• Info

  My name is Rachel, I'm 18 years old, I live in the south and have a very large family. I'm catholic and I attend a performing arts school. I love to sew (even though everything I sew is lopsided) and I LOVE to read and I have a miniature library in my room. I love just about every type of music i've heard so far (except Techno). I'm learning how to play guitar and while I enjoy it, my family would probably rather it if I would knock it off, mostly because I will always be a beginner guitarist.
