Ugh. I am such a fricking dork.

I am taking apart my computer and packing it now. For immediate assistance, please call my cellphone or SMS me. Thank you for your participation.

I... I... I... am the happiest girl in the world. Today has been awful. Packing has been horrible. I hate it. Stress and pain and wah wah wah. But you know what... Morrissey.

Morrissey in Las Vegas. I'm not linking to it because I am going to get tickets before your lame ass. If this sells out and I don't get a ticket I will die.

Please, please, please... let me, let me, let me...

I haven't seen him live in many years. But I'm going to see him again soon. So there.

Sartre said "Hell is other people." Sherrod says "Hell is moving." Come help me pack.

Ok, so you know my mom, right? She's umm, an interesting character. Well, she has been helping with the Las Vegas apartment search. Also known as : Operation Swedish Bikini Team II.

Sidenote: her approval is important because she is a genius of interior design and if she vetoes a floor plan, I listen. She also has the exact measurement of my furniture and knows exactly how something will fit. I have learned over the years that this is her specialty and I defer to her judgment in all cases of furniture and housing. It's what she does for a living and she never tries to do computer stuff without my approval - so we have a good setup going in that regard.

She found an apartment that is to her liking. Ok, great. All I cared about was enough room for my furniture and not a long drive to the office. I did a mapquest and this place is 12 miles from where I will work. I find this acceptable and book it. Well, apparently it's in some thing called 'Sumerlin: a master-planned community'. Oh jeeez. It's parent company is The Howard Hughes Corporation. I have already tried some kleenex boxes on my feet. They fit ok.

Hi. My name is Sherrod and I'm a huge Morrissey fan. I have been since 1992. I love him and everything he does. As you may or may not know, he has a new album being released May 29. His birthday is May 22. In celebration of my beloved's new album and birthday, he will be appearing on the Late Show with Craig Kilborn for an entire week. Craig Kilborn is a huge Mozhead, and is having him as the guest for a WHOLE WEEK. An entire week of Big Steve goodness beginning May 24th. Morrissey > *

I am so excited about getting back into a real metro style city again. I am just not a small town girl. Everyone I've talked to about Las Vegas geography has said "with traffic." I miss "with traffic." I know it sounds sick, but Reno is just too easy to deal with. I like traffic. I like people everywhere. I like being slightly concerned about getting to the airport on time.

I've been checking out apartments online and I called one of them with questions. The woman on the phone told me there was a huge mall right across the street. Ahem. Sold.

Also, I'm really into Hoover Dam.

I am moving to Las Vegas. I will leave sometime before April 10. If you want to come visit Reno, make sure to tell me now. Otherwise, it's byebye northern Nevada - hello southern Nevada. HA! Screw you, there's no state income tax.

New favourite pastime: watching Theo and Darren Reed go at it on the misc@openbsd list. And today's quote comes from Theo.

QOTD: "i am unfriendly towards darren reed because i think he is a poor sample of humanity"

They both really need hugs.

I went out to the Blue Lamp tonight. DJ tigerbunny rocks me. I danced a lot and got sweaty. Met some cool people. Saw some things I'd really rather not have seen and now I'm home. I have to get up early tomorrow to save the world. If I don't do it - no one will.

If you know the enemy and know yourself,
you need not fear the result of a hundred battles.
If you know yourself, but not the enemy,
for every victory gained, you will suffer a defeat.
If you know neither the enemy nor yourself,
you will succumb in every battle.

I know art, right? I think I actually know war more intimately.

<sisko> pissing freebsd advocates off is cool sometimes
<sisko> him: "I can change my mac address with ifconfig. Freebsd rocks that way."
<sisko> me: "Yeah, Solaris has been able to do that for years."
<sisko> him: "No doubt."
<Sherrod> linux and win can do it too
<Sherrod> it's not special
<Sherrod> openbsd is the only major os that needs a fucking kernel patch to be able to do it by default
<Sherrod> but WHATEVER THEO IS GOD
<Sherrod> k
<Sherrod> thx

If you want my attention, I suggest you shine like a star.

Oh, one more thing. A few years ago when I saw Rules of Attraction, my perceptions changed a lot. That's difficult for a film to do. It really effected me. So, I wrote a secret admirer love letter to someone I had a crush on. I worked quite hard on it, and put it on my favourite Stephen Mackey stationary. I told some friends about it and they strongly suggested not sending it. That same week I moved to Nevada. It's now a year later. The other day I was going through some things that were still packed from my move, and I found it. All sealed up, complete with stamp. I'm sending it today.

I was clearly wacked out last night when I posted some of that stuff. Yesterday was a horrible day. Nothing of note happened - which is exactly what made it terrible. I'd rather have catastrophe than medocrity. I hate that. Sundays are stupid, and my apartment is mind numbingly clean.
Monday 08.03.2004 12:35 PM

I think you're pretty. You give me an inferiority complex so I try not to interact with you. You're clearly better than I and you're a boy. If I were a lesser human, I'd destroy you.

DJAvian: pinup? you have a sick sense of the sexual. (and you can quote me on that)
Sunday 07.03.2004 11:21 PM

Is there something that makes you sick just to think about? Like a past relationship or person or situation that didn't end as you'd have liked it to? What triggers that feeling? Looking at old pictures, eating certain foods, reading things on the web? Right.

No one will ever wholly have me. Strangely, the people who realize this the least are the people I'm closest to. I enjoy sociology. I like introducing stimuli and seeing how they're received. I'm changeable. Much of my success in life and relationships has come from my ability to step up, construct something and perfectly fill some void. This has made many of my relationships seem false to me, but deeply meaningful and connected to the other person involved.

This is not to say that I don't love the people in my life - I absolutely do. I just feel like I've learned to admire them from afar. I've found that I am most attracted to people who are like me. This may sound natural and healthy, but in fact it's proven incredibly destructive. I tend to become involved with people who are very much like me, and that just puts two very dangerous and powerful people together, often in a veiled adversarial relationship.

I'm having a hard time sleeping. I keep playing with this website. It's so awesome. Infotainment at it's best. Butch is such a musical genius, I don't know what I'd do without his influence.
Sunday 07.03.2004 4:02 AM

My fingers glide over this keyboard with a graceful fury. I'm thinking about things I shouldn't be.

M is concerned, I can tell. He's concerned in the same way I am. If one has a skill naturally, aiding it with study and practice can push those natural abilities into something quite phenomenal. But then is it unnatural?

Some things don't come to me without effort. However, I know that applying my knowledge and power will allow me to reap the result that I desire. How much greater is the reward if I don't have to calculate at all? How much better is it if something just happens? As opposed to being artfully coerced into reality?

We agree there is no altruism. If that's so and all actions are selfish - which they are - then the question becomes... to what degree of maliciousness or benevolence are those actions? Who do they benefit? And am I really an evil bitch?

The answer of course is no. I'm not an evil bitch. I'm an angel sent from heaven, made of sugar with the single purpose of providing pleasure. But the definition of pleasure is subjective and varies wildly depending upon who's pleasure we're talking about.

Sleep tight.
