About Me

My name is Melanie. I'm 28 years old and the proud single mother of 2 -- my son Brandon is 6 and my daughter Jordyn is 8 but believes she is at least 25! I've been in the Marine Corps for over 10 years and recently moved back to Okinawa, Japan, for a 3 year tour of duty. I've been to several countries over the past 10 years -- Japan, Korea, Thailand, Mexico, Djibouti and Germany -- at least that's what I can remember right now! Stateside I've traveled through most of the states from the mid-west out to the east coast and lived in North Carolina, Minnesota and Missouri over the past 10 years. I grew up in a small town in the middle of Bum-F*** no where Illinois -- and I loved it there! It's not where I want to live now but it was great growing up. I'm 5'1", blond hair, blue eyes. Physically, I'm not in too bad of shape but wouldn't mind dropping a couple pounds (who wouldn't?!!) and emotionally -- well, let's just say my life has been turned upside down over the past year and I'm still trying to figure out which way is up! The one thing I can say about me that people who have known me for years may find interesting is that I'm a lot nicer than I used to be! My kids have made me soft!!! I totally blame them! :) Other than that, I'm still the same old me........

My Interests

My kids... And traveling around the world -- especially on the government's dime! I love to travel. There are a few specific places I intend to go at some point in my life that I actually haven't made it to yet but other than that, I'll go anywhere I have the opportunity to go -- just for the hell of it! I love to venture out and see new things, no matter where I'm at. I spent 2 years in Okinawa already but I know there are so many things I haven't seen yet over here and I plan to take full advantage of the next 3 years and see it all.

I'd like to meet:

No one in particular...

Music:

Everything but country!!! I love music but I am just not a fan of country music. There are certain songs I can tolerate but other than that, hook me up with anything from Kelly Clarkson to The Notwist to Madonna to Linkin Park! ANYTHING but country!

Movies:

Chic flicks, dramas, and comedies. While I pride myself on not being a girly-girl, I do love my chic flicks. Julia Roberts, Sandra Bullock, and Kate Hudson are some I could watch any time. Some of my favorite men on the big screen are Johnny Depp, Denzel Washington, Morgan Freeman, Al Pacino, and Matthew McCona-whateverthehellhisnameis!

Television:

Survivor, CSI, 24, Sex in the City, Football. I'm good to go until some idiot decides it's a good idea to pull Survivor off the air! As much as I love it, I would NEVER go on it because even though I'm nicer than I used to be -- let's face it, I'm not THAT nice! I'd be booted off the very first day and no one likes to be the first one to go home!!!

Books:

Any drama/suspense thriller types... As long as it's not some mushy romance un-realistic shit or some boring history junk, I can usually read it. I love to read, I just don't have nearly enough hours in the day to do everything and still curl up with a book at the end of the day....

Heroes:

As corny as it is, I would have to say good parents (especially those brave enough to be single parents) and anyone who is willing to put their ass on the line for this f***ed up country have my admiration and support. I'm sure there are better answers than that but that's my take on things...
