Testing the Waters

Hello All!

So, I have decided to start a blog. About twelve years after the rest of the world. This isn't true entirely. I've had blogs in the past, i just wasn't very good at using them. And no one would ever want to read them anyway.

Let me tell you a little bit about me right now in my life.

The Stats:
Name: Anna Louise [last name to remain undisclosed at this point]
Birth date: September 2
Current Age: 20
Favorite Color: Pink. I know that sounds cliché and all but honestly I am a huge fan of all colors. Pink just makes me feel good. Yay psychology!
Hometown: Marion, Iowa
Current Local: Buena Vista University in the currently not-so-sunny hamlet of Storm Lake, Iowa
Favorite Music: I would like to think I am pretty eclectic in my music tastes. I like a lot of different types of music. But it is the passion that a band or person puts into their music that makes it really appealing to me. I know that everyone tends to be passionate about what they do, the next step is reaching me with it. I do tend to like things a little more melodic as opposed to rap and stuff. Not that I am entirely opposed to rap, so long as I can connect.
Hobbies: Reading, Writing, Listening to Music, Watching and Critiquing Movies, Sleeping
Guilty Pleasures: Rivendale [ask about it if you want], Gossiping, YouTube, TAI TV, Food, Harry Potter, Twilight, Photo Shoping, Napping


Song of the Moment: Born to Run - Bruce Springsteen,Born to Run [lyrics and a sample here]
[if you don't know this song already I seriously recommend it. Born to Run is the album that really put Springsteen out there as the rock genius that he is. I could probably go on forever about this song. Just check it out.]

TAI Song of the Moment: Checkmarks - Almost Here [see video here] [lyrics here]
[Off of Almost Here, Checkmarks is weighted with hostility. It still has some of that unique TAI sound that I love and adore, but it is a bitter harder than most of their other stuff. Now I have no problem with this, and I enjoy the song immensely. You should too, check it out yo!]

Album of the moment: Viva la Cobra - Cobra Starship

[I became the proud owner of ¡Viva La Cobra! tonight, and I couldn't be more excited to fall in love with all of it. You can't help but want to dance to this music, and here's the fact: I don't dance. But these folks make me want to dance. So you know what you need to do? If you haven't already, Check it out!]

Now that I have imposed my music opinions on you (a limited amount of everything I have to say you'll get more in the future of course.) I haven't made exact decisions on where I want this whole blog thing to head. I just know I have a lot of thoughts that run through my head and never make it out. So here is my outlet. I can't wait to share more with you!

Real quick, ways to get a hold of me:

MSN: nanners2006@hotmail.com
AIM: amgirl1987
MySpace: myspace.com/thenoiseinmyhead
email: anna.lafontant@gmail.com

Just let me know you found me here. I love making new friends. So bookmark me here and I look forward to amazing you with the brilliance (or psychotics) that is my happy little head.

And I depart tonight with a picture of the totally rad shoes I bought tonight! How cute are they?!?


Love, Peace, and Rock and Roll,
Anna
