I keep getting badgered about needing to get back on here, so I guess I might as well. The accessibility features seem decent, at least.

Name's Clarissa D'Angelo, most call me Lissa. I'm technically a doctor of occupational therapy and an Olympic gold medalist but I'm mostly just a blind nerd who lives life on the internet. If you're into watching strangers do shit on the internet, I'm Pasta4Arrows just about everywhere, otherwise... what's your favourite food and can you come up with a more offending pizza topping than pineapple? Which, for the record, definitely isn't as offending as people think.

[presleestjames]

Who badgered you? Do you work at the school? Do they make you use it for work?? Oh my goodness, I bet you all spy on us, don't you? That's so funny and cute.

Nice to meet you, Lissa! I really love Clarissa, but if you prefer Lissa, then that's what I'll call you. I'm Preslee, and people don't really shorten it other than sometimes Pres, but I like Preslee anyway. Ooh, what's the gold medal in? Also, if you're blind, how do you see the computer? Like, are you super blind?? Totally blind?

[psunolanfjessops]

Hello beautiful people! You are all gorgeous. Now that I have said that, I guess I am using Tumblr, never did I think I would see the day that I used Tumblr, but here we are. My modelling agent suggested I used it so here I am! Anyway Hi all, I'm Nolan, Model and Freelance Photographer so if anyone wants a shoot of literally anything, I can either be your model or take your photos you choose. Is anyone here just ready to get past Christmas and start the new year already? Or is it just me?

[presleestjames]

Umm, okay, that might be the cutest intro in the whole world ever. I love being called a beautiful person. Hi, Nolan, Model and Freelance Photographer, I'm Preslee, business owner and PSU freshman. My minor is actually in photography!

Not me, I love Christmas, it's the best. Don't you do anything fun to celebrate?

[goodkingbonnie]

Anybody want to help me break some pottery, rage room style? I want to reclaim, since I didn't get around to glazing it but there's too much to do it on my own. Can't imagine I'm the only who feels like breaking shit.

[presleestjames]

Ooh, can I help?? That sounds like it'd be so much fun. I've seen those rage rooms on TikTok and I always wanted to go to one. I don't really have a reason to break anything other than that... Do you?

[psurachelbberry]

Berry is a pretty unique last name so I do love it. Well I don't know if it is a good thing you called it cute but I will. Nice to meet you Preslee Grace St James. I absolutely love your name.

I guess that is a fair point.

[presleestjames]

It is, your parents should've named you Straw or Rasp. My brother might be a fan of you, he likes musicals. His name is Jesse, you should hit him up! Thank you, my mom dreamed about the name so she had to use it, because like she says, dreams are very powerful.

[bethweston]

I'll have to insist you come, Preslee. I know Jesse wants to as well, maybe we could make a family thing out of it?

[presleestjames]

Obvi Jesse wants to, he loves a good show. We can defs do that, that sounds so fun. When is it?

[gabewildepsu]

I'd love to. I saw someone put hazelnut creamer in Dr. Pepper and I have to try it. It sounds absolutely insane. Can I ask what your go-to soda is?

[presleestjames]

Ooh, hazelnut in Dr. Pepper is sooooo good. My go-to is better though, it's called The Preslee, duh, and it's sprite, lemonade, mango, passion fruit and vanilla creamer. Will you try that one? Be careful though, once you do you'll never want anything else.

@presleestjames

I was having a meditation session this morning and it came to me that we have not yet done anything between saints and sippers and Peaceful Harmony. I love supporting my fellow small business owners. It's amazing how inspiration just hits

[presleestjames]

Ohh, totes! I mean, I don't know what exactly we could do... but I'm defs open to suggestions. What are your thoughts??

[jessestjameslds]

@presleestjames

Preslee! Hows the start of the college year going? I was just grabbing a soda near campus listening to the Wicked soundtrack in preparation for the movie when I thought i saw you. You were too far away at the time but I have to say your skirt was looking a little short. Did you kneel on the ground to make sure it touched the floor? You know I would hate to think the message you could be giving out to some of these college boys.

[presleestjames]

It's going super well! I'm really enjoying it this time, which is good because I already knew by now when I tried it before that I didn't like it. Did you get your soda from my shop? Which one did you get? You don't need to check what I'm wearing, Jesse, I can dress myself. I can also handle myself with college boys. Besides, how do you know what message I'm trying to give out?

[psumilesbhudson]

I don't know if that is a good thing. I mean it's going to be a long time until people see it but I am glad you're excited for it.

I celebrate both Christmas and Thanksgiving, love them both! What are you plans for Christmas?

[presleestjames]

It is a good thing because the first parts are in motion. Everything has to start somewhere!

Oh, good, so do I. My family and I like to do as much service as possible over the holidays, so we'll be helping out at some community centers and soup kitchens and stuff for sure. How does your family celebrate?

[joeybeistepsu]

Welcome to PSU too. Uh, maybe. If they're quiet. I'm Joey. I'm sorry, I don't talk a lot.

[presleestjames]

They are, they're mostly for silent prayer. I can show you to them, I don't use them myself but I made sure I knew where they were just in case. You totes don't have to apologize for not being super talkative. I'm talkative, so I'll talk for both of us.

[gabewildepsu]

I had the weirdest craving for a soda after choir practice this week-- but do you guys close on Sundays? @presleestjames

[presleestjames]

That's not a weird craving, soda is the best! I don't work on Sundays, but the shop is open as usual. Maybe we can both go after church this weekend? That would be so fun.

[wildekit]

I have no idea, to be fair. & I was just trying to comprehend what they were doing but they eventually skedaddled out of there. But if they atempt it again, you can be damn sure I'll be right there to shut it all down - the disrespect.

Also, hey stranger, been too long since I've seen that beautiful face of yours.

[presleestjames]

That is super disrespectful. Unless they were making content about God? A lot of people who go on missions are using TikTok to promote the LDS faith now and it seems to be doing some good. We're getting a lot of younger members.

I know! I've been exploring the world, kind of like my own personal mission, but I'm back and ready to settle, which is soooo crazy to think about. I'm back at the shop now too, you should defs stop by so we can figure out your signature soda and name it after you.

[bethweston]

You are very correct! Lysandra is the gender-swapped version of Lysander, whose character is usually played as a male. He's typically a hopeless romantic, very loyal, determined, brave, and witty. All in all, the perfect golden retriever boyfriend.

[presleestjames]

He sounds so cute, I bet you'll have so much fun. When is it showing? Can you get me a ticket?

[westonbacts]

Um, thank you? It's less doubting my acting prowess, and more wondering if it's just my name that's carrying weight and keeping people here. Although, if anything that'd probably drive people away... it's a temp gig either way, I'll be back to acting full time before I know it. I'd definitely be worse at teaching Spanish or history... no-one wants to learn that from I can assure you.

Poppy is my dog, she is an absolute angel, and you can absolutely see a photo of her in her sweater, here.

[presleestjames]

I doubt that's it, this is a school full of famous people's kids so they're not gonna just take your classes because they know your name, that would be super duper weird. How do you know you'd be bad at history? You could start teaching it and love it! It could be a new passion.

Oh my word! Poppy is super cute. I love her little sweater.

[natepuck]

Second time? Can I get a story time about that or what? You've got me interested.

Fuck yeah, let's be exploring partners. I heard The Spare Room is the place to go for some drinks. You wanna check it out with me?

[presleestjames]

Oh, yeah! So I tried to do college for a bit when I was 18 but I got bored super quickly and opened my soda shop instead. Then I left to go travelling and, like, sightseeing and stuff, which was super fun and cute, and now I'm back to try college again. I'm not bored so far, so that feels like progress!

Totes. I'm not a big drinker, but I love to dance. Do they have a dance floor?

CONNECTION: CHILDHOOD BEST FRIENDS.

@ivyrutherford

preslee and ivy grew up together, and were best friends all throughout elementary and middle school. when they reached high school, and ivy started getting more and more involved with isaiah, preslee thought nothing of it, especially because in her religion, that was totally normal. they eventually drifted, with preslee travelling and ivy entirely under isaiah’s thumb. preslee is still none the wiser.
