It understood you just as far as you wanted to be understood, believed in you as you would like to believe in yourself." - Nick (The Great Gatsby)
About Me: My name is Anna. I enjoy potatoes. My mind travels at around 200 mph so you never really know what randomness I’ll spit out. I’m a fun person to be around usually, except when I’m feeling lazy (which is basically anytime I’m at home). Try not to make me decide on things cause I’m very indecisive, and I usually don’t care in the first place. I’m pretty laid back. I enjoy making people happy. I tend to crack jokes, but I'm usually the only one who thinks they're funny. It doesn’t take much to make me laugh. I think that in a past life, I might have been an awesome cello player or something of the sort because I have always felt some sort of strange attachment to it. I am currently learning to play the violin though. I really like music and movies. I could talk about them for hours. I could actually talk about many things for hours. Just pick something in one of the other sections, and I could ramble on till I bore you to death. I have a tendency to refrain from responding to those who try to speak to me. I may, or may not, be listening, but by god you're never gonna know. This tends to make my sister want to throw things that are heavy and sharp at me, but she exercises self-control by eating some chocolate instead.
