hello!  you can call me ray or rach

dunno why i'm still here after all these years... tbh i kind of mostly just forgot about this place, lol.

ultimately i'd like to have interesting conversations and make friends with people from all over the world!

despite being a bit bad at sending first messages, i do love to talk once a rapport has been established, so please feel free to come say hello! (but please do have a more original message to send than simply just 'hello' or 'hi').

photography, listening to music an exorbitant amount, playing video games, writing/journaling, thrifting/antiquing, and watching sports (mainly baseball & sometimes soccer).  i also enjoy lots of outdoorsy stuff like hiking, camping, walking, biking, traveling, & just generally exploring.

i love music and will listen to pretty much anything. my most favorite genres are rock/metal, pop, rnb/soul, and edm.  i also enjoy kpop, hip-hop, bluegrass/folksy stuff, classical, jazz, and much more.  feel free to share your favorite music with me!

some favorite artists: 8485, au/ra, the birthday massacre, bts, chvrches, deftones, dreamcatcher, epik high, felivand, the gathering, halsey, illenium, laufey, lizzy mcalpine, masego, nothing,nowhere., one ok rock, parannoul, rina sawayama, spiritbox, static dress, tezatalks, willow, yakui the maid, and a bunch more.

i don't watch tv much, but a few shows i've liked recently are the good place, jane the virgin, bob's burgers, and bojack horseman.
