So for those of you angry at Twitter for replacing my numerous, lengthy, rambling trivial, asinine Trolleywood blogs....This one's for you (you little brats).

Life has been savory lately. Like a frigging cupcake fest. Like a giant sushi roll. Like a mountain of Chic-fil-a. Like an endless supply of honey mustard or ketchup (the best condiments ever invented). Free of all gut-splitting, teeth crunching, acidic, mind-slaying, lilly-livered, nasty-tasting vomit cakes...I don't know what those are but they're probably sick.

So, apart from a fairly chronic bout of insomnia that's been being battled on my part (due to my overly-active, artistic, right-sided brain that never wants to shut off and let me sleep like a normal human (you've all seen the Tweets appearing at 5 and 6am, you know what I'm talking about!)), things are perfect....like a juicy steak (I'm hungry right now, ok?).

Hard time sleeping...Join the club right? How bad does it suck?? Lawd hev merssy!

We all hit a stride where we forget how to sleep at some point in our lives...especially with WHACKADOO sleep schedules like ours. But I'll get past this ludicrous lapse of lethargy and re-learn to sleep like a baby once more.

*Zzzzzzzzzz* <----- You guys.

I've been reading a graphic novel series called Fables. I'm on book 8 right now. It's SO good! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fables_(Vertigo)
James Jean's cover art is a top 10 inspirer for me...If you're into art but don't want to read the whole series you HAVE to get this book of all the cover art he did for the books http://www.jamesjean.com/books/fablescovers1.htm
It's really amazing.

Ok, Ok, on to bandy stuff. The scheduling for this record is another thing that's been whackadoo, but it IS on it's way to being finished. Apart from the scheduling of things it has been going absolutely amazing and I couldn't be more happy or proud of what we've done. I'm not being a narcissistic ass, It's just really $#*@$# good! jk. But I do love it... and if an artist can't love what they do then that means they have no passion and if they have no passion then that means they are wasting their and everyone else's time and if I'm wasting your time then stone me.

*Stones thrown* <----- You guys.

Ok, you win, I'm going to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

Love always,
Sherri

ps. happy birthday to lil bro Collin (15 today:)

Your favorite Eisley sister finally got a twitter...Stacy DuPree ladies and gentlemen! http://twitter.com/StacyLDupree
The internet recluse has emerged.

Sherri: Twitterpated

Yes...I'm not above falling prey to the trends of the internet world.
My husband flew back to LA today and what is a girl to do but entertain
herself by starting a Twitter page?

The Special K cereal I'm eating right now is bumming me out.

Hey Everyperson,
Thank you all SO much for coming to the show last night! We appreciate each of you traveling to see us...those of you who walked from your dorm and those who flew from other states.
We are so sorry for all the technical problems that marred a lot of the set...feedback, problems with those freaking tracks and the gear hiccups, (all on top of one rusty band);
Despite all of the setbacks we had such an amazing time and hope that you all had as much fun as we did!
It was exciting playing new songs (and don't worry you worrywarters, the new record will have a well-balanced mix of soft and harder rock songs...just because we have a couple of loud guitar parts doesn't mean we'll stop playing our trademark soft sissy Eisley music;). We love you guys to death and thoroughly enjoyed meeting some of you afterwards...It's been a long year since playing a show and it was stinking fun!
Love,
Sherri

Hi everyone.....

hi.

Sherri: 3.26.09 (edit 1).

It is apparent from mine and Garron's last posts that Eisley needs to be endorsed by some sort of sleep medication. Haha. I feel you Big Gar!

Also apparently, Garron and I are the only idiots in the band who blog, so either that means we are one of two things: 1. Completely pathetic or 2. Completely awesome. Let's go with the latter.

Ok, I am feeling "share'y", so If you are one of those people who hates it when people open up and share their personal lives online then please close this page and go stuff your face with something greasy that has at least 7000 calories .
%more%
I just want to say... that I love you guys/girls (aka you devoted and loyal fans of Eisley's music). I know people say not to get all intimate on the internet and share your personal life because it will come back to make you look like a fool, and in the past (the not too recent past) it has for me. I fell in love and married someone and shared it online only to have it end badly.

Yeah, yeah... Over a year ago I went through a terribly painful ordeal (which was, yes, the "D" word; (Divorce)...I am now a sad statistic) and a lot of it got splashed about the internet, "who, what, why, when??".

Who cares?? It sucked @$$!!

But all of you we're super amazing and supportive and your emails REALLY honestly did help me a lot through those months (besides the top two things, obviously being, God and my family)... BUT, my own personal hell, surprisingly enough (and most shockingly to me) didn't last as long as I thought it was going to.

Because out of the blue, I met someone. Someone amazing that changed my life completely. It didn't seem like the best time to meet somebody, obviously, (as my life as I knew it was crumbling around me), but hey, it happened. It definitely happened. (For those of you who've questioned, No, Max had nothing to do with the end of my first marriage. I'd never even met or talked to Max before I was informed the divorce was going to go down).

I think part of the reason I have been fairly open about my relationship with Max and the love and respect we share for each other is because, I have dated a short string of guys in bands...(Only two before Max, and one of them who I married; neither are secrets, it's all over the place, ok)... I didn't CHOOSE these dudes just because they played "rock" songs for a living; I dated them because they appeared in my life's path and even though they both were detrimental relationships, I regret neither as I loved them both (despite the ultimately doomed nature of the love).

Both of those relationships made me who I am now and also led me to where I am now... and that is - with the most perfect guy on the planet (for me)' who I am now marrying and whom I will stay married to for the rest of my life, through thick and thin, no matter what happens or what we go through, for better or for worse, FOREVER... (most people seem to forget that "or worse" part, oddly).

I open up to you guys about this because I don't want my past failed relationships to dictate how I share my joy in the fact that I'm getting married in 8 days... 8 days!! I'm so happy.

Just because the first marriage was a flop it doesn't mean I screwed up and it doesn't mean I'm going to be afraid to talk about my life with you guys from now on.

I've had jerks try and make me feel stupid for sharing my life with "our (Eisley's) public", but after sharing some of what I was going through in '07 I've been able to talk to other young people going through the same kinds of things and that's really nice to be able to do. Anytime you can help someone - even if it's in the tiniest measure... a barely significant amount - it's still significant.

Life shouldn't be about skulking around and keeping everything locked up.
I'm not saying go out and blog and blab about every time you kiss your boy/girlfriend or you take a dump but life should be shared between us human beings. Now some people take it too far and use the internet as their portal to spew their jealously and bitterness into the world while they hide behind their PC screen... it's sad how cruel people can be, but HOOC ("who cares") about them. They suck and will hopefully grow up.

Plus...(back to sharing your life), Max is going to be around for the rest of my life guys and since we're going to be man and wife, married, "One"... If you want me, you get him now too.

And to those of you who have had actually had the nerve to email me and ask me about the validity of Max's religious beliefs... Max has been through some of the darkest things of anyone I've ever met in my life and come out on the other side one of the most amazing, humble, brilliant men in creation. And yes he is a Christian; you can talk to him about it yourself and he wont hesitate to share his beliefs with you. And no, I didn't "convert" him. Though Max was raised Jewish, he came to Christianity on his own before we even begun talking.

So, why am i writing all this... maybe it's just the fact that I've got such a life-changing day in front of me and you guys are always telling me what a big part of your life Eisley has been and I guess I just want you to know that you guys are a big part of ours too and always will be.

But just so you know, on April 4'th... I won't be thinking about you guys.
I'll be too busy being the happiest I've ever been in my entire life because I'll be marrying my best friend.

Love,
Sherri Kay

Garron: boredness is a jerk at 2:45am

Fri, 20 Mar 2009 01:47:41 GMT

sssssssssssssssooooo, how's everyone doing? it's getting
late and i can't go to sleep.

all i've been able to think about is bbq. i had some pretty
nasty bbq earlier today and now i've been dreaming about
good bbq all day. so lame... there's not even
anyone to talk to at 2:45 in the morning. all reasonable
people have gone to sleep by now, and my girlfriend is out
of town. who even told her she was allowed to go out of
town and leave me bored at home? i mean... thats MY job.
i'm the one who leaves for months at a time. and she's at
DISNEY LAND of all places!
%more%
man disney land........ space mountain...... thats a happy
place right there. i love space mountain so much. it
completes me basically. everytime i go to disney land i
ride space mountain as many times as possible in a row.
weston and i always try to make the most horrendous
faces right at the end where the ride snaps that "surprise"
picture. its great... actually i think i have a crappy cell
phone picture of the picture of one of weston's faces from
back in 2006 cause it was awesome..... let me see if i can
find it.

yep, here it is:

and the best part about these faces is thinking that
somewhere in the world, some other family was on the
same ride having a great time, and then bought the
picture of our entire ride to remember the trip, and
knowning that they have our beautiful faces on that same
picture... its probably a big deal to them and are always
going to remember those guys with the horrible faces on
their disney land picture. okay... so maybe it wouldn't be
a big deal to anyone. but i like thinking that at least
someeee family out in the world laughed at the
picture.

so whatever.... man earlier today i drew this slash marks
on my chest with a red sharpie to look like i had been in
a vicious battle and got my chest slashed up. but now i
keep looking down at myself and for a split second thinking
"WHOA, what the heck happened to my chest?! i'm
bleeding!". then i remember i just sharpie'd myself.

alright... thats all. so i guess im going to try to go to bed
again. hope every one is doing weeell!

Sherri: go to sleep, GO TO SLEEP me, come on.

I should go to bed.

I stayed up for 48 hours because Max visited for the weekend and had to fly back to LA for a couple more weeks to finish their record before the wedding.

Since He had to leave so early, we decided to stay up and watch nice-safe movies 'til 8 am (Far&Away, Scoop, Music&Lyrics) while periodically downing canned Starbucks double shots to stay awake. I do NOT recommend this as it will make you ill.

As soon as it came time for him to have to go, He hugged my Mom, Bella (our pup) and myself (the only ones awake), climbed into the cab and was off (which btw, thank you hon, for calling a cab, you know i literally would of fallen asleep and crashed into something on the way back if i had to drive you to the Tyler airport in my state... %more% Then again If I could of managed to crash into a bed store, or a mattress store or something... It would of been fine; I could of just gone to sleep for a few hours; As long as no one noticed the random young woman passed out in a pink fuzzy bathrobe, or her car driven through the side of their store).

I feebly downed a bowl of grapenuts cereal in a sickly-headachy-queazy-AWFUL feeling daze and waited for him to call and tell me he'd made it to the airport before I passed out in a dead-sleep from 9am to 5pm.

So...since I woke up and started my day at 5pm, that would explain why I am still awake now 5:30 am and writing out pointless tales of my day. goodnight. goodmorning. goodNorning.

love,
sherri
