Profile

I was born in Texas and I've lived in Texas all my life, but don't take that to mean that I am a stereotypical Texan because I'm pretty sure I'm not, unless the stereotypical Texan is considerably different than what most people seem to think! I'm scared to death of horses (or rather of falling off of one) and I'm pretty sure I've never worn a cowboy hat or a pair of boots in my life. Plus I'm a liberal, which, y'know, is not exactly the norm. People have even told me I don't have much of an accent but I don't really think that's true - I think they were expecting something more like a southern accent, and Texas is not really the south. (Even though geographically it is, of course.)

Note that while I go by mellificent or mellicious (or ideally, just Mel) online, don't assume that anybody that you see with those names is necessarily me. One reason I switch back and forth is because often one of them is already taken, so clearly there are other people out there using those names besides me.

In case anybody's wondering about the name, Catchy Name Needed "1.0" was on the late and mostly unlamented Diary-X, so it's long-gone.

And so you can see where my priorities are (sort of):
