I am a leaf on the wind (this is who i am)
long story short / Name's Raquel and I was born in Barcelona in 1991. I'm currently working in London as a receptionist, though I have yet to graduate from my Modern Languages, Culture and Communication nightmare Degree. I focused on English and Japanese, with a minor in Communication. I write, and I used to act. I travel a lot, (almost) always low-cost, and I wouldn't trade it for the world. I read a lot less than I'd like to and I always swear I'll change that. I like fictional villains, sci-fi and fabulous dialogues. I'm a feminist. I'm a fangirl. I scream when I see cute animals and share cheesy videos of them with my mom. I talk a lot and love me some food. I go to the gym, and love it. I'm shallow sometimes. I love pink and the number 13 and dinosaurs. I've run out of things to say, but welcome to my journal! I don't bite, unless you ask me to.
