# About me
writing/spoken word tumblr
flickr
my name is melissa.
i was born on the cusp of summer and fall in 1992, which feels like it was about twelve years ago - my maturity level reflects this. as a result, i am a poor college student. (if you would like to assist me in this endeavour, feel free to note me about receiving your own handwritten copy of my work and letter!)
i do not like certain words. (anion, anyways (because it's not really a word!), armpit, baked, blastula, breadth, bun, clotted, crusty, cusp, feasible, fondle, frottage, horndog, hospice, lest, mayochup, pusillanimous, refurbished, scalp, smug, sustenance, waft.)
i like quailman and dirty dick dastardly, and i hope you know who they are. i love with more than a love, and i quote things (in this case, edgar allan poe; in others, harry potter, 90s songs, and chuck palahniuk ) off the top of my head because it makes me feel good.
to do list: breathe, laugh, use tumblr less frequently.

This is quite a random question, but in your ID you said you do not like certain words, cusp being one of them, but you used it "i was born on the cusp of summer" ?

Hey, okay, prepare for a really random comment, but I wrote a poem partially inspired by you here . You don't have to look at it, fave it, or anything, just wanted you to know it exists. *Runs away*

Hey there, as part of The Review Project I would like to share with you a review I wrote of you as a writer. I hope you enjoy and thanks for sharing your writing on DA, I love it!
"Melissa's portfolio of work is a revelation, unlike anything else I've read before. With hints of Hemingway, Cummings, Smith and something uniquely new Melissa delivers time after time something original and haunting that is definately unforgettable and brutally true."
