Okay, first off, I should probably tell you that I wasn't born ITSB. *lmao* Nope, I was born without a name! *l* (Aren't we all? *l*) I stayed that way for three or four days while my parents argued about what to name me. *l* See, the ultrasounds all said that I was a guy! *l* (I was scheduled to be Donald Thomas Allen II! But now my little bro is. *l*) But I have proof that I am not. *l* Anyway, eventually, my parents decided to name me Marlea Melissa, after my great-aunt Marlieo Melissa. (My grandma on my dad's side had them change the spelling, but it is still pronounced the same- mar LEE uh.) And my last name is Allen. *l* So that makes me Marlea Melissa Allen, born July 16th, 1982.
Hmmm, I would tell you what my personality is like, but I don't think that I could do it adequately. I think the best way to find out about someone is to actually meet them, so come into Joe's and meet me sometime, I am in there practically all day. Or even just sit back and watch me act like a nut. *l* It doesn't really matter. And if you have any questions, just ask me or email me and I will tell you to the best of my ability! *g*
I would also tell you about how I look, *l* but you will probably picture me all wrong, so I will just make you go to my pics page and see. *l*
Hmmmmm, it is so difficult to tell people about yourself! *l* So I will do something odd. There have been emails going around with a bunch of inane questions on them, and you delete the answers of the person who sent it to you, and put in your own and send it back to them and send a copy to everyone you know. So here it is!

Best advice: *l* Yeah, like it could be fit here! *l* Actually, shortest and best thing I could say......Listen. Don't talk so much and just listen. You'd be amazed at what you can pick up on and who you can help if you just shut your trap for a few minutes.
Important lessons I've learned: (Are we having deja vu here?? *lmao*) *l* You learn more by sitting back and listening than by speaking... Be careful what you wish for... Never ask a question to which you do not want the answer.

Guys, with or without hats? Depends on guy, hat, situation, and his haircut, but mostly without.
Girls, with or without nail polish? Depends on her, her nails, the situation, and the polish. *l* I used to wear it alot, but since I'm not allowed to wear it at work, I have pretty much given up on it. *l*
Memory I miss the most: There are a lot of things that I miss that I can't put here, but how can I miss a memory? If I don't remember it, then I don't know I have it, and if i don't know about it, then I remain ignorant of missing it, and so I can't miss any memories. *l*

Favorite concert that I've been to: *l* Haven't been to many concerts. Ummm, the alternative DC Talk concert I went to a while back was rather kickin'. *l*
In the car, AC or open windows? If I have my hair in a pony tail and it isn't that hot, open windows. But since I have really long, really curly hair, and I hate hot weather, I don't like the windows down often. *l* I hate tangled hair, and that's what happens.
Do I believe in myself? Yep! *bas*

Drinks, with or without ice cubes? Without, mostly, except water.
Worst feeling in the world: Knowing that you have hurt someone terribly and there is nothing you can do about it. Knowing that someone you care for a lot is in trouble or hurting, and there is nothing that you can do about it. Finding out the answers to questions you didn't ask and didn't even want to know about, and from there finding out things you really didn't want to know. *sigh* It isn't fun.
Best feeling in the world: Knowing that you have truly helped someone, or made something a bit easier for them. *g*

Where would I like to be in ten years: Hmmm, maybe finishing up a good bit of college (if I decide to be the scientist chica that my parents think would be just great), or getting settled into my job (if I actually pick a conventional job, which is unlikely), possibly with someone (i hope i hope), considering when we're getting married (*shrugs* not until I have finished college, though, because my 'rents will not help pay for college if I am married, and I can understand that), or maybe something I haven't thought of. *l*
If I could shave one thing into my head, what would it be? IF I were to shave my head, and this is a never ever gonna do it kinda thing, then maybe I would get a smiley face.....or "Hi!" or something cute like that. *l*
If I was going to dye my hair a funky color, what would it be? Okay, first off, I am NOT going to dye my hair a weird color. *l* BUT, if I were to do it, maybe bright blue or blue-green?? *l*
What is my favorite Mentos commercial? The one where the girl gets trapped in her parking space and has some construction workers lift her car out onto the road. *l* But I think all of the Mentos commercials are stupid. *l*
