Live While We're Young
Someone Else
October 1, 2011
Hello, my name is Finlee Rayne but my friends call me Rayne. I bet you all are wondering why I am writing a blog for y'll right now. Well here's the thing, I want to find my family. I do not remember them at all because they left me (or so I am told) when I was 15 months old on the steps of city hall crying my eyes out. Now I sit here about to begin this search which scares me to death. I figure since I am over 18 and can legally search I would do it, can't be that hard, right? And this is where the blog comes in, I want to blog all my journey so that I am not making it alone.
I would first like to tell you about myself. Like I said my name is Finlee. I went into foster care with this name so I have no idea why I am named this. I am 22 years young as of August 16, 1988. I am just beginning my senior year of college and want to become a physician's assistant. I will have plenty of loans when I am through with school but I think it is worth it. I have lived with the same foster family since I was 13. From what my foster parents, Jacee and Lee, have told me I was born in California and somehow made my way across country in my short life.
Well this blog post is very short, I am sorry, I have to get to my physics homework and my lab partner just walked in. Wish me luck! :)
Welcome to my journey.
Rayne
Just as I began my blog post my lab partner and roommate, Charlotte, returned from class. I didn't want to let her know what I was up to just yet so I have to keep it as secretive as possible. The only way I know how to do this is by acting like it was a normal day.
"Hey Char, how were classes," I asked nonchalantly.
"Oh ya know, the norm, just trying not to pass out listen to profs talk ALL about themselves. But I now I can hurry and get ready to go meet up with Luke" She replied.
Luke is Charlotte's new boy toy here at Virginia Tech. She has one at home in Baltimore also and was using them both. You could say Charlotte was boy crazy but I just like to say she likes to weigh out her options. I on the other hand am a one guy type of girl and have had the worst luck with guys. Many douche bag boyfriends later I am happily single.
Of course Char never even cares about my classes, I guess that is the difference between us. I care about everybody and she is clueless to people and their needs. I can say this because we've known each other since 7th grade. You see I haven't always had too many friends because I have moved from foster family to foster family since forever. When I began 7th grade Child Services moved me again, to Baltimore, Maryland of all places. Char was the first girl to talk to me when I walked into Ridgely Middle School and we have been best friends since. We even share the same tastes in music and what to watch on TV. The difference between us in this department is that Char is IN LOVE with guys like Jack Barakat from All Time Low and Kellan Lutz from Twilight where I am more of a Zack Merrick from All Time Low and of course Darren Criss from Glee (can you say hotties) type of girl.
So even though she was basically clueless that I was trying to make conversation with her I loved her. She always knew how to make me smile when my mind was in a billion peices. Hopefully soon we can be on the same page so that I can share with her everything including me wanting to find my forever family.
