About Me

Myspace Layouts - Myspace Editor - Image Hosting

Someone once said "Life is a journey, not a destination...." my family tends to grab onto this and run. By the age of 13 I had moved 8 times across 3 states in America and then across the world to Australia. Since then I have moved 7 times and will soon be moving again. These have helped define the person I am at this moment and the person I will become eventually. I am outgoing to the point that people feel like they are a close friend after a short time - this is a trait I had to develop - I moved to a country where I knew no one and had nothing and it was my job to change that... I am blessed with some wonderful friends and a wonderful family - they say you can't choose your family but given the choice I wouldn't change them for anything.... I am working at changing the pieces of my life that I am not happy with - a journey that will take a while.... I have no idea what I want to be if/when I grow up but I am working through figuring that out! I have done 2 years of a psychology degree but felt that many of my traits would not be suitable for that profession - ie the fact that I cry at the news and would have a difficult leaving my work behind... I am still intrigues by this industry and will probably end up in some kind of human services role eventually.....I love animals and will not stand any cruelty towards them, if I see a stray or injured animal I will pick it up... I have many different passions; I played an instrument for 11 years, love art especially that which enthralls you in a moment, I enjoy writing and will put pieces in my blog so feel free to leave feedback - I am always looking for constructive criticism, I read constantly I love books that I can't put down - my current favorite is a series by Stephanie Meyers - Twilight, New Moon and Eclipse - it is a vampire series and is beautifully written... I enjoy the outdoors - love the beach especially any time of the year... I have a strong personality and will hold onto my beliefs - this does not mean that I will not listen to others opinions more that I will voice my own as well, i enjoy learning new things.. I do forgive too easily often but as they say fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me... My past experiences have shaped me and as with everyone I am slightly damaged and bruised - but I am healing... If i can not change my life I tend to change something about myself, my hair colour, a piercing, a tattoo (I have 4 each symbolising an event that has impacted me in my life - the first is a symbol of courage for when my sister moved from home) or even my look in general... I love to laugh and have fun and I will be the one playing with the kids at the party because they know how to have fun! I can take things personally way too personally - something I am working at changing - Its not all about me :P - I am Mel not Melanie - only my mom calls me that when she is pissed off! Each one of my friends has a different nick name for me - smelly, melly, tart, slapper, boobs, mellie moo, scooter, stinky - fairly long list but mel will suffice

My Interests

Shopping - my current obsession is ebay - god help me - but i love buying things for people - I also love dancing (So you think you can dance is the best) Would love to get back into latin dancing of some kind - but I am always on the dance floor when out and about.. I like to have fun - to spend time with my friends and my family - I love cooking, I love eating and I love being busy, lazy nights on the couch (now that I have one big enough for 2 people) and meeting new people... I love dressing up, dressing down, dying my hair, and traveling....

I'd like to meet:

I am looking to meet all sorts of new people - I feel that each person you meet has some impact on your life both positive and negative and the more people you meet the more you can grow. If I add you it is because I have a genuine interest in getting to know you as a person - not because I want more friends - and if you add me please make sure its for the same reason. My msn is [email protected] - feel free to add me there as well

Music:

I love Music - good music, music that makes you feel and makes you relate - the test of a song to me is whether you get that feeling where all the hairs on the back of your neck stand up... I have no specific genre that I limit myself too - if it is "good" then I don't mind where it sits on the "type" scale - music tends to make me feel emotions and it also tends to have specific events attached to certain songs.... And for my friends specific songs make them think of me :) I can NOT sing but I love to - I sing in the car all the time and will listen to music all day at work. It is something I can't live without!

Movies:

If i go to the movies I usually choose a girlie flick - but I rarely actually get to see that - mostly its action and comedies!

Books:

I love to read - I love stories that just capture you and make you feel as if you are there - given the choice I would probably choose reading over a movie - I love anything good - and sometimes anything a little trashy and light depending on what kind of story I have just finished.. I love to learn and will also read books on different cultures, religions, lifestyles and also educational books...

Heroes:

My friends and my family - who have met more challenges then people should have to - and who have come out the other side better and more beautiful people.....
