Who is Rachel?

An idiot with long hair who knows too much for her own good.  Just kidding- I know just enough.  I'm getting good at life, actually I am really good at life.  There are tricks, shortcuts to getting what you want and I am figuring them out along the way.  I have absolutely no complaints so far, except for the normal, "god, why is my boss doing this, " sort of crap.  And as you know I've been learning to sing which is going GREAT.  I can really sing now!   Vibrato and everything...  I've been writing songs for so long now and have always been afraid to sing them but that is all changing.  Maybe one day I will record them to share.  I have been so afraid of my voice since middle school, I wouldn't even sing to myself.  It's one of those irrational fears that really stick people in the gut.  I have this thing, though, of taking everything I'm afraid of and everything I think I can't do and doing it anyway.  It really feels good to succeed at something you thought you could never do; it's the only reason I became a waitress.  Once I realized that the things I feared the most were a piece of cake to get over and really be successful at, all fear sort of diminished; not entirely of course, but enough to teach me that fear is not a brick wall.  Why am I on another self improvement tangent?  Not sure...probably because I'm so psyched that I can sing....
