Today I did some file and record clean up and I proudly present you with samples of how I described myself online over the past 10 years. Makes me think yet again how interesting a large scale analysis of how people have describes themselves online has changed over the past 10 years would be. For your laughter and amusement I have included a vintage Anna picture as well, where I am rocking my best “piss-my-parents-off-ill-do-what-want-in-college” hairstyle

Well I am very good at falling, I do it often on campus and at home. One time a went on a date with real tall dude and we went longboarding and I totally biffed it. That’s kind of my thing, falling. I fully exploit 50 cent tuesdays at the the dollar theater. I know how to max the ticket output at the nicklecade. Oh yeah my cast glows in the dark.
What I enjoy doing:Designing clothes for extreme tacky Barbie make overs, longboarding, Kareoke night at Jerry’s, talking like Bill, falling down, exploiting the world through a wheelchair, thursday night dance parties, cookie night

I hail from Cleveland, but some how got turned around and ended up in the middle of quirky P-town. I consider myself better than you and your mom. I love to just sit down and jam. I have yet to make it famous and I figure that’s not exactly where it’s at. All my songs are just random creations and variations on the same theme… life. While I might sometimes be sappy, I figure its only the result of overexposure to Utah waves. The way I look at it, all the world’s a zoo, but are you going to allow yourself to be locked up in a cage and stared at all day? I vote for watching everyone else making fools of themselves while enjoying cotton candy

Random facts about me: In college I financed a trip to Disneyland by asking strangers if I could borrow a quarter. I never graduated high school; my family makes fun of me for being the only student at Columbia Graduate school with a GED. I once set my house on fire with my underwear. I like to write dumb songs on the spot with roommates/ friends. When I was younger I competed in math competitions and surprisingly I won a lot. But really I only did it for the school day off and free pizza.

Anna the analyst… my name predicted my career. Go figure. Something-something at somewhere awesome.
