About Me


Hi! I'm Rachel. I'm very idealistic and I value my beliefs above all things. Music is life. I love singing and being on stage, even though I'm not so amazing at either thing. When I'm alone, all I do is sing and play guitar. I'm one of those crazy choir people who enjoys singing Italian, German and French art songs. I've also been writing some of my own music lately (Listen to a couple of my songs at www.myspace.com/rachelpomeranz). I'm hopelessly in love with indie rockers such as Ben Gibbard and Colin Meloy. I also really dig operas (my favourites being La Boheme and Madama Butterfly) and Broadway musicals (my favourites being Les Misérables, Sweeney Todd and Ragtime).

I'm pretty intense when it comes to my emotions. I'm not sure why, I guess that's just how I am. I always need an outlet to express myself. I don't do very well with things that involve structure, such as math, multiple choice questions or cleaning my room. The stable nature of such activities doesn't go well with my unstable personality.

I have an infatuation with the sounds of French, Italian, and other foreign languages. I'm also trying to learn Zulu, but that's not going too well. I think that the modern English language is mostly unattractive. However, the words "may" and "delight" are beautiful enough to make up for linguistic atrocities such as "moist" and "from".

I love cats so very, very much. I don't drink alcohol or do drugs, but I can get high off of chamomile tea. I enjoy making chocolate truffles. Most of the time I feel like I was born in the wrong time period. I try to stay open-minded politically, but the truth is, I'm a liberal and damn proud of it!
I can't wait to go on a big adventure. I want to travel to Africa someday so I can get to know the people there and help in whatever way I can. I also want to go on a huge bike trip. I love camping and being outside in the woods. The forest is my sanctuary. And the beach. They're both really cool.

I'm an atheist, but I'm also a very spiritual person. (Does that make any sense?) You see, I believe that you can find inspiration anywhere, as long as you don't look too hard for it. And when you find that inspiration, you know there must be something more to life, and that you just got a glimpse of it, even if it was only for a fragment of a second. But I don't think that has anything to do with a higher power, I think it's just that the world is a beautiful thing. Even when people are terrible, they are still beautiful somehow. I'll always believe that, no matter what happens.

I actually enjoy school and learning. If I could be a student for the rest of my life, I'd be content to do so. I just can't stand homework though. I firmly believe that (in most cases) it destroys creativity and causes students to lose sight of their love for learning, while at the same time serving no practical academic purpose.

Even though I waste a lot of time searching for happiness, I'm actually very easily pleased. Simple things like the feeling of the sun on my back or watching someone hold the door for someone else tend to make me deliriously happy.

I love autumn for some reason.

I'm probably the most hopeless romantic you'll ever meet. Sometimes it gets me down, but oh well. I can't help myself. In the words of Friedrich Nietzsche: "There is always some madness in love. But there is also always some reason in madness."

All you need is love!!!!!

...Yay for me rambling incoherently!

Your Quirk Factor: 80%
You're so quirky, it's hard for you to tell the difference between quirky and normal. No doubt about it, there's little about you that's "normal" or "average." How Quirky Are You?
You fit in with:
Spiritualism

40% spiritual.
60% reason-oriented.

Your ideals are mostly spiritual, but in an individualistic way. While spirituality is very important in your life, organized religion itself may not be for you. It is best for you to seek these things on your own terms.

yours. However, there is a downside. Because

experiences that will teach you some people
just aren't meant to be trusted.
