My name is Melanie, some people call me Mellon. My passions are a little all over the place, but they all have a commonality- creating: be it art, music, or food.

I moved to Louisana right when Covid-19 hit, so life has been a little strange- but pressing on! I look forward to hearing from new people and sending some of my creations their way. ❤

Bent Knee, Jethro Tull, Steven Wilson, Kate Bush, Kishi Bashi, Steely Dan, TesseracT, Heart, Fleetwood Mac, Beardfish, alt-j, Daughter, David Bowie, James Newton Howard, Pink Floyd, Enya, The Tea Club ... and many more!

Anything fantasy, really, but there needs to be good writing. Specifically, some of favorites include:

Lord of the Rings (all three, but I have a special place in my heart for Return of the King.)

Memoirs of a Geisha, Secondhand Lions

Almost anything by Pixar. Or Studio Ghibli. Or Tim Burton.

The Phantom of the Opera (I do love a good musical.) How to Train Your Dragon,The Dark Crystal, Pretty in Pink, Lovely Bones, Rocky Horror Picture Show, August Rush, Office Space, Hook, The Nightmare Before Christmas...

... and etc.

Let's see... there is a lot that I watch.

My go tos: The Office, IT Crowd, Black Books, Parks & Rec, Breaking Bad, Supernatural, The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance, Adventure Time, Rick & Morty, Lucifer, Frasier...etc.

Anime: Inuyasha, Ouran High School Host Club, Fruits Basket (the new remake is quite good), Lucky Star, Nichijou, Attack on Titan, Higurashi no Naku Koro ni... again too many to list.

Not a fan of the super long running shows like Naruto ... sorry.

KDRAMA: Now, I don't listen to much KPop, but I do love those super cheesy romance, grotesquely sweet Kdramas Currently watching Oh My Ghost! and Love Alarm. Just finished The Liar and His Lover, and The Inheritors.

HUGE fan of food. Seriously not picky- my absolute favorite type is Japanese... with Korean, Indian, and Spanish foods being my close seconds.

I am open to most everything crafty.

Conclusion: I am not picky whatsoever! Open to anything new, especially if it brings someone else joy. :)
