About Me

Watch the following clip. Especially for the monologue at the end. This clip pretty much defines the way I live my life, well minus trying to be a total dork and take a freakin' fastball to the head, haha - I'll leave that to my male friends :P
I live my life at 453% :)
Hi, there! My name is Melissa, but most people call me Mel. I am a 23 year old full time worker/student/friend/dork and music and all it's forms and different genres are what make up my life :)
I would say there is both a yin and yang to my personality. I could be equally happy to go out to a punk show and mosh it up, or go out to a club and dance to hip hop. I love the poetry of Pablo Neruda, but also enjoy comedy shows a la Daily Show & anything with Dane Cook. I am loud, quiet, shy, friendly, wild, conservative, vulgar, sweet, smart, silly, lazy, driven, and a damsel - but not in distress.
I have a long list of weird fears - clowns, birds, bugs, squirrels to name a few, but I am not afraid of following my dreams or my heart.
I work a 9 to 5er in a super busy office and attend school full time (majoring in business, woot woot!), so when the weekend rolls around I like to have fun and go out with friends :)
I am a super duper affectionate person and love giving and receiving hugs. I have some of the best friends a girl could ask for but there's always room for new friends :)
It's the smallest things in life that give me joy, like 25 cent jewelry, smiles and laughter, or my Hello Kitty doll I bought for a dollar :)
I am a total dork and try not to let the negative opinions of others influence how I feel about myself or how I live my life. I am open-minded and willing to learn about new things and people. Learning is something I'm passionate about and one of the things I love. Some other things on Mel's love list are: COFFEE (it's my obsession! haha), 80s music (well actually most music for that matter), dancing to hip hop/rap or ska, smiles/hugs/cuddles/kisses on the forehead/affection of any sort, my aqua colored penguin (his name is Jeffrey :) I ♥ Jeffrey), shiny/sparkly anythings, ♥, discovering new music/people, learning, striped/plaid/checkered/polka dotted clothing, bright colors, orange chicken, poetry, love songs sung in Spanish, 25 cent jewelry, movies so bad that they are good, tasty lipgloss, math (especially statistics! I am a former math nerd ;D), good friends, Gilmore Girls, and anything silly or fun :).
I'm a little bit of everything all mixed into one, so why don't you send me a message already and find out what I'm all about? :)

I'd like to meet:

Any of the following: Happy people. People who can make me laugh so hard I wet myself. Dorks/Nerds/Geeks. People who wear glasses. Other coffee addicts. People who like to talk...A LOT. People who just don't give a fuck what others think. People who still listen to Milli Vanilli and think they're the shiznit. Lovers of loving love. People who consider themeselves awesomely awesome, radically rad or totally tubular.

Those are the kind of kids I dig :)

These kids:

I would like to meet these guys in this life or the afterlife :) :

Also anyone super nice and can accept an individual for who they are. Those kind of people are the best.

Music:

punk, ska, reggae, power ballads, songs with really really good lyrics, good soundtracks, 80s love songs (and some new love songs as well), Al Green, Otis Redding, oldies, metal, reggaeton, rock en espanol, rockabilly, one-hit-wonders, hair bands, girl groups (1950s and 1960s), middle eastern, hip hop, rock, pop, 80s BOY BANDS, BOBBY BROWN (in the 80s/early 90s when he had the Gumby hair), Spanish ska, soul, r&b, neo-soul, dancehall, 90s alt rock, power ballads, mariachi, salsa, merengue, country, Jason Mraz
"Sabor a mi" - one of the best songs ever :)

I pretty much love any type of music. Music is what drives my soul and my hips :)

Movies:
