imagine evil's college essays  :airplease:

I found a bunch of old Lake Placid News (LPN), Adirondack Daily Express (ADE), Plattsburgh Press-Rebulican (PPR) articles archived as black and white PDF scans that mention Lizzy, some with photos of her:
 
 
 
Here's a rundown of the rest of the references:
 
Involvement in Sports
Skiing. "Lately, the students of St. Agnes School have accomplished a lot out of school. Many SAS students particpated recently in some exciting ski races: NYSEF World Cup race for JV (ages 7-10). Placings are as follows... Elizabeth Grant 20th". January 25, 1995 LPN Sports page box score showing her run time and placing ("8. Elizabeth Grant   44.33") in the Ed Damp Junior V World Cup. March 12, 1996 PPR
"The New York Ski Educational Foundation (NYSEF) held its annual family race and picnic for participants in the.series last Saturday, at which time the final standings were released... Elizabeth Grant (259)... Completed the top 10." March 23, 1996 ADE
Skating. "The following scholarships have been awarded by the Skating Club of Lake Placid to the skaters named below... $50 scholarships for ice or lessons... Elizabeth Grant." March 27, 1997 ADE Softball. She played center fielder for her middle school team. "Elizabeth grant [sic] OF-C". April 10, 1998 LPN Involvement in Other Extra-curricular Activities

March 7, 2000 LPN "After the Women's Ensemble it was the high school chorus' time to shine... Medley from 'Les Miserables' had many soloists, such as... Elizabeth Grant". June 23, 2000 LPN
What song do you think she sang?
Performed in a variety show (as well as Chuck and Charlie). June 23, 2000 LPN Secretary of the high school Key Club. "On Tuesday May 9, the Key Club members welcomed new leadership... Congratulations also go to the new secretary. Elizabeth Grant". June 23, 2000 LPN Staff of the Blue Times Bomber, the school newspaper which appears to have been an insert in the Lake Placid News. January 28, 2000  March 17, 2000 LPN  June 23, 2000 LPN Confirmation. "On Sunday afternoon. May 21, at 4:30 p.m.. Bishop Gerald Barbarito, bishop of Ogdensburg, came to Lake Placid and confirmed more than 50 people from area Roman Catholic churches, including St Agnes... It was a beautiful and solemn ceremony, with the church's altars and pillars decked in red, the bishop in his red chasuble (robe), wearing his miter on his head and holding his staff in hand. On the altar, dozens of red roses arranged in large vases added to the festive atmosphere. The 17 Lake Placid young people, all dressed in white robes, who received the gifts of the Holy Spirit in the sacrament of confirmation included... Elizabeth Grant". May 26, 2000 LPN Honor Roll
 
There are also many articles that list her on the honor roll:
Grade 7, High Honors. January 9, 1998 LPN  February 13, 1998 LPN  March 27, 1998 LPN  March 27, 1998 ADE  March 30, 1998 PPR  May 29, 1998 ADE  June 9, 1998 ADE  June 19, 1998 LPN  July 31, 1998 PPR Grade 8, Honors. March 5, 1999 LPN  March 8, 1999 ADE  March 12, 1999 LPN  May 7, 1999 LPN Grade 8, High Honors. June 18, 1999 LPN  July 20, 1999  July 23, 1999 LPN Grade 9, Honors. December 24, 1999 LPN  December 31, 1999 LPN  January 28, 2000 LPN This establishes pretty well that she started 9th grade in the fall of 1999. Unless you skip a grade, kids are 14 or 15 when they begin 9th grade (or at least turn 14 shortly after it begins). If Lizzy was really born in 1986 as she claims, she would have just turned 13 the summer before.   
 
Family Members
 
There's also a lot of articles mentioning other members of her family. I didn't spend a ton of time looking at those, but they appear to be mostly about her parents' efforts to organize opposition to a development project (Lake Placid does really remind me of Twin Peaks sometimes) for classic NIMBY reasons, her dad's real estate listings, and Chuck and Charlie's sports exploits (including a huge fish she caught).
 
However, this article describes in greater detail her dad's furniture company mentioned in that Domain Name Journal profile on him and this article gives more background on her family's ownership of "God Bless America" singer Kate Smith's home-- which Lizzy mentioned in this article and was the inspiration for the original title of AKA-- and their attempts to sell it at a large profit rather than an affordable price for the Kate Smith/God Bless America Foundation who wanted to turn it into a museum.
 
Note: Please let me know if any of my links appear wrong. That's a lot of links to copy and paste!

Boarding School

it will probably only be played in clubs and like beach parties and shit. Places where people aren't trying to listen to the lyrics and relate but just listen for a beat to dance to

Bye.
 
I hope Lana got a big cheque for this as Diana is going to ruin this.

...

the cigarette on her ear   

I CAN'T EVEN                   

Man I hope she tours the USA. We are her home country and we love her more than the bitches before. She lives in the US and she is an American. Be young, be dope and be proud.
 
I want her to tour the midwest especially: Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Chicago, and Detroit.

She's made it no secret that she's a fan of marijuana and even refers to the drug in her lyrics.
And possibly feeding a case of the munchies, Lana Del Rey was seen on Tuesday evening in London stocking up on snacks.
The 26-year-old singer battled the biting temperature in the capital as she went on a late night store-run in Soho.
   
Purchasing a large bag of tortilla chips Doritos, a can of Coca-Cola, and various other items, Lana kept her head down as she made her way home.
Braving the chill in currently taking over London, Lana hid her brunette locks underneath a black knitted hat.
 
Keeping warm, the singer sported a mid-length camel coloured fur coat which featured a large hood.
Dressed down, Lana teamed a white V-neck top with a dark of slim fitted denim jeans.
Ditching her heels, for her late night stroll, the New York City based songstress donned a pair of nude ballet pumps beautified by black embroidery. 
Wearing a lashing of black eyeliner, while she kept her make-up light, Lana also showed off her perfectly manicured red talons as she shielded her face from waiting photographers.
     
The sultry singer recently revealed that the follow-up to her chart-topping album Born To Die will be 'cinematic and dark'.
Speaking to Newsbeat, she said: 'It's a little more stripped down but still cinematic and dark.
'I've been working on it really slowly but I love everything I've done. I've been writing in Santa Monica and I know what the record sounds like. Now I just have to finish it.'

aw, another racist

I remember when I had my lana tumblr, someone was telling me how they were at a show and an older man was talking to her and a friend before the show started, calling lana 'lizzy', saying she was the sweetest girl and giving little anecdotes, and that he started tearing up during the show. I showed her a pic of bob and she confirmed it was him :')
 
Come a long way Lizzy
