I am here for Friends

About Me


My name's Melissa, but a lot of people call me Lissa. I'm 26. I was born in RI, raised and lived most of my life in Massachusetts. I now live in NorCal in southern Lake County, a nice place called Cobb Mountain, just north of Napa. But I spend lots of my time in Lakeport, the hub of Lake County. It's beautiful here! I love the outdoors, hiking and camping, hanging out at the coast. I do miss living between Providence and Boston a little, especially the music scene. But I didn't mind trading my partying ways for relaxing, peaceful nature days. I am a martial artist, training in Tang Soo Do; my rank is 3th Gup, which means I have a red belt. I like piercings(have 10 across my body)and tattoos (just 2-for now). Rich from Inflicting Ink in Portsmouth, RI and Jef at Rockstar Body Piercing in Providence, RI are the people I trust with needles poking my body. I am also a snowboarder, been riding 5 or so years, and I LOVE IT! I also have a new love, riding a motorcycle! Wow, it's a lot of fun! I also like traveling, music, and loving my guy, Jesse, who recently proposed to me and of course I said YES! I'm pretty quiet until I get to know someone a bit better, but I'm usually a pretty chill person, I just like to have a decent time.
I have several topics of interest on my mind.
I support a green lifestyle and way of thinking.
I want to see solutions to climate change/global warming.
I feel our government is not properly focused on important issues such as global warming, renewable and cleaner resources, better healthcare, smarter education.
I feel our government focuses too much on the war on drugs, war on terror, war, war, war.
I support our troops; I do NOT support war. War is the worst thing for the health of our planet.
I support the growing of hemp as a smart, renewable, multifunctional resource.
I support medicinal cannibus for it's many known positive health benefits, and am saddened by the information forcefed into us to make us thinks it's a 'bad drug'.
I feel there aren't enough wise questions being asked in the world today.

My Interests

Tattoos; piercings; motorcycle riding (Harley and Buell), SNOWBOARDING!!! (WooooHoooooo!); Tang Soo Do (Korean Martial Arts form); metal music and lots of other music, but metal is my favorite, live music; traveling; singing; Amy Brown artwork; a little bit of gaming on the Wii, a little PS3 (but I'm not much of a gamer), cards & the occasional board game; pouring through Allrecipes.com and cooking; hiking; camping; traveling; touristy stuff; saving the planet, getting a clue.

Your Dosha is Pitta
You have a quick mind, a gift for persuasion, and a sharp sense of humor.
You have both the drive and people skills to be a very successful leader.
Argumentative and a bit stubborn, you have been known to be a little too set in your ways.
But while you may be biased toward your own point of view, you are always honest, fair, and ethical.

With friends: You are outgoing and open to anyone who might want to talk to you

In love: You are picky but passionate

To achieve more balance: Be less judgmental of those around you, and take cool walks in the moonlight. What's Your Dosha?

.. ..

I'd like to meet:

.. .. ...whoever it is that I meet along my way.

If you don't know me but know who I am, or go/went to school with me, say HI, I'd love to talk to people I haven't seen in forever! Or if you have no clue who I am and just wanna say hi, well I guess that's cool too ;)

I do not approve adds of people who I have no idea who they are or I have never seen or spoken to in my entire life. Have the courtesy to msg me and let me know why a stranger such as yourself wants an add, or you won't get it. What's the point of collecting "friends" who you have never even spoken to in your life?
Also, I will not add any guys who just want to hook up. If you read my page, you will notice that I AM ENGAGED, and will BE MARRYING HIM IN 2009. I AM NOT HERE FOR DATING. If you want to be FRIENDS because we have common ground, that's awesome, but you have zero chance of getting me to leave my fiance for you. I'm telling you like it is right now. So no more pissy messages because I won't give you my number. Or better yet, just leave me alone.

In a Past Life...
You Were: A Famous Herbalist.

Where You Lived: France.

How You Died: Natural causes. Who Were You In a Past Life?

Music:

I like it hard, loud, heavy, double bass drums, industrial, goth, some electronic, sometimes classic rock, sometimes groovy, but mostly METAL!!! Props to New England metal! I miss the music scene in Boston and Providence! Good times!

Movies:



What's with all the stupid, stupid comedies? I like to laugh, but they're getting so far-fetched it's pathetic. I like a little bit from every genre, I suppose. I like psychological thrillers, and horror movies that aren't wicked cheesy-if you can find one. Here's a few worth watching...

Television:

I don't watch television. TV RUINS YOUR MIND!!! Brainwashing! Go exercise or get a hobby. Or both. Look at me, I'm a snowboarding, hiking, karate kicking biker chick!
Wanna watch something? WATCH THIS! This video may blow your mind! It may shock you. It may offend you. Please do not direct any distaste towards me if you don't like it. Watch it with an open mind. Research what interests you, drawer your own conclusions. It is meant to explore possibilities, and that is what I ask; that you consider and keep and open mind to possibilities. Think about it.

You are an Atheist
When it comes to religion, you're a non-believer (simple as that). You prefer to think about what's known and proven. You don't need religion to solve life's problems. Instead, you tend to work things out with logic and philosophy. What's Your Religious Philosophy?

Books:


Alice's Adventures In Wonderland & Through The Looking Glass And What Alice Saw -Lewis Carroll ~My Favorite books ever.
Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles, but I lost interest in the 4th or 5th book.
Fast Food Nation. The book is WAAAAAAAY better than the movie.
Which Tarot Card Are You?
brought to you by Quizilla
You are the Sun card. The light of the Sun reveals
all. The Sun is joyful and bright, without fear
or reservation. The childish nature of the Sun
allows you to play and feel free. Exploration
can truly take place in the light of day when
nothing is hidden. The Sun's rays fill you with
energy so that you may live life to its
fullest, milking pleasure out of each day. Such
joy and energy can bring wealth and physical
pleasure. To shine in the light of day is to
have confidence, to soak up its rays is to feel
the freedom of a child. Image from: Stevee
