More excitement!!!
On a whim, I decided to retire an e-mail address I've had since I was a freshman in college (Fall 1994). In the almost 9 years since then (holy crap!), it's become inundated with spam. We're talking about hundreds of spam messages per week, and I don't have the time or the inclination to see which ones are legit - as in ones that I've supposedly subscribed to over the years - and unsubscribe, so I'm deleting upwards of 750 messages per week after carefully scanning the list to see if any of them happen to be from friends, rather than someone wanting me to view photos of singles in my area or enlarge my penis.

I really wish some one would have told me a long tme ago that I had a penis. I might have taken better care of it.

So, I got myself a handy-dandy new address, complete with updated name (the old one was my first initial and my last name, meanwhile I've been "an honest woman" with a different name for 9 months now - I haven't disabled the old address, I just won't be checking it much). I checked the old address book and got quite a few blasts from the past, including some people who I can't remember how I met them or why they were in my address book. I e-mailed some of the people about the address change and had a response back within 10 minutes! And from a person whom I remember exactly how I met her and why she was in my address book! Whom I haven't spoken to in a couple of years! And she said she'd been thinking of me recently and thinking of trying to find me! :)

When I met her, she was the girlfriend of a guy I met through a girl I sang with in college. Now she's his ex-GF (and probably all the better for it, too, if things are still the same as they were the last time we spoke). Wait, let me rephrase that. She was his girlfriend when I met her, and she was his ex-girlfriend as of the last time I spoke with her, which is a good thing for her b/c that turned into a nasty situation. There. Much better explanation. Carry on. She's uber-cool, a great person, and kept an online journal before blogging was all the rage. I'm SO looking forward to getting caught up! (And if you're reading, you know who you are - hello!)

Yay!!
