Let's destroy the mystery
After the comments and discussion that resulted from my last article, I thought I would indulge my self-centredness and possibly at the same time shed some light upon who I am by writing an entry about... me. Not what happened to me today, not my recent gastronomic fetish, not even an expose on why Christian girls find it so easy to avoid having sex (but that is to come). About me.
Name: Tegan -- you can call me Teegs or Teegstar. I'm not putting my surname in because I don't think I could handle the truckloads of fanmail. Sorry.
Gender: Female -- there seemed to be some uncertainty in the comments. I was quietly pleased about that, not because I harbour a desire for a sex change but because I hope I have broad appeal that isn't sullied by gender. Is that crazy? I can't even really explain my reasoning properly, but I was pleased nonetheless. To avoid future confusion though, yeah, I'm a chick.
Age: a mere 20 years. My 21st birthday is in about a month and a half (preparations for the party of the century have begun). I'm not going to pretend I'm mature for my age because, let's face it, I'm not! I don't think I ever will be. Life as a kid is way funner.
Location: currently in a computer lab at uni. To put that in perspective, the uni is in St Lucia, which is a suburb in Brisbane, which is a city in Queensland, which is a state in Australia, which is a country in the Southern Hemisphere, which is a hemisphere of planet Earth, which is a planet in the Sol solar system.... you get the picture. (Hey did anyone ever read My Place In Space when they were a kid? I loved that book!)
Occupation: I'm a full-time uni student studying a dual degree: Bachelor of Business Management (majoring in marketing) and Bachelor of Journalism. I'm in my fourth year of studying and will graduate mid-way through next year. It seems like a long time since I started... but the time has flown. And next July looks like a long way away... but I know that's going to fly too. As a part time job I work for my church as Kids Director, which is the best. If you want to know more about that, read my other article, Cream Puffs and Feeding the Needy (I think?)
Appearance: there were some photos of me on the site but the sites I had uploaded them to are temperamental or now non-existent and I haven't the time to relocate them. So let me describe myself.... I've got like... hair... some eyes... um, nose... and stuff...
How do you describe yourself?
Let's start at the top. I have brown hair. Sometimes it's curly and sometimes it's spazzy. There isn't much in between, and you need esp to know which one it's going to be on any particular day. At the moment it reaches about my shoulders.
Moving down... right, eyes. They're brown and have eyebrows on top of them. My skin is olive-ish, thanks to my Dad's dubious breeding (legend has it we are comprised of Chinese, Italian, Native American and... I can't remember, but we're more than mixed).
More on the face... nose, mouth, the usual. I have ears too -- they're pierced (I got them done when I was 18).
Neck, followed by shoulders, arms, and the like. Nothing really out of the ordinary about those, although I think my arms are a bit hairy. I blame my Italian ancestors. Waist, hips, legs, feet.... I have big feet (ladies' size 10).
Random fact: the toes on my right foot are slightly bigger than the ones on my left. Isn't that weird? I didn't realise that until one day when I was 17 and I was lying down in the car with my feet up on the steering wheel for some strange reason. What a revelation.
After the feet there's just the floor. The end of me.
Oh yeah, I'm 173cm (5'9") and I have no idea what I weigh. About 60kg, maybe a bit more. I'm not fat and I'm not really skinny. Actually I really like my weight -- how often does a girl say that?
If this was one of those annoying online quizzes that get sent around every once in a while, this would probably be the section where I would talk about my likes and dislikes, views on relationships and the colour of my toothbrush. However that's the sort of stuff that comes out in my normal writing, and it's the basics that I've outlined above which are sometimes less apparent. Which contrasts with real life where you can tell most of the stuff I've said by just looking at someone, but not know much about who they are or how they think.
The Internet is a strange medium.
Tell me your thoughts or anything I've forgotten. Who are you guys? I'm know others have already posted on this before, but if you feel like replying, reply!
I like my marketing tutor but I don't like the way he teaches,
