brian (all Jon's friends). They were so much fun. This was the night of the text msg war (it's your Mom's) and the time that someone (I won't say who) decided not to wear clothes home from Shooters. The stereo contest on Friday night was so much fun, I won't be missing that next year. I wore the captain's hat to the Blue Room and Topsider and everyone was being my friend. This year I want a pirate's hat to wear. Some friends from college were in town and they couldn't believe how crazy I've become. That's me...
2. My birthday - Heidi came to visit me (in the yellow stretch nuts car) and that made the weekend awesome. Ryan, some girl, Heidi, Margaret, and I went to the Blue Room (after us girls talking about stretch nuts for an extended period of time). Some other people were there that night too, including Casey, the hottest guy ever from the gym. He also likes Cheyenne, but him and his friend went swimming with us following the bars. Saturday we hit party cove and it was ok, but I felt sick from the combination of too much alcohol, Redi Whip, and food. That night we went to Dog Days to see Disco Dick but I was too busy tripping over my heels getting stuck in the floorboards. That was the night we created the signal and once again went swimming when we got home. Jen's friend was wearing my "pee shoes" and he wouldn't take them off. On Sunday, Heidi and I discovered a new show - Instant Beauty Pageant - and watched that for hours after pigging out on Culvers. Double bacon butterburger anyone?
1. Homecoming - of course anytime with Heidi is fun, but including our old stomping grounds makes the time even better. After drinking big beers at El Torrero, we hit the nightlife of Cape G. The first place wasn't so great so we hit Ragsdales. It hasn't changed a bit, which is great. After a big beer, 2 chocolate martinis, and numerous Mich Ultras, I still wasn't drunk! Finally it all hit me at once and we saw some guys I knew from high school. They tricked us into coming over by telling us they were having a party. Yeah right! Luckily, A-hole made the Pike sober ride (I guess he paid him) give us a ride home. The drinking began about 8 am on Saturday with mudslides and donuts and then to the Playdium and parade. Phil "Rowdy" Collins was in the parade. We sang and danced at the Playdium (after my minor puking episode behind the Playdium) and didn't want to leave! After watching the football game for awhile, Wendy's was calling our name. We ate way too much, napped, then got ready to hit the bars again. After a night downtown, we made our way to Hushpuppy for some stripperific fun. The fattest stripper ever was there....and another strippers chest smelled like shaving cream. New words and phrases were made this weekend including schwent, osha, barturtle, turtletender, and not now!
That's my rundown of my fav memories of 2006. I probably left some parts out because almost every one of those involves alcohol. Anyone have anything they would like to add????
Homecoming memories
You know it's a good night when you puke before you even go out (junior and senior years).
I remember laying in the grass after a Lambda Chi party waiting for sober ride to come get me and a bunch of pledges had to help me to the car. Screwdriver breakfast at the Lambda Chi's was always a good time.
Heidi and I made jello shots one year and we also drank some peach schnapps which made us un-drunk!! We got to the bar and realized that we were still sober somehow, even after drinking for hours!
Dr. Brian, Dr. Brian, wake up!
Heidi's parents got a limo one year and when we got to the parade, we saw their limo dropping them off in front of the Playdium. Oh shyte, it's my parents' limo! After the parade we were walking to my car and I hear "there's the girl who broke my table!" Yeah, he was talking to me, from when I broke the table on my 21st bday!
I remember my Dad walking into the Playdium one year and I was so drunk and hungover that I didn't recognize him until he said hi to me. I saw him walk in and I thought, who is that guy?
Heidi, you need to have another hairdo like that year we stayed at my brothers.
We also made Brian P pay our way into the Crackle one year. Hah! Then we stopped at Don's in the ghetto and avoided getting shot to get some cheesy tater tots.
Drinking mudslides and eating donuts is tradition before the parade. Maybe we should add mimosas to the list because that would be yum yum.
Pranking Melissa Landgon in the middle of the night is always good fun.
Heidi leaving at 6 in the morning to go party and she wasn't coming home until she made out with someone!
Puking after the parade and going back into the bar to continue drinking for hours.
Dancing in the street at Jeremiahs when my brother comes to pick up the drunks.
Schmitty has a drinking problem and is having an affair with Claire McCaskill.
Fat people should not be strippers, they should be secretaries.
What are you guys gonna do? Sit around and listen to Journey all night long?
Ordering $15 worth of food from Wendy's for just Heidi and I.

6 of my weird habits
1. I am obsessed with chewing on things. Call it an oral fixation (yes, think whatever you want) if you will, but I am always chewing on everything. First and foremost is chewing and biting my nails. I've done that for as long as I can remember and I've tried to quit. I love chewing on those plastic tags that hold the price tag on your clothes. I also love chewing on pens until the ink comes out in my mouth and that's gross. I know it's totally unsanitary, but whatever, I do it anyway.
2. I hate eggs with a passion. I don't know how to cook them either, so don't ask me to make you eggs. When I was little I always wondered how you would know if you were getting a yolk, or a little baby chicken when you cracked open an egg. I'm not sure I know that answer today. My dad even had a little chicken house for awhile when I was little and I liked them. Hopefully, the only time I use eggs (in a cake mix, brownies, etc), I won't crack it open and a little baby chicken would come out. That would be weird.
3. Also, when I was little, I thought rent-to-own places were magical. You could get a big screen tv and only pay $20 a week for it?? What a deal!! I thought my parents were strange for not going to the local rent-to-own place so we could have a big tv, a new couch, whatever...when we had a smaller tv and a couch that wasn't as cool as the ones on tv. I knew when I grew up I would definitely get everything from a rent-to-own place.
4. I am not photogenic and I always hate how I look in pictures. If I make someone take a picture of me, I make them take a bunch until it's perfect. If not, then I look at the picture and critique it and find something wrong (for example: I think my arms look fat in every picture, hence the term BFA - big fat arm/s). I don't believe I look as bad in person as I do in some of my pictures.
5. I am super-obsessed with Sex and the City and sometimes I feel like that's real life. I compare a lot of things in my life with SATC. For instance, I want to find a man just like Steve...he was so in love with Miranda for years and finally they got back together and got married. Of course, I don't want to be a single mother like Miranda was before they did get back together, but anyway. I never watched it when it was on HBO because I was a poor college kid and didn't have that channel. I didn't start watching the show until the reruns starting on TBS but now I have every dvd. I watch it every night at 10 and 11 if I'm home and if I'm up. I also want to write a book someday like Carrie. I also have the trivia game so if you are ever up for challenging me, let's do it! We can make it into a drinking game like Heidi and I did.
6. I love doing the crossword puzzle in People magazine and that's the first thing I do when I pick up the magazine from the mail on Friday or the weekend. I don't look through the magazine until I've done the crossword. I also like the crossword puzzle in TV Guide but it's usually too hard, at least People's is easier.
