Anoka is a pretty unique town. Tucked in the suburbs about 30 minutes north of the cities. It's common to pass through anoka on highway 10 on your way to St. Cloud. Anoka is Halloween capital of the world (dont trust me? google that shit.) The rum river runs behind anoka high school, know there for an eclectic population of students; The goth kids hide in the library and play magic, the ethnic kids crowd the front doors of the main commons, the fake chicks that chill in front of the deca mart, and the various other clicks of hicks, g's, emos, and yaddas slathered throughout the school. Everyone tends to cling to one clique or another at Anoka. Kids get bored real easy. Drinking is a sport, drugs are recreational, taco night is a must.
The high school looks like a concrete prison with a waffle ceiling on the inside. We hold some classes in trailers and some in the barns behind the school. The "free lot" is where the kids smoke cigs.
Anoka hot spots and activities: the aquatic center, rocket park, cruising main street late at night, streaking during football games, fireworks in the main commons, wave pool, crooked lake, third layer, grand slam, .... the variety.
The rum river dam runs through main street. There is a little stone hut just south of the dam. And a retired amphitheater they should really restore.
If you are from Anoka you understand the irony in our catch phrase, "Stay classy, be classy, act classy, Anoka."

Anorexia is a REAL eating disorder.

Get the anorexia mug.A mental disorder where a person feels a strong desire to lose weight. Contrary to belief, when an anorexic person looks in the mirror they don't see something different. They see themselves, but in an extremely over-analyzed way, and they focus in on the fat that they have. It's not about being fat, but HAVING fat, rather. For most people with anorexia, getting rid of fat is getting rid of failure and 'becoming pure'. These people usually are perfectionists in one way or another. A lot of them also have a lot of trouble saying no, and are afraid of not pleasing those around them.
Anorexia is different from dieting. It is not self-induced. It is not caused by looking at pictures of Nicole Richie and deciding that you'd like to be glamorous and look just like her. It's a disease which is, basically, hell.

Get the Awokened mug.Anorexia Nervosa (AN) essentially refers to a mental illness affecting both genders, but primarily females, whereby an individual has irregular perceptions of their body image. This causes them to develop extreme trepidation at the prospect of weight gain, dieting, starving themself, frequent exercise and calorie counting which subsequentally gives them what is known as emaciation. It requires inordinate amounts of mental and physical concentration and efforts if one wishes to conquer it, although they never really "conquer" it as it is still in them somewhere. Similarly, people with this eating disorder tend to have a very low body mass index (bmi), usually 16 or lower to the point where they may need a feeding tube. If it gets to the point where it gets below fifteen, without serious treatment, the patient will die, at least it is very feasible!
