Tessa is one of those big words that you find scribbled in the back of the dictionary and have to tear out the page to keep from damaging anyone else's sanity. She is like atoms in science; small when alone, but capable of attracting legions. (And she has.) I am glad to know her. - Lisboa
I'm 23, work in retail, and have a slight issue with depression. Mostly, I try to be happy and keep to myself. I just started a new job and enjoy it much. When I am not hiding away in my bedroom, I like to hang out with my friends and make my BF's life a little more complicated than it already is.
(Now you get all the "in detail" about me crap....)
I have an on again off again love affair with photography. Some days I am out and about with a camera in my hand, other days I just can't be bothered. When I do manage to get out and find my center I usually come back with something I can be proud about. I do enjoy the zen feeling of going outside with nature and trying to capture some of it's beauty. Photography has been my career of choice for the past year and a half, and now I am looking into going back to school to make it my profession. So far, so good....
(Click on the picture below to view my DeviantArt page. It has more of my photography and a few of my poems and short stories.)
I come off as an outgoing person, but I am honestly really shy. When meeting new people, my eyes like to find my feet. I have been known to turn red for nothing. (Usually I'm the one making someone else red in the face. Take that as you will. ^_^) I do have a great sense of humour though, and I love to make people laugh. I have gone to EXTREME lengths to make my friends smile. Really, sometimes I come off as a bit of an ass.
As mentioned before, I do have a boyfriend, Allen. We have been living together for almost two years now, and it has been great! He's the best damn thing in my life and I wouldn't trade what we have for anything. I know I can be a emotional rollercoaster bitch of the grandest sort, but he sticks with me and takes it the best he can. For that, he has all my love.^_^
My friends are the best mother-fuckers on the planet! Nuff said!
I have a bit of a foul mouth. (Who doesn't these days? I mean, really...)
If there is one thing that I love more than photography, that is music. Love it, any kind will do. I am always looking for something new to enjoy and press upon others. I do have a few top favvies that always seem to pick me up when I am down. The Beatles (especially The Beatles), Franz Ferdinand, Staind, and The Smiths. They all make me feel a little bit better when I think I can't go on.
Phobia's; Spiders, the dark, and Zombie legions massing. (Don't look at me that way.... one day it WILL happen. When it does, and a zombie is chewing on your brains, with what little sense you have remaining, you'll be thinking 'Gee.... I should have listened to Tessa'. Where will I be? Hidden in my Zombie proof bunker until the epidemic quiets. *points to a shallow hole dug in her backyard* I'm prepared....)
