Melissa Ruby

I'm a writer,
a photographer,
a journalist,
a poetess...



I love to laugh. I love to make people laugh. I wear my heart on my sleeve. If I’m pissed off, you’ll know it. I used to hate math, but now I really enjoy it. I love to read out loud. If I walk pass a pet store, I have to go in, even if it makes me sad. I’m afraid to pick poppies because they are the California state flower and it is illegal. I hate elevators. I’m afraid of fireworks; not the professional ones, the ones people set off in the street. My sister is the most hilarious person I know. She also does the best Fat Bastard impression you’ll ever see, if you are lucky enough to. My sister means moreto me than she’ll ever know. I love watching the hummingbirds outside my bedroom window as they feed from the flowers. I’m an excellent judge of character. I'm slightly narcoleptic. Moving to Newport Beach was the best decision I have ever made. But moving back home was the second best. I’m very intuitive, I get that from my mother; we always know what the other is thinking. I have a fish named snowy joey. It is the second one I’ve had, with the same name. I like to make collages. I blush furiously when I’m nervous or embarrassed. I’m incredibly ticklish. I love giving journals as gifts and writing little messages in them to make them more personal. writing keeps me sane. I would love to write for Vanity Fair one day. Anna Quindlen is just one of my favorite writers/columnists. Willow is my favorite movie. I think Ed Harris is a sexy older man. I love to visit art galleries and museums by myself. Sex and the City was a revolutionary show for women. I love to wear beanies. I can’t stand the taste of red meat. Music is necessary to life. I have a high school letterman jacket. I love driving over bridges and hate driving under overpasses. I hate getting in the shower, but love to take really long ones. I think MTV should no longer call themselves Music Television, since they hardly ever play music. If I ever move back to SoCal, it’ll be to Long Beach or Santa Monica. I tend to talk a lot, and really fast. I’m stubborn and very proud, I get that from my father. My ethnicity is Irish and Brasilian, with a little bit of other European mixed in. I admit when I am wrong, but I am wrong very rarely :)
