I am Melissa and I think I am a nice person so do not be afraid! I think at the end of the day what counts is your personality rather than the outside appearance and as soon as this superficial world starts to realise that, the better (though I know it will never realise it).

I have a boyfriend who I have been with for nearly three years and he is amazing! He plays many instruments and is amazing at them, piano being his first instrument but he also plays the organ and the clarinet. As well as this, he is also a pilot (which accounts for the aerial photos) and that is a rather fabulous way to see the world!

I am primarily interested in the arts; theatre being my top dog though fine art and photography are quite close behind. I study Literature and History though ultimately want to be a journalist and am just getting a portfolio together at the moment with lots and lots of scraps of articles from different publications (articles so poor in quality, my portfolio will be pointless as it will put people off me rather than make them hire me).

I work on a lot of different types of photography as you can see from my pictures; aerial, nature, artistic and portraits are all something I enjoy.

I also make clothes (albeit not particularly well). When I get bored I just start making a skirt or a dress but I still have not mastered my mini sewing machine so I do it all 100% by hand which takes quite a while to do properly I tell you now!

I like animals; I have a bird and a dog (both rescued). I have my bird since I was 2 (I am now nineteen) and he is ancient and my dog is 12 so they are a couple of oldies bless em!

I don't really know what to put here as there are several other boxes with my name on them below to fill and I fear I am not an interesting enough person to fill them all.

I always feel like an idiot writing these things and I think I sound very pretentious but speak to me and you will see that I am not :)
