One-Word Sarcomical Sunday #17: More About Us Than We Ever Wanted to Know

On this week's One-Word Sarcomical Sunday, I'm digging deeper. Deeper into some of the more mundane/self-conscious/unattractive things that you weren't quite sure you'd ever really decide to share with The Internet. Why? Because those are the things all of us really want to know about each other anyway, yes? It makes us feel proportionally less mundane/self-conscious/unattractive in a larger company of the same. Isn't online community grand?

*Okay, here are the Newbie Ground Rules:

  1. After reading my answers, copy and paste the list into your comment.
  2. Change my one-word responses with yours (yes, only ONE WORD, even if it makes you want to pull your brains through your tear duct - and I design the statements to make it possible if you're clever enough, which of COURSE you are).
  3. Submit your comment.
  4. And hey, you can always post your finished list on your blog, too. (Yes, a post idea! You're welcome.) Link back here if you're feeling nice. Enjoy!

Half-Week Haiku 47: Rear View Reflection & Your Week-Ago Self

What would you like to go back and tell your Week-Ago Self? Would you warn yourself about something? Advise yourself to make a different decision? Tell yourself to make more of an effort to make a certain someone smile? Scold yourself for that shoe choice with that outfit? Slap down the 5-7-5 and tell us all about it. I'll go first:

if i had the chance

Hi, I'm Melissa...



  • I'm a photographer and lover of Words. I'm typically caffeinated as a rule, but sometimes the yoga helps bring my shoulders back below ear level. I am every day challenging the long-standing habit of getting in my own way.

    I embrace my inner geek (see: Star Trek Voyager) and accept my irrational fears (see: feet, rug bugs, outer space). I figure they balance out my super cool musical tastes and very long legs. I strive to balance wit and wisdom (sarcastic brain, meet idealist heart).

    Be unafraid to let life unfold in the biggest way possible.
