About Me


About me... well here are some basics:
Name: Rachel Elizabeth Scanlon
Age:26
Location: Pikeville, KY
I love my friends and my family more than anything, and I will do whatever I can to help them.
I have the most wonderful guy in the world, Richard Romine, who I love with all my heart.
I am both Jewish and a Christian. I have faith in God, and with that the knowledge that all things happen for a reason, and according to plan. It might not be MY plan, and I might not understand it all, but there is a plan and a reason nonetheless.
My pets are my kids. If you don't like them, don't visit.
I tend to be a bit of a romantic from time to time.
I like music, art, and nature.
I love horror movies. Even the bad ones.
I have a bit of OCD. Deal with it. If I visit you and start cleaning your house, deal with that as well.
I hate drama. Keep me out of it.
I will always listen to my friends' problems however, if you don't want my honest opinion, don't ask for it. You might get more than you wanted.
I am super protective of my friends. They always "have a Rachel".
My mother is my best friend.
I have become "domestic" in my "old age" and I love to cook, and do odd little craft things. Like make earrings, and blankets. It keeps me busy, and I hate being idle.
I am an Auburn fan by default. If you have problems with this, talk to Richard.
I have no sense of humor before my second cup of coffee of the day.
I am a photo nut. I love taking pictures, being in them might be another story.
I might appear very confident, but I wear my heart on my sleeve, and have more "self esteem issue" days than not. If you know me well, you know this, and have learned to cope.
I have confidence in my ability to do whatever I want to do at the time.
My goal in life is to be happy and be wherever I need to be at any given time.
I strive to have no regrets. Everything that has happened to me in life has happened for a reason, and has helped to make me who I am. And for the most part, I like me.
I am honest to a fault.
I can be a bit spastic.
I will act like a 3 year old from time to time. Especially if it involves animals.
I like to sing. It might be in the key of x, but oh well.
I am addicted to coffee and tattoos.
I have some issues with alcohol. Due to my own bout with it, and the way some people in my life were effected by it. I don't drink a lot.
Contrary to what people might think, I have never been "into" drugs. I don't like them. I don't want them around me. My friends know this and accept this. What they do on their time is up to them, just don't do it around me!
When I love, I love with everything that I have. I don't think you can love in slices, nor do I think you can change people. I accept everyone for who they are, and for the most part, I like everyone.
I tend to be laid back and easy to get along with, so long as you can accept my thoughts and opinions. You don't have to agree with me. We can agree to disagree and get along just fine.
It takes quite a bit to make me really angry.
If I say I need to think about something before I give an opinion, let me think about it! Odds are if you "force" me into saying something in that sort of situation, you won't like what I have to say!!
I am grateful for all of my friends. I have a long list of people that have been there for me throughout the years, and I cherish each and every one of them.
What my friends have to say about me:
1. succubus A demoness from Hell whose sole purpose is to drain the souls of men by having sex with them while they are asleep. Also referred to as the "Temptress of the Night".If you wake up feeling very weak, and with a painful erection, you probably made love to a succubus. ~minta
Rachel is one of the strongest, most beautiful and random people I know. While her physical beauty is stunning it’s her inner beauty and personality that are truly amazing. She is a loyal friend and when she cares about something or someone, she loves with all of her heart. She may become distracted mid-sentence for anything furry or shiny but that just makes it more entertaining to talk with her. She is a renaissance woman expressing herself through art, poetry, acting and MySpace. It may not seem this way at first glance, but under the tattoos and piercing of the girl who likes rock music and horror movies there is an extremely intelligent woman who can quote Byron while doing crossword puzzles and listening to Norah Jones (although she can also be found doing that in the back of a bar while drinking Patron!) Rachel is simply an all around amazing person and I consider my life better for knowing her. ~ray tantzen
exotic, provocative, amazing, animal lover, smart, sweet as can be, truly amazing. smart, funny, sensitive, beautiful, sexy, fun, intriguing, mesmerizing; the grail :) ~richard
"Rachel Scanlon...Yeah so what can I say about her that someone hasn't already said about her? Well for one, the instant I saw her behind the coffee bar at UNA I felt an immediate connection with her. A friendship grew and then a relationship. However, we left ourselves on not so good terms and I've regretted that since the day we last talked. Then out of the Myspace sea a message pops up in my inbox and lo and behold! There it was, an unread treasure waiting to be opened and received. It's funny how years can separate people, but never truly divide. The moment I read it and I had to message back. The friendship I thought we had lost was still hanging .. all those years and for me to have the opportunity to help that friendship grab onto the next rung I couldn't pass that up. It goes to show you that a friendship with Rachel is one that will last even if you didn't think it would." ~ Gary H.

"You can't do anything about the length of your life,
but you can do something about its width and depth."
Rest in peace, Cayce. A thousand people will miss you. I feel so blessed that I had the honor of knowing you the past 19 years, and I wish more people had the opportunity to know you. You always made me smile, and thinking about you still does! I'll see ya again darlin. Love you always.
The pathway is broken and the signs are unclear,
and I don't know the reason why You brought me here;
but just because You love me the way that You do,
I'm gonna walk through the valley if You want me to.
Cause I'm not who I was when I took my first step
and I'm clinging to the promise You're not through with me yet;
so if all of these trials bring me closer to You -
Then I will walk through the fire if You want me to.
It may not be the way I would have chosen
when you lead me through a world that's not my home,
but You never said it would be easy;
You only said I'd never go alone.
So when the whole world turns against me,
and I'm all by myself;
and I can't hear You answer my cries for help;
I'll remember the suffering Your love put You through,
and I will go through the valley if You want me to.
