hey im melissa- im pretty sure that no one reads these things....
but just in case:
i like to have fun with everything i do. im kind of random and crazy, but i have a very serious side.
i want to make a difference; i want to be true to myself; i want to learn everything there is to know; i want to know what it truly is to live.


i LOVE:
my family and friends.
mario kart.
art.
body modification.
music.
tye-dye.
randomness.
life.
you.


i HATE:
sterotypes
people judging others
ignorance.
fortune cookies that don't make sense.
fish.
poverty.
when people complain All the Time!!!
grasshoppers.
global warming. (poor polar bears...)
war.

I was waiting for a cross-town train in the
london underground when it struck me
that I've been waiting since birth to find a
love that would look and sound like a movie
so I changed my plans I rented a camera and
a van and then I called you
"I need you to pretend that we are in love
again." and you agreed too

I want so badly to believe that "there is truth,
that love is real"
and I want life in every word to the extent
that it's absurd

I greased the lens and framed the shot using
a friend as my stand-in
the script it called for rain but it was clear
that day so we faked it
the marker snapped and I yelled "quiet on
the set" and then called "action!"
and I kissed you in a style clark gable would
have admired (i thought it classic)

I want so badly to believe that "there is truth,
that love is real"
and I want life in every word to the extent
that it's absurd
i know you're wise beyond your years, but
do you ever get the Feel
that your perfect verse is just a lie
you tell yourself to help you get by
