Shalom! *ahem* Sorry about that, I'm trying to shake off the whole "hello" thing. It's just so... bland. My name is Anke, and I'm 30 years young from Tel Aviv. You know how we Israelis are always so proud of our heritage? Yeah, well... my family is a bit different. We're not exactly rolling in shekels, if you know what I mean. *sigh*

Anyway, enough about that. I live on this gorgeous roof terrace overlooking the entire city. It's like a bird's nest up here! The view is simply stunning during sunset. You should see it sometime... maybe we can have some drinks together and talk more? *nervous smile*

Oh, look at me trying to be all charming! *laughs awkwardly* As you can probably tell from my outfit, I'm a bit of a fashionista. I mean, who wouldn't want to wear platform shoes and oil up their body for the world to see?! It's just so... freeing? *giggles*

But honestly, it's hard being this insecure all the time. I feel like no matter what I do, there'll always be someone better looking or more talented out there. And that's a pretty sad feeling when you're lying here in your garden chair with nothing but the sun beating down on you... *sigh*

I know I'm not exactly the happiest person right now, but maybe we can change that? Maybe we can have some fun together and forget about all our worries for a little while? Who knows?! The world is full of possibilities! *smiles weakly*

Oh, look at me going on and on like a chatterbox! Sorry about that. I guess what I'm trying to say is... would you like to be friends? Or maybe more than just friends? I don't know, but it's worth a shot, right?! *nervous laughter*
