Oh hi! I suppose you’re looking for Whall but he’s off on a vacation, leaving his blog in the hands of a few certain elite bloggers.  Somehow I managed to sneak into the lineup.  For those of you who don’t know who I am (shame on you!) I am the notorious Sheila from Charm School Reject.

If you were brave enough to visit my blog, you’d be bombarded with a lot of pink and grey, skulls and words that I invent to make myself sound smarter and funnier than I actually am.

I’m pretty much the epitome of “so much cooler online”.

Self-deprecating humor, Whatchamacallits, Dr. Pepper and nicotine are the only things I pack in my survival kit.

But enough about me….let’s get on with the show and talk about the man that you all came here to visit.

**********

When you mention the word “whall” most people think of those flat things in a house that you hang pictures on.

Unless the person you are speaking to is a supercool blogger (i.e. knows Whall), you have to correct them and say “His name is Whall – it has an ‘h’ in it.”

Then you are required to delve into an epic-worthy monologue, heaping accolades upon the character of the man that is Whall. No seriously, you are.  If you didn’t know this, well, you really should learn to read the fine print.

So, without further ado…..::ahem::….What Whall Means to Me : An  Accolade of Epic Proportions.

Whall is the very first Republican Blogger I ever had the pleasure of knowing. In fact, I’ve only met two others – we are a rare and dying breed my friends.

When I first stumbled onto his blog, I was in complete and total awe of him.  The intelligence, wit and humor that he brings to the table while talking politics is astounding.   He takes the time to explain his position and is able to back it up with facts.  He doesn’t pepper his political talks with a bunch of extraneous information, just to make him sound better or smarter.   I, however, am not above doing that.  Please note my completely unnecessary use of the word “extraneous”.

I suppose, looking back on it, I was mainly in awe of the fact that he was so vocal about his political standings, especially in the midst of the two year campaigning for President Obama, amongst a vast amount of Democrats.

Whall is a man who has wore [has worn?] many hats throughout the course of our friendship.  Not only is he my political co-hort, he explained twitter to me and helped me figure out it’s [caution : big word alert] idiosyncrasies**, he set up my practice blog when I was debating movin’ on up to the East Side [also known as "Wordpress"], he offered tech support post-move, offered loads of help fixing my theme when I broke my blog shortly after my move to the deluxe apartment in the sky-y and provides comic relief throughout my day.

He is classy and cool and completely inoffensive – basically, he is everything that I am not.

Of course, politic diatribes [see? another word that no one uses], DITL’s, utterz, twitters, family talk and PG ratings* are all well and good but nothing really sets my heart to pitter patter like a good ol’ best of LOLcats posting.

So, you can imagine the heartbreak I felt when I took a Facebook quiz – which are known for their insane accuracy – to help me determine which LOLcat I was and saw this….

Oh the horror of horrors!

According to Facebook, not only am I bipolar, I’m also not an LOLcat!

Now, if you will excuse me, I must go contemplate my future – I really thought I had it in the bag with that whole LOLcat career.

*I was worried that Whall was breaking his own rules  and trying to ruin his reputation when I saw the title to this post and this post.

**If you have known me for more than ten seconds you already know that there is a wikipedia page dedicated to me under the heading of TechnoRetarded so the fact that I had trouble figuring out Twitter shouldn’t really surprise you.
