Here's My Email

Those words above always make me nervous when someone in a class say them.  You know, you're working on an assignment or project and need to be in contact with everyone.  There are two types of bad email addresses that could follow this statement.  First, their school ID address.  Who uses those?  I have checked my Umail maybe three times each semester of college.  Maybe I am just a lousy student but I probably won't check it till spring break.  At that point it usually is pointless mail anyway.  So when someone gives me their email address and it corresponds with the university I'm a little confused as to how they have an outside life from school.  Maybe they don't.  Or maybe they are too embarrassed by their alternative one which brings me to the second type of bad email addresses.  The ones that are too personalized, too personalized since the 8th grade.  I'll use mine for example: soccerqween8@hotmail.com.  I realize that qween is spelled wrong but with queen spelled right the address was unavailable so I had to be soccerQWEEN8.  Of course it was at hotmail.com because my address had to be compatible with MSN Instant Messenger.  @msn.com was too hard to figure out and I never understood the kids who had email addresses @aol.com because that seemed so adult like. Just the other day my friend borrowed my computer to check her facebook.  She typed "prettykitti@yahoo.com" and I could not stop laughing.  We're 21 here, but I love her--and it's just Facebook, she does have a professional one too.  I will be that any girl reading this blog had an email address consisting of one of these four words:  surfer, dancer, queen, gurl.


Don't lie and say you didn't.
