:MAIN POINTS IN BOLD:
six months can do a lot to a person.
i still live in redding, california. (1 year 3 months now)
i have a very lovely family in colorado.
at this moment in time i’m in transition. “from one thing to another” the real definition tells me. the only problem is that i have a hard time figuring out where i was and an even harder time deciding where i am going.
but everyday i have beautiful people around me telling me that i’m ok. guess i need some reassurance that i truly am a good person every once and a while.
i claim to be am a photographer, however, my camera is broken.
i claim to be am a musician, but i am only in the beginning stages.
i claim to be am a songwriter, yet the words don’t seem to flow.
i claim to be am a lover, but my heart still has a lot of growing to do.
those are all my claims to life. those are the reasons i was created. therefore i attempt to blossom a little more in each area everyday.

:MAIN POINTS IN BOLD:
It has almost been a year since this pages was changed and it is about time that the new me is made known.
My name is Melodie. I used to be Eidolem, TheMelkerina, LindeRoquen, Puleng, TheUnEndingSong, and a plethora of other names. But now I’m okay with just Melodie.
I turn 20 years old in just ten short days. On my birthday I will be starting to work for an organization in downtown Redding, California directing a youth camp for children with rough families. They all live in a nasty apartment complex and don’t have a whole lot to do but get into trouble this summer. So we’ll be teaching them new things and most of all getting to show them love from heaven.
Love from heaven.
It’s simple.
I feel as if I have adopted each one of these precious children. Not only at the apartments, but also in the juvenile hall, on the streets, and wherever else “at-risk” kids are found.
Aside from the drama and problem solving of work, I’m a musician and photographer.
I’m sure that you’ll soon notice as you scroll through my blog that I love to tell stories about the new friends I meet all the time. In fact, I made a new one just last week. He sits on the same corner everyday in downtown redding. Every time I walk by he tells me a joke letting me know that “laughter is the best medicine!” And every time I drive past and yell “hello willie!” he gets a big grin on his face and waves in the opposite direction not knowing where my voice is coming from. Oh yes, and this week in the San Francisco I met Rodney. He’s a flight attendant for United. He’s Hawaiian to the core. He sat down in the food court at my table, while I was journaling about the funny travelers around me. The conversation started as I began to interrogate him with at least 10 questions about his life. A friend of his walked up and interrupted the conversation asking Rodney in a very feminine voice “did you see where that very cute flight attendant boy went? I think we’re on the same flight and we need to get to know each other!” Rodney pointed to a restaurant on the other side of the court. We chuckled a bit about the interruption and went on talking about random airport and flight attendant subjects and then he said he had to get back to his desk to do paperwork before he was assigned to a flight. And our exchange ended for the day.
New friends are everywhere. You just have to open your eyes and most times even your mouth…
Well, I guess this page is all supposed to be about me. Back to the point of being a musician and photographer.
My music is going to change the world and bring people closer to an encounter with heaven. At the moment I have many half written songs and barely any skills on the guitar, but the dream is still alive and growing.
I also plan to make the world more beautiful with my photography. You are reading about a woman dreaming to be the next “Annie Liebovitz”. A hard dream to obtain, but she started somewhere too. She didn’t just pop out of her mom as one of the best photographer alive today…it took time… pretty much I’m preaching to myself right now.
Well, I guess that’s enough information you need to know about me.

I love to hike. I would bike, but it was stolen. I love walking around downtowns. I have invested much of my finances, time, and emotions into Starbucks (aka, basecamp or the darkroom). I tackle unsuspecting little brothers and pretend I’m a ninja. I drink an abnormal amount of Earl Grey tea. I am an official people watcher. I eat Chipotle like there is no tomorrow. Some days I get in my car and drive around, just because. If it rains, I dance in it.
If you pull up to a Saab named Willie at a red light, you will see a girl with slightly odd looking hair making really weird faces…she may just so happen to be singing and you may want to open your window to hear the melodic voice of an angel.
Oh yeah, and if you see a camera in my hands, please act normal…don’t make a funny face and for sure don’t run away. You may end up in a book one day.
But in the midst of this lack of normality-I’m really just a little girl stuck in a giant’s body.
Please make sure that you come equipt with a good cup of Earl Grey. It’s a must to enter the world of eidolem.
