/ so i'm moving to new york

loves. (1) having a cold beer after the end of a long day. (2) taking long walks in the middle of the night in new york city, knowing that the streets are never empty. (3) the way her legs look in the perfect pair of high heels. (4) laying in the sand on a hot day. (5) drinking a cup of really hot, sweet tea when she’s stressed out. (6) receiving chocolates from anyone on any occasion. (7) the sound of rain hitting the roof while she lays in bed. (8) chinese food at two in the morning. (9) complete silence whilst she enjoys a bubble bath. (10) putting on an american accent and surprising people when she stops and sounds australian once more.
hates. (1) the fact that she can’t drive in new york city. (2) eggs of any kind regardless of the way they are prepared. (3) when people mistake her accent for an english one. (4) the fact that american chocolate isn’t as sweet as australian chocolate. (5) being so far away from home. (6) people who take everything in life too seriously and aren’t able to enjoy things. (7) the drink pepsi. (8) being told what to do by anyone, even her parents. (9) being judged on first appearances. (10) tomatoes in salads.
quirks. (1) she chews on the inside of her cheek when she’s bored or impatient. (2) she is normally a very messy person, but occasionally gets into cleaning frenzies where she cleans everything in sight. (3) sings embarrassing pop music in the shower regardless of where she is. (4) jumps around when she continues to mess up a line.
aspirations. (1) she wants to win an oscar in her lifetime, just one. (2) her biggest aspiration is to own a big house of her own and raise one or two kids there, always from the hustle and bustle of a huge city.
secrets. (1) she used to be quite a trouble maker in her past. she ran wild and caused a lot of trouble and that only stopped after she got put in hospital after a fight gone bad. (2) the real reason she left australia was not for an education like she told her parents, but was a chance to start new and escape her past and her mistakes.
personality evaluated.
she takes a lot of pride in the fact that she is very different from the people who inhabit her new home. people of new york city seem very distant, always in a hurry. tahnee isn’t like that in the least. if there is one thing that everyone seems to say about her, it’s the fact that she takes the time to enjoy her life and the things that she is doing. she is very laidback and likes to enjoy the life she is now living. it’s new and exciting relocating to new york city after living in a city where absolutely nothing happened and the most exciting thing to do was locate a party and drink until she forgot what she was doing. with so much to do, tahnee’s no longer wishing for excitement and a change of life. she’s going with the flow and is very relaxed to what is going on with no particular goals and ambitions, just taking opportunities as she sees them. she likes the thrill of not knowing when her next job will come or what she’ll be working on. life in the business is exactly what she wanted; it’s different, exciting and opens millions of doors which is all that she has ever wanted in her young life.

one thing she does have in common with the inhabitants of her new home is a sarcastic wit which has never failed her. okay, so her sarcasm isn’t only wit. she can be quite cruel with her sarcastic comments, even by accident. she has always been a sarcastic person. since she was fourteen, it was her preferred method of wit and though she did arouse laughter in some, she also managed to hurt many with her immediate comments, ones that did not even cross her mind as hurtful before they had escaped her mouth. tahnee has been called bitchy quite often and it can be true when the occasion calls from it. she is not afraid of confrontation and is often the first to tackle issues by confronting those wronging her, or those close to her. her bitchy ways are not always a bad thing as she is always willing to the bitch in situations that her friends are fearful of. growing up, her harsh tongue kept her and her friends out of situations that could prove messy as people were afraid of messing with her. that is not a reputation she is trying to uphold, but who knows whether or not she’ll be successful?

even though her hurtful works of sarcasm may lose her friends, her outgoing and talkative nature wins her just as many friends as she loses. tahnee has never been a person who is afraid of approaching other people. she adores knowing people and being able to approach acquaintances or casual friends on the street and strike up a small conversation. that has always been the case, but it’s intensified since moving to a new city and having to start all over with friends. she’s generally nice and watches her tongue to people that she just meets, but once she gets to know them better, somewhat nasty comments and jokes at their expense start coming out. it’s all in good fun, but sometimes it causes a bit of drama. she never means anything by it. it was just something that occurred as she was growing up because that was what friendships back home consisted of.

although she tries to act like nothing bothers her, tahnee is secretly very sensitive and cares a lot about what people think of her. the opinions of others have a lot of influence on what she thinks of herself. a subconscious reason for her somewhat rude comments, even to those who she likes is to keep them saying she’s a bitch. hearing people say that isn’t’ a bad thing because she acts that way and she knows that she is one. having people call her other things of a negative nature is what she tries to avoid at all costs. another thing she does not like and wants to avoid at all costs is rejection. she doesn’t often make it known when she likes someone and prefers to keep attractions flirtatious and physical – though she doesn’t take the physical far earning her a reputation as a cock tease. tahnee goes through a lot of protect herself although she denies it to everyone who asks and even to herself. she thinks of it as sorting through people who are worthy of her company; believing that she does not want to surround herself with weak and sensitive people.

history evaluated.
she was born to couple daniel and cheryl chambers who named tatania elise chambers. ever since she could remember, she was nicknamed tahnee and it stuck. it became preferable to her actual name. she was the second born child and when she was three, her baby sister raina was born. the relationship shared with her little sister was tense at the best of times. the two fought constantly, up until their teenage years over everything; toys, books, clothes, attention. this relationship was the polar opposite of the one tahnee shared with her brother kyle. these two had a melodious relationship. they did fight occasionally, but they always made up and continued to coexist peacefully, playing games and teasing each other like all good siblings do. the chambers family was the average australian family. they weren’t rich, but they had enough to get by and the kids were provided for and got mostly everything they wanted.

things were good until tahnee entered primary school. her peaceful, happy little world was shattered by bullies who thought it amusing to make the five years old cry as much as possible. school – something she had previously been so excited about – became a chore. she never wanted to go and tried every trick possible to get out of going. her brother, who is three years older than her, did not notice her troubles. no one did. she suffered in silence for several years until she finally began to stand up for herself. it did not win her friends, nor did it make her bullies back off. eventually, tahnee just fell into a destructive pattern that worked well for her, yet further alienated her from her innocent school mates. she would refuse to do her work, she would talk back to her teachers to the point where they’d summon her parents for talks. her parents did not understand tahnee’s behaviour. she seemed perfectly normal at home, but morphed into a complete stranger once she was at school. by twelve years old, tahnee wasn’t an innocent school girl any more. she was already beginning to rebel, although it didn’t hurt anyone until she began high school.

once high school began, tahnee found a group of people like her. they wanted to cause as many disruptions as possible. they didn’t like being in a controlled environment such as school. she fit right in with them and they soon began doing all they could to break the rules; disrupting classes, talking back to teachers, trying to make them break down. they succeeded numerous times, resulting in detentions and suspensions. it was all a game to them. finally, they began cutting school. at thirteen, this was a big deal to tahnee. she felt like a complete and total bad ass. they would skip school and go anywhere and everywhere. they would smoke and urge adults to buy them alcohol and drink. they declared themselves ruthless and did what they felt like. her rebellious nature took a turn for the worst when she began sneaking out with her friends. her parents didn’t know for a long time what she was getting herself into. they would break into places; houses, cars, construction sites and steal whatever they could. it was thrilling to her. they’d pick fights with people and steal their wallets and basically whatever they could do that they knew was wrong.

this continued on for years and her behaviour got worse and worse. she had just turned fifteen when she finally got what was coming to her. she and a couple of other girls picked a fight. they wrestled around for a bit and tahnee received a blow to the head which knocked her unconscious. she woke up in the hospital with seven stitches in her head. the other girl had hit her with a rock found on the ground. it was enough to make tahnee rethink what she was doing. she ceased her behaviour and returned to school. she straightened up her act and was able to graduate with decent grades. however, she felt like she needed a change. everywhere she turned, there was a reminder of her past; what she used to be like; who she used to know. she wanted to go somewhere different. the family had friends who lived in the states and after a bit of persuasion, she managed to talk them and her parents into letting her fly over and live there for a while. it took a couple of months of working for her to scrape up the money and do so, but she managed to and in february of two thousand and three, she moved to new jersey. she attended a local college and worked. it was refreshing to be somewhere new and exciting.

she had lived in the states for a few years by then and she was starting to get bored with herself. she was looking for something else for herself; something that would spark some excitement in her life. her friend decided to drag her along to an audition for a commercial. tahnee agreed out of complete boredom and she got it. she had never really acted before, besides from drama classes in high school. however, she found herself a natural at it and she loved doing it. a few years after her first gig, she heard about an audition for something called ‘twilight’ and she tried out; surprising herself after receiving a part. she worked on the film and it was perfect. she continued to look for acting jobs and eventually made enough money to buy herself an apartment in new york city; her permanent place of residence when she is not working on a new film. her new life is exciting and she loves every minute of it.
