TINSLEY GRACE WHITFIELD
---------------------------------------------------
TINNY , TWENTY , NEW YORK UNIVERSITY STUDENT , BRIE
HELLO THERE. ARE YOU READY FOR THIS INTERVIEW? IT MIGHT GET A LITTLE PERSONAL..
" heya! of course i'm ready, if i wasn't, then i wouldn't be here taking it, now would i? i don't mind personal things, it's not like i have anything to hide.. "
ALRIGHT, ALRIGHT. SO WHAT'S YOUR NAME? WHY DON'T YOU TELL US A BIT ABOUT IT AS WELL?
" my name is tinsley grace whitfield, and i think it's the most gorgeous name in the whole world. i wasn't named after anyone, and my name wasn't inspired by anyone either. at least, that's not what i heard. daddy came up with grace, because he said that ever since he had seen mom, he had been in love, and he had always wanted a little girl named grace with her. mushy and weird, but hey, i'm not complaining, i like my middle name. tinsley would be my first name, and the most pretty part. considering christmas is my absolute most favorite holiday, and it reminds me of tinsel. like, the stringy silver stuff that you put all over the tree? yeah. it's sparkly and pretty. whitfield, of course, is my last name, and my daddy's last name. mom's maiden name was hyde. tinsley grace hyde.. it just isn't the same. "
HOW OLD ARE YOU, WHEN'S YOUR BIRTHDAY? TELL US ABOUT YOUR PARENTS AS WELL.
" i'm twenty years old, and i was born on february fourteenth. if you do the math, you can figure out what year i was born in. my parents are willow and jason whitfield, mom's a army wife and dad's in the army. i love my parents a lot, i'd do absolutely anything for them. they've done so much for me over the years, it's only fair for me to return the favor. "
GIVE US THREE TRAITS THAT DESCRIBE YOU, AND THEN TELL US ABOUT THEM.
" oh.. um, let's see here. smiley would probably be one of them, hopefully that counts as a trait. i don't like to frown, it causes wrinkles. also because i just think it's good to appear happy, you make more friends that way. you know that one random quote, 'smile, because somewhere, someone's waiting for it,'? well, it's something like that. anyways, i think it's good advice. the next would be selfless, because i've been told that i always put others before myself.. i like to make other people happy, and at times, i don't really care what happens to me as long as the others are great and smiley and yeah... mom tells me i need to outgrow that, but it's sort of hard to when you've been raised to help people as much as you can. lastly would be the trait organized. is that one? i think so. i don't like to be out of order, everything has to be absolutely perfect. everything in my books are organized, no pages are dogeared, my bed is always made perfectly. shoes all in order. no, i'm not ocd, i don't get worried about it or anything. i just like it to be neat and tidy. "
TELL US ABOUT YOUR CHILDHOOD. CRUSHES? FRIENDS? DIRTY DETAILS, YES PLEASE.
" oh wow.. um, that was a pretty long time ago, i suppose. alright, let's start with the first day of kindergarten. it was a pretty normal day, but i was like, the quiet, shy kid. i didn't know anyone, i'd just moved to tulsa, oklahoma, after all. only been there a week, i believe, and school was already a term in. dad had been sent here.. can't remember why. but then this one girl, zoey, came up to me and told me that we were going to be friends. i sort of just stared with wide eyes. how did she know? i told her that i didn't know if i wanted friends. she grinned, took my hand, and then went and showed me how to climb on the monkey bars. yeah, we've been best friends since forever. we say we're twins, but it's obvious that we're not. i mean, she's a brunette, i'm a blonde. whatever, we're ultra close and both here in new york after ten years of being apart. we're roomies, i don't think i mentioned. oh, now crushes.. well, in high school, my freshman year, i had a major crush on the senior year football quarterback. oh my goodness, he was fine. i'd definitely smack that. anyways, it never worked out between us, but i crushed hard until he graduated. other than that... i don't remember any crushes, i've never had a boyfriend. i guess i'm not pretty, who knows. but i'm happy being single! though i'm not a virgin, still. "
WAIT WAIT, NOT A VIRGIN? WHAT HAPPENED TO THE WHOLE 'I'M NOT PRETTY, I'VE NEVER HAD A BOYFRIEND' DEAL?
" oh, i suppose that's confusing. well, see, that 'taking away my virginity deal' was a huge mistake, i was super stupid to let it happen. i was sixteen and at a party with another best friend of mine, daniella, and i have no idea why, but i had been drinking. i was like, super duper drunk. this one guy, i think his name was josh, offered to drive me home. giggling like a fool, i (of course) accepted the kind offer, not thinking much of it. it was when he took the detour that i was almost asleep, and he stopped on a side road, parked the car, and got out, starting to put the seats down. mumbling softly to myself as he picked me up out of the passenger seat and set me down softly in the back, i sort of realized what was happening and tried to stop it the best i could. yeah, didn't work out, the whole 'stopping it' thing. so, you can tell what happened after that.. lost my virgin status, and i'm scarred for life. "
ROUGH LIFE, LOVE. WELL, THANKS FOR BEING HERE. HOPE TO SEE YOU AGAIN SOMEDAY, MAYBE?
" hey, you never know. see ya. "
