Lyrics of the Day:

I don't love you

But I always will.

- The Civil Wars // "Poison & Wine"

hey there, interwebz. you can call me Ray!

i'm 16.

i love to write - that's why i'm here. that's just what i like to do. i like to paint, i like to draw - though i have little talent in the particular area, i think it's fun. i have a strong passion for animals and i'm a vegetarian. also, i really, really like vintage things - antiquing, black & whites, frank sinatra & gene kelley, judy garland & fred estaire; old things make me feel at home. finally, i like to play music.

my life-long dream has always been to be the woman to play every known instrument in the world. my inspiration and female idols are judy garland and lights poxleitner; the males are gene kelley and adam young.

i'm here because i want to further my skills in writing and to practice expanding my vocabulary; to become a writer.

how about you?
