I am in the, aeroplane, and over the sea.
My Self-Summary
I'm a tall girl named Anna from the midwest, transplanted to Boston
for college. Sometimes I love it here, sometimes I hate it.
I like
Greece, art,
music, and the internet. I love
architectural history.
Reading is fun, but I don't have as much time for it as I'd like
anymore.
I love
olives and
olive-related things.
My favorite Greek god is
Dionysos.
Raccoons are my favorite animals, by far. Baby polar bears come in
second.
I can't live without cooking shows. I don't really cook, but I LOVE
the
Food
Network. I also love food-related shows on the Travel
Channel.
If you care about the dating persona test results, DGSM seems to
describe me better than any of the others.
That face that I make in my photos is pretty much my default face.
It's not just some thing I do in pictures.
I left a lot of things out of this profile. Most of these things, I
think, are either unimportant or will automatically classify me as
a douche.
Apparently, I really like to clarify things using parentheses.
What I’m doing with my life
I'm currently a sophomore in college, working on an
art history degree
(with a
classics
minor!) Maybe I'll teach, maybe I'll bum around, maybe I'll travel
the world. Who knows?
Also, I'm growing out my hair, but that doesn't take a lot of
effort.
Either way, I try not to do much nowadays.

I’m really good at
sitting, trying to figure out what I'm good at.

The first things people usually notice about me
Since I've recently retired my lip piercing, it's probably the fact
that I'm quite tall.
Also, that I am a cute-hole.
Also, also, that I am a loam tiger.

My favorite books, movies, music, and food
Books: I'm a fan of Vonnegut, Palahniuk, and art books. The Ender
Series. Dune. Snow Crash. Random books about Greece. Infinite Jest.
A Clockwork Orange.
Aristophanes (yes, I actually laugh
out loud). I don't read as much as I'd like to anymore,
unfortunately.
Movies: Anything Wes Anderson (The Royal Tenenbaums especially),
Alejandro Jodorowsky (Holy Mountain, El Topo),
Paprika, Labyrinth, Hedwig and the
Angry Inch, Who Framed Roger Rabbit?, A Clockwork Orange,
Man of La Mancha
the musical, Fargo, Pan's Labyrinth, Billy Eliot, Rocky Horror,
Tampopo.
Trapped in the Closet,
R.Kelly's hip-hopera. There are more, but I'll come back to this
one later.
Music: I love
post-rock (Godspeed You! Black
Emperor, Do Make Say Think, Mono, Mogwai, A Silver Mt. Zion,
Explosions in the Sky, Yndi Halda, etc.) and psytrance, as well as
techno (although I can do without the eurotrashy dancey stuff).
Some random favorites:
Kate Nash,
Rufus Wainwright, David Bowie,
Prince, Dan le Sac vs. Scroobius Pip, The Decemberists,
Digable Planets,
Alphabeat, Pharrell Williams, Elliott Smith,
Frank Zappa, Neutral Milk Hotel,
Outkast, Portishead, Stereolab,
Ferdinand Fox, Ted Leo and the
Pharmacists, Weezer (old only, please),
Lil Wayne, Ben Folds' cover of
'Bitches Ain't Shit' and other inappropriate covers, the
Paprika OST.
Britney's
CIRCUS. Lady GaGa.
Food: I'm not terribly picky, although it may seem that way-- I eat
a lot of the same things over and over again.
Olives,
bacon, dark chocolate, cheese, and fried
clams are some favorites.
I was a vegetarian until very recently (ok, it's been a year...).
Now I can once again appreciate the amazing deliciousness that is
meat. (You're welcome. --ed)
I fucking LOVE
salt.

The six things I could never do without
In no particular order:
Purple things, olives, cardigans, the
internet, music,
art/
architecture (especially
Greek) to look at and
study.
I broke my iPhone last month and in the couple of weeks it was only
partially functional, I realized that I can never again be without
a working iPhone. I don't think I can ever use a phone with buttons
again.
I spend a lot of time thinking about
Better ways to avoid responsibility, or at least push it off until
later.
Neutrinos.
Am I big or small? Once, I took an astronomy class and I decided
that I was really, really tiny. Then, I looked at a cricket through
an
electron microscope and I
felt huge. Now I have no idea. I think about this a lot.
Isn't it strange how people apply Chapstick differently? How do you
apply Chapstick?
Recently, I've been thinking a lot about my life in general, and if
I really like where it's going or not. I think I have decided that
I do not, so I'm working on changing that.
The Bauhaus. You'd be surprised to know how many commonplace
design-related things came out of this school less than a century
ago.
Also, Greece. I spend a lot of time thinking (and talking, for that
matter) about Greece. A lot of time.
On a typical Friday night I am
At work, then at home, and then sleeping. I'd like to change this,
but I work on Saturday and Sunday mornings too.
The most private thing I’m willing to admit here
I pretend to be mysterious, but I am really easy to figure
out.
I
really like particle physics.
I am losing holes at a steady pace.

You should message me if
You want to. Maybe we like the same books, movies, music, food.
Until you show me otherwise, I trust your judgment on whether
messaging me is a good idea or not.
If you're going to view my profile 100 times without sending me a
message, hoping that I'll take the hint and send one first, you
should stop that and just send the message. If you're not going to
be able to make the first move, we're not going to get along
anyway.
Along these lines, if we were messaging back and forth and I
randomly stopped responding, it's probably not because I hate you.
Message me again.
If you plan on winking me without sending a message, don't.
In general, I'd prefer that you live somewhat near Boston. I
already have plenty of internet friends that I have never/will
never meet, and I didn't join this site to find more. Of course, if
you live farther away and can't resist/think we are perfect for
each other/think we would be best friends/whatever, send me a
message.
I know that everyone is a ~unique individual~ but retarded people
who think it's necessary to make a list of over nine thousand bands
and put one on each line, get the fuck away from my profile and
stop being a douche.
You know how to let the beat build, bitch.
