I grew up in the Middle East (Abadan, Iran) and Spain (Fuengirola, Costa Del Sol) and finally ended up finishing High School in England (Weymouth, Dorset).

Quotes by J.C. Mells (?)

“Fiction: All vampires are beautiful and youthful. Fact: A Vampire will look like he or she did when they were turned, except that, given the strictly liquid diet, yes they eventually will in time appear unnaturally thin. Think Kate Moss on a diet.”
― J.C. Mells, Pierced

“I can read and write in nine different languages, two of which are dead ones and two fictional ones. I can solve complex mathematical equations in my head; and if the government even knew of my existence I’d probably be hired to sit in a locked room and crack codes or something.”
― J.C. Mells, Pierced

“A large portion of my day is devoted to obsessively surfing the Internet. I'm addicted to knowledge, to be filled in on things I should’ve been taught growing up but never was. Give me a couple of days on most subjects, I will become an obsessed expert — guaranteed. My other talents, for lack of a better word, that can be easily attributed to Asperger’s include but aren’t limited to: photographic memory, polyglotism, an aversion to the color white (only contextually though) and some shades of purple, as well as a penchant for counting bathroom and kitchen tiles. Then there’s bipolar disorder.”
― J.C. Mells, Pierced
