Feature Column: Tiesha Talks

Personal Message: I’m a writer with very little thoughts, but a lot of things to say. I spend my time working on my novel, running this site, reading interesting things, trying to breathe life into my rapidly dying plants, knitting unnoticeable items and silently praying that Veronica Mars will once again rise from the ashes (known as cancellation) like Dumbledore’s phoenix, Fawkes. My likes are simple; good television, good movies, good music, good books and good video games. My greatest accomplishment is beating every release of Devil May Cry in one sitting.

Personal Message: Who am I? I think that’s something I’m still trying to figure out. I can say I’m a 2002 graduate of Kutztown University with a BA in English. I love U2. I enjoy sci-fi, action and some horror (Buffy NOT Twilight) in terms of genres. I’m from Northeastern Pennsylvania so The Office holds a special place in my heart. I prefer the long form story that is television to the short story that is film.

Because if you don’t look closely, you’ll miss a lot.

Personal Message: Live in a small town in an even smaller country with a big outlook on life. Book worm, DVD geek, poor musician and writer of short stories. Love my family, the outdoors, my garden, the dog, art, the sky at night and chocolate. Tend to speak my mind and write what I want.

Beats: Bones, House, The Good Wife, Grey’s Anatomy

Personal Message: Who am I? Well, I have been described by others as having the tenacity and sardonic humor of Veronica Mars; the verbosity of Lorelai Gilmore; the independence of Smallville’s Lois Lane, and sometimes having the social skills of one Gregory House. I am most of these things to be sure, but unfortunately, I am not weird enough to be an interesting riddle.

My likes are rather simple: TV, 1980’s cartoons, movies, animals, country living, reading and writing. My dislikes include: the Twilight craze, most tween pop music, and people who value idle gossip over truth. One day I hope to be an accomplished writer, but in the mean time I cannot think of anything better than taking a few moments to speak my mind.

Personal Message: Who am I? Let’s see… I’m a 21 year old Canadian and soon-to-be University graduate with an Honours degree in Sociology and minor in Psychology. I’m entirely unsure of where my life is headed, but we’ll see what happens along this crazy journey. I’m a self-pronounced TV addict and enjoy spending time with my dogs, my friends, listening to music, and chatting with folks online. You might agree or disagree with my view on things, but my hope is that at the very least I can keep you entertained. Don’t be surprised if you hear me say “dude” or “eh?” a lot (you can chalk that one up to my Canadian heritage)

Personal Message: I am Krista and am a 21 year old Canadian. I am just finishing my 4 years of undergrad with an Honors Specialization degree in Sociology and a minor in Psychology. I am a TV enthusiast and love to watch shows and become engrossed in the stories, themes and plots. I enjoy a wide variety of TV shows ranging from reality to drama and comedy. I also enjoy movies and music. My taste is music spans a wide range of genres as I pretty much like anything except for techno or screaming metal. Currently I am on a country music fix. I enjoy reading books once I get into them, but I have been known to skip out on the Harry Potter Series and instead watch the movies only, despite the protests from family and friends. My favorite types of book would be classified as “chick lit” but if a book has a good plot and writing style I usually get into it.

Beats: Movies

Personal Message: I’m a 21-year-old American student who happily suffers from an overabundance of whimsy. I go to a classical liberal arts college and am double majoring in English and Art, so I’m probably going to end up living in a tastefully decorated cardboard box. Until then, I’ll be covering the movie beat here at Tell‘em Girl. I love adventure movies, screwball comedies, sci-fi, fantasy, action, most films from the 40s and anything well written.

I’m a nerd, and happy about it. At any given moment I’m as likely to be thinking about comics as I am about, say, the range of meaning of certain Anglo-Saxon words. I won’t be surprised if we sometimes disagree given my eclectic tastes, but I hope you’ll give my reviews a shot regardless.
