because i feel honored to have made estephania's list ... so here goes

three names you go by: melyssa, lyssa, sweetie (that's only for gorgeous though)

three screennames you have: polkadot57 and ... oh yeah, that's it. i guess i'm not as creative as i thought i was!

three things you like about yourself: my arms, i've been working on them for two years now. the fitness center membership is paying off. my determination and my religious strength.

three things you dislike about yourself: the way i worry about things that are small in relation to the real problems of world. in other words i do sweat the small stuff. my ability to hold a grudge when i know i should let things go sometimes. and my stomach. i wish it had more muscle than fat! :-)

three parts of your heritage: african, hispanic and above all else american!

three things that scare you: failure, disappointing my family and the possibility of going to hell if i don't get this earthly thing right.

three of your everyday essentials: my engagement ring, my contacts and my confidence

three things you are wearing right now: underwear ... wait let me check ... okay underwear, contacts and pjs (i'm going to bed after i finish this)

three of your favorite bands/artists (at the moment): stevie wonder, of course, norman hutchins and joann rosario

three of your favorite songs at present: "isn't she lovely?" "jesus, i love you" and "more, more more"

three new things you want to try in the next 12 months: marriage, writing a thesis and having a career rather than a job

three things you want in a relationship (love is a given): trust, companionship and a mutual love for god

two truths and a lie: (in no particular order): i absolutely hate lying, i have five sisters and when i was in the six grade i ran into a metal bar at recess that left a permanent dent in my forehead.

three physical things about the opposite sex (or same) that appeal to you: back muscles, you know how the shoulders start out broad in the back and made a v-shape at the bottom? whew, is it hot in here?, straight white teeth and honest eyes.

three things you just can’t do: be 100% carefree, not read my bible and harm a child or animal

three of your favorite hobbies: would i sound like a total moron if i said blogging?, writing and music.

three things you want to do really badly right now: finish christmas shopping (had to borrow that one, estephania), finish my graduate degree and finish this questionnaire.

three careers you’re considering: i only have one — motivational speaker. this is what i truly want to be when i grow up. i am making plans to achieve this right now. it will all come together in my mid to late 40s. i will travel the world — motivating other african american girls through speaking!

three places you want to go on vacation: new york (yes gorgeous, i still want to go), billings, montana (b/c that's where gorgeous wants to go) and that area in the u.s. where the four corners meet. i also wouldn't mind going back and visiting italy again.

three kids’ names: i only have two because i'm only planning on having two. so god help us if we have triplets. macey daye and dane channing

three things you want to do before you die: find true love, have children and meet denzel washington. (accomplished one, working on two and who knows about three)

three people you want to take this quiz: melissa, jluv and ontario (if he hasn't already)
