About Mellon Collie

The Bare Necessities

Name: Mellon Collie.
Height: Four feet, eleven (and a half!) inches.
Look: Short, pale, thin, dark brown hair with a little auburn in it, blue eyes, button nose.  Nothing special.
Birthday: November 28, 1985
Heritage: British.
Lives: Seattle, Washington.
Likes: Art, Marc Davis, Disney, The Smashing Pumpkins (Billy Corgan CAN TOO SING!), being with my friends,  working with people and animals, drawing, The Beatles, reading… oh, whatever.  I like a lot of stuff, okay?
Dislikes: Crying, feeling helpless, that snaggy feeling when one of your toenails is cut weird and it catches on your sock or something else…  ::cringes::, hypocrites, George W. Bush, "compassionate conservatism," ignorant people, and people who stereotype others.  There's more, but I won't bore you.
Color: Red.

The In-Case-You-Want-to-Know-What-Colour-Underwear-I'm-Wearing List

What's your full name? Mellon Collie, of course.  (Pssst!  It's Julia!)
Heritage? British, for the most part.
Nickname? Tink(er Bell), Mellon Collie, Pixie, Jules, etc.
Gender? Female
What color is your hair? Brown
What color are your eyes? Dark blue.
Height? Four feet, eleven and a half inches.
Birthday? November 28, 1985
Your sign? Sagittarius.  Bloody hell.  How do you spell that?
Where do you live? Seattle, Washington.
Where where you born? Ditto.
Have you ever been in love? I'm not sure.  Maybe.
What's your favorite color(s)? Red.  Especially blood red.  (It ISN'T morbid!)
Do you have any piercings, or want any? My ears were pierced, but the skin on my earlobes is too soft, so they just sort of migrated south, leaving me with two lovely slits in my ears.  I figured that was enough piercing.
Where do you shop at the most? Nordstrom, lots of various music stores, bookshops, and I love those little independent shops that have nifty stationary and blank books and things in them.  The sorts of places that sell seals and sealing wax.  And art supply stores, of course.
Favorite book? Winnie-the-Pooh, Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass, The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings.  I love to read, and I love a lot of books, but these four are my all-time favourites.
Favorite movie?  The Philadelphia Story (this is NOT the movie Philadelphia!  Where Tom Hanks has AIDS?  No.  It's not.  It's an old movie with Katherine Hepburn, Jimmy Stewart, and Cary Grant), Monsters, Inc., Some Like it Hot.
Favorite actor/actress?  Actors:  Jimmy Stewart and Cary Grant.  Actresses:  Audrey Hepburn and Katharine Hepburn.
Do you smoke? No, I do not.
Do you do drugs? Guilty of daily use of Seattle's Drug of Choice:  coffee.  Other than that, no.
What kind of music do you like?  Rock - lots of indie type rock, sadly.  I like old rock, too.  Like, you know, Elvis.  And the Beatles of course!  I also own almost every Disney soundtrack ever produced.  They're great!
Who is your favorite musician/band?  The Smashing Pumpkins.
What kind of makeup do you use? I'm sort of a Clinique Freak.
What kind of shampoo and conditioner do you use? Um… why does it matter?  I mean, seriously.  Are you going to run out and buy a shampoo because some weird girl on the Internet uses it?  Well, to be honest, I'm not sure.
Is your hair short or long? Short.  If you've ever seen the French movie Amélie, that's the sort of hair I have.
Do you like to shop? Yes, but not with people who out-shop me.  I go, I look, I buy, and I don't want to have to wait around for another forty-five minutes afterward.  I'll sit on a bench outside the store and start up a conversation with a total stranger.
What sports do you play? Surely you jest.  I used to be a ballet dancer, once upon a time, but I quit.  Now I just play basketball with my friends sometimes and lose miserably.  I'd rather walk for exercise.
What are you most scared of?  The death of one of my close family members or friends, my death before I'm ready to die… I guess the rest of the stuff I'm just scared of because they could kill me or someone else.
What is your favorite animal? I don't know that I have a favourite.  I volunteer at a zoo, and I've gained an enormous appreciation for so many animals.  I really do like giraffes, though.
What do you do for fun?  Well, obviously, I draw a lot, paint a lot… I act, too, and I love that.  I like to sit around with my friends and contemplate the mysteries of the universe (Why is it that most guys never call when they swear they will?  It's always four days later or something.), I enjoy shopping, listening to music, dancing, volunteering… things like that.  Reading!  I love to read.
What's your favorite food?  Pasta!
Righty, Lefty, Or Ambidextrous?: Righty, but not in politics.
Do you sleep on your stomach or side or back?  My side.  I sort of curl into a little hedgehog-like ball when I sleep.
Do you sleep with stuffed animals? I have more stuffed animals than a taxidermist, lol.
Do you sleep with the lights on or off? Off, most of the time.
What perfume/cologne do you wear?  I don't.  People are forever telling me that I smell good, but I think that's just my soap.
What kind of clothes do you sleep in if any?  I sleep in this really awesome vintage silk kimono from Japan.  It's so comfy.
What's your favorite pop? Hmmm.  I like root beer a lot.
Are you the serious or loud or happy or shy type?  I guess that depends a lot on my Mood of the Moment.  I'm not shy at all, but as far as serious, loud, or happy, that's pretty much a changing thing.  I guess I would say happy and loud.  But then of course I'm not happy when I'm stressed or one of my friends is having a rough time.  Screw it, this is a stupid question.
Do You Like To Drive?: Not really.  It's okay; and I'm not bad at it (anymore), but it's sort of like, oh, blah, I have to drive somewhere…
What kind of car do you want/have? A kiwi green new VW bug!  I don't have it yet, but in a few months I really WILL!
Who do you really hate?  You know, I groan on and on about people who bother me, but I don't know that I really hate very many people.
Do you have any brothers and sisters? A younger sister.  She writes this amazing poetry, but she's very shy and in-the-background.
What's the first thing you notice about the opposite sex? "Is he pale, slender, and all dressed in black?  Hey, he's my type!"  Lol, I'm just kidding.  I notice the way guys treat other people and base my opinions of them on that.
Do you like jewelry? I love jewelry, except for bracelets.  For some reason I don't like things on my wrists… and that includes when other people put their hands around them to hold on to me or whatever.
Would you rather be short or tall?  Well, being a short person, I'm supposed to say, "Yeah - I want to be tall!!"  But in some ways, being short suits me.  So I guess I'm okay the way I am.  But it sure makes it hard to find pants.
Do you have a big nose...or anything?  No!  My nose is TINY.  It's a little button nose, lol.
What's your favorite subject in school?  Journalism, English/Language Arts, History, Spanish, and French.
Do you sleep a lot?  Not really.  I need a normal amount of sleep to function properly and react kindly to other people, but for the most part… you know?  I'm not one of those people who sleeps in until noon every weekend.
Are you a night or morning person?  Morning, which in our society is weird.  I enjoy doing things without other people around, and morning is a very peaceful time.
Can you define love?  Nope, and I won't try.  I think love is something better left undefined.
Do you get along with your parents?  Amazingly, I do.  Very well.  We have a great relationship.  (So I'm not your Tragedy Artist, lol.  My inspiration is never anger with my parents.)
What do you wanna be when your out of college or whatever?  A traditional animator for Disney.
Do you curse a lot? Um.  At times.  I'm not the person you meet who says "fuck" every three words.
Are you ticklish? No, but I'm sensitive.  If you touch me when I'm not expecting it, I jump about five feet.
What's your favorite flower? Daffodils.  They don't look like you need to take them seriously.  Like me.  I guess I have some sort of affinity with daffodils.
Do you believe in love at first sight?  No.  Because I think that love is based on so many factors, that to be in love at "first sight" is ridiculous.  What are you basing it on?  Solely the appearance of the other person.
Who is your favorite cartoon character?  Pluto, Tinker Bell, the Cheshire Cat, Maleficent… I love them all!
What turns you on?  Sorry, you have to find out for yourself if you really want to know.  I'm not trying to be cute, I'm just saying that I'm not going to publicly post that, lol.
Are you wearing nail polish now? Yes.  It's called "Black Tie Optional" by OPI.  Very cool colour, even though my mum says it looks like I've mashed my fingers and toes up in the car door.
What are you thinking about right now? I'm wondering when this thing will end and I can get on with life.  Also, I want to know who is really going to read all this.  And I am thinking about learning how to programme my VCR to tape things, so I can watch The Osbournes next week.
Without looking, what color underwear are you wearing? Black.  If you must know, black with Bashful the dwarf and "Bashful Girl" screen-printed on it.
Who's your favorite teacher? Curt Gerston (congrats on the wedding, Mr. G!), Randy Brown, Laura Bloom, Barbara Greenlee, Joy Patman, and Heidi Fedore.
How many pillows do you sleep with? WHY does anyone want to know?  I ask you.  Seriously.  Okay, four.  Am I done?  I AM!  Wow.  If you made it through that WHOLE thing, then… I dunno.  You must be bored out of your mind.
