Hi, I'm Tara and I really don't like these blog things, I find them rather annoying but that's besides the point. I need it for my class, so I'll deal with it for now.

So... I'm Tara, as i said before, I live in Willow Grove, its not a very interesting place. Although one time they sent the squat team to disarm some man who barricaded himself in his house a few years ago, he was supposedly 'armed and dangerous'... But he wasn't, he was not even armed, they had to wait till dusk before they went in, it took all of two seconds to get the man out, that was ridiculous, but a good way to meet your neighbors.

But that really doesn't have much to do with me dose it? Well, lets see... I love art, it has helped me get though some hard things in my life that i don't know how i would have overcame otherwise. Di spite the fact I'm going to art school, i still feel very new to art in general. Before high school i had no idea if I had any talent, I couldn't draw, I couldn't do anything before i took my first real art class and really didn't make anything slightly notable until my Junior year so I was very happy when i got in to Tyler.

My whole life I have wanted to be an artist and to go to this school and later go on to teach, it's what I always talked about when I was little and some how it happened even thought for years i didn't think it could. I think the reason I love art in general is because it has no limits and can allow the viewer to, in a way, experience the impossible. I believe it can bring hope and understanding to people who need it, and help the artist in much the same way.
What else... well umm... I sing, I make portraits of people out of wire, I like to teach people, I love music and listen to just about everything with an exclusion of rap. I am a lord of the rings geek, i cant help it.. its all the hobbits fault I tell you... Ducks amuse me for some reason and for some reason, in my experince a good converstation starter. Lets see... well i could live on potatos, potatos brocilii and cheese=the best meal ever.
So yea. Thats me...
Well a little bit of me anyway...
