About Me

Hi, I’m Melanie. I love to travel. I’ve decided I want to see all 50 states by the time I’m 30. So far I’ve been to 20. I love coffee and strawberry ice cream. I love to read. Mexican food is my favorite. I love meeting “real” people. I love horses and wide open spaces. I’ve lived in Orange County my entire life and, with the exception of a few great beach days, I’ve never really liked it. I love my big extended family. I like roses, but I love tulips. I hate bad drivers and traffic! My brother is fabulous. Country and rock music are my favorites. I love fishing and camping. I love basketball, and I’ll be a Lakers fan until I die. I love that I pretty much have a Gilmore Girls quote for everything. I love to laugh, and I love Jesus with all of my heart!

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

"The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue center light pop and everybody goes "AWWW!"' - Jack Kerouac
You Are a Double Espresso
Hey Energizer Bunny Girl! Do you ever slow down?
You're a mix of high energy and ambition, perfectly matched with strong espresso
When you want something you get it - by any means possible
You're driven, determined, and no nonsense. Which is just how you like your java. What Kind of Coffee Are You?

Music:

I'm a music junkie... and love pretty much all of it. Mostly though I listen to rock and country. And sometimes hip hop because of certain persuasive influences in my life that I can't possibly avoid.

Movies:

Pride and Prejudice, Boondock Saints,The Princess Bride, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, all three Lord of the Rings, the ORIGINAL Star Wars movies, the Godfather, Father of the Bride I and II, the Departed, Miss Congeniality, Return to me...

Television:

Gilmore Girls, Alias the Nanny, Friends, and of course- law and order, because it makes me feel smart.

Books:

I love fantasy. Terry Brooks is probably my favorite author. I'm trying to read all the "classics." I love to read. I've always been a book nerd like that. I like books that are well written enough that I feel sad when I finished them and if I don't have a book to read I usually feel very lost

Heroes:

Jesus!

Thanksgiving

Hurray for the holiday that celebrates our thankfulness for everything with food and time off school/work. anything that manages that is good in my book. Since supposedly we're supposed to "meditate o...
