My name is Rebecca Taylor. I am 18 years old and live in North Carolina, USA. I am a junior in high school. I am hoping to go to college and major in either literature, design, or marine biology. I haven't decided yet. I am a devoted Christian and attend my church reguarly. Jesus Christ is the most important figure in my life and no one could ever take his place. I love snow skiing, rollerblading, softball, and volleyball. I also enjoy tennis, swimming, and horseback riding. I also like to write. I write poetry mostly but also short stories and am currently TRYING to write a novel even though it is not working out as well as I had hoped. I love to sketch too. I am not the best artist in the world, but it gives me a challange that one day I might can overcome. I also love design. I have taken interior design and housing courses and have developed both a talent and a passion for it. The colors, the fabrics, the shapes, the textures, putting it all together to create an entirely different space. It's amazing. I enjoy volunteer work and volunteer at my church, the local homeless shelter, and the Salvation Army. I also like to help elderly people as much as possible. Even if it is just helping them down the stairs, or carrying their dinners to their tables, it makes me feel good and they are more than appreciative. I love animals. All animals big and small, smooth or scaly, whatever. I have two pets, a dog and a cat. When I get a home of my own, I want a house full of animals; dogs, cats, birds, hamsters, turtles, fish, etc. I am always striving to learn more about animals. I gather as much information as I can from everywhere I find it. The internet has really helped out with that. I love photography too. I like taking pictures of animals and nature mostly, but people too. Catching them at just the right moment; their guilty expression, their innocense, their sense of humor, their goofiness, their sadness, their proudest moment. Nature is also fun to take pictures of; the leaves gently blowing in a breeze, a flower's first bloom, a peaceful lake. It is all so gradifying to me to capture the essence of what I am seeing through my eyes in my pictures. Music is another passion of mine. Singing and playing the keyboard and also listening to music. My favorite band is the Beatles. The Beatles are/were the greatest group of all time. My favorite songs are Hey Jude, Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds, and Strawberry Fields Forever. But I love all of the songs. I also like Dave Matthews, Fiona Apple, Smash Mouth, The Wallflowers, Jewel, Toad The Wet Sprocket, and I also like christian and classical music. My favorite christian bands and artists are Audio Adrenaline, Jars of Clay, DC Talk, Big Tent Revival, Rebecca St. James, and Steven Curtis Chapman. I like classical music like Beethoven, Brahms, Mozart, Handel, Bach, and others. Above all else, I like to have fun. I am bored easily, and so I love change. Taking the scenic route, doing something different, trying something new. But whatever I do, I want to have fun. Who doesn't, right? If there is nothing going on, usually I will start something going on, even if its ridiculous, just so people will laugh or just to break the silence. It's just who I am. I have included here some of my favorite links and also a link to my Friendship Page where you can meet my friends.
