Hi, I’m Anna.
I started writing when I was in middle school yet here I am, Googling samples of how to write a well worded About Me.
I started life in Dallas, Texas, moved around and somehow found my way back. The in between was a small town, with an even smaller school, that was filled with people who knew everybody and their business. I’ve spent the vast majority of my life being the shy, quiet kid and I’ve always been introverted. I don’t mind quiet time alone and, in fact, I prefer it most of the time. Those that know me well would argue that none of that is true, though.
I love my dogs, David Bowie, Blink-182, Nirvana, Foo Fighters and anything with Chris Cornell. Concerts are my favorite places to be. I love thunderstorms and I love watching Top Gear & Grand Tour. – And before you ask, I’m obviously talking about the one with Clarkson, Hammond and May. I love What We Do In The Shadows and It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia. Small Town Murder is the only podcast I’ve listened to for the last two years. I think Labyrinth is a Christmas movie.
I have a dark sense of humor and tend to be quite deadpan. Sometimes people don’t know what to think about me or the things that come out of my mouth and, if you stick with me long enough, you’ll see what I’m talking about. Sometimes it’s hard for me to make friends.
I usually spend my days thinking of things to write as a release, albeit I never actually write any of it down, and that’s how I got here. I’d be lying if I said this was my first blog. Actually, this may be three or four – I don’t know; but I will keep it up this time, I promise. This time it’s not for me, it’s for a dear friend whose last words to me were reminding me that I can do anything and that no one is ever stopping me. And if he was here right now, he’d tell me to just do it.
An early warning: there will probably be typos and grammar mistakes no matter how many times I proofread before posting. I used to be more sharp but my medications are slowly whittling my brain into mush. And while I love constructive criticism as much as the next guy, just judge me quietly and to yourself. Oh, and cuss words. There will be a lot of cuss words. I can promise, though, that everything I write will be genuine and vulnerable. I’m really good at taking all the feelings and putting them into words; and, while writing helps me to process and release, I’ll be happy if reading through my rantings will resonate with you, too.
Well, I suppose I’ve covered all the basics. I’m sure I didn’t make Google proud but it is what it is. I can always come back to this later.
