We’ll just skip right over the part where my mother has her own personal myspace page, and go straight to what she wrote about me:
Melinda - “eldest”, as she likes to say. Free-spirited, spontaneous, adventurous, beautiful … Falls in love too easily, but has a big heart and a giving spirit! Dare I say “available”?
I guess it’s better than the time when she noticed I changed my dating profile to “bisexual” (for the record, I also decided my location to be Hungary). She commented, asking if she should add “lesbian” to the next family update.

Not trying to be mean here, but that’s the cutest thing I’ve ever read.

LOL why would that comment be mean?
But yeah, she missed the section titled “Walking Contradiction.”

No, no, no, it’s just that my last few comments I believe I was accused of being in a bad mood or the like…I need some lessons in converting my facetiousness to prose, I suppose. Sorry for the unfortunate rhyme…meh!
Curious though, would you agree with the “falls in love too easily” comment though? I’ll go out on a limb and say I’m completely the opposite, and it’s a bitch.

Yes, Patrick, I am completely guilty of falling too fast and/or easily.
I’m just not afraid to keep putting myself out there — heart and all. Even if it does mean being potentially hurt (again).
I think the good stuff is all worth what may/may not happen.
