Atlantic Roleplay Community Boards

[Rachel]

Yea, it's my real name!!! Woot for me! I figured I'd jump on the bandwagon here...

Yes in case you haven't guessed my name is Rachel, born and raised with that name in Williamsport, PA! (That is about 30-45 minutes from State College, depending on who's driving.) I moved away from there when I was 20, and move to San Dimas, CA, which is in the LA area. After moving there, I met up with Valatin, who I'd known from UO for about 3 years or so. We hit it off better than was expected, and now here we are 3+ years later. Married, with two boys, and living in Oregon. We were lucky in finding each other from UO, so I guess that's one reason it's been hard to even think of leaving UO ever.

I've played UO since... the end of 97, after I stopped playing Quake2, and my friends from back home got me into it. I was on Baja, weird huh? I lived on the east coast, and played a west coast server. Now it's vice versa. And I can't honestly tell you how many people I've met from UO, but it's been a good amount, mainly from Baja. So far though the count from Atlantic is up to 3!!! Tracy, Ken and Pier/Grig all came up and we had a blast over the 4th. Those guys are weird! Do not give Tracy smores! Ken and I have known each other for... a long time. Since he used to play Baja with me, and he's been a great friend of mine for a long time. I never really started roleplaying until I got tricked into playing on Europa, and then I had to stop after I had my first son. But I definately enjoyed it, and Baja just doesn't have the roleplay community that you all do here. So here I am!

As I said I grew up in Williamsport, which is where the Little League world series is for all you baseball fans out there. I used to go every year!! I graduated high school in '99. And hopefully I plan on going to college here in Salem soon. I used to play baseball, softball, basketball, swim, and yes I was a band geek!!! *hides* I was more into basketball and swimming than anything, and the whole being a band geek thing was just because I love music. And for some reason I was the only person in the family to even have a talent for it. Which if you knew my family, you would know I was the weirdo. I liked it though. The competitions were fun. And my school usually ranked 1st-3rd place in the finals.

Believe it or not... I'm a pretty shy person. But once I open up, I love to have fun. And I value my friendships. So the way I see it, I can be your best friend or your worst enemy. It's your choice. I do however speak my mind when I feel it is necessary. It was how I was raised. So that's when I can come off as a wench sometimes I guess, but I'm really not!!! I love everyone!! Really... I do.

Well, I think that's pretty much me. Now I just spend my days playing housewife and mommy, along with UO of course. Not sure when I'll get a job again. I kind of like being around my kids, although when I start talking gibberish, then I start to worry. But at least my 2 year old can understand me right?
