There Is Something Burning in There

Annie. 17. I want to fill my life with art, music, and literature. I'm very sarcastic. I have been described as "radical". Things that are cliche make my head hurt. This is largely a word blog, and includes other things such as music and photos and things I think are really cool. Expect art, poetry, and ranting from me.

About Me

Hi, I’m Annie.  I’m seventeen, and I’m a senior.

I love art, music, photography, philosophy, psychology, foreign films (I find the language switch makes up for the predictability of most plots these days), animals, and vintage everything. 

I am in a humanities program at a public school, which is supposed to spark our creativity, and turn us into fabulous writers, but really we’re just a bunch of gifted procrastinators, who could do well, but don’t really feel like it, because school is boring and has no motivation. 

I’m a vegetarian because I hate meat, and because every time I ate it I pictured a little fluffy version of whatever animal it was. 

I’m an atheist, also an anarchist, but I think communism is a great theory. Some may call me a crazy extremist, but I think that most people don’t question authority and the general society enough. 

I also hate the human race, I think it’s going to destroy the planet, and really we’re just all terrible to each other, so if you’re special enough to be on my good list, well, that means you’re pretty damn special. 

I ride horses, and I have one of my own.  He’s really cute and he’s sort of a baby right now, and he’s also kind of a maniac.  I ride as a sport, the type I do is called eventing.  It’s an olympic sport.  The horse does not do all the work.  Look it up if you want to.

I used to have a list of some of my favorite bands and musical artists here, but I just kept wanting to add to it and it was getting really long and also I go through phases of music taste, but I like a lot of indie, some alternative, some older “classic” rock and pop, and basically just a lot of random things, but I despise most (or all) modern pop and the twangy voice thing in country music really bothers my brain.

I have a lot of favorite artists, photographers, and writers.  I mostly like reading the classics, but there are a few good modern fiction books out there.  Ask if you’re wondering specifics.

I guess I identify as a lesbian.  I spent a lot of the past year thinking I was bisexual (like until the end of this past summer), but I really didn’t think about it that much for a long time, because I was very depressed and had more important things to worry about, plus idk labels are hard and boxy, and also I think sexuality is more of a fluid thing anyway, rather than being concrete, but I love the female form, especially to draw.

I got straight As for the first two years of high school, but then I decided that if I didn’t want to go to an Ivy League school (which I don’t) then I shouldn’t care so much, so now I’m more average, and I enjoy being average in this respect, because I’m pretty much an extreme everywhere else.

When I get older I want to live in a little cute house or apartment by myself, except for a few cats, where it is warm all the time, and listen to music constantly, write poetry, read, and paint and draw, and take photos for my whole life.

You can find my art, sketches, and my photography under “links”.  I may put photos of myself there too, but I don’t usually like my face, so not a lot.
