Hi, I'm Melissa and enjoy riding bicycles and using exclamation points!
div_zero and I are dating. I mostly use okcupid for random quizzes, but I suppose I'm not opposed to making new friends.

I'm a film and music nerd. I can relate to Rob Gordon (played by John Cusack) in High Fidelity, as I love to make lists and probably listen to more music than is healthy.

I definitely have a dark sense of humor. Life's too short to take it too seriously.

I'm a vegetarian.

I have 4 tattoos and plan on getting more someday.

I've been taking French since high school. I definitely sound like an American when I speak it, but I can read and write it pretty well.

I also sew, do yoga, and play bass and guitar.

Wow, this is a very egocentric section. If there's anything else you'd like to know, just send me a message!

I have a year left of school, then I'm off to get my career started!

Once I have enough free time/money (I'm currently a full-time student who works part-time), I'd love to get out and see the world. Someday, I plan on taking the Pacific Coast Highway from San Diego to Seattle. I'd love to explore the East Coast, as I've never been there before. Hopefully I'll be able to go to Europe soon.

Writing, being a dork, trivia, making people laugh, being random, "name that tune", Dance Dance Revolution, Rock Band...what? I said I'm a dork!

I'm not sure. Maybe I should have a friend answer this for me.

I laugh and smile a lot. I'm a redhead (sorry guys, it's not natural). I suppose I'm above average height for a girl. A lot of people compliment me on my glasses, which have blue and green tint if you look at them from the right angle.

Books: I think Okcupid listed me as "Less Literary" because I spend more time watching movies/television than reading. I do enjoy reading, though!
Sex, Drugs, and Cocoa Puffs, On the Road, Catcher in the Rye, Ham on Rye, Let Fury Have the Hour, Cat's Cradle, No Exit, Les Jeux Sont Faits (not sure of the English translation...the chips are played?), The Stranger, To Kill a Mockingbird

1. Macbook
2. Music (I carry my iPod pretty much everywhere)
3. Cell phone
4. Netflix
5. Bicycle (I just got a cruiser bike and love it)
6. Concerts

I think a lot about the future and where I'm headed with my life. I'm looking forward to school being over, even though it's gone by really quickly. I enjoy feeling nostalgic and reflecting on the past, but I don't let myself get too hung up on it.

I'm almost always have a song stuck in my head. Right now I'm on a Brand New kick.

I usually use Fridays to take a break from homework.

Activities include:
-Bike rides
-Going to the gym
-Watching movies
-Reading
-Hanging out with friends

When I'm hanging out with friends, we usually go to a bar or a hookah bar. Sometimes we play mini-golf or go bowling, it all really just depends on the night.

I will probably judge you based off of your spelling and grammar. Intelligence is sexy.

you want to.
