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.

A <a href="http://kristianthacker.tumblr.com" target="_blank">photographer friend</a>, who once <a href="http://www.polaroidaday.com" target="_blank">took a polaroid every day for over a year</a>, recently suggested I try writing things down as often as possible, and sharing them.</p> <p>So I’ve been trying to do that. I don’t post every day, but I do more often than not. Sometimes I write poems, sometimes prose. Sometimes it’s serious and sometimes it sucks. But I’m writing things down, and that’s a start.</p> <p>Enjoy.</p>http://anniemaggard.com/post/427932402http://anniemaggard.com/post/427932402Fri, 05 Mar 2010 01:05:16 -0700<embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://anniemaggard.com/swf/audio_player.swf?audio_file=http://www.tumblr.com/audio_file/427816760/tumblr_kyspz1kVdt1qztl9b&color=FFFFFF" height="27" width="207" quality="best"></embed><br/><br/><p><b>\Song of the Day\ </b>Neko Case - Deep Red Bells</p>http://anniemaggard.com/post/427816760http://anniemaggard.com/post/427816760Thu, 04 Mar 2010 23:28:13 -0700<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kyoc7jNCn71qztl9bo1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://26.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kyoc7jNCn71qztl9bo2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://27.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kyoc7jNCn71qztl9bo3_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://27.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kyoc7jNCn71qztl9bo4_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p>Morning in Old Town.</p>http://anniemaggard.com/post/422665659http://anniemaggard.com/post/422665659Tue, 02 Mar 2010 14:40:31 -0700<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kyo5tlQLPQ1qztl9bo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://anniemaggard.com/post/422453415http://anniemaggard.com/post/422453415Tue, 02 Mar 2010 12:22:33 -0700<embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://anniemaggard.com/swf/audio_player.swf?audio_file=http://www.tumblr.com/audio_file/422452260/tumblr_kyo5s3DAJb1qztl9b&color=FFFFFF" height="27" width="207" quality="best"></embed><br/><br/><p><b>\Song of the Day\ </b>Phoenix - 1901</p>http://anniemaggard.com/post/422452260http://anniemaggard.com/post/422452260Tue, 02 Mar 2010 12:21:39 -0700<p>1.
