I imagine this will get longer as time goes by. For now, I suppose just a short summary will suffice.

Basically, I am creating this blog because:

1) I am too lazy to actually design a full website, so WordPress is quick and simple.

2) I like to talk about myself, because I am extremely vain.

3) I am irritated about the events of today and want a place to vent that isn’t MySpace.

4) I am currently obsessed with Bowflexes and want to talk about them incessantly. Unfortunately, people are sick of hearing me talk about Bowflexes incessantly, so I need to blog about them instead.

And now for a bit more about me! My name is Melissa (Missy) Barry and I currently live in Scottsdale, Arizona. At the time of writing this, I am 24-years-old (August 3, 1983) and seemingly obsessed with overusing commas. I have a wonderful husband, Dan, and two gorgeous children (no really, it’s not just my mom sense, they’re gorgeous). I do not work, and haven’t worked since a few months into my pregnancy with my first child (the wonderfully monstrous Anastasia, aka Anya).

Before I became a lazy house bum I was in the military, undergoing training as a 97E. Basically, I was at the Defense Language Institute in California learning to speak Korean. And no, I don’t speak a word of Korean — I have magically managed to forget everything that I learned.

Hubby and I spent the next few years in Augusta, GA. We overcame tons of marital problems (mainly due to isolation and being dirt poor) and here we are in Arizona, basically living with my parents. Whee. And we do have our own kitchen, living room, etc. So it isn’t that bad. Aside from surprise drop-ins. Oh well, can’t complain about free.

I am an obsessive compulsive, addictive personality disorder crazy lady. Never officially diagnosed, but I’m sure I’m crazy ^_^ I am completely hobbyless, unless you consider playing countless hours of Everquest 2 as a hobby. Before I began playing countless hours of Everquest 2, I played countless hours of Everquest. Even though I haven’t played EQ since January of 2006, I still reminisce about it frequently and will probably spend the rest of my life thinking about the “good old days” of being an uber raid cleric and class leader.

This seems like a pretty poor way to sum things up, but I’m afraid I can’t think of much more to say about myself at the moment. Perhaps I will add more later.
