Hi
My name is Teele. It's NOT pronounced 'teal' (tiːl). Try
saying television and now try saying it without the 'vision' [tel-uh]. There,
close enough - works.
I feel like I should make some things very clear about
myself. Seems that I have been giving certain individuals a bit of a wrong
impression about me quite a few times.
But first a bit about what I like and don't like. I don't
think I'm like a lot of other girls. I have no idea what made me the way I am,
but I'm pretty sure my mom had a lot to do with it. Fortunately I'm not going
anywhere near the topic of how I was raised and what my family life was like, so
let's just leave it at that.
I hate shopping, I hate dolls, I rarely wear make-up, I
don't like dresses, I don't like skirts. I prefer playing Paintball to going to
the hair salon. I like cars, I love driving, I love getting down and dirty and
actually making stuff happen. I don't mind spending the entire day in stables
throwing horseshit out. I love working with animals, I hate working with
people. I don't like babies, they frighten me. I don't like children in
general, they're messy and even though they can be cute sometimes I don't want
one anytime soon.
Now, most of my friends are guys. And I think this is where
I have royally fucked some shit up and now feel the need to explain my actions.
So... if I were to sum up my personality in one word then it
would be "player". Cause that's what I do - I play with other people,
I play with feelings (my own heavily included), I get people hurt, I manipulate
and I usually get what I want in the end. It's a whole different story how long
"whatever it was I wanted" lasts, but things do happen. Things happen
all the fucking time.
I have been in this city for almost three months now and I
can honestly say that if I wanted to I could write a fucking novel about all
the shit that's happened here. My life here has been one big soap opera and to
be honest, I can't see it ending any time soon.
See, I get on with people really well. I don't have a
problem with meeting new people and making friends. People for me are a
necessity. I need to talk, I need to communicate, I need to have fun and
occasionally (though very rarely and not really in front of anybody) I need to
let steam out. That might happen in one of the two ways:
1) I get really pissed off at someone which usually means
I'm going to be extremely sarcastic and probably quite mean. I'm usually a nice
person, but trust me - I am able to look someone in the eye and tell them exactly
what I think about them.
2) Or I go somewhere alone and hope I can cry - but that
shit never happens. I don't cry, I don't know how to cry and that just really
makes me want to cry sometimes! Frustrating.
I am a loyal friend to the people who I care about. I might
joke about stuff, but that's probably because it's easier to deal with life
through jokes than actually talking about it. But I am reliable and I always
come through when needed.
Apparently I have a flirty personality (see how the dots are
beginning to connect?). I hadn't really thought about it before, because this
is how I've always acted, but I suppose the cultural difference really does
matter here. See, I have a best friend, a guy best friend and I act around him
like I act around all the guys who I think are my friends and it's never been a
problem with him before. So I come here, act like I act and what do I notice?
Third day in Dundee and something's different - the way I act isn't considered
just friendly anymore, it's flirty. And another one, 'let's go on a date' (FYI:
I fucking hate dates, they are the most awkward things ever and I would rather
cut my wrists than go on a date 'date' again). So You see where I'm going with
this? Apparently I have given a lot of people the wrong impression about how I
feel about them.
What ACTUALLY goes through my head and what everyone else
THINKS don't match up. I'm being friendly/flirty(call it how You want) because
that's just the way I fucking am. I am truly sorry if I ever gave anyone the
wrong impression and I'm not even sure how many people will read this but if
you think You are one of them, then I Am Sorry. When I like 'like' someone I
will let them know (better sooner than later, but eventually it WILL happen)
and I am quite BLUNT about these things. I don't like hurting people and I
don't like giving false hope so I don't. And now I can smoothly go over to the
next paragraph which deals with why I'm such a fucked up person.
I have been hurt so many times in my life, but for some
reason I'm still a stupid fuck when it comes to relationships. Now don't get me
wrong - I've never had a real relationship in my life so when I say
'relationship' it probably isn't exactly what You have in mind. What I've had
can probably be classed as some fucked up version of a dirty romance story.
I don't really know the meaning of 'love' (in the context of
romantic love). I wouldn't know how to be a Girlfriend. So I get scared, put on
an act and fuck everything up.
I am a naive bastard when it comes to the matters of the
heart (if you sensed the sarcasm then you probably already know me pretty well,
kudos). I hate lovey-dovey stuff. I hate compliments, probably because I don't
feel worthy of them so I dismiss them. I say "I'm fine" and I'm
usually lying. I never feel fine. I might feel great or shit (usually shit). I
don't like confrontations and I hate when people are upset with me. So I'm
friendly,
I'm helpful and I'm nice. And apparently that's not a very good thing
when it comes to guys - guys who I think of as only my friends and nothing
else.
I'm not even sure if everything I just said made any sense,
but I needed to get it off my chest. So there it is - ME. How I Am. And how I
will be in the future (unless something monumental happens and completely
changes me, though with my track record I really don't see that happening...
ever).
I am not a skank, I don't sleep around, I'm not trying to be
a bitch, but this side of me just slips out sometimes. I am outgoing, I am
loyal, I love socialising, I hate everything fake (except for my hair, cause
seriously - the brown that it used to be was just atrocious), I'm not girly
(never ever will be). I am realistic, I am reliable, I am fucking well organized
and even though I sometimes have really shitty weeks when I just run myself
ragged, stop eating and say I hate life I don't really. Life might be hard at
the moment, but it will get better. I am responsible for making it better for
myself and I don't need anyone to feel sorry for me for any reason.
And who the fuck came up with the stupid notion of putting
x-s in the end of text messages. I mean, x = kiss yeah? Do you seriously ever
IRL (In Real Life) kiss all the people who put x-s everywhere? Eh, do you?
Didn't think so. So what's the fucking point?
