Title: Hello. I am new here.
Post by: TeresaDawn on January 17, 2005, 05:25:52 PM
Hello :)

I just joined.
My name is Teresa Dawn.

Let's see, what can I say...
I am 22 years old (or will be this Wednsday, my birthday is January 19th)

I live in Western Canada (about an hour east of Vancouver).
I live at home still, with my parents, my younger sister and brother,
and my pets.  My dogs names are Pepper, and Amie Shania.  My cat's name is Belle Arina.

I currently am unemployed, having quit my job to travel last October.  I do tutor a grade 8 student on occassion though, in humanities, science and math.  Also I am currently taking university courses through correspondance (at the moment I am taking English and History). I also teach Sunday School, and am in my tenth year of doing so.  This year I am teaching kindergarteners, which is a fun challenge because for the past few years I have been teaching older children (around 8-10 year olds).

I enjoy: making computer graphics, photography, writing, figure skating, watching any sport during the Olympics, watching DVD's in french, and chatting on message boards.  (Plus a lot more than that ;) )

I also enjoy travelling.  I haven't had too much opportunity to do so, but I have been to the following places:
Canada (BC (i live here lol), Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario)
USA ( Washington, Oregon, California, New York)
UK (England, Wales (plus Scotland for an hour, but I didn't get to get off the plane ;) )

Anyways, that's all I can think of really.  Here is a link to my MSN Spaces site where I have some pictures I've taken and another album for pictures of me.

Great to see you, Teresa Dawn.  Lovely to have a fellow Canadian too! 

I'm going out for the evening but I'll be back a little later.

Again, a great big welcome to you!

Judy, Thank you for the compliment on my graphic.  Although I make many of my own, a friend made that one for me. 
And yes, feel free to call me TD :D  I get that a lot :D (although the people I know personally just call me Teresa without the Dawn, I wish they'd put it on or say TeeDee as well lol!)  Also, I love your name.  Judy has always been one of my favourite names, and it is the name of the main characteurs in one of the novels I am writing (although in her case it is short for Judyith, rather than Judith)
Also, I don't really like orange juice or coffee?  You don't happen to have any milk or grapefruit juice or tea do you?

Pat,
Thank you soo much for your warm welcomes both on here and in my private message box :D  It is great to get a response so quickly :D

TeresaDawn, I just had a look at your photos on your webpage.  You have some lovely ones.  Were you in the UK?  Some of the folks could pass for Irish folks in your photos!  LOL

lol! Well, There isn't any real Irish folks in the photos, but quite a few ppl who have bits of Irish in them I'm sure.  The pictures weith ppl in them were taken in both Ontario and the UK like you said. They are mostly family members of mine.   (except for the ice skating photos).  I was in the UK for about 5 weeks just before Christmas (mid-oct until late nov).  Not Ireland at all though.  England and Wales

Ohhh, what part of Wales?  My husband and I hiked all over England and Wales over the years.  We especially loved North Wales.
