ABOUT ME

*knock, knock* is this thing on?
Well, I'm Melissa. I can't say all about me, really, 'cause that would be entirely boring. right? But I can say this: I'm witty, and kind, and quite sassy. Well, I'm also told I'm quite intelligent. But I don't trust those people, my friends. *stage whisper* they're biased!
Either way, let me put a little something I strongly believe in, in case we meet.. :)

Reflections on Ice-Breaking

Candy
Is Dandy
But liquor
Is quicker.

PHILOSOPHY

Be kind, rewind. :P or just be kind. I'm always amazed by the power of kindness..

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I basically think that it's a wondeful medium for opening your horizons, for meeting new people and for showing kindness to one another as citizens of the world. Solidarity, baby!

Interests

Literature (espescially poetry), writing, partying., good food, and good people to converse with. :) music and movies are also a key interest. And Blondes. I have a thing for Blondes. Lol.
