Hey, I'm Anna.

Things that make me happy: Skiing, foreign chocolate, the BWCAW, having a sense of style, salmon, food in general, being with my friends, good music, well-informed political opinions, 80's and 90's movies, Kurt Vonnegut Jr., Ray Bradbury, art, fluffy pillows, long showers, and living my life.

Things that I dislike: Tacky people who think they're cool and unique but they're not, licorice, realizing that I ate all of my foreign chocolate, snakes, serial killers/stalkers/kidnappers, ill-informed political opinions, "alternative" (but really it's not) music, "emo" music, Top 40 music (at least most of it), country music, and self-absorbed, conceited people.

Words to live by: "Saying no decreases your chance of having fun." (NOTE: That does not apply to alcohol, drugs, and sex. Say no to those until it's legal and you're ready.)

"Love life, and it will love you back."

"What should you do if you see an endangered animal eating an endangered plant?"

If I Had To Give You Advice: Don't become absorbed in yourself. There are seven billion people in the world, and you are a speck. Your speck can be special, but there will always be a speck that is better than yours, and there will always be an overwhelming amount of specks that are worse than your speck. Don't try to be the better speck. Be the speck that helps the worse-off specks become the better specks, and in turn, you will become the better speck as well.
