About Me


br
BANDS: If you want me to check you out, send me a message, and don't just say "We rock" tell me why you think i will enjoy your music. I disabled the freind requests because i get pages of requests from bands and it takes alot of time to sift through them since i actually take a listen...I am always open to new music so just message me.
That being said...
My name is Melissa. I am a Capricorn with Gemini rising. I am full blooded Italian. I have been told i should have been born german or irish. I can be one of the easiest people to get along with. I am a self proclaimed workaholic, and enjoy taking on projects. Right now i am freelancing as an Audio Engineer, and hopefully once i get more equipment i can work towards making a decent career out of it. I am also working full time at State bank of Long Island. I am hoping that through all this work I will eventually be able to live comfortably and start to accomplish all the goals I want to meet in my lifetime. I want to work for myself eventually, or in an environment that works with my ideals and my lifestyle. I don’t like to answer to anyone but myself. I like being in control of a situation. I like organizing things in my own way. I am driven to succeed and I won’t accept less. I can be competitive, and I do not take failure well. Working keeps me on track, If I didn’t keep busy I would probably get bored with life, and over think myself into a rut. That being said, I am passionate about many thing, and as much as I enjoy being busy, I hope that one day I am not consumed only by work.
My number one passion is music, mostly metal, but I am open to anything that I can connect with somehow. I like music that I can get lost in, that can engulf me in a certain mood or feeling. I like Music that stirs up thoughts, ideas, and emotions from deep within a situation. I like Music that sends shivers down my spine, Music that embraces you completely. I compare guitar solos to making love. I love intensity. I love dark, poetic beauty. I love dark passionate imagery and the beauty within the grotesque. I like things that are so ugly they are beautiful. Things that most people wouldn’t even second glance.
I am passionate about creativity, I enjoy writing, be it erotica, poetry, or short stories, I enjoy writing music when the muse whispers in my ear. I write on guitar and keyboard mainly. Sometimes I write simple guitar pieces, other times I like layering, and creating intricate, sometimes chaotic, loops of melodies over melodies. I do have a tendency to put pieces down for awhile. If I ever learn the instruments to a deeper understanding then perhaps I will finish and expand my ideas to maturity.
I enjoy reading, but If I am going to sit down with a book it has to seduce me, and hook me by the first few pages. Once I am into a book I will read it in a few days or weeks, because I will not want to put it down. I like books that are dark, twisted, intelligent, and intense. I like Books that stimulate your mind and your thinking.
I love knowledge, and learning new things everyday. I believe you cannot debate against something, or be against something, unless you know and understand all sides of an argument. I enjoy debate, and I think disagreement sparks good conversation. I can be very opinionated. I am interested in all philosophies and religions, but more interested in alternative and unconventional ways of thinking. I have not found one that I connect with completely. I believe someone’s belief and religion are intensely personal and should not need to be classified or given a name. Even within groups of people who share the same belief system, it varies between people. I do believe in living life for the time you can enjoy it, living for the moment, and not for an afterlife that might not exist. I Agree with many of the principals of Satanism, but do not consider myself a Satanist. I am always open to exploring ways of thinking to both better myself, and become more in tune with my own mind. I treat people fairly, and with respect, and expect the same in return. I am one of the nicest people you will know, but you cannot walk over me, and I will not tolerate close minded ignorance, disrespect, and intentional undeserved cruelty. I do not worship a god, but I do not dispel the idea that everything is under the influence of certain energy. Like I said before, I do not agree wholly with any one way of thinking. I live my life the way I see fit, I walk the paths I choose, and as long as it brings me satisfaction and happiness,and as long as it takes me farther in life, and teaches me new things, and is not blatantly hurting anyone, I believe that is all that matters. When I have time I do enjoy learning about the more pagan religions, and enjoy learning and reading about Greek mythology and Norse Mythology. I think different countries and cultures are fascinating, and i would like to really travel the world one day and learn about different cultures, meet their people, eat their foods, and not through the eyes of a tour guide. I want to see the world and find little things that make amazing moments, find beautiful things that not everyone would appreciate, find the overlooked, and maybe quirky, amazing, breath taking experiences that the world has to offer.
I enjoy nature, and being outside. It infuriates me how much disrespect we have for nature, and how little understanding we have of the world around us. How little we use the vast resources surrounding us, and how little we appreciate the beauty that occurred without any building, or synthetic material. I feel very balanced, secure, and at peace walking through the woods, quiet, watching the world exists without my interference. I want to be able to live in a civilized world, but be able to retreat to a more secluded, tranquil home near a lake, and in the midst of woods, and nature when I need. I need to be able to get away from the noisy, mechanical, technological landscape of cell phones, honking horns, gridlock traffic, computers, skyscrapers, briefcases, and seas of migrating businessmen and human beings.
I enjoy laughter and sometimes believe it IS the best medicine. I try to look at the little enjoyments, and little moments that bring me happiness instead of dwelling on the negative. Nobody is happy all the time, but I try and be optimistic, and I try to let as much roll off my shoulder as possible, saving my strength and energy for when it matters.
I enjoy good friends, and family, and spending time with both. I enjoy family gatherings, and large feasts of good food, good cheer, and good company. I believe in “eat, drink, and be merry.” I'm definitely a people person, though I find many people disappointing, and it is hard for me to connect to anyone on a deeper level, on the surface I do enjoy social time. I get along with almost everyone, and I find common ground in most people I meet. If I find you interesting or intriguing I want to know more about you, everything about you. I believe as humans we are social animals, and no matter what anyone says, they are looking for a certain level of acceptance. You shouldn’t have to change for anybody, and you should always remain yourself, but it is nice to find other people with generally the same ideals and thoughts as you, and knowing that you are not alone in your thinking. Having a couple of true and dear friends who would take a bullet for you is essential. My friends in NYDM are very special to me, and whether they are blood or not they are like family. We have many different beliefs, ideals, tastes in music, but we have a special bond, and a unity that is definitely uplifting. It is a family, and no matter how close we are, or if we are mere acquaintances, I feel comfortable and at home, and believe they accept me and like me for who I am, and I the same to them. Really, I am probably one of the nicest people you'll meet, unless you threaten someone I care about, or give me a good reason not to be nice to you.
People say I am one of the sweetest people they know, that said people also say that i am deranged, sinister, and twisted. I have a sick sense of humor. The latter doesn’t make me a bad person. I’m somewhat complex but at the same time easy to please, I like new experiences, and having a good time. I can be easily amused but not simple minded. Sometimes I confuse people; I guess you can find out for yourself. I don’t try to be anything that I am not. In general I'm open, very friendly, silly, and I will talk about anything and everything, I don't believe in taboo, and I’ll answer any questions, whether that is good or bad. I can have a very sexual mind but there is much more to me than that, I love to meet and talk to new people. I think life is too short to not have fun. As much as you need to keep your guard up, don’t let it hold you back or keep you from being happy. You only live once. Little things amuse me. Sometimes just sitting alone in a dirty rock club, listening to the jukebox, with a pint of Guinness is the perfect moment. Sometimes the perfect moment is making up constellations, or watching a sunrise, or staying up all night with someone, or sipping tea. I enjoy late night breakfasts at diners, I enjoy going to shows, I enjoy watching people, learning about people, finding little quirks about people, I enjoy snuggling up to someone special and watching a movie when the mood is right, I enjoy singing along to a CD, blasting it with the windows down, or making up words to songs I don’t know. I enjoy dancing like nobody is watching, even when nobody is. I enjoy finding new things that I enjoy! Go on…impress me. If you want to know more about me, just message me or something...
Alone we are strong, together we are unstoppable
Everyone seeks a bond, a friendship,even the fires of hades could not destroy

My Interests



I enjoy hanging out in recording studios; if not working, learning and asking questions. Music is a prominent interest. I enjoy getting into new music, going to shows. I live being active, and i consistantly go to the Gym; I like lifting weights, sweating is exhilerating and a great way to de-stress. I also enjoy climbing,and romping around, or wrestling around with friends. I like art, I cannot draw well but I enjoy looking at art; be it sculpture, painting, photography. I myself am interested in photography and dabble in it. I occasionally model when i find the right project, or something i can get really into conceptually. I enjoy interior design, writing, and anything artistic and creative. I love experiencing new and exiting things, things that can take my breath away, thunderstorms and sunrises. I love barbeques, good gatherings of people, cooking. I adore my cats, they are my children. I like bunnies, and cute things. I also am a big fan of reptiles and arachnids. I generally have an interest in Nature, animals, the outdoors, walking through the woods, fishing, horseback riding, camping, and learning about edible plants and survival. I like tattoos (which I will have soon) and Piercings ( I have 6…a 7th planned).I enjoy overloading my senses, sensations, visual richness, and touch. I am fascinated by Astrology, philosophy, existence,symbolism, deep thought, and culture. I am sexual; I enjoy indulgence in great sex, getting lost in a heated passionate moment, trying new things, discovery, intense connections between people. I enjoy fantasy, and living out fantasy. I am fascinated by human sexuality and I like studying and observing it. I enjoy masturbation, pornography, being naked, and I don’t understand the taboo of it all. I enjoy Erotica, both reading and writing. I enjoy passionate stories of romance and discovery. I enjoy dark imagery, and the beautiful and grotesque. Paint peeling off the walls, rust covered rails, there’s so much beauty in unlikely places. I want to start photographing road kill. I enjoy images of demons and death. I like skulls and bones. I like watching Smoke and fire, the glowing ember of a cigarette. I love dark atmosphere, and getting chills down your spine. There is something beautiful about A glowing moon in the fog, or graveyard after dark. I like the glow of candles and aroma of incense. I like haunted places. I love challenge, and I will put up a good fight. I love travelling and adventure, and I wish to visit the world. I like Castles, I think they are beautiful, I want to visit old castles, and I wish to own one. I also like imagery of dragons, and gargoyles. I am also a fan of swords, dagger, chainmail, and that whole medieval period. I kind of want to learn to sword fight, but not for dungeons and dragons type nonsense. I can be found hanging out in Pubs, usually drinking Guinness. I like red wine and a good heavy beer. I also enjoy the mood in coffee houses. Finding vintage clothing, and silly hats in thrift stores is occasionally a fun past time. I enjoy finding things that bring me back to times i can relate to, times that have charm and grace. Very Hit or Miss. I love old muscle cars, and I wish to own one. One day I would really love to be able to restore one myself. Customize it to be the official Metal Mel Mobile. I do enjoy stage performance and musicals, mainly Rock Operas; Jesus Christ Superstar is a favorite, Rocky Horror, Jekyll and Hyde, Hedwig and the angry inch. Sometimes I picture life as a musical, I think it would be fabulously entertaining if one day the world just broke into song. I am a big kid at heart, I still enjoy playgrounds, singing in the rain, dancing on top of my car, I am bouncy and hyper when I want to be. I like running through fields, catching fireflies, making wishes on dandelions, sealing letters with stickers, writing in crayon, cheering people up with cupcakes. I like being silly, and quirky, and fun, and happy. Ah…. To be young and carefree again.

I'd like to meet:



*Sings* GIRLS GIRLS GIRLS!random Metalheads, Hot Metal Chicks, people i have stuff in common with, people who will challenge my mind, people who will agree with me, people who wont, people who can teach me something new. if ya want IM me at MetalheadMelissa

Right now I'm happy being single. I love being attracted to people, and i do crave and need companionship; someone to cuddle with, someone to connect with, someone that i enjoy being around with more than most, someone to be intimate with. i thrive with skin to skin contact, i'm a physical person, but i don't need to be in a "relationship", i dont need a title to be happy. i'm comfortable being single for now. I get attached to people very easily, and i can get clingy and touchy...but don't take it the wrong way.i don't think there is anything wrong with flirting as long as you know your boundries. I am not into randomly hooking up. i've always been very independant, and i'm generally a busy person so i dont have alot of time for romance. But i'm always down for getting to know someone, hanging out at a show or pub.....But go ahead, surprise me, prove me wrong :)

I like classic fairy tales, even though in this day and age I think obtaining fairy tale romance is impossible. A nice thought perhaps, and I cannot say I do not think about it, but when I think rationally I dispel any notions to suggest the possibilities. I leave it simply as fantasy. I am a closet romantic, not in the dinner and the movie sense, I don’t have any interest in the process of going on dates, but I am a sucker for a different kind of romance. I enjoy cute displays of affection. I like Making people smile. I am physical, flirtatious, but I do like to snuggle.


Music:


There is something from every genre of music that i like, so i guess i have pretty eclectic tastes. There is only good music and bad music.

There is music that i love, there is music that i like, and then there is music that moves me, inspires me, and caresses my very essence. I find alot of that in dark atmospheric music. Melodic, intense, beautifully chaotic.

Generally speaking Most of what I listen to is METAL AND ROCK AND ROLL!!! Black metal, Death metal, POWER METAL, Prog, Classic-Rock, Hair Bands, Classical/symphonic metal, THRASH METAL, Industrial metal, metal metal and more metal! Also some funk, hardcore (old school), some older punk,Some Rockabilly, Psychobilly, Classical Guitar, And whatnot. and cheesy 80's music! I like a some old school rap like ice cube and Wu-Tang. I love great female vocalists; like tori amos and Candice Night. I love music with a groove, funk, reggae. I love when you are inspired, touched, emotionally pulled by music.

Insanely intelligent, an amazing mind, dark and intriguing, and no matter what he thinks i will always KNOW how beautiful he is as a person. I dont think anybody knows or understands me better than he does. I would share the world and beyond with him. He knows i would do anything for him.
Mike "The godfather" for being a really great person in my life, and very dear to me. He is someone who i have incredible respect, admiration and love for and is one of the most Amazing, Genuine, outrageous,driven,intelligent,gifted,insane, beautiful people i know.
