About Me

"Live Your Life Like A Rave Machine"
Well, what to say??? I'm Rachel and i find it amusing when people accidentally hurt themselves because i'm quite sadistic. I'm vertically challenged, but i never notice how short i am until i find myself looking in a mirror with a normal height person stood next to me. I love Heavy Metal, absolutely love it. My favourite band being My Ruin, now Tairrie B, that girl's got class. I will pretty much listen to anything if it's got a heavy beat or a decent tune that can be danced to, i'm not a metal purist. I listen to a variety of things, from Metal and Dance to Motown and Swing, i've been getting into house, happy hardcore and acid more recently. If you can dance well you're hot no matter what, i will dance even if i am the only person doing so, i really don't care, i'm there to enjoy the music not to be self conscious about whether or not people like my dance style. I don't understand people that go to gigs and just stand there or occasionally nod their head or tap their foot, what's the point in going to see live music if you're going to do that, you could do that at home. I'll try anything once if you give me a chance, how do you know you don't like something if you haven't tried it???
I love Gothic style but my own style's a blend of Goth/Metaller/Cyber/Raver/Whatever the hell i decide to dress up as. I tend to just jump between styles depending upon my mood, i'm also limited because the kind of clothes i want always seem to be stupidly overpriced so i make do with what i have. I love expressing myself through my clothes and make up, i get inspired by so many different styles, at the moment it's tending to be the 1990's clubbing scene and glamour from the 1940's and a tiny, tiny bit of Harajuku fashion. I dislike how there are certain people that won't speak to me unless i'm properly "gothed up" as it were. That's quite sad, the same goes for people that won't speak to me if i am dressed obscurely. I had to stop being friends with one person because they were too embarassed to be seen in public with me, obviously he wasn't really a friend in the first place. I also dislike people telling me i can't like Metal if i like stuff like Happy Hardcore, well i do, so shove it. I have a penchant for anything fluorescent or lime green, especially lime green, i just love the colour, it's so fun! I love to get trashed. However i respect people that don't drink/smoke/take drugs/have sex, for whatever reason, willpower is very admirable.
I try to get to as many gigs, festivals and events as possible, i find it leads to a more varied life with lots of interesting people. Poi spinning is pretty much my only other hobby, most people i know have never heard of it, so i don't blame you if you haven't either. It's a traditional performance art invented by the Maori tribe in New Zealand, go google it.
I'm generally really loud and i find it hard to keep my mouth shut, i'm very opinionated and i like having my say, i love debating and talking politics, i like to be informed about the world i live in. Don't get into an argument with me unless you mean it :), you will probably regret it as i don't give in easily. I am however, perfectly willing to accept when i'm wrong, even if i make myself look like a twat first. I'm very blunt, i don't sugar coat things i just get straight to the point. If you piss me off believe me you'll know about it. If i have something to say about you i'll say it to your face. I hate bitching. Don't judge me and i won't judge you, simple as. Don't ever try and tell me what to do because i certainly won't listen, i'm very stubborn and impatient, it's my life, let me get on with it.
I'm at Reading University studying Pharmacy and i absolutely love it. I've met some wonderful people and i'm doing something i thoroughly enjoy.

I Don't Love:

*Tight jeans on guys, they look crap and are probably doing some kind of irreversible damage to a very important area.
*Most "emo" hair cuts (they all look the fucking same, ie like someone took a hedgetrimmer and attacked your hair with it)
*Phonecalls
*Playstations
*Cliques
*Ignorance - Sexism, Racism, Prejudice etc
*Stupidly expensive designer clothes
*Getting tanned/fake tan, it looks crap in my opinon as most people end up orange
*London, it's a shit city, most people only like it because of the designer shops, and while they're spending stupid amounts of money on stuff that isn't even worth it, there's people in the gutter just around the corner. It makes me sick.
*The OC - face it, it's shit
*Being judged on my appearance, people seem to think i can't have normal conversations, that i do drugs and beat people up at death metal gigs and am intimidating because of the way i dress and the music i listen to, if you got to know me before making all these assumptions, you'd see how wrong you are. I really am not a nasty person, i just stand up for myself, if you're intrigued by what i'm wearing or find it really odd, or you don't understand the concept behind it, please come talk to me about it, i love talking to people about my style and explaining why i dress the way i do. I'd much rather people did that than start silly rumours that aren't true.
*Being told that i'd look better if i dressed differently, screw you, i'll dress any damn way i please, i'm sick of people that bitch about the way i dress, i don't give a fuck what you wear so why should you care what i wear. Is the way i dress really that offensive to you??? does it really impact on your life??? - I don't think so, grow up.
*Being ill/Hangovers
*Dwelling on the past
*Being told what to do
*People who take religion to an extreme and try to force their beliefs on you eg the guy that stands in Banbury telling everyone they're sinners, who the hell does he think he is???
*How highstreet stores never have size 6s
*How CDs cost twice as much here as they do in the states - rip off!!!
*Actually, come to think of it, how everything is like 5 times cheaper in America.
*Social Hierarchies
*Betrayal, people just don't seem to have any loyalty these days.
