Shennis of the World Unite

This picture is named 'shenni.jpg'.

This confuses me. I'm not sure what the mathematical odds are of someone creating the same word that my parents did when they realized that it would take a few years for me to accurately pronounce my full first name.

I'm also not sure why 'Shenni' seemed to be a good name for a giant stone canine warrior.

After looking at the source page, the creator of this canine warrior tells us that the drawing is for his dear friend 'ShenniBabee'.

I wonder if Shenni is an actual name that parents in some faraway country actually give to their children - or if its a common abbreviation for some other complicated S-name.

I've never met another Shenni, or even another Shenandoah, aside from a valley, a university, a
brewing company,
a music festival,
a poultry machinery plant,
an airport,
a river,
a bluegrass band,
a vineyard,
a Jimmy Stewart movie,
an astronomical society,
and a non-profit Shakespeare organization.

Apparently in Virginia, they throw my name around as if it's some type of B-class obscenity.

I'm going to a class called 'Activities for Stress Management'. I envision these activities including smoking skinny cigarettes through Cruella DeVille filters, drinking brandy, lounging about in red velvet bathrobes, playing darts and bumper pool, laughing heartily with deep, booming vowels, and eventually, after we have become acclimated to these activities, illicit explosions of casual sex in the poorest-lit corners of the room. Sadly, I have a sneaking suspicion that it will involve napping, drinking tea, yoga, and occasionally hugging smelly UNC students.

Yesterday my music theory teacher gave our 13-person class a spelling test. These students have all been in 'music school' for at least as long as I have, some longer, and most have been playing their instruments for years and years, and they're allegedly going to go be famous musicians, or respected educators.
But they can't spell 'rhythm'.
They can write down words like rhythym, or rithym, or even rithum. They know what it means. They just can't spell it.
Shameful.
