About Me

About Anna and her pants

Color.

iPod. And boots. (For stomping.)

Narcoleptic. Really.

Once partial to a particular pair of striped pants, I have found that the current dearth of junk in my trunk has rendered said pants moot.

No sign of my pants here .

Books. More books. And then more.

At 20 I stranded myself in Manhattan 3 times within a single year. Once with a pop star, once with a pimp (former, supposedly), and once with... I'm actually not sure. But there was an artist involved who lived in a nightclub and was partial to good vodka.

Ice cream disco pants are best for work.

Cusp of Scorpio and Sagittarius.

I need to learn how to breakdance. Pop and lock. Pop some glocks.

I like the moon. And the Atlantic ocean. And the Moon and Antarctica.

My Interests

dance - all forms, all kinds. Chagall. cats. old books and old book smells. animal rights. animals. theatre. freedom of speech. Abrahamic religions. Israel/Palestine. religious mysticism. Northern Renaissance painting and its intentional distortion of perspective. whitewater rafting. Nice - Cote d'Azur. improv comedy. interfaith dialogue. utopian political thought. Semitic languages. arabian horses. complementary colors, compliments of Heyward. chi.
