Profile Information

Where do you live:: Nashville, TN

Relationship Status:: Single

About Me:: I'm a writer at heart, but for now I am looking for full-time work. I run marathons, I laugh, and I try to enjoy life the best I can. My blog is just some of my musings on this thing called life and the way in which it all reminds me of how Life is A Marathon...

Website:: http://melanieblair.blogspot.com

Age:: 26

How long have you been blogging:: Since May 2007

Fill in the blank: "People who like _________ will love my blog!": living life with a smile, running, Nashville, the south

I'm a southern gal through a through, right down to a bit of an accent which people fortunately say makes me sound cute and charming as opposed to a hick. It's true that I drink sweet tea all the time and love fried foods.. like fried okra. Not only that, but I love sweets.

So part of the marathon running (to be perfectly honest) is so that I can eat whatever I want. The biggest part of the marathon running is that I love a challenge, and running marathons gives me a goal to work toward and achieve. It's nice since I'm out fo school and don't have education goals to strive for anymore.

That doesn't mean I won't go back to school someday. For now, I'm happy working full-time, running, and spending time with friends. Ok, and watching LOST every week.

I don't know that I'll stay in Nashville too many more years... sometimes I feel the itch to move to NYC, Chicago, Boston or DC. Or the Pacific Northwest - it's beautiful out there. Feel free to share reasons to try to convince me of why I should pick one city over the other.

I always welcome new friends, and if you're ever in Nashville let me know!

At 8:11pm on June 13, 2008, Brandon said…: Haha, it's fine. I was in a fraternity at UT, and I had a lot of "shady" friends. Where'd you go to school?

At 6:25pm on June 12, 2008, Brandon said…: Yeah, a little over a month ago. I moved here from Knoxville to work for the Governor's office, and since Centennial is right around the corner, I'm usually there after work. I just glanced at your blog, and I've got a Journalism degree as well. I don't know about you being a ShadyPi though, the verdict's out on that one.
