Hello
Hey there! Seems you've found your way to a rather dank recess of the internet. Welcome, and I hope you enjoy your stay. My name is Harlan or Lan/Lannie/Lanney for short. If you're wondering what my Wikipedia username has to do with this name, well the answer is that it really doesn't at all.

Geographically, I'm currently situated in the Mid-Atlantic (United States), where I attend university. When not living in a dorm, however, I split my time between Canada, France, and Japan.

A little thing I enjoy doing is making lists. It started with writing down my favourite books, movies, and shows, since I tend to draw a blank when questioned (even though these pieces of media consume much of my life). Now, I keep lists of many other things too, such as quotes from the books I read (which sometimes end up being paragraphs long), random things I like, and even names that sound pretty to me. These last come from a variety of places – historical primary sources, ads, books, overheard conversations, etc. On a bad day, I like to read through them to hear the sound of the letters in my head.

As a testament to how much I like lists, here's a (non-exclusive) list of things I keep lists of:


 * Favourite books (and favourite characters within them, ranked)
 * Favourite movies
 * Favourite TV series
 * Book quotes
 * Names
 * Small things I like in life (e.g. hotel rooms, the smell of dried blood, or the mask belts of a certain brand of disposable face mask)
 * 18th-19th century articles of clothing
 * Reasons why I like my favourite band
 * Things I want to do before I die
 * Number of stray cats I've seen in various cities around the world, ranked
 * Historic landmarks in my school's town
