For the past week or two, I’ve been experiencing excruciating pain behind my eyes that I chalked up to the heater drying my eyes out. My left eye was really red and swollen and when I started experiencing an ass load of symptoms – Wednesday night saw I-think-my-eyes-have-fallen-out-literally and my BB!Reid could not (shockingly) make […]

Apologies for skipping last week, though this is only for myself. I wanted to do it, and I had woken up with it on my mind, but completely spaced out the rest of the day. Go me! And anyhow: you knew it was coming! :D Continuing the Artist collection of “Songs of Tess”, Placebo is […]

Note the exclamation mark, because I finally found something I could blog with1, and it’s about something I do so love. Digressing aside, I was telling the Dad to play some 90s rock music, and it suddenly dawned on me – several hours after the fact, admittedly – that I could do that as a […]

Hey-ho, a “Songs of Tess” entry! Not that they are particularly interesting, but there you go. I decided to go with the idea of choosing five songs per artists of the artists that have the most songs in my library. I don’t have a library to do this, however – I briefly considered creating a […]

Happy Father’s Day, Dad — you mean more to me than you’ll ever know (probably because I’ll never say it, but shush). …and before anybody asks, that’s the back of the Mom’s head — the Dad is not some hippy mullet-wearing dude (…OK, he’s a hippy dude, but still no mullet!), but from the reputation […]

Before I go on, I just want to thank everyone for the beautiful comments on my last entry! ♥ I had no idea my photography was interesting to anyone but me (and Christina, because she lurves me), and it was great to see such encouragement from those I admire so greatly. *squeezes all of you* […]

I almost didn’t write this, when Michelle » tagged me, because like Manda », I had a really hard time coming to my own conclusion of what my life will be like “in ten years”. It’s hard to say, and not for the reasons that are apparent; yes, I am young, but what I feared […]

For the next Songs of Tess blog, I was thinking of ways to include the English band Muse more than once, and not have it Muse-centred and well, needless to say, I did not come up with an excuse to have them more than once, so I went even further with the idea, and decided […]

I started a “Songs of Tess »” edition to my Tumblr, and I really, really enjoyed it, so much so I decided to crosspost it to my regular blog, because most of us love music in our lives! …Well that, and because I like the sound of “Songs of Tess”, and just the ability to […]

Heads up: Stone Temple Pilots reference in the title, hey-ho! I should totally get paid for musical referencing, guys, I really should. Three guys moved into the house across the street from us, after being abandoned for…well, for longer than we’ve been here (a year in June). As mostly elderly people live in our neighbourhood, […]

While » …and the Indians Mated With the White People – the infamous entry about my Dad’s explanation on my heritage – was a hit back in the “day” when I ran on WordPress and still had all my comments, I never planned on making a second edition, or expanding that story in any way, […]

I felt like using that title because it’s actually a song by The Blood Brothers », and you know me1, if there’s a reference to be made, it will be had. But I’m not here to talk about The Blood Brothers, or how awesome they are, or how I cried at the news of their […]

I’m standing in front of my microwave whilst writing this entry. I thought I’d start this off with something monumental, and well, I never stand while writing an entry. Slumped across my bed, hunched over my laptop at my desk, or propped up on the (too) comfortable footrest in the living room, why yes, but […]

I’ve been encountering several opinionated-run blogs over the Internet, and it’s put a slightly off taste in my mouth. I’m an opinionated person, and sometimes I need to tell myself to shut up and get lost, but I’ve never overstepped my bounds, and I’ve learnt that, for me, opinions sound better with a couple of […]

I'm almost<a href="http://lyone.net/e/41/#note-1"><sup>1</sup></a> positive every teenager not <em>absolutely</em> positive what they're sexual preference is questions it. It's natural, and with society more open now than it ever was before<a href="http://lyone.net/e/41/#note-2"><sup>2</sup></a>, to question something. You feel attraction, and you ask yourself, "Am I <em>gay</em>?". As a almost-not-any more teenager, I did question myself. It wasn't that […]
