I can't accurately call it a chair,
when in fact it is a work of art. They're amazing clear acrylic
and chrome. So beautiful. They would go really well with this
lamp. Feel free to get
it for me. Now all I need are the Barcelona Chairs. Unf. Modern
furniture orgasms. Thx.
Also, my light fixture got installed. No thanks to any of you.
I'm so eagerly anticipating the delivery of my amazing sofa, chair
and end table. They're total heaven and belong with me. I went
to the store and visited them today. Just to make sure they're
all right before they get delivered. Must unpack boxes so as to
prepare for their glorious arrival. I think this
could be next. Its a cheap knock off, but I've always sort of
had an animosity toward cocktail [yes, cocktail... NOT coffee!]
tables. They seem cluttery. I installed the above-cabinet lights
and put up the decorative glass pieces today. Installed the lights
under the bed as well. They look very decadent. There currently
is a picture of my beloved marshmallow bed sans lights on SherrodTV.I
still need art work. Someone paint me something. I want a very
graphic sort of silk screen looking thing. Preferably huge.
My mother left today. I liked having her here, it was nice being
around her and she was a tremendous help with the moving. We did
it all ourselves! She made me more homesick though.
Its incredibly fun shopping with her. She's an interior designer
and knows everything about everything decor-related. Sales people
at furniture stores pay far more attention to customers who
are informed and walk around like they own the place. She kept
quizzing them on materials and manufactuerers and throwing out
the names of early 20th centrury designers and architects. "No,
no... we're going for something Ruhlman...
Eames!
Like that! A Van
Der Rohe sort of look..."
These salespeople I'm sure were puzzled. Me in messy ponytail,
jeans and obnoxious yellow tshirt with my interior designer
saying "No, she hates red. That's too traditional for her,
she won't like it... what else do you have... any hand knotted
tibetan wool rugs?" Completely hilarious. Love her.
I'll do pictures after the new furniture comes.

In the immortal words of ... well - next time I'm hiring movers.
I actually was able to move for $36.71. Which is stellar considering
my move from Atlanta to Reno cost me $3000. The new apartment
is beautiful, now that I actually have my beloved metal and glass
furniture out, as opposed to it being in storage. It will be even
more beautiful when my new things get delivered on Saturday. So
excited!
I love that I've moved beyond Ikea. Thank christ. Ikea is such
boring modern consumerist crap. Its really cheap, and really cheaply
made. This stuff that's coming on satuday, ooooh - not cheap.
Mmmmmm, yea for big white furniture and non-shiny metal.
There are still a few things that I need. A lamp, some art and
a small table for sifl. Lamps I'm looking for online. I have exactly
what I want in mind, and I'm purchasing nothing until I find it.
Art work, god... I so passionately hate art, I will most likely
do some sort of gorgeous frame on the wall containing nothing.
I attempted to change the dining room fixture. I need help. Who's
smart with this stuff? Come over. |

I really am irritated by people who 'rant' on their websites,
but I feel I need to make this known, k? I can be whatever the
fuck I want. If you need me to constantly justify my intelligence
or my experience or dictate to you every major technology milestone
in my life since I was 7, then the problem is with YOU, not me.
I can be mildly attractive, or hideously ugly, or even beautiful,
however far removed from reality that may be. I can be flirtatious
or a major bitch, or generally uninterested in interacting with
you at all. None of these things are a real reflection of who
I am or what I know. If you feel animosity toward me, try to remember
whatever experience caused that, and I doubt it really had anything
to do with my actions, but in fact the combination of personality
traits which I possess that seem to be mutually exclusive. |

Internet is going down sometime today or tomorrow or something.
My mom gets here tomorrow too.
I'm moving. Please come help me. I will totally buy you beer
and pizza. I am not kidding. I normally wouldn't need help,
but I have a cold, and I really do not feel well. Sigh. I hate
being sick and I hate being dependent on others.

Stop and listen to me for just a moment. I have to tell you something.
I'm still in awe over this. Swept
Away. I've never seen the original. I just saw the remake.
It was so good I'm going to watch it again. I can't tell you why
I liked it. That's a secret. Everyone knows I'm all good and pure
and stuff. Like, I don't smoke or drink or do drugs, and I don't
drink coffee or tea or eat chocolate or seafood, or umm, sugar...
or ummm, carbs now... and I'm just generally a well-behaved sort
of girl. Ahem. So, people always ask my what my vice is.... right.
You should see this movie. |

There is really only one person I feel comfortable calling in
the middle of the night for no reason. I could call him in the
middle of the night or the middle of the day, and say nothing
interesting or important, and he always seems quite happy to hear
from me. I never have to have an agenda
or a purpose, I can be completely without plan and its fine. Its
a very nice feeling, and I think it takes a lot of work to overcome
ingrained politeness and social convention and become comfortable
with it - especially since we're both such hardcore southerners. |

I still haven't sorted through my Monterey pictures. I'm shocked
I have internet access at all, considering how the connection
has been dropping for 20+ hrs a day. So, here are some key points:
- I bought a dozen eggs when I went grocery shopping. Now
I can't find them anywhere.
- Super excited about DefCon
- I'm getting sick. Went to doctor today. Got script for anti-biotics.
Strep test: Negative. Diagnosed with acute pharyngitis.
- SAS70 trainer guy at work today made me crack up a lot.
- SCO
are a bunch of fucking assholes. Let's drive to Lindon and
torch the place.
- Please take me to see Charlie's Angels and Legally Blonde
II.
- I need more shoes.
- Things I need to do more: Shop, work out, leave my apartment.
- Its all moving a bit quickly.
- Favourite songs right now Electrocute - I love my daddy,
Soviet - Flaunt It.
- <3 you. Really, I do.

I'm so exhausted. I have a million things to do, and I've only
had 7g of carbs today. I don't think I'll be making it up to 20.
My internet connection is being terrible, and Charter Comm hasn't
guaranteed me a connection without packet loss until friday. I
always love a visit from the cable boy. Yeah. Apparently other
people share this affinity.
My weekend in Monterey was incredibly awesome. It was totally
relaxing and perfect and I got everything that I wanted. Actually,
I didn't get to meet Ed,
or take a Sea Lion home with me, but I got everything else. Oh
yes. I'll put up pictures and give a full report tomorrow - I
promise. Totally swoon.
In other news that makes me ecstatic with happiness; my mother
is definitely coming to visit me. My mom will be here on the 26th
to help me move into my new
apartment and make me feel less homesick.
Then on July 31st, I'm on Southwest Flight 1357 from Reno to
Las Vegas for DefCon.
I'm on the same flight as the adorable Amber
and Thoren,
so that should be ridiculous fun, as well as make my first DefCon
not so intimidating. Donicer
is very graciously letting me stay with him in Vegas. Thank
you SO much. :] So, if you're going to DefCon
and you want to make me feel not terrified and intimidated,
email me. Wow, the shopping that must be done between now and
then.
On another note, there was something making me extremely depressed.
Its taken care of now, and I'm not on the verge of ruin.

Christ. I lost my cellphone. Not the work cellphone, the personal
cellphone. The one which has all the numbers of my friends and
family stored in it. I couldn't even call my dad if I tried. I'd
have to call information or something. I wonder if he's listed.
Saturday night I was standing in the kitchen and looking for
it. I called it with the landline and heard it ring once and
then the devastating noise of machine pain and death - the battery
died. Argh! I've turned my apartment upside down. At least I
know its in here somewhere. Come back to me my beloved Nokia
8190!
I had plans tonight that I canceled so I could stay home and
write documents for work. On one hand that's illustrative of
a good work ethic, dedication thing. On the other hand it means
I'm one of those kids that has no life.
I miss my mom. She was supposed to come visit me on the 26th
but now she doesn't know if she can because of work issues.
This kills me. If she can't come I'll be completely heart broken.
Also, I'm incredibly poor. I'm moving at the end of the month
and I don't know how the hell I'm going to do that being both
poor and assuming my mother can't come help me.
Things always get better for me, happy sunshine, etc. But right
now I'm incredibly miserable.

Next weekend there is somewhere I want to be. I need to figure
that out. Girl with plans, etc. I keep making more and more culinary
progress. I seriously need to cook for someone. I don't think
I could pull off an entire dinner party, just due to lack of experience.
The biggest dinner party I've ever had was Teriyaki fest, 2000.
There were probably 20 people there over the course of the night.
That was fun, and I learned the magic of sauce. Heh.
Does it ever seem like I just fill this space with meaningless
non-information so as to avoid talking about anything real? I
do. You have to learn to read into the cryptic mess to get any
of it. I appreciate those who try.

I'm exhausted and I have a million things to do. Stress. I read
a fashion magazine a day. Carrie said, "When I was in New
York and poor, sometimes I'd buy Vogue instead of dinner, I felt
it was more important to feed my soul." I feel like its more
important to completely empty my soul of any sort of reality or
innocence. Today someone subtly suggested I seek help. Am I really
that psychologically troubled? Then there was last week when Option
1 [yes, ladies and gentlemen, he has a codename and thus has his
first appearance in the venerable pages of the gv] told me how
incredibly normal I am... but, "in a good way." Mental
breakdown? Christ, maybe I will need that psychologist after all...
but, in a good way.

I love you Expedia! My mom is coming to Reno for $145.50 at the
end of the month, and then I'm going to Atlanta in October for
$138.00. YEA!!! Seriously, Atlanta-Reno is so super cheap right
now. If you can scrape together $150.00, come see me! I promise
it will be fun and I'll take you to SF. Unf! I need houseguests,
please. |

Getting dressed to head over to the venerable xenophile's house
for a viewing of the animatrix. I made a great CD last night after
beating my CD burner into submission. Its so good. Mmmmm.
I had all these things I wanted to get done this weekend, and
did basically none of it. The laundry is starting to really pile
up. Ugh. I need someone to come over and talk to me while I fold.
Or at least talk to me on the phone.
Speaking of the phone, I now have unlimited long distance on
the good phone. Do you consider yourself a discriminating
audiophile? Well, I consider myself one, and the sound quality
of the cellphone is just not up to my exacting standards. Its
fine for car-driving chit-chat and talking while shopping, but
its just not good enough for important phone calls. A cellphone
may be acceptable quality to you - but I'm a connoisseur here,
people. I need to hear each detail of every decibel.
