A Reintroduction

Hey Tumblr,

As with many of my social media pages, I’ve greatly neglected you for a rather lengthy amount of time. What can I say, my interest in things has a short shelf life. But It’s that random time of the year where I feel like I need to be more creative and like read a book or something, so I think I’m going to lean into that urge until I ultimately don’t feel like it anymore.

So...

In case you’re seeing this because you randomly followed my in like 2013 because I reblogged Fall Out Boy and Supernatural posts, but totally forgot I existed (totally understandable, I don’t blame you at all). Or you were one of the unfortunate ones that came over from my super terrible 2014 YouTube videos that I’m too proud and lazy to take down, let me reintroduce myself:

I’m Annette. When I started this account I was working on my bachelor’s degree in journalism and sometime shortly after I made my grand debut here I began doing freelance music journalism. My degree helped me do the thing I wanted to do: talk to musicians and help tell their story. Unfortunately, it didn’t help me get paid. I painfully pretended like the clout of saying I got to talk to so-and-so in such-and-such band on the phone was totally worth earning basically nothing for the better part of decade while I worked in retail and felt guilty for not doing enough free labor for my “career”.

Anyways, I’ve been on hiatus as a writer for over a year now, and it has definitely has been the right move for me. But I do miss writing for myself. As I continue to word vomit here, I realize more and more that I do actually kind of miss this part of writing. Also, I do a lot of fun stuff that makes me feel things sometimes that I miss telling the world about in a sentimental, probably a little romanticized, and really trying hard to not sound pretentious sort of way. So if you’re cool with it, Tumblr, I may try to do a bit of that here.

Here’s picture I took a Riot Fest this year, so you know I mean business when I say I go on adventures and stuff:
