My Life

I was born in a hospital on the 31st of August, 1992 at 5:50am to the proud Gilbert and Sylvia Walsh. With one look at my dark, scruffy hair and little face, my name was decided upon: Raychel. For the first seven years of my life I lived in a small cottage with the adorable title "Daintree Cottage" with my older Brother Jonathan. Five years after I was born we were (cough) gifted with another girl, my sister Samantha. Two years after that, we were blessed with the life of Alexandra, though she was only able to live for three weeks.

After moving away from the cottage to escape the dark memories of a lost child, we landed in Stubbington, in the south of England. I was enrolled in the nearest school where I became friends with my oldest male companion: Lewis. After that my other friends became indispensable to me, and have lasted from year 2 to the year I am in now, which is 11.

I am now preparing to take my GCSEs and picking a University to go to, as well as planning my finances. Other than that, I am spending my time watching too much anime for my health and talking to my dear friend Camy on MSN.

Extra Info

My name is Raychel, not Rachael or Rachelle. {the y annoys people like hell :]) I really hate people who are idiots for no reason, because they are wasting their life.

I love my friends.
They are my world, seriously. I think that without them, I wouldn't be where I am today. And if anyone, even someone I love, messes with one of my friends, I will mess with them. Mostly using clever speech - I'm good at that.

I try to be there for everyone, no matter what.
It can be hard sometimes, but I try my best. Everyone needs a shoulder to cry on, and I feel that I can be that shoulder for anyone that wants it. I don't want my friends to feel like they can't talk to me, and I don't want people who I know to feel like they shouldn't/can't talk to be either - I am here for everyone, even if I don't really like them that much.

I hate it when people stereotype each other. I mean, what's the point? It will either hurt the person, make them cocky, or make them angry. Just let people be who they want to be, not force them to be something they are not. I act emoish at times, sure, but I am a nice person. I don't want to have to pretend to be a person that I am not, even if I like a person who acts like that. If they love me, they'd love me for who I am, not what I could be.

I would never be able to be on my own.
My friends are my life. They pick me up when I am down, they make me smile when I am sad, and they help with with anything and everything. Without them, I would be nothing. My family has always been here to support and care for me, even when we are far apart, and I would never be able to live without that support. Each person in my life gives me something to hold onto, and when I can't take the pressure anymore, I just think of them and I feel better.

Anime is my drug.
I love anime so much. It helps me to pass the time and allows me to fall into a world where you can bring people back to life with swords or making things come out of the ground using your hands. When I am feeling down, it cheers me up, makes me laugh, and it gives me something to share with my friends. It's a wonderful thing that - though it sounds strange - makes my life just that much closer to being complete and perfect.

And I don't want the world to see me,
because I don't think that they'd understand,
When everything's made to be broken,
I just want you to know who I am...
