[In which Anna tries to explain who she is.]

I'm a Tokio Hotel fan. I'm a rising Stanford University freshman. I'm a Pacific Northwesterner. I'm... a lot of things. I'm me. I'm happy. I'm optimistic. I'm good. I'm peaceful. I'm thoughtful. I'm active. I'm natural. I'm capable. I'm knowledgeable in many fields, though not, in general, pop culture. I'm original (or, I'm... different). I have my own ideas and a set of values that may be oriented quite differently from yours. And then, it may not be. That depends on you.

It's usually pretty good, being me. :-)
