The MySpace Account of Mel!

I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

Social but shy. Enjoys good bands and cold beer. Is vegan, so doesn't eat animals (except for the crackers). Hair is always messy. Loves hummus (except the sad excuse for hummus that they sell in the South. Yuck!) Likes to laugh; hard. Is always dancing. Tends to go on random long haul drives across state lines on total whims. Thinks mosh pits are fun and crowd surfing is cool. Reads a lot of books. Wants corporate America to go fuck themselves; hard. Enjoys pillow fights at Wal-mart (don't shop there!) and scavenger hunts with the Jew Crew. Enjoys eating Twizzlers and vegan goodies. Loves to meet new people. Has a habit of engaging in random games of frisbee; no matter the time or the place. Loves to sing drunken melodies with pals on the train to and fro from Boston. Likes to get free things out of dumpsters. Likes engaging in debate and discussions. Severely dislikes racist intolerant fools and all forms of bigotry. Says if you want to know more, you should message me or something.
