Well hello there. My name is Taryn. Fancy meeting you here...

Some basics.
I am a 24 year old student and violinist. I go to UCLA and I am studying Comparative Literature. I am a total book nerd and would rather read than do just about anything else.

I love to go to shows and concerts. Music is essentially my air. I listen to everything from classical to punk. I don't necessarily like everything I hear, but I will give it a chance.
Notable favorites include: The Smashing Pumpkins, Cat Power, The Dresden Dolls, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, The Specials. I could go on, but I won't.

I am sarcastic to a fault and apparently I sometimes come off as very abrasive. Oops. Basically, if I like you and feel comfortable with you, I'm going to pick on you. If i don't like you, I wouldn't bother. It's a very twisted flattery.

I'm not a fan of the outdoors. I am pale as sin so the Sun and I do not get along. I was once told that not liking the outdoors makes me shallow, I prefer to think of it as a skin investment.

I swear like a sailor. I like to eat. I watch bad reality TV. These are not things that I am ashamed of. If they are a problem for you, please move along.

It seems the "first date" is a dying art. I keep reading, "drinks or coffee" under this section. Since when did ingesting liquid become the cornerstone of the date?
So I say, surprise me. And I mean that. I want to do something that will show me something about YOU and I in turn can show you something about myself. How much can really learn about someone from coffee aside from what they like to drink?
