My name is Melyssa. I'm from Nampa, Idaho and I like all kinds of swaps. Generally speaking, I'm a generous rater, but if you flake on me, I am merciless. Anyway... (: Feel free to add me on Facebook, but send me a message letting me know you're from Swap-Bot.

I love all kinds of music except for rap and screamo. My favorite genres are rock, alternative, indie, and acoustic. I love the electric guitar and crazy drums, but I'm also in love with acoustic guitar and piano. Some of my favorite bands are: My Chemical Romance, Anberlin, Keane, Aqualung, Five for Fighting, The Airborne Toxic Event, Arctic Monkeys, Coldplay, Rooney, and Muse. I am always plugged into my mp3 player. I'm open to listening to new music. I love to hear what other people like (even if I don't end up liking it myself).

I love all kinds of books! Reading is my favorite past time (besides listening to music). I like fiction the most, but how-to's are my favorite form of non-fiction. I like Fantasy and Sci-Fi the most in fiction, but I also like Literary Fiction. Send me some recommendations!

I love action/adventure type movies, but I like the occasional horror and romance. And I don't just watch big hits. I like smaller films too, like indie/low budget stuff. And it doesn't matter what year it was made. I like oldies too. (: I don't like "gorror" movies or any movie with a lot of psycho murder killing (ie: SAW movies, Hostel, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, etc...). My favorite movie in the romance section is "Meet Joe Black." My favorite in the action/adventure section is "The Matrix." I don't have a favorite horror movie yet, but you never know...
My favorite actors of all time are Cary Grant, Fred Astaire, Bing Crosby, Yul Brynner, Gregory Peck, Hugh Laurie, Ewan McGregor, Gerard Butler, and James McAvoy. My favorite actresses of all time are Doris Day, Rosemary Clooney, Debbie Reynolds, Marjorie Reynolds, Catherin Zeta-Jones, Julia Roberts, and Abigail Breslin.
I love recommendations.

I love crime/"who-dunnit" type shows. I love Law and Order:SVU, CSI:Miami, House M.D., Eleventh Hour, Numb3rs, Dog the Bounty Hunter, Paranormal State, and The Cleaner. But, let's be honest: I'll watch anything. Haha.

I'm not too picky.
I prefer decaffeinated or herbal teas, but I'll drink just about anything.
My favorite brands are Lipton, Tazo, Yogi, and Twinings but I'm VERY open to trying new flavors from any brand. NO loose teas; they're too messy. NO orange, lemon, or other citrus flavored teas, they make me sick. Please send with variety. I like to get a lot of different kinds of tea. (:
