More MellyMay useless facts!
1) the worst sensation in the world is when water drips down from my hands to my elbows. You know, like, when washing your face? ugh.
2) i have an unhealthy love of "My Big Fat American Gypsy Wedding" and am quite fascinated by the Rumney/Rominchal community.
3) I was somewhat of an exchange student to Osaka, Japan when I turned 16/early sophomore year. It was moreso helping with English while staying with a host family and going to their school. SUPER RAD EXPERIENCE and I neeeeeeeeeed to get to Tokyo someday.
4) I battle trichotillomania - a fun type of OCD where I pull my own hair out. You should have seen my brows in 2004. Jeezus. Now it's pretty much limited to me pulling out my lashes when super anxious. And I have pretty long lashes, so....FAIL.
5) I got into several universities out of high school but had my first real depressive mental breakdown, so I ultimately stayed local and went to the community college. I dyed my hair black and cut bangs a la Bettie Page so that people wouldn't recognize me and ask why I didn't go away for school. It worked for about 2 yrs.
6) I hate to be THAT GIRL, but I was quite popular in high school. (I swear that those aren't "the best years of my life" or anything.) Class president 4 yrs running, French Club member, debate club member, Leadership Team Representative, I even joined the Islamic Open forum & did Ramadan because I wanted to learn more.... JV cheer co captain as a freshman, Varsity team soph thru sr. year, varsity cheer captain sr year. Team went to nationals all 3 yrs I was on it. A summer of swim team. Friends in all the various silly cliques. Oh gawd. Now I'm just a burnout pothead, lol.
7) I had to get a training bra at 8 yrs old, and have been wearing a bra in close to my current size since 11/5th grade.

For the last 3 years I worked for the best company EVER (socially conscious, caring about employees & very supportive of wellness & womens' issues) but essentially, I sold clothes to old rich women. I am bad at clothing retail...and I have no fucking clue what a 57 year old woman wants to wear. I did find out that the biggest request is something to cover the arms.
9) My brother was born at 5 months & spent the first year of his life in an incubator and multiple surgeries. He has physical and academic struggles that I can't even fathom.
10) The Tupac hologram at Coachella 2012 during the Snoop & Dre performance really was the coolest sight to see. Really. Laugh at me if you must.
