Well hello there. My name is Melinda(yes that bloody well means I'm a girl), my friends just call me Mel. My family is Irish and Slovak, and the longest lineage we have in America goes back only five generations, so I a rather convoluted mixture of Irish and American-English grammar and slang(I apologize in advance for the headaches that may cause). I am currently in the process of applying to college(university), so my updates will most likely be off the charts random. Most of what I read is rather obscure so my stories will mainly be mainstream books and television shows with the random dose of anime and poetry.

Fandoms I write for:

Harry Potter (HarryxDraco, SiriusxRemus, JamesxLilly)

Stargate Atlantis (TeylaxRonon)

NCIS (ZivaxTony AbbeyxTim)

Criminal Minds(SpencerxDerek EmilyxAaron)

Twilight(EdwardxBella)

Stereotypes where the first half applies the second half, well...
I'm NOT LIKE EVERYONE ELSE, so I MUST be a loser.(If someone doesn't care what the 'in' crowd thinks then you can't really label them a loser, can you?)
I SPEAK MY MIND, so I MUST be a bitch.(that would mean EVERY Irishman is, and trust me, you do NOT want to start that fight.)
I'm RELIGIOUS, so I MUST shove my beliefs down your throat.(Yes, religious people can be annoyed with 'preachy' people too.)
I'm DEMOCRAT, so I MUST not believe in being responsible.
I am LIBERAL, so I MUST be gay. (not every liberal is gay and not every republican is straight.)
I'm SOUTHERN, so I MUST be white trash.(how Maryland came to be considered southern I'm still trying to figure out.)
I'm IRISH, so I MUST have a bad drinking problem.(Even the tiniest amount of liquor gives me a stomach ache.)
I'm NATIVE AMERICAN, so I MUST dance around a fire screaming like a savage.(Being Native American does not, I repeat, DOES NOT make you a savage.)
I wear skirts a lot, so I MUST be a slut.(Right...because patchwork warp skirts that hit the floor are slutty.)
I'm YOUNG, so I MUST be naive. (age has nothing to do with nativity.)
I'm a WHITE GIRL, so I MUST be a nagging, steal-your-money kind of girlfriend. (...this one is simply ignorant.)
I HAVE STRAIGHT A'S, so I MUST have no social life.(Most people may not consider church a social life, but I do.)
I DYE MY HAIR CRAZY COLORS, so I MUST be looking for attention.(Ah, no, I am not a the type of person who needs four million friends.)
I DRESS IN UNUSUAL WAYS so I MUST be looking for attention.(Dressing like a hippie DOES not mean I am a societal reject.)
I'm INTO THEATER ART, so I MUST be a homosexual.(Not every person involved in Theatre is gay.)
I WEAR WHAT I WANT, so I MUST be a poser.(Pardon moi, but isn't clothing a form of self-expression?)
I'm GERMAN, so I MUST be a Nazi.(I am not even going to dignify this one with a comment.)
I hang out with GAYS, so I MUST be GAY TOO.(um yeah, nope, sorry, I'm not)
I'm a VIRGIN, so I MUST be a prude.(I don't like crude jokes, end of story, if that makes me a prude, so be it)
I'm SKINNY, so I MUST be anorexic.(not every skinny person is anorexic, I'm Irish for God's sake, do you know how much we eat?)
I support GAY RIGHTS, so I MUST be going to hell.(I'm just not going to deal with this issue. I support Gay rights. You are entitled to your own opinions, whatever they may be.)
Im CHRISTIAN, so I MUST hate gay people.(Yeah, see above.)
I have ARTISTIC TALENT, so I MUST think little of those who don't.(Everyone has a talent, and every talent can be an art.)
I don't like to be in a BIG GROUP, so I MUST be anti-social.(Or have anxiety? Every think of that one?)
I have a DIFFERENT sence of HUMOR, so I MUST be crazy.(No, it's called having an Irish sense of Humour in America...)
I tell people OFF, so I MUST be an overcontrolling bitch.(Pfft, no, just bluntly honest.)
I draw ANIME so I MUST be a freak.(Anime is amazing.)
I'm INTELLIGENT so I MUST be weak.(You want to test that theory?)
I am AMERICAN so I MUST be an obese, loud-mouthed and arrogant.(I am a loud-mouth, yes, but that's not because I'm American; the vast majority of Irishmen have a large mouth, and we often tend to-as the saying goes-open mouth and insert foot.)
I’m a YOUNG WRITER, so I MUST be emo.(Yeah...don't get me started on this one)
I'm a FEMINIST, so I MUST have a problem with sexuality and I want to castrate every man on the earth.(Nope, I just want an equal chance is all.)

I care about the ENVIRONMENT...I MUST be a tree hugging hippy.(actually this one applies.)
I'm SWEDISH so I MUST be a tall blonde blue-eyed lesbian.(I am not blue-eyed,my hair is no longer blonde and I am not a lesbian.)
I like READING, so I MUST be a LONER.(or have realised that books are more interesting that people.)
I'm a PERSON, so I MUST be LABELED.(welcome to the world)
I'm SWEDISH, therefore I MUST be WHITE.(not every Swedish person is white-and no I'm not kidding.)
