About Me:
i'm an asshole with a nice streak. i'm six foot, hilarious for all the wrong reasons, and when i'm depressed i eat an entire sleeve of ritz crackers and watch the sopranos. or if i'm feeling really terrible, the last ten minutes of the latest version of pride & prejudice, plus the first ten minutes of the old breakfast at tiffany's. i was skinny at the start of 2006, and now i'm working at getting back to it. and by working, i mean occasionally i'll eat non-fat yogurt. in moments of pure bliss i can be seen dancing the patented "anna dance" that involves a washing machine like motion and hands raising the roof, or sky depending on the indoor/outdoor situation. if your second language is sarcasm and you eat a hearty bowl of a sense of humor everyday, then you're in general a good candidate for friendship. i don't like people who sound cooler on the internet. if you have a buzznet and you're on it more than you are on myspace, then this probably means you. this about me is making me sound just as pretentious but not nearly as pretentious as you, you about me reader. i really just made that last one up. um, i'm really terrible at talking about myself unless i'm trying to talk myself up. thats only partially not true. i always know what time it is. and it is never, and i mean NEVER, "miller time." however, it can be "pbr time". why that slogan never caught on, i'll never know. i drink an excess of beer, everything else has caused me one too many bad nights. i also drink more diet dr. pepper than most people drink in a lifetime. in fact, i prefer drinking to eating. unless we're talking about lime tortilla chips, which i am 100% a-okay with. i'm a fast learner, a fast reader, and a fast forgiver. i'm a slow driver, a slow metabolism-er, and a slow truster. and thats a fucking true story.
