About Me
and i'll run with wreckless emotion,
and find out if love is the size of an ocean.
even if i crash and burn,
at least i know what it's like to
really feel alive.
hi, im anna, and i'm currently 17 years old. this changes every march. i go to school at memorial, and have a job at dazzle. both of which i love very much.
though i am completely against taking someone
and shoving someone into a category based on first impressions, i'll have you know that i'm sort of an odd kid sometimes. i am completely obsessed with wishes. i wish on railroads, clocks, eyelashes, and stars, expecting every single one to come true. so far, life's been pretty good to me. i also love to sing. i dance around my house in my underwear singing chick songs at the top of my lungswhen nobody is listening, but then again, if you have a vagina, don't try and tell me that you haven't done anything like that. i always have at least one song
stuck in my head, and this tends to create a human boombox out of me. there's always music(or noise) coming from my direction. i am a pretty decent singer, though, so hopefully that quirk of mine isn't TOO painful.
sometimes i pretend to be sophisticated and walk around art museums with sunglasses on, saying "oh well i prefer his eariler work, actually" when prompted. truth be told,
i actually do know more about art than most of my peers, and i enjoy cezanne just as much as i do warhol.
my annoyances include bad grammar. i am completely dumbfounded by highschoolers who still can't spell or tell the difference between 'there' and 'their' and 'they're'. my tolerance for ignorance is relatively low, though i try my best to be patient. i can be the nicest, most considerate person you will ever meet, or i can be the bitchy girl always fucking up your life, it's up to you to decide which one you want to deal with.
i am not interested in intrigue and contemplation, i want to learn about people through action, i want an adventure. i want people to be intense, articulate, and witty because otherwise everything they're doing is too reminiscent of normal life to be exciting enough for me. i love playful banters, and arguments based on intelligence, and sarcasm and wit are two major things that get me through the day. if you can challenge me and keep me on my toes while also captivating my attention, chances are i'll fall in love with you. i am the type of person who is not content to merely understand things, but one who craves experience. i tend to let my heart get in the way of reason, and it is often difficult for me to listen to logic when my emotions
play such a large part in the situation.
i was born in the philippines, and i have travelled throughout most of asia, and plan on conquering europe this summer. i have taken spanish, and am now in chinese. i love to learn about other cultures, and literacy in other languages is imporant to me. i'm bilingual, but i'm not much for classroom learning, so i guess i've got a world of travelling to do.
i have a zest for life. (i think i heard that phrase on some viagra commercial). but really, i swear i do. i'm not phased by much, and i tend to be amazed at the littlest things. i live for cheap thrills & have a hard time thinking about the future, much less planning it.
there's something so thrilling about doing someting completely spontaneous and new, i find myself seeking activities that are quite out of the ordinary. rolling down hills, anybody? life's too short to completely live by the rules. life's too short to worry about what other people may think of you. life's too short to worry about putting on your sunscreen, or what food might give you cancer. i am obsessed with diet soda, and i really couldn't
care less if it's bad for you. i figure no matter how healthy you eat, or how far away from cigarettes you stay, or how much sunscreen you put on, you'll still die. i'm not being morbid. i'm just saying that while you're still here, don't sidestep potential danger. go crazy! do what you want. safety is over-rated anyways.
despite how much i love perfection, i would have to say that i am far from it. i suck at getting up early, and am not, nor have i ever been, a morning person. ironically, maps confuse me, and giving directions has never been my forte. i'm terrible with receiving compliments, and tend to either ignore them, or scowl every time i get one. i am a klutz. i trip over shoes, run into doors, fall up the stairs, and fall DOWN the stairs. i always have at least 3 bruises on me. the case seems to be that it's easy to get my attention, but quite a task to keep it. as a result of this, my longest relationship was 2 1/2 months. i'm always late, and horribly indecisive. i rarely know what i want. when i do, however, there's no stopping me. i want what i want, and i get what i want when i want it. that's just how it is. im a messy kid. my room is a mess,
and organization drives me nuts.
i am always charmed with suprises, but i suck at making sure that they come that way. i'm too curious not to ask about them, and will always reassure you that i'll act suprised upon receiving them. truth be told, however, i really do love the suspense of being kept guessing, and there's always something so wonderful about knowing that you're being thought of.
boys are a mystery, and i don't think i'll ever fully understand them. then again, girls are way more confusing. the difference, however, is that i'm interested
in figuring out boys, and have no interest in trying to figure out what goes on in another girl's mind. i love dark haired boys with straight, white teeth and accents.
i like boys who are spontaneous, articulate, smart and exciting. surprises and laughter get me every single time. i love it when boys are hygenic and always smell of cologne. i like the softer side of men. i don't think it's cute when overly testosterone-ated guys feel that the only way to prove themselves is to grunt & ram themselves into random hard surfaces (or eachother); though this is often amusing. i am pretty much smitten with boys who know their art. someone who works magic behind the camera or makes beautiful things when gifted with a paint brush wins my respect instantly. it's also really important to be able to keep up with me. if i have to spell every thing out for you in laymen terms, i'll most likely be annoyed and disinterested. i like competition, and arcade racing games always get me fired up. i like thunder storms, and kissing in the rain has, and always will be, a favorite. i am scared to death of rejection, and have never asked a boy out.
i really don't know what else anybody could possibly want to know about me, and i feel that i have overloaded you all with information. if you read all this, then my hats off to you. i'm a friendly kid, so if you don't know me already, i'm really approachable.
say hello.
(oh, and if you made it through this whole thing, let me know. i wanna congratulate you personally.)
when you live, live with your soul, not with your time.
when you love, love with your heart, not with your mind.
when you wanna be something the world can define, open up your eyes.
