About Me

My name is Melissa, but I respond to a lot
I'm known for being emo.
Translation: I cry a lot, dress funny, and talk about my emotions...
and i like pale skrawny music playing boys
I want someone to love me, but pay no attention to me at the same time
I like to consider myself to be an artist
I'm either honest or sarcastic, with no inbetweens
I love beauty, and see it everywhere
Make me laugh and you'll win my heart
I'm obessed with music and can recite lyrics like it's nobody's business
I'm a Jersey Girl. Say something bad about my state and I'll kick your ass

This layout was handmade with love by the folks at My space or yours? Go get one!
