I'm Melissa. I'm originally from Arkansas, now living in a small town in California (so small, in fact, that it wasn't even listed in the drop down menu.). I moved out here about two years ago, but it's so small I've met everyone there is to meet. I'd like to find some people to write to in my spare time.  I'm currently going to school as a voice major, which is fun but exhausting.  I'm really into music, obviously.  I'm learning to play the piano and also have a cello that I want to eventually learn.  I watch a lot of  movies (cult classics, older horror, musicals, etc,) cartoons and animated series (live and die for the Simpsons,) reading when I can (Sylvia Plath is one of my favorites.)  I'm also really into beer.  I mean, how can you work in a bar and not be, right?  If you're interested in getting some snail mail going shoot a message my way and let's see if it's worth exchanging addresses.

I would prefer females, as I'm in a very committed relationship, but I'm not opposed to male penpals.  Also, if you're going to message me, please give me something a little more substantial than "Hi."

Music, singing, reading, coffee, beer, animation, cult classics, film, conspiracy theories, paranormal activity, cooking, piano, pinball.
