hi, i'm melanie. 22. blue-eyed. curly haired. spunky. gemini. i get asked pretty often about what my favorite part of life is. it's not something i can answer simply, because i truly enjoy pieces of everything, with no strong preference for one thing over something else. i'm known as 'one of the guys,' yet i'm a girlie girl as well. i love blue, purple and pink. i'm editor-in-chief for my college newspaper (yes, a passion of mine is writing). i spent four quarters as a sports reporter for the same newspaper, with two quarters as assistant sports editor and last quarter i was sports editor. so i'm a big fan of sports as well (go seahawks! go mariners!) i play MMORPG's (World of Warcraft, Lineage 2 and Final Fantasy XI), so i'm "one of those chicks who game." music is my soul. my iPod is love. so is my guitar. i'm random. i don't express it as much in my writing because my writing takes some thought. but i'm the most random person i know. i love the ocean and the mountains, and i can't pick which is better. probably because i have it lucky. if i look outside the window at work, i can look out over the water, look to the right and see one mountain range, then look to the left and see another. i love to write and read, but i love to get outside and go hiking, camping and the like. i'm content on my own, but i love the company of others. i love sailing and movies and dancing and rollercoasters and painting my toe nails and laughing and beaches with sand between my toes and whispers and tigers and starlight and windy days and kisses and raindrops and chocolate and sunsets and... i go nuts without my cell phone, and if i don't have my camera in my purse i'll realize it's missing. if i tried to sum myself up any further, i'd be writing a novel. i'll be honest...some of my entries are rants. most of them are long. but i'm a friendly, considerate, shy but outgoing (it works, i swear), crazy goofy girl who might just surprise you, who knows. add me if you like.
