Rachel

Well this is where it all begins… a long soul pouring “about me” section that is supposed to keep you wildly entertained while I go and prance off in some dandelions and sing about some crazy homeless man that cant eat because his teeth crumbled to ruins due to decay and lack of care… huh... oh yes about me… hahaha… not the homeless man… oh well I tried… well most likely you stopped reading HERE… or you will read to the end… and the odds you’ll read to the end… are not on the favorable side... but if you do manage to read this entire thing.. I promise to buy you a … um… a very delicious milkshake… hehe… first off… my name is Rachel Keyes… I am twenty one years old, and I am full of random information. I have to admit that I am one of the weirdest people you will ever meet due to my random and obscene outburst of knowledge… no I do not suffer from any illnesses that I know of... I wish I could say it wasn’t true but hey… as well… I am person who LIVES to have fun… if it doesn’t capture my interest… then I don’t waste my time... I know that sounds messed up… but just wait… chances are... it’ll capture my interest… I am full of curiosity… I am an empty vessel ready to be fueled with knowledge for the mind heart and soul… my days are spent carefree and full of laughter and joy… if I am not sleeping... and then… well im sleeping… having fun… that is defiantly my favorite thing to do… I appreciate who I am... who I have become... where I come from… and where I just might be going… I don’t come from a great place in life… but even still it has given me the strength to carry on through my days... my family has suffered through many feats… a few we over came... and some have buried us under… but none the less we have proven to keep going and live who we should be… who am I supposed to be? I have absolutely no idea… but isn’t it going to be fun to find out... I have no idea where I am headed in life... I have no idea if I want to fly to the moon... or if I want to jump off a building… I have no idea if I want to have a family... or go jungle hopping in the Amazon… there is just so much out there in life that each and every single day gives me that one step closer to finding myself and one more step back to becoming lost in the seas of adventure and fun… again… restating… I love FUN… once I was asked in high school if I would ever change a single thing in my life… I sat there and thought hard about the question… and decided that I wouldn’t change a single thing about who I am… all the triumphs… all the defeats… all the rights and wrongs… the goods and the bads… they have created the person who sits before you… the person on the other side of your computer screen… the person next to you in school… the one who stands with you in line at the grocery store… the one… and only… yes… me… every single thing I have hurdled or tripped over have helped me become the young woman I have strived to be… even my mistakes… my lies... my deceits... without them… I wouldn’t understand who it is that was laying underneath my breaking shell… the little things are the things that count the most … ya know… as an individual.. I tend to be slightly predictable … yet random… for instance... you can bet that not a day will go by where I will make ANYONE do a double take… is it the attention I strive for.. eh… maybe… but I think its more of a factor of making a difference… my goal in life is to make a difference in as many lives that I can… not exactly be famous… but be infamous to my actions and words… someone who can help anyone through thick and thin… that’s what I am about. As far as my everyday life… I attended Columbia College and Merced College in northern Cali… I am majoring in radiology with an emphasis in ultrasounds… YEA!!! currently right now i serve in the United States Navy... its been a real interesting experience... I do my best to support myself as an independent person… I pay for my own things… not mommy… as a seeking individual there are things I support and don’t support.. like most of us know… I don’t support places with icky food… I don’t support clothing stores that break child labor laws (I think)… and I don’t support negligence and abuse… regardless of any kind… I am your typical California girl… without actually being a California girl… example... I wasn’t born in California… I was born in Las Vegas… I am a purist at heart… I believe in showing natural beauty throw anything... and with such a thought... I don’t wear pounds of make up… or fancy up my hair… I do how ever dye my hair… I have being dying it since my junior year of high school… I am very regulatory in my dye jobs... and that is the color is always a variance of red... and I do it often... the current count of hair dyes are… dun dun dun… 56… yes fifty six times.. is my hair fried… nope... I take good care of it… I as well wear flip flops 365 days a wear… through sun rain and snow… I don’t care where… I am wearing them... my feet are slightly claustrophobic… so they need room... and besides … they are so much more comfy… I have a favorite pair of jeans that I try to wear EVERY SINGLE DAY!!! They are acid washed… and the comfiest things I have ever worn… I also have a favorite tee-shirt… it is a tee-shirt. that I made that says “teeka teeka”… it is a phrase I borrowed from an English professor that means… little by little… at one point in my life I have stretched out my ears... and I plan on doing it again more recently actually… haha… I have a horrible habit of chewing my nails… my own favorite characteristic about myself is my smile… it is genuine and true… it is bright and loving all in the same… I believe it is a gift given to me to help brighten peoples days… over time… I have become less religious and more spiritual… I would say that my spiritual gift would be compassion… I care so much for other people… that I would do anything to help them out… its true... I care just about for everything… I think it is worse off to not care about someone than it is to hate them…... because then, when you hate someone, at least you have the emotion to hate. whereas, if you don’t care about someone, you lack the sense of emotion... as a person... I would assume that I am a very easy person to meet... I will honestly admit at first when I meet people… I have many different reactions… but mostly…I am either a bit too open… or I am a bit shy... but after warming up the thier idea of who they are... I can get a sense of what they are about... then I know how much of me they can handle... does that make sense… even though no matter who I am.. I am me... I pick up on a lot of ideals... I can be hippiesh… I can be punkish... mostly im a big fat nerd… or a big fat dork… etiher one I don’t care… I am me for me… and that reflects my friends… I have so many different kinds of friends… I have friends that are now models or moms… I have friends that are cowboys or cowgirls… I have street racer friends… and friends… er… friend who never leaves his house…. Ahem… saving grace… but regardless of who they are... I treat them all the same… and would expect all of you to do the same… regardless of who they are… I used to have very close friends… but through the picking poll… I have noticed that some have abused my trust too much… so even though I am an open character... I don’t trust easily anymore... if in fact I trust at all… please don’t take this as something offensive... but it is my protection… so yea!!!! Over all… this is me… I have lived on my own sine the ripe age of eighteen… and have learned many a lifes lesson from the experience… it is VERY difficult to juggle work… school… me… you… and everyone else… all in at the same time.. and on top of that… going to sleep… EEK!!!... finally I feel like my dreams are coming true... thats not to say that ive never had dreams come true before... but its like.. finally I have my feet out the door... this situation is only to be described as... well ... living... lemme explain... where are we right now... in a place of growing... but is this all life has to offer... there is so much more... and so much have I been realizing this... im not going to limit myself to subtle standards when I know that I can have what I want... I can achieve that wonderful life... im not saying I dont appreciate where im at right now... because every day... every step is a guiding step... a learning step... I realize more and more every day who I am becoming... and with those surrounding me... it becomes more clear... I looked at myself and realized how much I am growing up and how much I have changed...its definitly a good thing... wow... what a way to end an about me… so this is one of the longest I have seen in a long time... I guess I finally have had some time to put down what I appreciate you know...lets see... well … I have homework to write so I am gonna end this here.. and continue on later... have fun oh and my email is [email protected]
