i know i’m rather masculine (yeah right) but i’ve never understood why when i meet people for the first time, they’re surprised that i’m a girl. in uk it’s not as if mel is ever used for guys - however i don’t think that’s the case in the states. so now i’m walking around town with a guy’s name - great! it’s not even as though i can use my full name as i can’t pronounce melanie without sounding stupid and feeling like i’m in trouble with my mum.

to make matters worse, apparently i share my name with a drive in. i wanted to be incredibly touristy and get one of their t-shirts but they all said “why not drive into mel’s?” and i don’t know why but that kind of makes me feel dirty and want a shower…

so no random stories today (if i’m honest i’ve got a bit of a hangover and can’t remember all of the things that have happened - there are quite a few, trust me) but i’m having birthday celebrations tonight, so watch this space!

p.s. thanks to everyone for the birthday wishes, although you may want to take note that by finishing your email telling me i’m now officially old makes me cry, every time, without fail.

p.p.s. not sure if you saw my post where i said that i have the face of an angel, but if you did, i totally revoke that statement as the people at heathrow would appear not to agree - i was searched 3 times on the way out - seriously have you ever heard of anyone using mascara to harm anyone?
