About Me

As my roommate once (quite aptly) described me..."Gypsy island-child through and through, Tashina enjoys nerds, music, traveling, and making the world a better place. Has always been a solid friend and a bit of a goofball, with an enthusiasm that resembles a ferret in a room full of shiny things."
I have dreams about zombies and the end of the world. I'm addicted to cayenne pepper. I love licorice-mint tea. I sleep on my stomach. I appreciate good scotch. My favorite board game is Settlers of Catan, and I'll whoop you at it. I'm terrified of needles, but at one point in time I had 13 piercings and three tattoos. I like reading headstones in cemeteries. I'm a cynical romantic. When it starts to pour buckets of rain, I run outside. I make my own liqueurs. I want to see the world.
