A bit about Melissa...

Have you ever voted for President? For American Idol?
I voted for the very first time this November, and I'm pretty sure I begged my mom to let me vote for Kelly Clarkson when I was twelve but I never did. Apparently she didn't need my help.
Favorite look on a guy:
I'm a Scruff McGruff kinda girl myself. I don't know what it is about a five o'clock shadow that just makes me melt. I also love it when guys wear shirts and ties with distressed jeans. Business casual is key. And he's GOT to be tall. I'm pushing six foot in heels and I need a man who can stand tall next to that.
Favorite position. For sitting:
Indian style. No question. I feel like anyone who knows me knows that I'm always sitting cross-legged. My best friend drives stick and when she first got her car I was constantly banging my knee into the gear shifter knob thingy and knocking her out of gear.
Was there ever a nerdy/geeky/smart kid in high school you thought was kind of cute but never told him?
I went to an all-girls high school but I had the biggest crush on my environmental science teacher junior year. I wanted him to classify my species ifffff you know what I mean.
Definitely or definately?
Ugh. Definitely. There are few things in this world that turn me off more than poor grammar and spelling. I don't understand how a good handful of people I meet have yet to conquer proper usage of the simplest words. It makes my brain hurt.
How much money is in your savings account?
$1.83. I'm obviously saving up for something good? I just had to check Citibank online to see if I had ANY money in there.
Would you ever ask a guy out?
I have, actually. Sometimes guys need a little help in the "words" department, so I have to help them along. I'd definitely say that I would rather be asked out than do the asking because I like to know the guy is interested before I have to break out the old song and dance.
Weirdest dream:
I had a dream once that my dorm was this huge beautiful building that was on the edge of a jungle near the water, and in the middle of the night these sirens went off and helicopters were all over the place looking for something. Turns out it was a bunch of renegade T-Rex's and they chased us all over the place for the rest of my dream. Right before I woke up I remember being in a lab where my friend was explaining to me how he figured out how to turn a McGriddle into a delicious cereal. All the while I was trying to explain that there were carnivorous dinosaurs out for our blood.
Worst/best Truth or Dare?
The day after my boyfriend told me he cheated on me (on my prom night, no less!), my friend dared me to go to his house and punch him in the face. Immature? Maybe. But either way we took the ten minute drive to his house and I woke him from his peaceful slumber to land a few left hooks in his mug. Definitely worth the drive and the effort.
Can you unwrap a Starburst with your tongue?
Baja California Starbursts have been a regular part of my diet for as long as I can remember, so Starbursts I can do. Cherry stems, however, are not my forte.
