Full Name:  Melissa Jo Puzio.  I wanted my middle name to be Alexandra, but alas,  I was too young to protest at the time. As a compromise, I took it as my confirmation name.

Birthday:  April 13, 1974.  I guess when I turn 40, I better remove the year.  Of course, by then, I'll probably have a whole new web page!!!

Sign:  Aries III, the Pioneer.  Just like TJ (Thomas Jefferson, for the uninformed).

Religion:  Technically Catholic, but almost Agnostic.  I believe there is a God, but I'm not sure of the rest of all that crap.  (To the overly sensitive, crap is used as a slang term, just like stuff.  It is not to say that all organized religion and its history is comparative to a pile of feces!  Then again, that is debatable :D)

Hometown:  Pittsburgh, PA, The City of Champions!!! Whoo Hoo!!  Here we go Steelers......Here we go!!

Occupation:  Employed whenever my temp agencies give me an assignment.

Likes,  Interests and all that good stuff:  Hard Rock/Heavy Metal, Classic R&B music.   Watching hockey, football, wrestling and baseball.  Working out by ice skating, light weights, fitness boxing.  Web page design, surfing the net, chat rooms.  Chinese Chicken & Broccoli, bloody rare steaks, Pilsner Urquell, Stolichnaya, Raspberry Mochachinos from Borders Bookstore Cafe.  Anything chocolate!!! (Especially Godiva Raspberry Starfish)  Reading vampire stories and other tales of the supernatural.

Fave TV shows:  Forever Knight, La Femme Nikita, the Simpsons, King of the Hill, ER, Chicago Hope, Frasier, Beavis and Butthead.  Reruns of Welcome Back Kotter, Married with Children, All in the Family, Sanford and Son, the Golden Girls.

Dislikes and (sometimes) hatreds:  Conservative Republican politicians,<I said conservative....I am not completely opposed to the Republican Party> Rush Limbaugh, Lima Beans, Liver, when my computer freezes up, bigots,   When my internet connection burps in the middle of a live chat.  Whacking my knee on the coffee table in the family room, which seems to happen every other day.  Bright, hot sunny days (Yes, I am a fair skinned redhead).  Mornings without coffee or Jolt.  The Philadelphia Flyers.  The New York Yankees with George Steinbrenner.

Look out Loretta, it's my obessions: Roy  Dupuis, Nunkies (What we NA'ers call Lucien LaCroix on FK), Big Sexy Kevin Nash, Jaromir Jagr goals, Darius Kasparaitis body checks.   Just about anything that has to do with the Penguins or the Steelers.
