it's beautifully chilly out today. i hope those damn mosquitoes are dropping like... flies... ?

anyway, so someone asked me for my email address the other day, and when i gave it he scoffed. Scoffed. he asked if this was the email address i used on applications and at work. now obviously i have a separate work email, but yes, this was the email i used to apply for it. as a matter of fact, i made it specifically for applications and other grown-uppish things of that nature. for reassurance, i told my friend what happened, and she also scoffed. rejected again. apparently my email address is not grown up enough, but quite frankly in comparison to my other emails it's as good as it gets. i remember when i applied to colleges, i didn't bother changing my email address, and wrote in holyfriggencow@hotmail.com on every application. a few days after i got my acceptance letter to uc berkeley, someone from the admissions department called to confirm my contact info. he confirmed the spelling of my name, and then read my phone number and address out loud. when he got around to my email address, he paused for a long time. i couldn't save him the trouble and say it because i was trying not to laugh. finally he just started spelling it out: "h... o... l...". i was amused. since then i've had several different email addresses-- ileenios, stellar.iam, moosesrmeese, etc.-- but they all seem to elicit the same scoffs. well you know what? i think my emails are imaginative and i love them. and if you have a problem with that, say it to my face! you can reach me at terriblepterodactyl@dinomyte.com.


yea i wish.
