When I asked Anna for some personal information about herself, she told me "I have no idea what I would say ...", so I took the liberty of putting together some information about her gathered from her postings on the forum.

Anna lives somewhere in the UK (London?). She was born July 13. What year? Well, she's old enough to be married (to a very sweet guy named Brad), but not too old for zits. She warns that you should not come over to her house if you have pimples. She likes to pop "spots", as she calls them. The British have such a quaint way of speaking! Anna is a very kind, supportive person who always has a virtual hug for her friends. She even signs her name as Anna xxx. The x's stand for kisses. She has a cat named Tricky. She suffers from both dysthymia and major depression, both of which are treatment-resistant.
