1. When my Mum was pregnant she watched a show called 'The Camomile Lawn' which starred Tara Fitzgerald.... Which is where she got my name from!
Which is cool because my first 'encounter' with Tara Fitzgerald was in the film 'Brassed Off' which I studied at A-Level and I looovvveeeddd her and thought it was so cool we were both a 'Tara'.
2. I also loved 'Brassed Off' because it reminded me so much of my time in a Brass Band! So number 2, is that I played in a Brass Band for two years! I loved it, and I can probably still play trumpet, cornet, and soprano cornet. I was the lead/solo cornet!
3. I quit brass band to focus on school and college. I now wish I had pursued music more!
4. I also wish I had further pursued art. I used to be an awesome artist, and I think had I done more art, I would have pursued a career as a tattooist, as it's a very new found passion and love of mine.
5. Something else I did in my younger years was training dogs and competing. I have several awards for this, and I do miss it. But as I grew up I started to lose my passion for that, and found a bigger love for breeding and rearing our dogs.
6. I saved a dogs life. One of our litters, one pup came out very cold and wouldn't feed, so I took him and wrapped him in the blanket and stroked him for over two hours. He survived - he now has loving owners, and his best friend is their son, Alexander. I named the puppy Xander from day one - the owners kept that name. Alex and Xander 
7. You may not know this but err, I love Buffy! I really don't think I've expressed my fandom for Buffy the Vampire Slayer on here enough at ALL. I watch it through at least once a year, and I have specific episodes I watch if I'm feeling sad, if I need cheering up, if I just want to cry etc etc... I really feel like the scoobies are a part of my life in a big way. The older I get the more I appreciate some of the storylines too.
8. I hate Mayo. It's the GROSSEST stuff ever. I'm sort of coming around to it though, I can just about handle it in a sandwich. I can't even stand the smell though, it knocks me sick and it's just one of those things that my body just does not want to go past my lips. EW.
9. One of my favourite memories is dancing with my Grandad. I never knew him, he had severe, severe dementia. So the Grandad I knew was, well, I don't know gone, he couldn't even speak. My Nana used to tell us that parts of his brain had went to sleep. Anyway, sometimes if he was getting upset or something or stressed, I'd sing and he'd start singing back and then he'd grab my hands and dance with me, and it felt like in those moments that for a short time I knew my Grandad.
10. Um um um um ummmmmmmmm..... I can never pick a 'favourite' animal because I'm so indecisive and I love all animals. Same with when I have to pick who I am in a TV show. Part of me is like "Well, I think I'm like Buffy but I'm also shy like Willow, but then I can sometimes be quite tactless like Cordelia!" I can never choose anything and decide on it. It's amazing that I can pick a tattoo that I want to be on me forever, really.
