:06:01
I'm still the same Taryn.
:06:05
When I was first chosen,
I was, like, really immature.
:06:09
But I've grown so much
since then.
:06:12
I can hardly believe it's me.
:06:15
I'm a beach person
and a night person.
:06:19
I really feel sorry for anyone
who doesn't live in California,
:06:22
'cause we've got it all...
the mountains, the sun.
:06:25
And, like, there's no humidity.
:06:28
It really blows me away.
:06:30
Here, out of the public eye,
I can just fade into the crowd.
:06:35
In New York, I get hassled all
the time. I don't understand it.
:06:39
Laguna offers me
peace and solitude...
:06:43
away from the pressure
ofbeing a Plaything.
:06:46
Here in Laguna,
I can just let my mind go blank.
:06:53
Art is my life.
:06:59
I love to browse
Laguna's art galleries,
:07:02
and my dream is to one day...
:07:05
have some of my things
hanging here.
:07:08
But my real strength
comes from my family...
:07:12
and my strong
religious upbringing.
:07:15
I'll always be grateful to my mom and
dad and the values they've given me,
:07:20
which help me take on
the awesome responsibilities...
:07:25
of Plaything of the Month.
:07:43
Selma, look at this reception.
:07:49
[Click] Beaver, did you bring home
a note from your teacher today?
:07:52
Oh, no, Dad. That's one of your
jokes I haven't heard before.
:07:54
[Woman] Record warm temperatures
tomorrow. Unbelievable!
:07:58
Best investment I ever made. [Kiss]
