If you were an animal, which do you think you'd be? Why? What about me?
I thought I'd be something cool, until my friends told me I'd be a pony. A PONY. their logic was that ponies are assholes. I really don't know, now. for you... a panther. very sleek, poised and careful, but shouldn't be tested.

what's a song you can play on the violin? you never play for anyone so how can we know how you are lol
haha, uhhhhh. I don't know! classical music isn't quite as simple when it comes to song titles.
Do you believe in a universal moral code, beyond all specifics and pieces of each individual's sense of what is right and wrong?
maybe. we lived once without one, right? it came from somewhere, these ideas of right and wrong that are (for the most part) agreeable amongst us. hmmmMmmMmmMmm.
Would you consider yourself a risk taker? In what respect(s)?
I'm so scared of settling to the point that I'll run away from something good for me if I believe I'm playing it too safe. risks are good, essential for me. but every so often they just turn into fuck ups.
What scares you about the/your future?
money, losing people, growing old, what if, regret, the economy, the environment, addictions, cancer, the end.
To you, what is an artist? By this definition, would you consider yourself one?
it has a lot to do with creation rather than duplication (of images, ideas, etc). there's an incredible difference between an artist and simply a good painter. like the ocean and a puddle. and no, I wouldn't consider myself one.
How do you determine your own personal "favourites"? Is it a process to be consciously worked on, or is it something that is naturally there from within?
it just happens! I can usually tell when something is going to be a favourite right away, and time just confirms it.
Who was the last person you met, and what was your first impression of them? Would you like to see them again? Why or why not?
some girl, I can't remember her name, who is staying in the same residence as me. I wouldn't really care to see her again, since she was completely full of attitude with her mom and the tour guide. bye bye.
What makes you upset? Angry? Sad?
I used to think I knew, until certain tragic things would happen that surely would provoke a typical emotion and yet nothing would happen in me. on the other hand, mundane things like a simple look can have me in ruins. moment by moment, I surprise myself.
To you, what is an artist? By this definition, would you consider yourself one?
to me, an artist is somebody who creates not duplicates. there is an incredible difference between an artist and a good painter, like the ocean and a puddle. and no, I wouldn't consider myself one!
To you, what is an artist? By this definition, would you consider yourself one?
I don't exactly know what an artist is, but I know that it has a great deal to do with creation. I do, however, think that there is an incredibly large and vast space between an artist and a good painter. people get them confused. and no, I wouldn't consider myself one.
Are you a good person? How are you sure?
I've been struggling with this question long, long before it appeared here now. any ounce of belief that I am is difficult to sustain when I only hear otherwise. so really, I'm not sure.
is lindsey your new best friend?
I don't know what you mean by 'new'! we've been close for over 4 years.
What is something that I have taught you, if anything at all, that you think is worth mentioning?
we've never actually *really* spoken! we mainly converse through questions on this thing and get to know each other through our responses, haha. but it's a start! you seem like a really sweet girl, who I'm sure I could learn a few things from.
Do you believe that the world would continue to exist unperceived?
interesting. I haven't given it enough thought to make a decision! but maybe now I will.

Would you recommend doing ib English? How did you do? Are 6's and 7s possible?
I would highly recommend it if you enjoy english. I adored that class. It not only taught me a lot of useful techniques and tips when dealing with any and all things english, but it changed my entire thought process. It was good, though. the way my brain functions when I'm in that environment feels the most natural and effortless, like that's the way it should always be. It's when I feel at my best. but that's not going to be the same for everybody, there were a few that dreaded stepping into that room. absolutely 6's and 7's are possible! they hype it up too much, I think. I got 7's on both my mock exams. you just have to put the work in, of course. but it won't feel like work if you enjoy it. I got 90% the first semester and 93% the second.

Who is your favourite fictional character?
all I can think about is Peter Griffin, mmmaahaha. what a riot.
What is something that I have taught you, if anything at all, that you think is worth mentioning?
we're not close enough for me to mention anything specific, but judging from what I've seen and read, I feel as if there's a lot I could learn from you. fair?
What is a flaw of mine, in your opinion?
I can't say I know you well enough to pick out any! which I'm a little grateful for, haha. I hate picking people apart to their face.
Do you believe that everyone is a little bisexual, or curious at the bare minimum?
giving it some thought as to what you might be into is perfectly healthy. I wouldn't say that everyone is a little bisexual, but I wouldn't exactly say that someone is 100% straight/gay, either. love is love.

Wednesday, July 20, 2011
What are some things that are important to you?
relationships, well-being, adventure, risks, experience, positivity, flow and acceptance. just some of 'em!
Describe an ideal Sunday.
spaghetti and meatballs and delicious Italian cuisine at my Nonna's house in her basement, the entire clan seated at one long (very loud) table. every single Sunday until she passed, she made sure we learned the meaning and importance of family. since then, my grandma's taken the responsibility of carrying on the tradition. I hope that someday I will, too!
Monday, July 18, 2011
What is something people don't seem to know about you?
anybody who knows me admits to being intimidated by me before knowing me. which is silly stuff! I don't bite, and that's for everyone to know.
What is something that I have taught you, if anything at all, that you think is worth mentioning?
the importance of your mind taking a backseat.
Saturday, July 16, 2011
What is your favourite tv show?
I'm deeply attached to Sex and the City, hahaha. Dexter's always a good one, too!
Friday, July 15, 2011
Have you ever ridden a horse? and if so, did you like it?
I have! only twice. the first time I was 5 and it decided to fuck the path and run away and I steered it back like a boss. the second time was last year in Quebec and I was so ridiculously hungover and unwilling to learn french. the horse's name was also Tequila, which was fitting! haha, horses are alright I guess.
Harry Potter opens today. If you were going to cast a magic spell, what spell would you cast?
have no interest in Harry Pooper, sorry

What do you love most about the country you live in?
our pride!! seen through anything we do (olympics, hockey, BEER) I fucking love being apart of this beautiful country and being able to say that I'm Canadian. I didn't realize it until I spent a month in Europe, holy hell did I miss this wonderful piece of land.
What is a quote/saying you love and/or live by?
spoken by my mommy and never forgotten, "you get out of a relationship what you put into it." most powerful impact any saying's ever had on me, fo sho.

What has been the best part about your summer so far?
I'm not sure! probably just finding contentment in the moment.
Monday, July 11, 2011
Do you believe in the one for now, or the one forever?
I believe in the one for now, and the one from now on. It doesn't have to be one or the other, I think both can happen.
What do you think would happen if apes took over? #apeswillrise
they'd look at my nostrils and adopt me.

haha, whoa! uhmm. height: 5'7"ish
I haven't been measured for the others in a little over a year, but at the time I was 32' 22' 34'. I don't think I've changed much since then, so hopefully that answers your question?!
What's the most fun thing you have going on this week?
my weeks don't consist of much anymore! basically work and yoga. it's fun for me, though!
Thursday, July 7, 2011
If you had access to a time machine, where and when would be the first place you travel to?
10 years from now, just to make sure I made it.
What's the longest you've ever gone without a bath or shower?
a week, haha. so disgusting. my ovarian cyst burst and I was in bed the entire time on codeine, absolutely wiped.
Wednesday, July 6, 2011
if you could pick one city to live in, anywhere in the world, where would you like to be?
for how long?! I'd like to live in a lot of places over the years, just temporarily. I'm not sure where I'd like to settle down, though. somewhere close to home.
if you could pick one city to live in, anywhere in the world, where would you like to be?
probably Ottawa. before it was trendy as fuck.
Would you rather do something you love for a living and have a lower salary or do something you don't like very much but are good at and have a higher salary?
this is tough, and people are lying if they say it isn't! I would love to do something that I enjoy for a living, but having enough money is important these days. It would depend on how low/high the salaries are.
Tuesday, July 5, 2011
Where would you like to spend your retirement?
I'd love to open up my own shop/cafe before I retire. I don't want to waste away, I'd like to stay productive and keep my heart invested into something I love.

MONTREAAAALLL YEAAAAAHHHHHHH ... and pretty much everything else that's to come the rest of this year. change is in effect, and I'm glad. I need a new scene.

If you could go back in time 10 years and tell your younger self something, what would it be?
probably what my mom often tells me. "don't do what I did."
Are you a morning or night person?
hmm, I don't know! it differs. I'd like to say night, but sometimes I can be a very sleepy bear.
Would you rather be hurt physically or emotionally? Why?
physically! I have a very high pain tolerance. the latter, not so much.
Thursday, June 30, 2011
What family member are you most like? Explain it!
god, such a fair mixture. crazy and obnoxious and emotional like my mom. secretive and cold and put together like my dad. my parents are complete opposites, literally. my mom is fur, my dad stone. my mom colour, my dad black and white. my mom was a band guy lover, rock n roller, drug experimenting free spirit -- my dad was a cop. hahaha. I'm somewhere in there, for sure.

god, such a fair mixture. crazy and obnoxious and emotional like my mom. secretive and cold and put together like my dad. my parents are complete opposites, literally. my mom is fur, my dad stone. my mom colour, my dad black and white. spontaneity vs. order. and I'm somewhere in there!
If you had to choose 1 of your friends or family members to live with, who would it be and why? Do you think it would enrich your relationship?
my sister! because I did once. she's been out of the house for a long time now, but I got the chance to live with her for a month in Europe again. we just... work. it's really, really nice. our relationship enriches by the day as we grow older and more understanding of each other. so absolutely!
What do you tell yourself regularly?
"you'll never see these people again" is a big one, haha. but sometimes... I do.
Why do you get out of bed every morning?
because I have to! or else I'd stay there all day, get fired from my job, and learn nothing. wouldn't that be nice.
What is something tangible that scares you? What is something intangible that scares you? Why do you think these fears exist? Do you think you will ever overcome them?
I'm really, really afraid of the dark. that's the main one. I'm not even embarrassed to admit it now! I used to be, though. anywhere. even a familiar place, my chest grows heavy and I get panicky, nervous. even if it's for a moment, turning the lights off when I leave a room. I need to have a trail of light ahead of me. it's an awful feeling. you won't see it if you're with me, but it's under wraps constantly! this gut twisting feeling, my steps become a little quicker and my eyes dart in every direction. UGH. I can't even think about it. like, if my lights shut off right NOW. I'd die.
I was trying to figure this out before, trying to figure out where it came from, and this one memory popped up. my house was pretty weird for a while when I was younger, paranormal occurrences were regular. shit got really bad, heavy, and we had 2 exorcisms performed on the house before it was okay. most of it happened to my mom and my sister, and in my sister's room (my room, now). anyway, it was in the middle of all that, and my sister was at home babysitting my brother and I. we were all in my sister's room at night, just doing nothing. she left the room to go get something, and my brother got up to leave too. before exiting, he shut off the lights and closed the door, leaving me inside her room. I remember being so terrified! I didn't know what was in there, and that was the worst part. I was screaming, crying and banging on the door begging him to let me out. but he wouldn't! My sister eventually heard me and let me out, giving my brother hell. but yeah, it could have been that. but I don't know! I don't know if I'll overcome it, but I hope I do!
What do you do when you feel down?
pretend I'm the singer of a band and that I wrote all these sad songs that I listen to hahaha I'm not kidding. shit. makes me feel better, because I know I didn't write them - and then all of a sudden I'm not so alone!
Why do you regret the things that you regret, if you have any regrets at all?
I always regret things at first, and then I look back and I'm like, "well shit, that really needed to happen."
Have you ever felt emotionally naked?
no, I can't say I have. I do a pretty good job at keeping a handle on my emotions, some of 'em never surfacing at all. good or bad, you tell me!
Wednesday, June 29, 2011
What are your thoughts on the death penalty? Do you agree with it? Why or why not?

Under what circumstances do you feel most inspired? And least?
most: alone. absolutely alone.
least: opposite ^
Respond: "I need to be alone to see if I need to be with you."
you don't realize how insanely appropriate this is for me right now. only understandable once you're the one saying it.

When you were little, where was the best hiding place when playing hide'n seek?
ugh I was always so bad at that. underneath a chair.
are you in love? if so whats it like
I wouldn't say that I'm in love, because I feel as if it's grown way passed that, onto loving. I never thought I'd say it, but there's a difference between the two. and the real one is the best thing that's ever happened to me.
Have you ever been told that you've changed? How did it feel? How did you react?
Kind of. It was in grade 8, when I really rooted myself. Established the Teresa I am today. with my teacher's encouragement, I started reading and writing a lot. I really started expanding on my passions and abilities, and my friends at the time didn't like it. I remember: "you think you're better than everyone else because you read books." I felt sad that they couldn't understand. However, that change (for the better) had to happen for me to ever be happy with myself. Haven't looked back since!

What are the top 3 qualities you look for in the opposite sex? And oppositely, what would you say is the biggest dealbreaker?
I look for a sense of humour, an open mind, and experience (maturity, essentially). biggest dealbreaker, hmmmm. just don't be a sleaze!
What's the best thing that has happened to you so far in 2011?
I feel as if everything exciting is to come.
what's your favourite song and/or (musical) artist currently?
lotsa Foo Fighters lately. and Bright Eyes, but there's always Bright Eyes.
What was the last thing you did that took courage? What was the last thing you did that you regret doing?
it took courage for me to kick this guy out of my house last night but I regret not kicking his bitch out too.

what is more motivating, the thought of success or the fear of failure?
great question. I'm going to say the thought of success, it's way more positive than the latter!
would you ever experiment with a 3 some just tooo discover what it feels like from both directions/same time?
no, sex means more to me than that. one on one is best, I don't wanna share/be shared.

What always makes you laugh? Alternatively, what always makes you cry?
everything makes me laugh. hilarious moments, TERRIBLE moments. life can be really, really funny if you let it be! I'll have to say the most consistent is my sister. she made me puke at the dinner table once from making me laugh so hard. then of course we laughed even harder, it was painful. I have to talk myself out of peeing in my pants most times, too. funny, funny fucking girl.
the scene in Candy when the baby's a still born. LOSE IT. always cry. I actually cry very easily, and often. just secretly.

What is the weirdest thing you will ever admit to having done in the past?
I was in grade 9 and I really didn't want to go to school. I'm terrible at faking sick because I'm an awful liar and my mom always knows, so I tried thinking of ways to actually make myself sick. I was half asleep through all of this, in my bed. I decided that it would be a good idea to punch myself in the stomach, and that it would probably make me sick. So I punched myself as hard as I could in the stomach. I ended up going to school.
How was your birthday!?
It was ... eye opening in the worst and best ways, I guess I'll say! there's good ones and bad ones, right?

what is your dream(s)/goal(s) in life and are you perusing them?
I just want to make money doing something I love to do, and one day start a family. those are the big ones. I've already started down the path of the first one, but no babies for me yet! I'm really enjoying just going with the flow right now, and doing what feels right in a moment. I only get to be young once, after all! my pursuit is a long one, and it's way too early to worry. one step at a time.

If you could have any one thing in the world, what would it be?
what a question! I don't even know where to start thinking about this, I can't.
You said you are going to school for English, so I am assuming you like to write? What do you like to write about? ps, you are a VERY insightful person. it is very intriguing!
haha, thank you! :) I always like your questions, just so you know. I do like to write! I write mostly on the side just for me, sometimes about real life and sometimes not. I don't know, I'm an amateur! I've just always enjoyed it a lot. I'll take creative writing classes in uni, but I'm mostly excited for the books. literature... mmMmMmmMmmm don't get me started.

which parent are you more like?
my mom, I would have to say. anybody that has met her can confirm! she's little and loud, she has a strong personality and a nurturing heart. she's had a wicked past, but takes in life with an even more wicked sense of humor. my dad is cold all of the time, and anybody that *really, really* knows me knows the ice cold front I can put up. there's a good mixture of both of my parents in here, but definitely more my mom.

what is something about yourself you'd like to improve?
my health! a more balanced and nutritious diet, and more trips to the gym.
do you ever have reoccurring dreams? if so, what's the most common one?
already answered this, ya boob.
Sunday, May 29, 2011
do you ever have reoccurring dreams? if so, what's the most common one?
oh lala, thanks for shootin' it back! yes, actually.
I have just one, at least once a week, and it's been reoccurring for a long time now. I have a dream that I'm placed in front of a complete stranger, and we're standing face to face in the middle of a crowd, like a circle made for a fight. It's a different person every time, and I never know who they are, but I'm punching them in the face. except every single vengeful punch I throw, it loses it's strength as soon as it touches the person's cheek, so I barely even brush them. I'm trying over and over and over and over to do damage to their face, but every punch turns out light as a feather. the person is laughing hysterically at me, and the entire crowd is laughing, too. "she can't even throw a punch, look at her, watch this." stuff like that. It's the most frustrating feeling, ugh!
if someone told you they'd pay you $5000, would you fuck them?
no! I wouldn't. the money would be nice, but it wouldn't be worth the reputation and the feeling of my self respect going down the drain.
do you ever have reoccurring dreams? if so, what's the most common one?
do you ever have reoccurring dreams? if so, what's the most common one?
So im really scared to get in uni. what type of averages do you think you need, lets say for a medical science course. Im totally freaking out that having a 70/80 average isnt good enough :(
you're asking the wrong person!! I know nothing about that kinda stuff, I'm just going for English haha. sorry I can't help!
You give such good answers to everything! I like that :)
well thank you!! I'm glad I amuse somebody on this thing.
Do you live more in the past or the present?
I always find my mind stuck in the past, it makes sense to me. what is the present and where is it? a second, a day, a hairline. NOW. tell me if you know, honestly. and the future... well, who knows if there even is one. is it a predetermined design or a blank white slate we unfold onto, making our own patterns? everything immediately becomes the past, if you think about it. it happened and you know it, it's safe back there. I like that.

I don't find that specific people make me a better person, but my love for them does. realizing you love a person, romantically, friendly, whichever way, already sparks enough change inside of you for the better. it makes you want to do good things, it's weird.
is it bad that I am nearly 17 and havent had a boy kiss me
not. at. all. everybody goes at their own pace! and I truly believe that good things come to those who wait. just don't rush, please. do me a favor, stranger, and wait for a gentleman.
who is the love of your life?
this question puzzles me once I actually look at it! the only constant love I've had my entire life is from my mother. romantically, I've had one love in my life which bloomed about 3 and a half years ago.

I want to hear your story. I want to hear about your life and the things you have had to deal with to get where you are today.
too much, too much. nobody will know but me.
You have a very open mind for a person your age, I don't know you but it's great to see! From what I have read you seem like a beautiful person inside and out
wow, thank you!! this is such a nice compliment. :)
If not where you are now, where would you like to be at this moment?
I'm happy being in my bed watching movies right now, but I wish I had cuddles and canoodles.

Who's your favorite relative and why are they your favorite?
my sister and my brother. there's no difference between the two.
despite the 10 year age gap, my sister is my best friend before anybody else. when I was younger, she felt the need to take care of me. she spoiled the crap out of me, and has been there for me through everything. now that I'm older and I can take care of myself, our relationship has grown a great deal, expanding onto adult truths as we both try to deal with them at different times. she moved to Ottawa about 6 years ago, which was devastating to let her go, but we still talk every single day. she knows me, and I know her. that's all I can say. she's a sister, a second mom, a soul-mate. I'm lucky as hell!
my brother is just over a year older than me, so we were incredibly close growing up. we mostly terrorized each other, or we'd team up and terrorize our mother. we've covered for each other when the other one decides to have a party, and he's gone ape shit when he believes a guy's hurt me. even during a family issue, we need to know where each other is at first. almost every time, we're in the exact same boat with our feelings and struggles. my brother puts up a hard and deceiving exterior most of the time, but I know he has one of the biggest and best hearts in the world. he's a giant and heart shattering softie underneath. I know this, because I do the exact same thing. most people say that a father is the first man in a girl's life, but for reasons I won't reveal, my brother is for me. and he'll always be my favorite man on earth!
after all of this, the 3 of us together have the most unbreakable bond I'll ever know.

you applied to 13 unis?
haha, it's a bit of a story. I applied to 4 colleges, thinking that I wanted to go to college for business. I got into all of them immediately. realizing that I was perfectly able to go to uni, and that I've always loved English, I had made a huge mistake. with college and something as safe as business, I was settling with lowering myself because it felt secure. I wasn't going to do what I really loved to do, because I thought it was a risk. I said, "fuck that!!" I freaked out, because the deadline to apply to uni was long gone, so my guidance counselor said I could probably make it for late acceptance. I applied to 9 universities, thinking I wouldn't get into the majority of them, and I was willing to take anything I could get. And then I got them all. early. I'm an indecisive and over-analytical freak, clearly.

How do you keep so happy?
my favorite and most effective thing to say to myself is "you'll never see these people again", and for when the going gets tough I remind myself I'm stronger than I think.
Name something great about your week thus far!
shit!! It's all to come. I'm signing up for hot yoga with a gal pal on friday and I'm super excited. taking care of myself feels so GOOD lately!
What is your proudest accomplishment?
getting into every school I applied to, I guess. allllll 13 of them, hahaha.
how do you handle people you don't like/get along with in face-to-face situations?
I'm polite, but not fake.
you cheated on someone? wow , brave to admit it how long was this?? And what made u do that
It was a complicated situation, and only one person who I trust very much knows the truth of it. no one else bothered to ask, not even my best friends. isn't it funny how people assume they know the truth? I was never a cheater in the first place and I still don't consider myself one, so it was a first and last for me.
Tuesday, May 24, 2011
What was the last thing that you discovered about yourself?
that I'm possessive over myself, if that makes sense.
Who inspires you the most?
people don't really inspire me, to tell you the truth. they never have. it's more instances, moments, revelations, questions. simplicity****

What is the most awkward thing your parents have caught you doing?
Do you really want me to answer this?
if you're unsure about your faith then why did you get a religious tattoo?
My tattoo is centered around faith, not religion. They're completely different from each other.

Who is your best friend and how did you meet him/her?
OMG MARY. We've known each other our whole lives (well, kindergarten on) but we both thought the other one hated the other, so we didn't become close until grade 10 (?) it's ridiculous, I know.
What is something you admire and/or value most in another person? Do you think you possess this quality within yourself, or is it one you wish you did?
Jessica Guyon. She is one of the most admirable people I know! She has such a good sense of people, and she can see auras. She is so in touch with her spirituality and intuitive nature, I envy her. She's just so open to everything! She has a Christian fish tattoo and I saw her reading a book on Buddhist practices. She's looking for answers, and it's amazing. Too many kids our age think that they've got it all figured out, and what they figured out is that there's nothing to any of this. Yet, none of them had bothered doing any research whatsoever. I'm really learning from Jessica, because of this. I have the capability, everyone does, of maintaining an open mind. It just takes practice! I think it's the most admirable quality in a person, if you ask me.
what's the first song you choose on your ipod currently?
My iPod's been dead for a while and I'm too lazy to charge it, haha. So usually I just YouTube Gaga's new song Judas..... :$

What is the hardest thing you have had to overcome in your life?
honestly speaking, I've had a pretty good life. I've had my tough parts like anyone else, but they've all been relatively easy to get through. I haven't experienced anything truly that devastating, yet. I count myself very lucky!
who was the last person you met?
A new resident at the senior home I work at. It's awful, but I can't remember her name at the moment! Aw, she is so sweet and smiley.
Saturday, April 16, 2011
who is your favorite person, at the moment?
that's tough, I love everybody in my life right now for different reasons.
Would you rather hang out with a small group of friends or a large group?
almost always, a small group. It's just more intimate and enjoyable. a large group is fun sometimes, too!

When I read that (vvv) I thought you meant literally taking a wrong turn on the road. o.O derp.
LOL NO. THE ROAD THAT IS MY LIFE.
Wednesday, April 13, 2011
What is the one thing you fear most?
Realizing I took a wrong turn somewhere in the road when it's too late to turn back: ending up with a ring from the wrong man, pursuing the "safe" career, settling for less because it's easier. I'm terrified of being haunted by lost possibilities.
Just out of curiosity, um, do you do drugs or smoke?
I don't do drugs, but I'll smoke a cigarette on occasion.

Do you believe in second chances? When, would you say, are the times when they should not be granted? Why?
Generally, I do believe in second chances. People need room to make mistakes, even me. It's a part of life. Although, I can see how sometimes it could be difficult to grant them. The times they should not be granted? I'm not sure, it's completely situational.

Did you also get accepted to UofT? Are you still going to Ryerson? Whats the deal?
I got accepted into both, and it was narrowed down to the two. Well, I chose Ryerson! Sorry, I know I'm confusing.

what's your favorite Brand New song?
ugh! It seems like there's one for every single occasion. overall, either Jesus Christ or Not The Sun.
why devil and god?
If I could write an album, it would be Devil and God. The lyrics, the instrumental, the theme, the mood. Of course it wouldn't be the same without Jesse Lacey. Every single song is brilliant, it rocks my fuckin' world.

Have you ever hated your life, in general? What did you hate about it? Have you found away around the hatred? What did you do to rid the hate? What will you do to prevent the hatred from coming back, if you've ever experienced it before?
I hated my life through most of elementary school. I had absolutely no backbone or confidence, so I was taken advantage of a lot. I just wanted to please everyone else, and in return I got stomped on and back stabbed. It made me more upset than I could bear at times, but I never showed it. I had always just convinced myself it was me who was wrong. Little girls can be so cruel and jealous, and I'll never forget that. I was unaware of it then, but now it's crystal clear. I stood up for myself in grade 9, after my boyfriend forced me to, and that was the beginning of an entire new (happy) me. To prevent those feelings from coming back, well, I moved to Bateman.
If you have one, why is your favourite colour your favourite colour? Favourite song? Band? Album? Painting? Piece of art? Place? Object?
colour: purple
song: whether it's the original or the acoustic version, Everlong by Foo Fighters. I just... I can't say anything else.
band: Brand New
album: The Devil and God are Raging Inside Me
painting: I feel like I've seen it before, but I can't remember it.
piece of art: Winged Victory of Samothrace
place: home, as it changes.
object: my moleskine journal.
what is some philosphy that you have received that has truly helped you or changed your life in away?
I was going through a tough time once, and I was basically questioning whether I was a good friend or not. I will never, ever forget what my mom told me. She said, "You get out of a relationship what you put into it." Those words struck such a deep chord. It answered my question, and flicked a little switch inside of me. Suddenly it all made sense, and I've had this new passion for relationships ever since. Not even with friends, but family and lovers too.
Have you ever thought about starting a romantic relationship with a best friend? What turned you onto or off of the idea of it?
I've definitely thought about it, but it was short-lived. I would never want to jeopardize a strong friendship over a shot at romance. Usually when it fails, it's difficult to get back into an innocent friendship. I wouldn't want to push the limits.
I'm so glad you love Mrs. Hrysko, everyone always said they hated her and I always LOVED her. We just got each other, I love her humour so much. She also came into winners all the time when I worked there, she's such a glamour girl.
haha, she was so ridiculous (coming from a fellow ridiculous person). I don't understand who could hate her! no wonder, she always has the most fashionista outfits. all colour coordinated and perfectly matched, I miss that woman.
least favorite teacher in bateman? most favorite teacher? who did you have for datamanagement?
I really did not like Mrs. Broe. She was the worst English teacher I've ever had, and she was slightly nuts. Going from her to IB was like black and white! I really, really liked Hrysko and Ellement. Ha, both history teachers! I just got along really well with both of them, and I felt like they understood me. Mr. Muir was incredible in terms of his teaching style. He made me love math, and I got an awesome mark in his class. I had Grinton for data!
im just a munchkin in gr 11 but you dont need to know who i am. just be happy that you matter to a stranger, cause you do!
Aw, I really wish you'd tell me. Maybe you could be an inspiration to me as well! Thank you, though :)
Sunday, April 3, 2011
you truly inspire me. it's a little anomalous but i have no issue with it because i think if theres anyone to be inspired by, being inspired by you is a good choice - you're a good person, you have morals, and you dont give up on yourself
this completely lifted my spirits. no one's ever told me I inspired them before! I feel honored/totally unworthy, thank you. who are you?!

What makes you you?
It's funny, because there's been a reoccurring theme in my life lately. In the books I read, the people I know, the questions I have. The concept of identity can be such a crisis. I couldn't tell you what makes Teresa, Teresa. I'm not unhappy with that, however. I've only had 17 years with myself, and my slate is still very clean. I strongly believe that experiences shape a large portion of a person, and I haven't nearly gone through enough to know what's rooted deeply underneath it all. However, I'm grateful for the time that I have left to learn about myself (hopefully it's a large number of years!) Come back to me again with this question, and on my death bed I'll tell you what part of Teresa I've carried with me until the end.
What does "Never Settle" mean to you?
Applying to college for a general business diploma, having a mental breakdown, and then applying to university last minute to study English language and literature. And then getting accepted.
Do what your heart really wants you to do, and fuck everything else.

you are beautiful and have a great personality. what boy wouldnt want you!
ahh, thank you! :$ aren't boys just disappointing? I'll be holdin' out for a good one.

ahh, thank you! boys are seriously disappointing. I'll be holdin' out for a good one.
What is it like to say goodbye to a lover for you?
It's a difficult process. For me, it's no use trying not to think about them. I let them flood my mind still, and I carry them everywhere I go. It's torture, really. Some I miss more than I can bear, and others slip away a little smoother. I carry them until the memories become foggy, and then all of a sudden I can't remember simple things like what they smell like. When I start to forget, that's when they're gone. It varies on the lover, of course.
What is it like to say goodbye to a lover for you?
It's a difficult process. I always end up carrying them around with me for a long time afterward (in my mind), all the while missing them more than I can bear. But then bit by bit, they just slip away from me. It's an art I'll never master!
how often do you lie?
I think honesty is just easier, so I tell the truth whenever I can! I have nothing to lie about. like everyone else, however, I'm not perfect.
What is sexy, to you?
Sometimes it surprises me what I find sexy! Haha. Doing mundane things in the nude together, for one. Cooking, watching tv, brushing our teeth, showering... (obviously). It's goofy, but it's shameless. And that's sexy.

understandable, if I could do something I honestly would. Trust a stranger! k leaving it at that. sowwy if bother.
haha, it happens! I'm 17 years old with heartache over a boy, who would have thought? you've been very kind. how about... stop being a stranger?
What exactly do you mean by "a little more"? Like closer relationships? or something that you can only accomplish on your own?
I have awesome relationships in my life, and I'm totally open to developing more. but you may be looking into this too much! I'm talking about some loooovin' from the right person! isn't that what we all want in the end? who am I kidding... I am still recovering from a breakup hahaha. that's all this is. let's leave it!!
Not to be nosy, I think that opening up to people more will make them open up to you and perhaps cure your loneliness. You'll find the most in people you least expect!
haha, it really isn't that big of a deal! but I appreciate your advice. I have been told that I can be quite the closed book! opening up may be a good idea. however, maybe lonely was the wrong word. I'm just lacking a certain affection that I used to have an abundance of. now it's getting personal, so I will stop! thank you for your concern! :) I'm fine though, really.
Don't be lonely! you've such good friends!
I know I do! I am very lucky, actually. but you knoooooow, sometimes ya want a little more. ;) I appreciate your concern, stranger.
Why you say you're miserable and lonely!?
Haha, I have been lately! Just a rough go, whaddya gonna do.
Do you change how you act depending on who you're hanging out with?
Not that I know of! Unless I'm in a weird mood or something. I can be shy with people I'm not comfortable with.
