About Me

i'm melissa.
i started Sarcomical in 2004. it's safe to say that (thank God) i've changed in massive degrees in some ways from when i began. for this reason, when i gave this place a facelift here in good old April 2009, i made the (unexpectedly difficult) decision to go ahead and click that mouse button and deleted everything prior to six months ago (oh, relax, they're still alive in a secure location), aside from a couple of recurring-series categories. i know, right? it was scary to see it all go away. but also? a bit freeing. i wanted not only a new look, but a CLEAN SLATE type of feeling as i said goodbye to some really difficult things from some of those days as well. this also cleared away some of my prior fabulously funny and/or utter depressive genius (heh) of course, but don't worry! if you're new here, you'll still get to find out as much as my old friends, when i put up Vintage Sarcomical posts on a semi-regular basis. you'll get the good stuff. *wink* but as of THIS MOMENT, i start a new journey here. ooh. that sounds deep. ish.

i love watching movies that make my heart ache, savoring melancholy and holding my solitary moments dear. but of course i also love to laugh and revel in the moment. i have an affection for I Love Lucy episodes and as a child was enamored with Bob Hope and Carol Burnett. my mother always said she found it frustrating that i'd roll on the floor laughing at their jokes but then matter-of-factly admit ignorance when asked if i had any idea what i was laughing at.

i feel things so very deeply. but then conveniently tuck away in the corners of my head those that trouble me until i feel up to processing them.

i can be a tad sarcastic. i can't help it, it's natural. i also like to make people laugh. that's how Sarcomical was named.

i currently have 3 mental-terrorist dogs and 1 arrogant cat. i also have a TALL, funny tech-geek husband of almost 11 years who can appreciate a well-placed "that's what she said" as well as make me a kick-ass breakfast. so far we have no fur-less children, but i have to say that after a long time of peace and happiness with that situation, these next couple of years could be very interesting as we begin to deal with what may be a slightly difficult road toward changing that path. we'll be okay until the time comes, but when it does, i'm pretty sure we'll rock it.

i can't stand close-minded people. i'm a night person. i hate the word 'mucus'. i must have some sort of depth perception issue, as i am constantly bumping into walls, desks, tables, couches, and doors when i leave and enter rooms. i also trip sometimes when walking and going up (yes, up) and down stairs. people who don't put their carts away in the parking lot annoy me. i have to take a deep breath and brace myself before going on a down escalator. i can sleep through almost anything, but i hate taking naps. feet are disgusting, i don't care who you are (unless you're under 2 years old) - don't touch me with your feet.

below are some of my favorite things followed by some of the movies i love and cannot be your friend if you don't agree (well i might make an exception, for YOU):
