That was the headline of the article in Sunday’s Arkansas Democrat Gazette…What a headline, right?

We thought so…especially since it was the headline for the story of how I met Fishdog.

Yup, we were in the paper on Sunday. It was awesome. Here’s a link for the whole article.

Here’s a little taste:

“There has always been sort of a six degrees of separation thing between Mark and me,” says Melissa, who went to high school in Bryant and who had friends who knew Mark, a student at Little Rock’s Catholic High School. “Our circle of friends was kind of parallel.”

On the night they finally did meet, Jan. 24, 1992, Melissa was on a date with one guy and was plagued by the unwanted attentions of another.

Mark had graduated from Arkansas State University at Jonesboro the December before and just moved back to Little Rock. He had seen Melissa, a student at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, the night before with her friends at White Water Tavern, but she was having too much fun then to notice him.

When he walked through the door at Juanita’s, though, she was all agog.

“I just remember being very smitten,” Melissa says. “It was his hair — which is really funny, considering he has none now. Back then it was long. He had a confidence about him, and he had a great smile and a great laugh, which I love.”

Heh. He was a guy and I was agog.

The best part of the article? (besides all the cutesy lovey-dovey stuff?) They plugged BITE ME! 🙂 It was really cool seeing myself called a ‘novelist’ and then reading

Her first book, Bite Me!, is scheduled to hit bookstore shelves in fall 2009.

Heheh.
