I've finally had the extreme pleasure of meeting Alloy's own Melissa Jordan! She drove up to visit us on Sunday & her trip was jam packed with adventure before she even got here, though I'll leave the hair-raising details for her to divulge if she wishes. Suffice it to say that after what she'd been though... by the time she got here, she didn't even bat an eye at the terrible construction in our street - in which all the gas and sewer lines were just redone, everything still needs to be filled in & repaved, and it's making my neighborhood look like something out of a Mad Max movie. I can't tell you all how thrilled I am that I've finally gotten to meet her. She's such a brilliant, lovely, honest and personable individual whom I felt so at ease with, it was as if we'd known each other our whole lives. And the ferrets fell in love with her instantly! Best of all, even though I had to put enough migraine meds in me to bring down a herd of wildebeest that morning, Melissa didn't make fun of my (probably considerable) residual dopeyness one little bit, which in my book is definitely the mark of a true friend :) So once again, to Melissa, thank you so much for taking the time and for going through so much for the sake of visiting us. It's always wonderful to meet someone as intelligent and gracious as you are. I'm already looking forward to next time!

I love the 'ultrastar' one - that smile!! Robin T ------------------------------ End of alloy-digest V5 #166 ***************************
