... Hello.

An introduction.

Because everyone has to introduce themselves at some point, right?

Well, not really, but eh...

My name is Melissa Kartini. This must be like, what, my tenth blog on this site? But since I started using LiveJournal two years ago, I've been pretty dead here on Blogspot - and I'm still using LJ, it's just way too addictive for me to completely give up. I'm back here, though, since due to some problems, I had to resort to locking most of my posts on LJ. There has been a few changes since the last time I used this site, but not much...

Hm, anyway, I've just (grudgingly, mind you) turned twenty. There's not much to know about me. I'm a very quiet person, I like to keep to myself a lot, but I do like spending time with friends too, whenever I get the chance to, since university usually separates us due to clashes in our schedules and the amount of assignments (and exams, for my friends). I like anime/manga and writing fanfiction *heh, is a total nerd, lalala* but I'll try to keep those things to a bare minimum on this blog - I already spaz about them on my LJ. I have a slight obsession with the colour pink. I have two brothers, and two cats, named Mimi and Mamat. I'm horrible at expressing myself.

I'm studying for my Bachelor of Journalism, and I have about 2 and a half years left till I complete my course. Though I'm studying Journalism, it's not really my ambition to be a journalist. I've always wanted to be a novelist, but... you know, the income isn't very steady, so I opted for a safer (though still shaky) route.

What else?

Well, I do like drawing sometimes. I might post some of my random drawings here from time to time. I usually draw, surprise, surprise, anime/manga characters. Here's one of my drawings:

Yes, that is a guy. Yes, that is Ulquiorra Cifer from Bleach. Yes, I am so damaged. And yes, I like to amuse myself, rofl.

But, eh, ain't like this is the first time he has worn a dress.

The drawing isn't done, though. I'm currently editing it, adding more details and ridding it of some errors - notice the sad ass tray? Yeaaaah. Not done. Might post the finished version here some time. Maybe.

Ah, right, back to the introduction - see, I get totally carried away when it comes to anime/manga-related stuff - I despise people that don't respect someone else's beliefs or opinions. It is just plain rude. Everyone is allowed to have their own beliefs and opinions. Shoving your view down their throats is certainly not going to win you any friends, or supporters, mind you. Another thing I hate - drama. I despise drama in my life. I try to avoid it as much as possible. I also hate going out late, I prefer to stay at home - yeah, I'm so fun, hehe. I don't drink, I don't smoke, I don't dance, I don't like talking about relationships and guys, I don't like parties, I don't like clubbing, oh yes, I'm a bundle of fun ;)

I don't usually talk about myself on the net, so don't expect many updates from me.

...

Till next time, then.
