Hello, I am la-vita-bella. Just for a little Italian lesson, it means the beautiful life. Okay, so I'll tell some useless information about me, then the story stats, and a bunch of other junk. Enjoy the stories and please comment! Ciao!

Random Updates: Hullo, world! Wow, I haven't been on in I think a year. Well, I'm back, and hopefully for quite a while. I have a story that I've just refused to put up because it's been my baby, but everyone has to grow up some time, right? Expect it soon.

Name: Rachel

About moi: Um...well, the best way to get to know me is through talking. Shoot me an e-mail. But if you're shy, computer-challenged, or just want the basics, then listen up. I like to write, but I doubt I could ever make a career of it, seeing as I mostly write your basic love-stories...just with two boys. (Mostly slash here, folks). I love to watch movies. I love food, especially new and exotic foods. I like taking pictures of scenery. I love being with my friends and meeting new people. That's about it for now.

P.S. I love reviews! -Especially constructive criticism--I want to get better, duh. But even a nice, "I love this," or "Keep writing," is enough to make my day and encourage me. :) Drop a line.

Interests: Writing, drawing, music, acting, forensics, movies, playing the cello, video games, the computer, talking to friends, hanging with friends, reading

Favorite music: Basically and classic & alternative rock that you can think of. Mix in some punk, techno, pop, dance, indie, europop, cabaret, oldies, rap, R&B, and everything else and you've got my taste in music.

A few…maybe. There are some I have false hope for turning into novels (like that would happen…), so I stop myself from posting them here. But there are some that I am definitely going to post…if I can actually finish them. I’ll write more about them when I have to titles up and all.

Okay, enjoy the stories, comment, and please contact me if you need to. Bye! -
