♥Simply Mellen♥

Hi Everyone!!!Can you believe it? I FINALLY revamped my profile!! I know, shocking, huh? I can't believe it either. Tis like a breath-of-fresh-air, isn’t it? Hoping this layout loads since the other one had issues. Geesh, sure gonna miss that ol' "pepto pink flowery vomitus” page, ey? I cannot wait to change my layout whenever I feel like it! Or even better, I get to change my song as my life dictates so be sure to pay my profile a return visit often as to see what I’m up to – never know what this ’drama magnet’ will post next! *w*
Okay time to introduce myself since there always seems to be a rumor or two floating around in my regard, let’s set the record straight, shall we?
If there is anything you should know about me, it’s that I’m an open book!!! I share my emotions freely with hopes I offend no one – well, unless they offend first, then it’s fair play, right? ;-)
My given name is “Mary Ellen Hammack”, I go by “Mary Ellen”, but tis okay that most of y’all know me or refer to me as “Mellen”.
Um, I’m a road running free spirit!! I ADORE road trips; simply cannot get enough of traveling and stopping at historical sites at every turn!I’m a brutally honest, silly, sincere, caring, unique, and genuine human being who always sees the best in people until they prove me with a reason to otherwise…. and by then, it’s too late, I’m also unforgiving, sigh.
I refuse to back-down to bullies, rude people, obnoxious, hypocritical users, thieves, and liars!
D’oh, obviously, I’m witty, sometimes I’m too smart for my own britches!
I’m terrible with names but never forget a face.
I’m a hopeless romantic, who adores candles, music, meditating, dancing, the color pink, old Hollywood, and writing.
I love learning new things, sharing with others what I’ve learned, and oddly have an internal instinct for law (which makes my 4.0 GPA an easy accomplishment).
Um, I’m VERY opinionated yet open-minded.
I’m an enigma too, in case you haven’t already figured that one out.
I adore this planet. I never litter. I cannot even pick a flower.
I’m also the very proud, full-time mommy of two exceptionally smart and gorgeous boys and it’d be no surprise to find me at one of their schools volunteering or teaching.
I’m also a devoted & doting wife of almost 2-decades, my BIGGEST accomplishment thus far! *w*
I am the youngest of my family; aside from me, I still have my mom and brothers to embrace. My beloved sister, Roxanne Kolvet-Hutchings, passed away this past summer (7/6/7) and my father, Robert Kolvet, passed away in June of 1970.
Despite I get my “gypsy blood” honestly, it was in a town called Brownsburg where my mom finally settled and we planted roots. I graduated high school probably before you were born and have dabbled in college ever since where I’ve studied a variety-of-subjects ranging from elementary education, criminal justice, and criminal law; and I have the intention of looking into a creative writing class soon.
Yep you guessed it! I’m planning on penning some books before my time is up on this fine planet. Most will involve the paranormal as I’ve been fascinated by it and studied it ever since I was a VERY young girl. I believe by my being so young and open-minded, well it allowed me to develop a knack for intuitivity & acute sensitivity; which isn't always a good thing but I've learned to live with it. So tis no surprise that I'm unsure as to who is drawn to whom more; me to the paranormal - or - the paranormal toward me! All I know is, those who have investigated beside me over the years brag about the great data they obtain and the stuff that occurs while I’m in the room. Coincidence? Maybe. But when you factor in their EVP calling out over & over to me by name, hmmm, makes one wonder, "what if". *she humbly states*
I've been told by many "sensitive" individuals that I was born prematurely due to an act of God's. I'm an "indigo child", so to speak, who is naturally "ordained", as I was told to me by SEVERAL elders a Spiritual emcampment; due to my birthdate (11/1/66) AND that that's a VERY rare year to be born, tis what's to be by God so I TRULY believe it's true and I've a "duty" assigned to me by Him; one I'm plan on fulfulling to the best of my abilities! :-)
Paranormally speaking, as an outlet to sate my ‘insatiable’ appetite for the paranormal, well over five years ago I joined and helped form an Indiana ghost tracking group's Indianapolis Chapter. For years I paid my dues, both literally and figuratively, by assuming the role and title of Chapter Secretary and well as Chapter Director, not once, not twice, but three times over yet due to personal differences I chose to not assume the titles offered to me including regional, corporate, and executive. My devotion and ambitiousness earned me multiple chapter, state, and executive awards & accolades during my tenure. Two years ago March, I resigned entirely, leaving me an ex-paranormal groupie, now I’m “Mz. Independent” and luvin’ every minute of it!
During that “group” era of my life, I was responsible for maintaining all assets of the chapter, training fellow chapter members in the basic “arts” of ghost hunting, coordinating and overseeing MULTIPLE fundraising events to not only promote paranormal awareness and the group but also to generate funds to save an ol’ building or two, planning dozens-upon-dozens of meetings, hunts, investigations, and statewide & public training sessions.
And yep, I’ve done a few public relation stints along-the-way, although they've JUST begun (um, that's a secret little hint there, btw). Some of my more prominent past PR ops included interviews in venues such as local television shows, several radio stints, innumerable newsprint articles and I appeared briefly in the group’s sleeper VHS para-documentary entitled, “Mystic Indiana”.
However, it was in the Fall of 2006, while attending a paranormal conference in Louisville, Kentucky, when my paranormal public relations took an about-face and branched out beyond even my dreams. I caught the tail-end of a talk given by two Sci-Fi producers who were announcing their plans to start on a journey to film a state-of-the-art para-documentary, one like none before it. We talked and it was no time before the producers contacted me, asking me to appear in their latest paranormal documentary which was released on DVD mid-October 2007 aptly entitled, ”Children of the Grave”; which is scheduled to air on Sci-Fi sometime mid-2008. With sincerity I believe fate led the three of us to meet that day for these two talented gentlemen and I were able to immortalize the lives of 699 precious young lost souls who almost went completely forgotten. To those fine men, I am forever in their debt; I was truly honored to have partaken in the filming!
As many of you already know, I simply ADORE patronizing paranormal conventions, fundraising events, conventions, conferences, picnics, and expositions. Because of my diligence to unify the paranormal “industry”, by helping others and awakening the general public that the paranormal is not going away and isn’t something to fear, my popularity here on MySpace has SKY ROCKETED! Some refer to me as a Paranormal Celebrity but I don’t feel any more special than the ‘other’ guy. I simply adore each & every one of you!
I spend a lot of time online answering your emails and giving advice to those seeking confidential assistance with personal hauntings &/or other personal issues. So if you’re in need, or need referral to a local group you can rely upon as professional, you’ve come to the right gal, shoot me an email! If I cannot assist you, I can point you into a direction of someone who can.
And as clichéd as this may sound, yep, I ask nothing in return. Why? Well I’m truly as sweet as my nickname implies and those who speak otherwise about me need to shoot me an email for you’re obvious a confused individual. No, I’m not a narcissist either, I’m simply proud of who I’ve grown to become. I always treat others as I’d prefer to be treated by them as I firmly believe in karma and whatever you bestow upon others comes back upon you 10-fold. Remember, I always see the good in people until they provide me with reason to otherwise.
Thank you for visiting my profile! Remember, visit again soon – my profile look will change more often now and oh, don’t forget how excited I am to change my songs as often as the mood hits me! :-)

Hugs & happy hunting ….
Mellen

You scored as Angel, Angel: Angels are the guardians of all things, from the smallest ant to the tallest tree. They give inspiration, love, hope, and positive emotion. They live among humans without being seen. They are the good in all things, and if you feel alone, don't fear. They are always watching. Often times they merely stand by, whispering into the ears of those who feel lost. They would love nothing more then to reveal themselves, but in today's society, this would bring havoc and many unneeded questions. Give thanks to all things beautiful, for you are an Angel.
