Random Facts about Rachel:

1. I actually go by Rachel Elizabeth – Growing up, I always loved my middle name “Elizabeth”, mainly because it was Lizzie McGuire’s name… but I never really thought about it.  Once I hit the age where I had to sign for checks and bills… I realized I like saying that my name is Rachel Elizabeth [insert last name here]—so I figure my full name is Rachel Elizabeth, but I’m called Rachel.

2. I had bangs last year! Don’t believe me??? Ch-ch-check it out:

Not sure what possessed me to get bangs, but I kinda liked them, they were very bold—a hassle—but bold.

3. I’m scared of the dark: True story, I still sleep with the covers over my head

4. I still wear my retainers from when I was 12 to bed: Dentist always tells me to keep wearing them, so I just figure I’ll take them to the grave Hey, at least my kids will have a live demonstration on how to wear and care for their retainers.

…only I’m sure theirs won’t be as awesome as mine.. I mean mine have a cat sticker on the inside!

5. I almost never brush my hair: Gross? Weird? Sure….

I comb it when I get out of the shower and figure that works! I don’t think I own a brush anymore actually…

6. My sister is my Best Friend! We’re like super close.. like apparently a lot closer than most sisters.  But I wouldn’t have it any other way  

7. I know every line to the first Harry Potter movie: I was obsessed.. I loved Harry Potter so much that me and my friend in High School had a fanfiction… I was dating Remus and she was dating Sirius… although I always secretly had a thing for Harry

8. I talk really fast: but I guess that’s a given since I’m from NY and most New Yorkers are known for talking fast

9. I can’t whistle or snap my fingers: never. Everyone has tried to teach me and it’s no use, I just can’t do it.

10. I’m double jointed in my hands: I can “tilt” my index finger and bend my wrist backwards lol and that totally sound disgusting, but I swear it doesn’t hurt one bit!

11. I almost never curse: I just find it unattractive and harsh
