..
*MY NAME IS RACHEL.
*I LIVE IN A SMALL TOWN.
*IT SUCKS THERE.
*I'M KIND OF BORED WITH MYSPACE.
*BUT, CAN'T STOP.
*I WANT TO HELP PEOPLE AND CHANGE THE WORLD.
*THAT WORRIES ME.
*I BROKE MY ANKLE SENIOR YEAR RUNNING DOWN A FLIGHT OF STAIRS.
*I SHOULD HAVE LISTENED TO MY MOTHER.
*I TEND TO FORGIVE, BUT NEVER FORGET.
*I HOLD SECRET GRUDGES.
*BUT ONLY OVER STUFF WORTH HOLDING GRUDGES OVER.
*IT'S HARD TO PISS ME OFF.
*BUT WHEN YOU DO, WATCH OUT.
*MY HAIR NEVER COOPERATES.
*I DYE IT AT LEAST ONCE A MONTH.
*I WILL NEVER BE CLOSE WITH MY DAD.
*I HAVE TOO HIGH OF EXPECTATIONS FOR MY FRIENDS.
*BUT, WHY SHOULDN'T I?
*NO ONE LIKES GETTING HURT.
*I DON'T REALLY HAVE THAT MANY FRIENDS.
*AT LEAST NOT MANY THAT I CONSIDER FRIENDS.
*I GET BORED easily.
*I [hate] DRAMA.
*BUT, I LIVE IN THE CAPITAL OF ALL OF IT.
*CHANCES ARE I FLAT OUT LIKE YOU.
*OR DON'T.
*UNTIL YOU PROVE ME OTHERWISE.
*I [hate] LIARS AND LYING.
*JUST TELL ME THE DAMN TRUTH.
*CHANCES ARE I'LL FIND IT OUT.
*OR YOU SLIP AND TELL ME ANYWAY.
*I [hate] FAKE PEOPLE.
*I [hate] WHEN PEOPLE GO BEHIND MY BACK.
*I [hate] CLOSE MINDED PEOPLE.
*I'M PRETTY OPEN MINDED ABOUT MOST THINGS.
*EVERYONE IS GOOD IN MY EYES.
*I [hate] BEING SAD OR UPSET.
*BUT AM, FAR TOO OFTEN.
*I'M A CLOSEST NERD.
*I COULD LISTEN TO A WHOLE ALBUM, AND NOT KNOW ONE WORD OF IT.
*BUT CHANCES ARE IN LESS THAN A WEEK, I'LL KNOW THE WORDS,
*BECAUSE I KNOW ALMOST EVERY WORD TO ALMOST EVERY SONG IN MY 400+ CD COLLECTION.
*I LOVE SHOPPING.
*IT'S A RELEASE FOR ME.
*IF I HAVE A REALLY BAD DAY, I'M AT THE MALL.
*I FEEL NAKED IF I FORGET TO WEAR MY NECKLACE.
*I [hate] MAKING DECISIONS.
*PROBABLY BECAUSE...
*I FOCUS ON EVERY OTHER PERSON'S FEELINGS BEFORE I WOULD MINE.
*SOMETIMES I GET URGES TO RUN OR JUMP.
*OR BREAK OUT INTO SPONTANEOUS DANCE PARTIES.
*I LIKE TAKING PICTURES.
*I DEFINATELY SING IN THE SHOWER.
*BEING "POPULAR" MEANS NOTHING TO ME.
*I'M HAPPY WHERE I'M AT.
*I LOVE INSIDE JOKES.
*AND HOW THEY CAN MAKE A MOMENT SO MUCH MORE FUN.
*I GET DISTRACTED EASILY.
*I LIVED IN A HOLIDAY INN IN MY FIRST SEMESTER AT SCHOOL BECAUSE THE DORMS WERE OVERBOOKED.
*I MET MY BESTEST FRIENDS THERE.
*I HANG WITH THE COOLER KIDS.
*BECAUSE WE LIKE PUNK MUSIC.
*AND LICKING STOP SIGN POLES.
*I HAVE A LIP, A NOSE, AND AN EYEBROW PIERCING.
*I WANT A TATTOO.
*BUT AM TOO SCARED TO GET ONE.
*I LOVE RUNNING AROUND BAREFOOT.
*IF I DON'T HAVE TO WEAR SHOES, I PROBABLY WON'T.
*BUT I HAVE A MILLION PAIRS ANYWAYS.
*I LOVE OLD-SCHOOL SHOWS LIKE CARE BEARS, FRAGGLE ROCK, SALUTE YOUR SHORTS, HEY DUDE, WHAT WOULD YOU DO?, GUMMIE BEARS, CHIP AND DALE'S RESCUE RANGER, TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES.
*YOU GET THE POINT.
*I HAVE A COVER TO ALMOST EVERY SONG IMAGINABLE.
*I'M A LITTLE ADDICTED TO MY CELL PHONE.
*I LOVE GOING TO SHOWS.
*LOCAL AND MAINSTREAM.
*I'M PRETTY MUCH A LOSER.
*MY LIPS LIKE CHAPSTICK.
*I CAN'T SIT THROUGH A HORROR MOVIE WITHOUT TELLING THE GIRL TO not GO UPSTAIRS.
*I HAVE A very SARCASTIC LOOK ON LIFE.
*I'M not MALIBU BARBIE.
*AND I never WILL BE.
*MY FAMILY IS MY WORLD.
*BLOOD IS THICKER THAN WATER.
*I'M CONSIDERED ONE OF THE GUYS.
*I ALWAYS HAVE BEEN.
*AND PROBABLY ALWAYS WILL BE.
*I LOVE PLAYING VIDEO GAMES.
*I LIKE TO PRETEND THAT TIME STANDS STILL.
*THERE IS SO MUCH MORE ABOUT ME.
*STUFF I COULD NEVER PUT INTO WORDS,
*BUT WANT TO TELL THE WHOLE WORLD.
The human spirit knows, deep down, that all lives intersect. That death doesn’t just take someone, it misses someone else, and in the small distance between being taken and being missed, lives are changed.
