About Me

I'm Melanie.
I wear skinny jeans and sneakers every day.
I proudly live in Chicago (I only sleep in the nearby south-east suburbs).
I don't drink pop or eat red meat and I'm an on/off vegetarian
I listen to This American Life and read bizarre books in my free time.
I try not to follow racial, gender, economic, and regional stereotypes.
I'm the 'artsy kid' who takes organic chemistry.
I own a slr camera, digital camera, fisheye camera, Polaroid camera, homemade pinhole camera, but I use my cellphone camera the most.
I care a lot about music, street fashion, psychology and photography.
I'm a true 80's baby without the gold chain and I listen to more alternative rock than a party a rockstar-er.
I listen to mainly post-hardcore, indie, electro and hip-hop in its purest form (80s and early 90s) and new artist who keep hip-hop alive.
I have very few friends who listen to the same types of music as me, but that doesn't stop me from liking what I like.
I hope to be part of at least one social revolution before I get old.
You can call me a 'uber liberal' because I care a lot about social issues and different cultures within and outside of America.
I want to travel the world one day, especially Japan, China, India, Liberia, England, South Africa, Paris, Australia, and The Netherlands.
People say I act like I'm from California or New York.
I plan to live in Southern California or Brooklyn one day.
People say I talk 'proper' and I will never utter 'aint' or any form of ebonics because my parents have sacrificed too much and I want to present myself in the best way possible no matter who I'm around.
I'm a Psychology Pre-med major and one day I will become a child psychiatrist.

You can be my friend if...

your a cool kid
