My name is Tara but I like to make up nicknames for myself which include: Tarawr, pterodactyl (or Taradactyl), and arat.

I am a native Las Vegan. Nevada is a beautiful state but Las Vegas is ugly (to me!). I'm actually named after Tara Avenue here in town (my mom saw the street sign when pregnant!). I recently left my home state and moved to Rhode Island. I like it much better :)

My favorite color is purple.

Comment: You are amazing. I love to bridge pc and the state map and I love even more that you mailed both written on and not in an envelope that's my favorite. Thank you.
Response: Yay! I am glad you received both postcards :) I hate sending postcards in an envelope!
