Melissa's Backdrop What is this?
Why?
Because Jeanne invented it. And it tastes phenomenal.
Why or why not?
Yes, because it's big enough and it revolves around the sun.
No, so I can one day say to my grandkids "When I was your age, Pluto was a planet."
No, so I can one day say to my grandkids "When I was your age, Pluto was a planet."
Why?
Soaring gas prices, living on the Far East side of Orlando and it takes me a half hour drive to get anywhere, and hellooooo, being able to instantly travel anywhere in the WORLD? What's not to love?:)
Why?
I spent hours upon hours climbing this tree, sitting in it, chilling out in the treehouse that my dad built in it, swinging from the rope swing, pretending and living and lying down in its shade. It rained golden leaves in the autumn. I miss that tree.

I'm liking the whole daily update thing you've got going on, Mel!
I have a lineup of songs just waiting to be recorded, but for some reason I'm being anal and wanting to make the recordings perfect and add all kinds of touches...
But I'd expect to see "Pagodas" (the song inspired by your story) up on Backlight by Sunday.

I'm not saying that 'your face' isn't funny. It's frickin hilarious. Just saying I keep expecting more. Come on Reyes.
And just to establish the things that are always funny are:
Your face is...
Your mom...
That's what she said.
And you should meet my mom. She's awesome.

Dear Mel,
"Your face" retort has been used too much. You need to find another one. You are smart and creative. I know you can come up with something else.
Love,
Alecia

Mel, Jeanne doesn't want to be a vampire, she just wants to fall in love with one.
