This is blog of a woman who didn't know what she wanted and so chased after dreams and men in search of the answers...drunken hilarity ensued. Then one day she met a man who was everything she wanted, but he wasn't so sure. Then she did the unthinkable; after they broke up she gave him this blog address and she let him into her mind as well as her heart. Unbelievably, even after sorting through the sordid archives of failed relationships, one night stands and her lusty (and embarassing) pursuit to secure the heart of a certain young line cook, John somehow managed to fall in love with her too. Melina and John were married a little over six months after they started dating, running away to Las Vegas to seal the deal. You can imagine what the over/under bet was to see if they'd even make it a year!! Over a year later and they are still going strong...this blog has become their story. Need to tell me something?

So how did you celebrate?
Today was "Talk Like A Pirate Day" what did you do to celebrate? I threw out a couple weak Yarr's and Arrghh's, I didn't quite get into it as I thought I might've.

Last night I received three very drunken phone calls from Todd...does the boy work? Well I can answer that one...he does work but luckily for him he can work from home after he gets all banged up on a random Sunday at the bar watching football. I didn't answer the phone because I was sick and because he could barely form coherent sentences. Actually, that's being kind...I could hardly understand what he was saying. So I figured why bother let him come over when I certainly wouldn't get anything out of it (is that selfish?), plus I wasn't eager to spread my hacking cough to anyone. Makes you wonder where the live in girlfriend is these days doesn't it? Wonder if they broke up again...hmm, one never knows.

Oh a funny aside, but still related because it has to do with Todd...Three weeks ago, Chelle and I ran into Todd and his sidekick at thitwbar. All four of us were so banged up it must've been a riot to listen to our conversations. While Sidekick was trying to seduce Chelle with the ever famous line, "You've got such gorgeous eyes...I could get lost in them." (which is true, she does have gorgeous eyes...but can you say that at a bar without sounding super cheesy?) I was talking with Todd. No clue what we talked about. My favorite part though was when Chelle leaned in to Sidekick (a guy I've known now for three years and has preached to Todd why I'm just not "as good" as the other girl) and said, "Why don't those two just get together? I just love my drunken Chelle, always trying to help a girl out. Although...I'm not sure if it would ever be a good thing if Todd and I ever really got together again. He'd just cheat on me, obviously.

So then two weeks ago he sent me a couple of text messages, I responded but my responses were in drunkenese. He writes me another one, undeterred by my sheer inability to write anything and Chelle intercepts my phone and unbeknownst to me, calls him. I believe she said quite drunkenly, "What do you want?" We don't exactly know what he said in response but I was relieved to see that the convo only last about 25 seconds.

And that my friends was a random posting about Todd. I tried on my dress today for Cr's wedding. It's awesome, I feel gorgeous. I was a little worried because yesterday I attempted to put my dress on and I couldn't zip it up all the way. I tugged...I looked in the mirror and say panic fill my eyes. I couldn't believe it- I've lost weight. Obviously, since I'm not sitting at the bar every night!! Today I called my mom and made her come over all panicky. It was a false alarm, she zipped it right up. It's a little tighter on my boobs than I would've wanted (but then again, it is strapless...so at least I won't have to do the annoying pulll up thing) but as my mom said as she admired me in my dress. "My girl sure is a busty one..." Geez, Ma thanks.

More updates to follow.
