Name change and a cure for moderate bordem
Because there are so many thousand "Sarah"'s in the world I am going by my middle name again. Wether any of you can pronounce it right or not. TEARESSA. Yay! It is pronounced as follows... TEA- like you are saying the letter "T", RESSA- short e! NOT a long e as in theresa. That is not my name. I'm sure I'll have to yell at you all a million times before you get it right, But from now on i'm not answering to Sarah! So take note. And this is because I am bored...
