Ahem. Chicago. Chicago. Chicago. Chicago. Chicago. Chicago. Chicago. Chicago.

My pictures from C9 are up. Most of them are blurry and horrible. I am too tired to write more. LV is exhausting.
Tuesday April 29, 2003 7:48 PM

I have a blue plastic wal-mart bag on my head. That could only mean one thing. I will be seeing my beloved muffintop and the delicious Andrew in 15 hours. I am so excited! Heather is going to give my hair some blue heaven, so I won't look so horribly boring anymore. I can't wait.

I'm arriving in Las Vegas at 2:00pm tomorrow for 5 days of C9 level debauchery. I can't wait to see everyone and do ummm, I dunno - stuff. I really have no idea what the actual activities are, but as we all know - I can have fun anywhere. YEA!
heliosapien: var sherrod.hair = "#000000"; ?
GirlVinyl: haha
GirlVinyl: #000066
heliosapien: yeah, i was gonna ask..
heliosapien: streaks of blue?
heliosapien: or is it all blue now?
GirlVinyl: Its blueblack
GirlVinyl: But I get blue and white tomorrow
heliosapien: interesting
GirlVinyl: Hair is a process, not a product.
GirlVinyl: Heh.

How much do you value your life? I don't mean being alive as opposed to dead, I mean the life you live. Your friends, your work, your surroundings, your feelings, your possessions. What's something you're missing? How much value does it have?

I would pay $100 to go to MJQ right now, if I had the luxury. Possibly even more.

My life is pretty happy right now. I have just about everything I want, but I have no loud, dark provider of britpop.

HR Giger, William S. Burroughs, Zsa Zsa Gabor, Hank Aaron, Duff McKagan and I all have the same birthday. Great genius, all of us.

I think I have met every person I know - either directly or indirectly - through the internet.

Remember that we serve at the pleasure of those we serve. It may sometimes seem that the station we are afforded is ours to choose, but its not. Its a fragile and precarious position that can be revoked at any moment. I should remember to be more careful

LIVE BREAKING NEWS UPDATE: FORMER POW CHIEF WARRANT OFFICER RONALD D. YOUNG JR IS MY NEW BOYFRIEND!

Army guy: Congratulations on scoring sherrod! CWO Young: Why thank you, she really is a great girl, I look forward to making out with her a lot and showing her my hot pajamas.
Common knowledge dictates that the hottest thing in the world is a tall, well dressed BSD genius. A lesser known fact, however is that a closely following second hottest thing in the world is a former POW dressed in blue pajamas.

Please meet my new boyfriend Chief Warrant Officer Ronald D. Young Jr. Isn't he just the ideal picture of American heroism? Apache helicopter pilot, rescued POW, blue pajama-wearer. Delish! He's a bit scruffy in this picture, but how good would you look kept as an Iraqi prisoner for 3 weeks? They didn't let him have a shower the whole time. Awwww.

CWO Young is from Lithia Springs, Ga. That's a southside Atlanta suburb. He's 26 and flies helicopters. His unit is nicknamed "the vampires" and they have bat insignias on their helicopters. Tee hee, because "they fly at night". Omg, can you say match made in heaven? Anyway, I eagerly await the return of my love to the states.

I'm really thankful that all of the hotties in the military [by virtue of being in the military, you are automatically declared a hottie] have done such a lovely job for us. War is scary, death is scary, but these people go about it knowing this, and understanding it far better than many of us ever will. Now, how do I get a date with a former POW?
Wednesday 16.04.2003 9:35 PM

Please pardon two political posts in one day, but I'm watching Mona Charen on C-SPAN. She is the author of "Useful Idiots," and after 30 minutes of watching her speak, I officially declare her a useful genius.
Sunday 13.04.2003 10:59 PM

Sherrod is a genius

I love him. I miss him. Sniffle. He was why I watched the war. Some select quotes from my favourite Baghdad boyfriend:

"There is no presence of American infidels in the city of Baghdad,"

"My feelings - as usual - we will slaughter them all"

"I can say, and I am responsible for what I am saying, that they have started to commit suicide under the walls of Baghdad. We will encourage them to commit more suicides quickly."

Be sure to check We Love The Iraqi Information Minister so it can be further slashdotted.

One of the things I love most about the internet is #insub. I'm glad that hep and jej and twid made me go there. It makes me smile when I am otherwise unhappy. I'm heading out to the finest goth club in Reno tonight. Heh. Oh boy. The nerdy kids from work are coming which rules cause they're the coolest! I really miss my EFN, but I must press on. I'm excited about seeing Heather and Andrew soon. Hopefully will be seeing Hep and Scar next week too. That will make me smiley.

I love him so much. I love him almost as much as I hate him. If I just wait long enough, everything will go away. I know it will. Everything always goes away. Just because its taking longer than expected this time, doesn't mean its any different.

I can look out my window and see these huge, blue, snow-covered mountains. I'm becoming overly philosophical lately. I feel like no one can handle me. I've always felt like that, but never for so long. I don't think I'm depressed, I think its a long stint of unhealthy introspection. That could be the same thing though.

Things hurt, right? What do you do? Do you look at them more, or pretend like they don't exist? I've tried both. Immersion and stoicism. Everytime I have to pretend I'm not upset, it numbs me a little more, and eventually I'll just be dead. I think the thing I've heard most in my life is "Sherrod, things are not black and white." I have to keep remembering that people don't see things the way I do.

The lovely and delicious Amber put a link to this in her LJ. I really can't make any comments on it without incurring the wrath of my superiors. But, I will say its very interesting.
Tuesday 08.04.2003 6:55 PM

I really need to rock. I'm having terrible MJQ withdrawal. I've got a lotta electricity.
Saturday 07.04.2003 4:52 PM

An unfortunate reality - no one will ever really understand me because"Intimate Journals" is out of print. Alas, let's proceed with some observations anyway:

Friendster
Everyone is stunningly gorgeous and subcultural. How is that possible? Also, a dominant majority seem to be in 'open marriages'. What exactly is that a euphemism for?

#insub

<twid> i can give you his e-mail
<Sherrod> i cannot email some random person.
<Sherrod> Dear random hot guy... twid gave me your email.. come make out
with me and fix my network cards. love, sherrod.
<Sherrod> Aghghghhghghghg
<twid> perfect
<Sherrod> scary
<jej> THATS HOW THE INSUB MATCHMAKER WORKS.

twid and jej make me laugh so hard that my tummy hurts.

Quasidan
I got to call up and be on his radio show last night. That was fun. They were too lazy to take out the CD, so I got to hear lots of Pixies songs. I love him. He is awesome.

Today was sort of fun. I went non-stop shopping. They have a couple of L5P type stores here in the downtown area, and I stopped in those for a bit. I saw a big rockabilly type guy with a pompadour walking a bouncy, brown boxer. By the time I got close enough to accost him and freak out with "omg, omg, can I pet your dog?!?" he had put the doggie in the car, so I didn't get a chance to befriend it. But, it looked really happy, so I figured it knew I wanted to talk and stuff. Sigh. Dogs rule. I drove around the riverside area a bit. Its quite lovely and reminds me of Candler Park in Atlanta. I looked at some big high rise, loft type apartments, and some houses. I have to move in 2 months, so I suppose I should start looking.

After that I went to look for a stereo. I'm such a girl. I shop for non-computer electronics purely by aesthetics. I want a brushed aluminum looking one. There aren't many of those, and the few there are don't seem to have enough power to properly fill my apartment with the sounds of Morrissey.

After failed attempts at scoring a stereo, I went to the huge Target near the mall. That was fun and comforting and reminded me of home. Target trips with various EFN members are fond memories. I really miss them so much. I hope they're taking care of each other and behaving like they're supposed to. I can't wait to see Heather and Andrew at C9. I will miss everyone else, but at least I'll get to see a couple of them for a few days and feel a bit better. The homesickness is really starting to set in.

The awesome people at Redundant Networks are hiring. You should send a resume and try really hard to get this job.

Some of the benefits include:

  • Working a floor above me, seeing me just about everyday.
  • Bullet proof glass.
  • Being a 3.5 hr drive away from SF.
  • Big mountains everywhere, and apparently there is also skiing.
  • Gambling and prostitution are legal and alcohol sales are allowed whenever, wherever, omg, they even sell hard liquor in the wal-mart, 24 hrs a day, 7 days a week.*
  • No state income tax.
  • All kinds of other stuff.

    *Yes, I'm still straight Edge, dumas - these are things that would most likely benefit YOU, not me.

    Yes, the LJDrama was a prank. But a prank augmented by my reet fw foo! Ok, its not reet, and it took like 30 seconds, but some people thought it was cool.

    Another prank - this time at my expense - by scudhacks. Guess which 4 lines are not fiction.
    Tuesday 01.04.2003 5:28 PM

    FREE HEP!!!!

    This is total bullshit and a complete abuse of power by LJ staff. One of [or most likely, many of] the LJ Abuse staff is using their status to enforce fascist bullshit on Hep. Check here for details, and please send them email saying how wrong this is.
