Rachelle From Kansas

Slightly distorted melodic solo. . . CHECK!

About Me

Yeah, I'm Rachelle. Yeah, I am from Kansas. Yeah, we have tornados here, but we also have technology believe it or not.
I am a weird, fun-loving dork who loves music, animals, traveling, and adventures. I talk really fast, in fact, sometimes I talk so fast that I don't even know what I said. Perfumes/colognes give me headaches, but deodorant is cool. I rarely sleep. I don't like chocolates, cut flowers or store bought cards. I'm not pale by choice, I have a sun allergy. I don't wear contacts or glasses, but I think glasses are attractive. I love useless knowledge. I still suck at spelling. I am content at staring at a wall for hours, I enjoy thinking. I think of a lot of questions that are weird, or as the philosophical kids say, 'deep.' I'm fascinated by maps, so much so that I have a good portion of the US highways committed to memory. I am for the Metric system. I am Pro Regret. I arrange my movies by genre, then director, then release date not alphabetically. Compact discs, however, are all arranged alphabetically by artist. I hate the smell of smoke, yet I like the way a smokey hand smells. I think people who play the lottery should put their money in stocks instead. I love watching gory films and autopsies, but also Meerkat Manor. I think superheroes and monsters rule! I think McDonald's should serve breakfast all day long. On a final note, I have an awesome asian boyfriend who's mom use to eat dog!!!
Yeah. . .I don't intend to update this thing often. Sometimes you have to do thing you don't want to do because it is part of the process. I like short cuts, I cut corners, but sometimes there is no getting out of it. I wanted to read my friend's pages, but didn't want an account, but damnit! It's all part of the process.

My Interests

Being awesome, making people laugh, dorking out, telling stories. Umm, concerts, trying my luck at piano and guitar, roadtrips, basically "I'm down for, whatever."--TGUK

I'd like to meet:

Someone who would give me a large sum of money with no catch. I also wouldn't mind meeting Todd Sparrow and Captain Geech And The Shrimp Shack Shooters. . .

Music:

I like most every genre of music. Power Pop is my favorite, plus rock, metal, some hip hop, experimental, blues, jazz, "punk," punk, classic rock, new wave, oldies, and got to love the hair bands.
