    Er, hi?

    My name is Alley. Not Rachel. In fact, my name has never been Rachel, and probably never will.

    I work at the local elementary school, at the latchkey program. It's basically an after school babysitting, with anywhere from 20-40 kids. It is a great job, I play with kids the whole time and get hugged and danced with and sangto. Best job ever.

    I dislike making introductory posts, because they're kind of like that one little section in all internet forums or dating sites or whathaveyou. The one that is labeled "Likes".

    What do I like? I fucking like everything.
    Permafrost and charcoal and book bindings and hail and glitter and buckles and masking tape.
    I find it impossible to make a list of things that I like that makes sense, or that one might be able to discern from which what kinds of things I like. I guess I could put them into groups, but then it sounds equally ridiculous (I like frozen things and things that have been burned and weather and packing supplies?). okay, rant over, sorry.

    I am a senior in Birmingham Michigan, and am interested in the idea of taking a year off of having my brain systematically crammed full of knowledge that is supposed to make me a functioning member of society to travel or commune or see something. Soul searching, I suppose.
    I guess I want to see what else is available, because I've lived like I live for eighteen years of my life, I could do to use one year to have some meaningful experiences and find where I want to be, yeah?

    Hello and welcome to the Forum! There's much to see and do here. Most of it will show up for you once you reach the 50 post mark. :)

    Yes, Alley like the dirty little back streets.
    Though I like to think of it as a bowling alley, personally.
