An Interview with Annonymous

By Haley

Well . . . here is my interview with this blog's other new contributor, Annonymous (Ann). We met over video chat, though her side was so darkened that it was hard to make out her face or her surroundings. The interview didn't last long, but she gives great clues as to what she is going to be writing about. Kind of.

Beginning of Interview
2/25/16

Haley: Thanks Ann for agreeing to video chat with me on                              .

Ann: Omit that please. People don't need to know what chat platforms I use.

Haley: Ann, you have decided to join this blog anonymously. Why is that?

Ann: The things I want to write about are not necessarily things I want the whole world to know about me. But I still think they need to be said. Simple as that.

Haley: Well that makes me feel a bit nervous, heh heh.

Ann: I'm OK with that.

[Awkward pause.]

Haley: OK, well, what types of things are you going to be writing about?

Ann: Well I'm certainly not Edward Snowden if that's what you're thinking. I don't know any state secrets or anything like that. I just have a lot of thoughts about certain topics that exist in legal grey areas.

Haley: Are you talking about, like, having dirt on other people? Or is it drug stuff? Sex stuff? Please don't let it be sex stuff.

Ann: Maybe the second one.

Haley: So you're basically Walter White, is what you're saying?

Ann: No. I'm just an average person who has a lot of experience with a very politicized topic, one that even in our current cultural climate puts people at risk to acknowledge their involvement with.

Haley: Average person, huh? An average person who lives in the city of . . . ?

Ann: I think you are hung up on the anonymous part. Let it go. It is what it is.

Haley: My husband hates that phrase

Ann: Good to know. I care very deeply about what your husband, a person whom I have never met, thinks about a random phrase.

Haley: Ann, you're sassy and I love it.

[A small crash is heard in the background from Ann's side.]

Ann: I have to go.

Haley: Ok but-

[Ann's screen goes blank.]



So there you have it. Ann wants to keep her background secret to avoid being connected directly to the topics she wants to discuss. Fair enough. I don't know how often she will be contributing but you can find her future works under the label "Ann".
