Dear adoring fans,
I regret to inform you that instead of using Blogger, the trusty ol' site, I have made the switch to Tumblr. I know it's lame to conform but sometimes it's just whats best.
BLAWG, you've helped me through bad times and good times but mostly bad times.
Thanks for always listening and I'll see you on another time,
-Melissa

Sometimes I look around my room and I look at myself and I think that it's strange that I never recognize who I am.

-Zebra stripe sheets
-paintings on the walls
-books on art, design, and Andy Warhol
-a violin/classical electric amp
-canon rebel
-a star wars poster on the wall
-my band posters on the wall
-a kleenex box with cartoon monsters on it

I like these things normally but for some reason right now none of this matters at all. my hormone medicine isn't working again so i'm feeling highly emotional... so it's pretty much like i'm pmsing all the time, anyway that's not important! what's important is that none of the things in my life (minus art) that normally matter right now, matter. the only thing i cannot get enough of is the most amazingness boy that i know. boy, even my 3 year relationship doesn't measure up to this. i know everything will work out and you will be able to come home; i don't think you want to miss out on this.

this isn't just a summer thing my friend, and i know you know it too. =)

I know my dad doesn't know very much about me because when I finally answer his phone calls he says, "So, how's your art class?" I know it's sweet that he's trying but, Dad, I'm in many art classes.

I'm currently in my dance class where we're learning about modern dance and watching this terrible movie about these Brazilian dancers. I don't want to look up again because I know I'll think in my head again this exact thought... (I am looking up now) "These people look like mentally disabled mimes. I assume they're getting whiplash and the worst part about it all is that they've practiced this for hours and hours I'm sure. I hate this music and I hate this video more than anything I've ever been forced to watch in my life. Not to be closed- minded or anything but, this style of dance should just go away now." And that's that.

On a good note, I'm writing my letters of interest for the soap factory and walker today. My professor just informed me she'll be e-mailing the people at the soap factory as well with her letter of recommendation and i can't wait =)

Wish me luck anyone!

Someone is making bird noises outside of my window. I wish it were Tyler!

I'm sitting at the kitchen table studying for my art history test 6 hours from now and I just ate soup from a cup because all the bowls are dirty. I'm drinking coffee and hoping it enhances my ability to absorb artistical knowledge!

I watched the movie Paper Heart yesterday and I appreciated it. I mean, it was an okay movie but I think that the way the main character felt throughout the movie made all the viewers feel like they've been there too.

My favorite part was when an old lady was trying to describe her love of the man she's been with 50+ years; "When you meet somebody and you just get that feeling like you’ve known them forever and they’re definitely part of your life and you can’t imagine life without them and you want to be with them for every minute of every day and you want to share everything; that’s when you’re in love."

Thank you old lady, that was touching. I'm glad you feel that way even though you've been married for so long. You give hope to victims of divorced parents!

I don't want to do art history anymore. I want to just paint all night and not sleep and listen to great music in a studio space. That's what I want!

and also a kiss from the cutest boy I know!
