G ME

Wow, for what I thought was going to be a slow boring day, it has turned out to be quite busy and I have done something I haven’t done in years.

Something amazing. Something different. Something…sexy and nerdy.

I got myself a gmail account.

I’m so confused.

First of all, this “conversation” thread thing has me totally confused. I know I’ll get used to it and will probably love it, but for now? I think it’s dumb.

But I’m going to do it, I’m going to figure it out, it just seems like there’s so much writing on the page. And I’m not sure how to deal with it.

Now with the changing of an email, which is way way more complicated than changing an actual physical address, comes the massive amounts of emails saying hello after you’ve told everyone that you’ve changed your address. This is why I picked this particular project today, Friday, August 5th, 2005.

Precisely because I felt like doing no work today, not knowing the amazing amount of work it takes to change one’s email address.

And as it dawns on me, the implication of the big step I have taken, I realize I might cry a little bit, when I think of everything I sign into that has my email on it. The netflix, the amazon, the new york times. Must I change this email on each one of these things I constantly sign into? Must my whole identity change with the acquisition of said gmail?

Anyways, this weekend is shaping up to be a good one, with drinks with friends tonight, to Millennium Park tomorrow night and a river cruise on Sunday. The weather is supposed to be lovely and I have a sweet, sexy man to spend it with.

Boy will John be mad when he finds out!

I’m hilarious.
