Fair warning, fan club: I’m about to start self-hosting this blog using wordpress.org. This means that you’ll be able to find me using melissalion.com, but not that address you see in the little rectangle right now. What? It’s been a year and I’ve had sufficient time to fully hate my blogging platform and now I [...]

New Seasons, Again

I know, it’s another New Seasons post. I know. I blog about New Seasons all the time. Because I have a love/ hate relationship with that stupid store.

Leaving Hawaii today. It’s sad, I’m sad. But there you are. Back to the most depressing city in America.
But go over to the Back Fence website and check out some stories from the last event, would you?

Yesterday My 18 Year-Old Brother Saved My Life

No kidding.
First let me tell you something about where I am. I’m in Hawaii, yes. But not the Hawaii you’re thinking of. We’re on the Big Island and my parents live at an altitude of about 2000 feet. And they’re on the side of a volcano. So it’s cold where they are. Very cold. Right [...]
