“If you don’t think, you shouldn’t talk.”
—Alice in Wonderland, 1951
11 - What is your favorite quote?
“Reach for the moon, because even if you fall, you’ll land on a star.”
I don’t know who said it, my mom had it hanging up in a frame in our bathroom. I try to remind myself of it, for some reason it motivates me no matter what.
10 - If you could only live off one food and one beverage for the rest of your life, what would it be?
Pasta and orange juice. I may be addicted to orange juice. Which I guess isn’t that bad of a thing to be addicted to ;P
09 - Pet peeves.
I’ve got this bullet in the chamber.
- Closed-mindedness.
- Being uninspired.
- The sound of silverware scraping against ceramic plates and fingernails on paper.
Not much, they all bother me a ton.
08 - 3 things you want to say to 3 different people.
I’m skipping this one. So I guess I already failed but whatevs.
07 - Do you read? What are your favorite books?
Awwwwwyeah 8] The most recent book I’ve read that really left an impact on me was “Nothing to Envy: Ordinary Lives in North Korea” by Barbara Demick. I also really enjoyed “The Help,” though I can’t remember who wrote it. Right now I’m reading “Water for Elephants” and it is wonderful <3
06 - What band or musician is most important to you?
The Beatles. Cliche, I know. And I feel like saying that the Beatles is your favorite band is like saying Pikachu is your favorite Pokemon and Mario is your favorite from the Super Mario Bros games. But most important doesn’t necessarily mean favorite. Listening to the Beatles is just comforting to me, they’re so familiar.
Also, whenever I’m feeling insecure about something, all I have to do is imagine John Lennon doing whatever it is and for some reason I feel more confident.
And right now, while I’m still a little down about not getting accepted into GSA, I’m reminding myself that they were turned down by the Deco Recording Group because they “didn’t like their sound.”
Didn't make GSA.
But this means I can spend those three weeks working on what I want to, at my own pace. And I can go to my family reunion.
I told myself that I wouldn’t let this make me crushed, and it isn’t.
Besides, I just had the best night of my life last night seeing Elton John live :]
05 - Five places you want to visit.
- Jordan
- England
- France
- Japan
- California
And there are sooooooooooooo many more :]
04 - The meaning behind your Tumblr name.
My name is Anna and I take pictures. That’s about it :D
03 - Your day, in great detail.
Woke up, got out of bed, dragged a comb across my head.
Slept passed my alarm, luckily I have two on my phone that go off 30 minutes apart for that exact reason. Got ready and went to school. Went to tutor after school, but no one ever comes so I just sat there, regretting that I ever signed up. Got home and watched last night’s Colbert Report, now I’m just chilling on Tumblr.
Boring day was boring.
02 - 10 likes and dislikes.

- Writing my name and title on a finished paper.
- That golden hour right before the sun sets.
Dislikes

- Comic Sans.
- Closed-mindedness.
- Run-on sentences.
01 - Write some basic things about yourself.
Anna, 16. I second guess myself and overanalyze way too much. I like photography, music, and history. I tend to make problems more complicated than they are.
