"My name is Rachel Barbra Berry - named after one of the main characters on the TV Show FRIENDS, and for one of the most inspirational women in the world - Barbra Streisand. I was born on December 18th to Shelby Corocan, though she didn't raise me. My parents are two gay men who wanted a child so they screen potential surrogates based off of talent and beauty. Obviously, they settled on Shelby, who carried me around for nine months before my father's adopted me. I will be turning seventeen this upcoming December, and I'm starting my senior year at McKinley high. Sorry, what else did you ask? Oh, my sexuality? Well, I'd say heterosexual. I'm every open to over type of sexuality, of course, being raised by two gay dads has that happen; I haven't had any experience with the same sex, however, so I can't tell you if I'd at all be interested in girls.
Some of my extracurricular activities include being the captain of New Directions, and doing all kinds of things for Glee club. My main goal and dream in life is to become a Broadway star. I don't actually spend much time socializing with my peers, instead I prefer to hone my talent and focus on Glee club. We cannot lose Nationals this year, so it'll take everything to make sure we're prepared to win."
"My personality? Well, I've been called crazy quite a few times, as well as a pain, quite a few times by my own New Directions peers. I like to think I'm dedicated and reliable - I go after what I want with my all, and I don't let anyone stand in my way of getting it. I'm multi-talented, but I would say my best talent is singing and acting, two things I need to make it on Broadway. Sometimes I think that the Deadly Sin I'm most like is Pride. I'm definitely a prideful person, and to me it's an important trait in someone, so long as it doesn't make them too prideful.
I would say I was definitely more prideful in my sophomore year than I am now, which I like to think as meaning that I've grown and matured as a person. I don't like not getting what I want, and people telling me that I don't have any talent, or that I'm never going to make it. And of course, some of the things I really don't like is when people tell me it's not okay for me to have two men as my fathers with no mother. Now, things that I do like? Well, I love Broadway musicals, Barbra Streisand, of course, and I must say, I love music. It's become quite a big part of me lately. I love being on stage, and performing, and I like the members of the Glee club, even if they don't always like me. As mentioned earlier, I want to become a Broadway star. I want to get out of Lima come graduation and never look back. Being on stage feels like home to me, and there's really nowhere else to be than Broadway. My fears are losing my parents and not being able to make it as a performer in New York."
"My past? Well, it's nothing too exciting. As I mentioned, I was raised by two gay dads who screened surrogates based off of talent and beauty, and mixed their sperm with the egg. To this day I'm not sure which one of them is my biological father, but I think that's pretty cool. I think growing up with two fathers was wonderful. I'm an only child, so I was definitely spoiled as a kid. My fathers made sure that I was well rounded in the arts, and I started taking dance and singing lessons when I was young. My first competition was actually won when I was just three years old.
I didn't know my birth mother until I was in my sophomore year, when I first met Jesse St. James. Jesse seemed to be perfect for me, he had the same dreams and ambitions that I did. He was second real boyfriend, and we dated for a while before he introduced me to my mother. She turned out to be Shelby Corocan, the coach for Vocal Adrenaline. I got to know her a bit over the course of time that I was dating Jesse. After he betrayed me and New Directions and returned to Vocal Adrenaline, we competed against them at Reginals. We lost to them, and that was also the night Quinn went into labor. That night, I asked Shelby to join Mr. Shuester and become co-coach of New Directions so I would have a chance to get to know her a bit better and have her in my life, but she said that she didn't want to get to know me anymore. Instead she adopted Quinn and Puck's baby, because she wanted to experience being a mother as she should have with me.
Since then, there's been quite a bit of history between me and Finn. We dated for quite a while before we ended breaking up because I made a mistake with Puck. He went back to Quinn, and since then I've been trying to win him back. He broke up with Quinn, and then seemed to be interested in getting back together with me in New York. I'm not sure if this is going to go anywhere, because I know that I'm leaving for New York as soon as graduation comes around and never looking back."
"Oh, hia. My name is Izzie, but I'll answer to pretty much any variation of that name or any nicknames you'd like to call me. =] I've been RPing for about five years now, and have done all kinds of RPs. Glee, Harry Potter, original plots, etc. I love Glee, though I can't say that I'm going to return to watching the show after season 3 and the original cast graduates. Some of my favorite ships in Glee are Brittana, Puckleberry, St. Berry along with some others. I'm a movie junkie, and I love getting to know new people.
The best ways to contact me are via email, PM or tumblr. My tumblr is gypsytraveler.tumblr.com, and you can add me on aim if you like. gypsytravelerfic. I'm not on aim too much, but I try to log on as often as I can. Anything else you'd like to know about me, just ask!"
"If she was honest with herself, Rachel had absolutely no idea what to expect from this night. She'd run in to Blaine's father (who she'd only been able to recognize because he had some of the same facial structure as his son) at Lima's supermarket, and they had gotten to talking. How, she wasn't entirely sure. But Rachel was never rude to adults, so it wasn't like she could really cut the conversation short and carry on her way. And with her father's out in Columbus for the weekend, it wasn't like she had much to do at home other than maybe record a new tribute video and post it to her MySpace page. But she had done just that a couple nights ago, so a new one could wait. Instead she found herself talking with Mr. Anderson about Glee Club, her Broadway ambitions, and even Kurt and Blaine.
Somehow one thing had lead to another, and he'd invited her to dinner with him and Blaine for later on that night. Not having anything better to do than sit in an empty house and entertain herself by watching television or surfing the internet, she'd agreed. Which is how she found herself at home a couple hours after getting her shopping done, a pie (vegan friendly, of course) in the over (Mr. Anderson had insisted he'd be cooking the main meal, but relented and allowed Rachel to bring a dessert with her under her many protests.) and the petite girl searching through her closet for something to wear. What did she wear to dinner with Blaine and Mr. Anderson? Nothing too fancy or sophisticated, of course, since she wasn't trying to impress anyone; but nothing like sweats and a tee shirt either (not that she'd be caught dead in that for a dinner with someone.), since they weren't that close of friends yet.
Finally settling on a simple pair of pants she hardly wore and a simple black tank top, Rachel slipped on her flats before checking the pie downstairs and noting it was coming along nicely. Only a couple more minutes and it'd be ready to be taken out. On the island in the middle of the kitchen, her keys and purse sat side by side, ready to be picked up for when she left. The timer on the stove top dinged, and Rachel pulled the warm dessert out, inhaling deeply as she did. It was her daddy's recipe, one that always came out smelling amazing, and tasting even better. Once she had secured a lid on the pan and wrapped some cellophane just for good measure, Rachel was out the door and putting her car in gear within ten minutes. She glanced occasionally at the hand written directions sitting on her dashboard, and made it to the Anderson household within fifteen minutes.
Walking up the front steps, she had to take a moment to wonder if it was such a good idea, having dinner with her best friend's boyfriend and his father. But since she was standing on the top step of the front porch, she couldn't really turn back now, could she? No. Instead she reached out and rang the doorbell, putting on her megawatt Broadway smile when it was opened. "Hello," she greeted Blaine before noting the surprised and confused expression sitting on his face. "Um, your father invited me over for dinner. He did tell you, didn't he?" Rachel worried her lip between her teeth, wondering if Blaine knew at all that she was coming over. It was weird that Mr. Anderson hadn't mentioned it to his son, but perhaps it simply had slipped his mind. Holding out the pie sitting in her hands, she spoke once more, "I brought dessert.""
