About Amelita Lijek
Born and raised in a Boston suburb, Amelita is heart-breakingly Boston-accent deficient. This deficiency, among many others, has driven her survival instinct to find the humor in all things, even if they are not cat-related. An avid writer, tweeter, and sleep-enthusiast, Amelita can be found regularly cavorting around New York City improving (IM-prah-ving), sketch writing, and seeking out free samples and Wifi (WHY-fy). She also has carefully cultivated Twitter (@aaaamelita) and SoundCloud (soundcloud.com/aaaamelita) accounts, both of which will most likely be cited either as a) her first ventures into a wildly successful comedy career or b) her first ventures into a wild descent into madness or c) a little bit of both.

Like most toddlers, I loved putting things in my mouth. So when I looked at the new decorative owl-shaped candle my mom bought at the farmer’s market, the only protrusion from its ovular shape being a golden-yellow beak, I saw one thing: CHEESE. [ Read More ]

Wait…Do I Believe in Magic?
Shared by | Leave a Comment
I don’t remember a big, heartbreaking fall from innocence, but rather a casual nonchalance about Santa actually being my parents. NBD (No Big Deal), as long as they made with the presents each year! But there was one mystical being with which I couldn’t reconcile, and that was the Tooth Fairy. [ Read More ]
