About Melanie

Name: Melanie

Age: 19

Family: My mom and dad, my dog, and me. I'm an only child. To explain my e-mail address, my dog's name is Sprite.

Area: Harrisburg, but not in the city. Harrisburg is my mailing address.

Bands: The Martini Bros., Negative Space, Julian Fist, Emily's Toybox, Pete Palladino, HaleStorM, Jet Silver, Jellybricks, Dead 50s, Big Tubba Mista, Cellarbirds, No Show Ponies, Mary Prankster, Nowhere Quick, The Clarks... I was unaware of the local music scene until July 2000 so I am still learning. Also unsigned, but not local: Perforated Head, Miss Fortune, Idle Ride, Laughing Colors, Unprovoked Moose Attack, Distorted Penguins, Youth Ahead... I also like No Doubt, Travis, Coldplay, Remy Zero, Goo Goo Dolls, Ash, Matchbox20, Green Day, Blink 182, Muse, Lifehouse, Wallflowers, Madonna...

Hobbies: Well, aside from local music-ness, I listen to The Bruce Bond Late Afternoon Show as much as possible. I make collages and water paint sometimes. As for TV, I try to watch Seinfeld reruns, Curb Your Enthusiasm (starring Larry David, the writer from Seinfeld), the Sopranos, and 6 Feet Under. Some of my favourite movies are Almost Famous, King Pin, Contact, Being John Malkovich, Fight Club, Alive, Gypsy, What About Bob, and The Shining.

Future Plans: HACC for now. I think I would enjoy writing for a publication when I "grow up."

Other Randomness: Those foaming bath gels and lotions are all fun and moisturizing! The tropical fruits starburts are the best in my opinion. Peanut butter smidgens are better than Reese's peanut butter cups. And like Shannon, my preferred beverage is water.
