Blogging. Hmmmm. Okay. I'm Melanie and I'm 25 years old. I'm currently enrolled in an Online program through Florida State to obtain my Masters in Information Studies (aka I want to work in a Library someday). I have my Bachelor of Arts from Mansfield University (in Pennsylvania) in Vocal Music and English Literature. All that proves is that I like to sing and read. A lot. I've lived in upstate New York all my life, and most recently moved to the Rochester area, but I'm not tied to the area anymore. My parents, who've turned out miraculously despite my horrid teen years to be some of my favorite people, just relocated to Savannah Georgia. I have a pretty miserable job where I've met some amazing people. I work 40+ hours a week in a call center training people how to talk to people like 'you' when you're at your angriest and most miserable. I swear, sometimes I don't understand how people can honestly talk to another person in the way that I'm spoken to. Just something to take to heart when you're completely frustrated with a Company, but you could be talking to me. And I swear I didn't do anything to you to deserve it. I'm just paying my bills so that someday I can do something better with my life (oh and they pay for most of my grad school so I can't complain too much.)
I love animals. I have a beautiful lab/bordie collie mix named Delilah, and a calico kitten named Lizzie B (after the famous alleged parent murderers because she was slightly insane as a kitten). I have an insanely eclectic music collection--- I'm sure that Beethoven secretly would be proud to be next to Justin Timberlake and Ella Fitzgerald hundreds of years after his death. I read a lot, although during the semester it tends to be more textbooks than pleasure books.
I have a great family. As a matter of fact, I live with one of my brothers. And it strangely works better than any other living arrangements I've had previously. I miss my Mom and Dad more each day, but realize that sometimes life isn't always what I wish it was. And that I need to grow up at some point. My friends keep me sane, especially when it seems life would be so much easier if I just dropped all the hard stuff and walked the line.
As far as introductions go, I think I'm done. Although I could probably go on forever babbling away.
