Hi Lanni,

I am writing to let you know that one of your photos has
been short-listed for inclusion in the fifth edition of our
Schmap New York Guide, to be published at the end of this
month.

http://www.schmap.com/shortlist/p=56025902N00/c=SH20021591

While we offer no payment for publication, many
photographers are pleased to submit their photos, as Schmap
Guides give their work recognition and wide exposure, and
are free of charge to readers. Photos are published at a
maximum width of 150 pixels, are clearly attributed, and
link to high-resolution originals at Flickr.

Best regards,

Emma Williams,
Managing Editor, Schmap Guides

i can’t be the only person that thought of this.

click the links to read the hilarious words of my very brilliant RA.

when i was a kid i thought that vegetarians eat rocks. my reasoning? they don’t eat anything that was alive, so they can’t eat animals, and they can’t eat plants. that only leaves rocks. tasty, tasty rocks.

when will people start to understand that i may be a pink haired college freshman, but i’m full of trivial information, and i’m always right? lol.

“hey lan, what does ISS stand for?”
“international space station.”
“haha. but really, what does it stand for?”

“yo lanno, would you like to do a waltz with me? one two three four one two three four.”
“a waltz goes one two three one two three. it’s in 3/4 time.”
“i think i would know, since i’m the one that has done a waltz before.”

“geez lanni, why’d you pick the table with an influx of chairs?”
“are you using the word ‘influx’ in the right context? i thought it meant ‘incoming’ or something.”
“nah, it means ‘many.’”
“are you sure? the prefix is ‘in.’”
“i’m really good with vocabulary, so yes, i’m sure.”

“lan, why do you have a bottle of ibuprofen and a bottle of acetaminophen? they’re the same thing.”
“no, they’re most definitely not.”
“yes, they are. we learned about it in chem.”

i could go on, but i think i’m kind of starting to sound like an asshole. now would be a good time to mention that there is a whole lot of stuff i don’t know that most people do. like how long to set the microwave, etc.

no one: hey lanni, what are you doing out here at 11 o’clock at night with a flashlight and a can of gray spray paint?
lanni: just doing my civic duty.

don’t forget to take in account that:
(a) i was actually graffiti-ing OVER some swear words that popped up over the weekend.
(b) my mother was with me.
(c) it was for the good of the country.

well so today was nice. subs in math and econ because it was new teacher training day or something. this meant i had noto for the first time ever, and i have to say, he really is a good teacher. i learned more about the entire unit during his one class then my regular teacher has taught me the whole week. well maybe not that much, but it seemed like a lot.

and during mentoring club a middle schooler named sarah and i put up posters around the school, which ended up taking like a half an hour. she’s a nice kid though, so it was fun. she designs websites like me also : )

oh, and i’m designing buttons for “she stoops to conquer,” the play at our school that my good friend dine happens to be in.

and jay hamme comes up to me and says he found my website when he googled himself, which made me laugh (mainly because this happened last year when ms. matzky, my phys ed teacher, was googling herself). so if you are reading this, jay or ms. matzky, nice to see your google skillz are still tip-top.
