Tamlyn

Tamlyn is a very sweet person, she's funny talkative and adventurous but she is also very shy so it might take her a while to become close to her.
She's not like the other girls who dress up like sluts she likes to dress practically but yet cute but because of this she doesn't get much attention from boys Wich in turn makes her very self conscious.

Person A: u know Tamlyn?
Person B: yeh. She's kinda quiet I don't really talk to her much.
Person A: DUUUUDE! She's so fukin funny once u get to know her she's super nice to

The name of a girl who won't ever stop fighting for what is right. She's the best friend a person could had and completely reliable. She never gives up on you and sometimes she cares about her friends more than herself.

Tamlyn

A breed of human made of pure amazingness. Seeing, hearing, tasting, touching, smelling any sort of Tamlyn-like thing with cause a severe brain implosion. The only way to combat the awesomeness of a Tamlyn is with shitty Rage Against the Machine music, though in most cases it only angers the Tamlyn and does not stop it. To placate a Tamlyn you must feed it delicious food and hand over all valuables.

"Hey is that awesome or what?"
"Yeah, but oh SHIT, is that a Tam-"
BOOOOOOOOMPSHHHHHH. *Brain implosion*
"Yeah, that had to be a Tamlyn*
