I was in the NY Times

Post by aoifestorm » Mon Feb 20, 2006 7:46 pm

I'm in a "collage" of people who take their own photos, and put them online.  This lady contacted me through my Flickr, two weeks ago, so I sent her a photo.
I thought I'd be microscopic, but luckily, the photo isn't that small.  Also, they only talk abuot myspace and friendster, for some reason.
Image Anyway, this is fun, because it's so random.  So far since putting photos on Flickr, I've had an exhibit I was never able to see, and now this.

Aoife made the papers!

It's a very cool thing to be in one, isn't it Aoife?  Way to go!

Go go aoife! And so on. Shame they didn't mention you by name though.

Congratulations Aoife. :)  Beats the heck out of appearing in the Post with your hand covering half the picture.

Speaking of which (and tying into another thread in The Club)...

... is it sad that I, a British citizen, a) know all of these newspapers and b) am laughing at how true this seems?

Oh well. Funny. ;D

I once had a letter in the times. You know the scary thing about writing to the Times? People write back to you. I had two letters agreeing with me. One was fairly innocuous, just a "good show that man" sort of affair. The other was type-written on that weird shiny paper you don't see anymore and spent several pages ranting on about god knows what. All things considered, I'd rather do like Aoife and have my picture in there. At least that way you don' gbet crazies writing to you.

That's the first step to becoming powerful. Pretty soon you shall pop up in every paper known to man, and then the world shall truly be yours.
Before continuing, it may be in your best interest, dear reader, to stop and ponder this. Picture it in your mind's eye. An evil one-eyed midget named Cheatum swam across the Gulf of Mexico wearing a shark fin on his back and then planted a bomb on a boat. Think about that. Let that sink in. Now. Wouldn't you want to buy a wrestling show after seeing this?

You could even become like Everywhere Girl.
