Once a Princess, Always a Princess

Hey All!! If you’re following my blog, I assume you know me. If you don’t-thanks for reading about my sad life anyways. Haha. I was given an assignment for my Media Smarts class to create a blog about myself so that my Professor can get to know me a bit better. So essentially that’s what this post is.

My name is Rachael Marie Wabel, but most people just call me Rachael or Rae. I answer to both and even sometimes you'll get a “yes” out of me if you call me Miss Wabel, but that really makes me feel old and more grown up than I want to be.

I’m currently a Sophomore at USU majoring in Public Relations and minoring in English. I figured I might as well combine my love of writing and pop culture into a job and get paid for it.

Need to talk to me? Email me at rachaelwabel@gmail.com. If you want to call me message me for my number and I’ll give it to you. I’m not stupid enough to put my number on the web where any pyscho creeper can get a hold of it.

I’d consider myself pretty girly. I really like anything pink, glittery, or sparkly. I love shopping and of course the male species that makes up half of the human population, but only the smart ones! With that though, I’m not the typical ditzy, cheerleader type. I’m pretty down to earth and consider myself to be smart. I have my moments where I can be really hyper and excited, but I also like to have my down time where I can put my headphones in and dive into a work zone.

I LOVE to write and read. I honestly can’t stop. I’m always working on something. I’m still working on my novel, but maybe one day it will get finished and I can try to publish it. Until that day though, I’ll keep dreaming. I also really love music, especially the pop confections of Katy Perry, Cheryl Cole, Ellie Goulding, and more recently Adele-but only some of her songs.

Home for me is Syracuse. I wasn’t born there, but it’s where I’ve been for the longest. It’s where my parents are and where I know the most people. I think that makes the good ole 84075 a candidate to be considered home.

I’m a teenager still so my media use is pretty typical for my age. Facebook is continually open on my laptop along with my recent obsession TWITTER!!!! Of course I love Youtube too, and MSN is always one of my first stops for news in the morning. Like I said, I love Pop Culture so E! News is a guilty pleasure.

I guess that’s it really. I’m just sitting at work as a broadcast facilitator. It’s simple, but time consuming. Reading numerous textbooks is a bit hard during this time, but I’m able to get my writing stuff done so that’s good. And it looks like I’m needed so more later.

Sweet dreams and pink ice creams lovelies…

I’ve NEVER Done That Before

I’ve never gone bungee jumping. I’ve never been arrested. I’ve never been offered any type of alcohol or drugs. To be honest, I’ve never done a lot of things. I guess that list is kinda crazy and a lot of people haven’t experienced those things either. Unfortunately I’ve also never done some normal 19 year old girl things, like give my number to a total stranger. Let’s just change that to I never HAD given my number to a stranger. Here’s what went down.

I was slumming through yet another Saturday night at work. Thankfully we were pretty busy so I was constantly doing something, which made the time go by much faster. I was at the desk, running the tills, when these two REALLY cute guys came in. I chatted them up (as Russell Brand would say) as I set up their bowling lane. There was one in particular who seemed to really click with me in our five minute exchange. He has a New Zealand accent (which is uber sexy) and come to find out, he just got back from his mission there. After a dose of flirting, he asked for my number, and here’s the kicker I GAVE IT TO HIM!!

You’re probably rolling your eyes and saying “NBD”, but really it is for me. I’ve never been one to put myself out there when it comes to guys. It’d be a whole other post to explain why, but I just never have. The last time I gave my number to someone, I had talked to him for like 2 weeks.

The guy suggested we get together sometime this week, since I’m moving back to Logan on Saturday and I had to work until we closed yesterday. He gave me his number and said I should text him. Which leaves me wondering. Do I text him and make the first step toward a date/hanging out, or do I wait for him to call me??

ION: I got a second job up in Logan. I’m going to be monitoring broadcast classes two nights a week, along with working 1st and 3rd weekends at the fun center, so you should all come see me there.

Summer is practically over and I have yet to even finish re-writing, let alone send out my pages. Maybe soon, though I know I’m going to be done (or quit) come November, so I can do Nano.

Well that’s it. Just sitting confused and slightly exhilarated here in my pink haven. A week from today, I’ll be back in Logantown, and I’m quite excited, esp since the WB is there and single…
