I really really suck at writing bios. Autobios. I don't really know why everybody calls them biographys. They're not. If you're writing about yourself, its an autobiography hah.

Anyways, hey. I'm Tara. 15 years old. My birthdays sometime in February. I live in sunny Cali. Let's see... what else.. I think I should just start out by stating the obvious.

I'm a pretty music obsessed person. I play the organ, piano, various mallet instruments, various percussion instruments, flute, and a little bass guitar. I'm trying to get better at it but that's probably never going to happen. Music's a pretty big part of my life. I don't know why. I'm in our school band. I was in concert/symphonic band since 5th grade but now I'm just in the marching band.

I'm also really into theatre. I took beginning drama my freshman year and really loved it and actually grew kind of close to the drama director at our school, Smith. I just love to act. Again, I have no idea why. I'm just really into the arts and plan to explore every aspect of it for the next two years in high school before I decide officially what I'm going to do for the rest of my life.

I believe I should be doing something I love to do because wouldn't it suck to have to wake up every morning for the next 40 years knowing you have to do something you dread doing? Why not have a career involving something you're passionate about? Currently, I've got two plans for myself. 1) Psychiatrist/psychologist and an accompanist on the side. 2) Professional performer. I'm taking classes at the San Fransisco Conservatory of Music to see if I can actually accomplish career goal numbero due.

I'm an extremely open person. And open-minded. And I say absolutely anything on my mind. Not stuff like "I hate your shoes." More like "God I have to piss."

I like a very odd assortment of music. From Frank Sinatra (<3!) to Nightwish (<3!!). Nightwish is my favorite band of all time. A symphonic power metal band from Finland. Amazing band. Amazing composer. Amazing people.

I'm currently learning about myself. A lot of it is things I don't like. I'm realizing there are two sides of me that constantly conflict, which makes me a pretty indecisive person.

I have no stereotype. I really don't.

I suffer from clinical depression, since October '05. I'm not just another depressed emo teenager. I have real problems. With my family, and mostly with myself.

I guess I'll close this sad excuse for an autobiography with my religious beliefs. I have none. I don't believe in God. Though I still respect those who do. I hate arguments about religion. I believe everybody has the right to believe in whatever they want to. I don't run around telling everybody I don't believe in Him. I just avoid religion at all costs and focus on what's right in front of me.

Hello, I am Tara.
