I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

My name is Melissa
I’m from Johnstown, and have lived here in my entire life. However, I would love to move.
I love animals, and have a calico/Siamese cat named Penelope with whom I love to death
I have AIM, please ask me for my s/n, because I’d love to chat and get to know you better. I’m willing to download other instant messengers too, or you can send me a message on here. I want to make as many friends as possible, as I don’t have a lot.
The best places to find me would be on AIM (PM me for my name), doing household chores, playing with my cat, researching, volunteering, advocating, learning, listening to music, watching you tube videos, doing crafts, etc (again, read interests).
I absolutely love learning and education. I think it's extremely important. I love to learn about anything and everything. I am a firm believer in the saying, "knowledge is power." To me education can be very valuable "ticket," especially when "cashed."
I enjoy the simple pleasures of life.
My priorities are conquering the world, and making a better and brighter day for myself, and the people around me.
Remember that everyday is a fight. A fight to live, and a fight to stay healthy, and to stay strong. You will get your chance to find/experience happiness, and you will get your chance to "dance on the sun." It just takes time. I believe in you, and I believe in me!
