Hannah sent me one of those very long, very random memes the intertubes are full of, so since I blog more than I email, I figured I’d answer it here. It was a fun one. But long.<\/p>\n
1. WERE YOU NAMED AFTER ANYONE?
\n“Melia”- which is my middle name – is a sort of family thing. My grandmother named her firstborn Diane Melia who sadly died in childbirth, so mom passed the name on to me, and I passed it on to my daughter as a middle name as well.<\/p>\n
2. WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU CRIED?
\nI often feel on the verge of tears. Does that count?<\/p>\n
3. DO YOU LIKE YOUR HANDWRITING
\nNope. Hate it.<\/p>\n
4. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE LUNCH MEAT?
\nI don’t do lunch meat.<\/p>\n
5. DO YOU HAVE KIDS?
\nYes, a daughter.<\/p>\n
6. IF YOU WERE ANOTHER PERSON WOULD YOU BE FRIENDS WITH YOU?
\nDefinitely. I’m very cool.<\/p>\n
7. DO YOU USE SARCASM A LOT?
\nNo. Never. No really. Never.<\/p>\n
8. DO YOU STILL HAVE YOUR TONSILS
\nNo. Had them yanked when I was 16.<\/p>\n

10. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE CEREAL?
\nBanana Nut Crunch or Rice Chex.<\/p>\n
11. DO YOU UNTIE YOUR SHOES WHEN YOU TAKE THEM OFF?
\nWhat an odd notion. People actually untie their shoes when they remove them?<\/p>\n
12. DO YOU THINK YOU ARE STRONG?
\nYes. Have to be.<\/p>\n
13. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE ICE CREAM?
\nAt Benihana’s in Chicago they served strawberry ice cream and hot green tea for dessert, and when I put those together, I thought I was going to have an orgasm at the table it was so good. So I’m a strawberry girl.<\/p>\n
14. WHAT IS THE FIRST THING YOU NOTICE ABOUT PEOPLE?
\nWhether they will look me in the eye when talking to me. Whether they are actually listening or just waiting for their turn to speak. I can always tell. If we’re going for something physically attractive to me, it’s hands. I like hands.<\/p>\n
15. RED OR PINK?
\nRed red red.<\/p>\n
16. WHAT IS THE LEAST FAVORITE THING ABOUT YOURSELF?
\nMy shyness. It’s hard for me to talk to people sometimes. I’ve gotten better at idle chitchat, but I find if someone intimidates me, I get tongue-tied and I stammer, and I say very dumb things.<\/p>\n
17. WHO DO YOU MISS THE MOST?,
\nWell, among people I love who are alive and say my baby sister Kelly, whom I don’t get to see often enough. Otherwise, I miss my mother the most.<\/p>\n

19. WHAT COLOR PANTS AND SHOES ARE YOU WEARING?
\nGot my baggy jeans on and I’m barefoot. I try to be barefoot as much as possible because I don’t like wearing shoes.<\/p>\n

\nFlesh<\/p>\n

\nIt’s ummm, brown-ish right now. A sort of dark chocolatey. Trying to get away from my usual red red. I think I’ve outgrown that.<\/p>\n

\nScary movies fo sho.<\/p>\n
32. LAST MOVIE YOU WATCHED?
\nHeh, it was “Hitler: Rise of Evil” starring Robert Carlyle. It was a CBS miniseries a few years ago and I thought it was really good. I recently saw it was finally out on DVD, so I Netflixed it. So that’s why I was watching a Hitler movie.<\/p>\n
33. WHAT COLOR SHIRT ARE YOU WEARING?
\nUhhh, red tank top. My chillin’ the most loungewear of choice.<\/p>\n
34. SUMMER OR WINTER?
\nWinter I suppose, only because I don’t function well in Nebraska heat and humidity, but I don’t like deep winter either. I prefer Fall most of all.<\/p>\n
35. HUGS OR KISSES?
\nDepends on who you’re getting them from \ud83d\ude42 Oh I have to pick one? I can’t just be cute? Damn. Ok, I love hugs. Nothing beats a good bear hug. Though, you know a damn good snog is quite nice. But you probably don’t want one of those from your dad or something. So my original answer stands. Good friends\/relatives – Warm and fuzzy bear hugs. A significant other – Damn good snog.<\/p>\n
