Annie Maggard

A green/brown-eyed grad student and soon-to-be-archaeologist/sometimes-writer/wannabe-photographer hailing from the lovely industrial/kind-of-hillbilly wasteland of Ashland, Kentucky, who currently lives in the bikeutopia/yuppie-clusterfuck of Fort Collins, Colorado. Has a tendency to drawl long a's and a knack for inappropriate jokes. Loves cooking, hip-hop, flannel shirts, microbrews, owls, knitting, banter, drinking on sundays, and her pickup truck. Devotes inordinate amounts of time and energy to napping and her really ugly dog.

Blogs in an attempt to record/share her overwhelming fascination with/unconditional love for practically everything.

In response to Sarah’s GPOYW…  It does grow fast! So much faster than you think it will. This was two years for me. Also your boyfriend is in the background of the first photo. Weird.

Props to whoever came up with this ad campaign. It almost makes me want to buy Old Spice. Not that I haven’t done that before anyway.
