How has GJ changed according to Gmail?
Ok, this is self indulgent, but my birthday is Monday and its time to reflect. Here are some gmail quotes (typos and all) from me aged 22 to 23. Also looking through my emails I have a lot email subjects that are like, “do we have a disease?” “Are we gonna die?” and “what happened last night? Shhheeesh, what kind of person am I anyway….(I’m bored at work)
9/24/2004 – My Job in London is Boring and I have to pay my electricity with coins
“i think i am going crazy b/c i just googled " beaded bird necklaces"
for over an hour..holy shit i am effing crazy....i cant even afford a
necklace...and i dont know why i want a beaded bird necklace but i
found a beauty hummingbird one but too bad its 300 dollars...oh man
next you know it ill be googling the lyrics to "you’ve lost that loving
feeling" all day..oh right i already did that”
“dont know whose turn it was to put money in but the shower died
on me with conditioner in my hair. our freezer is currently melted.”
10/18/2004 – I hate London – writing to my home friends
“oh shit please do include me in these emails.. i promise i wont get sad!
i just will get happier to remember how many awesome/funny friends i
have for when i home!! and less sad to leave europe..though i am
getting sick of these bloody blokes harassing me on the streets just
cause i be so damn fine.”
11/3/2004 – Almost back in NY
“all i know i this i just found out some polish mother fuckers stole
both of my suitcases which had numerous GJ and JFK tags all
over them (aka stolen, not taken by mistake) from the basement of our
house, and my poor iranian refugee handyman stayed up all night
helping my try and find the stupid things. And Bush is president and
my period is going to come today right before i leave for budapest at
4 am and still tired because i was watching the stupid inconclusive
results of the mathematical puzzle that is the electoral college which
some foolish bloke was narratting with some fuckin computer graphic
with pop up red and blue states map telling french newcasters that
they were a bunch od "cheese-eating monkeys".
3/14/06 – Email from Ars-still living at home
“I know that you and queenie have a close humping relationship but
sometimes i get the feeling that you perfer to hang out with your dog
rather than me...”
4/1/2005- We get an apartment with a backyard
“can we make our backyard german for xmas?
we can put up a tarp and put on a couple of space heaters..and get a
tannenbaum..then drink hot chocolate with boos in it!!!”
4/21/05 – my new job
“I am going to Estee Lauder's apartment to see if there are biological
contaminants. Isn't that very weird/funny? Sometimes its not so
luxurious though. i.e. the other day I had to go to apartment of a fat
man (like too large to leave the apartment cause the doorway is too
small) to help determine where the odors (which were foul as hell)
were coming from. It was totally disgusting/weird and the should of
called the department of health, not me.”
5/20/2005 – Just a rant
"Just think, a couple of million years ago ago homo
afarensis was hunched over its slab of wood trying to make a fire
after doing it doggie style in its not so cozy bedrock house. And
instead of rent and a broker's fee, they just had to sling-shot rocks
at the local neanderthals to keep their cave safe as their own. And
100 years ago 8-children families from poland were stuffed in these
now very expenise apartments making boiled potatoes and ironing their
bloomers”
6/21/05 Email from TG – I love summer
“today is the first day of summer and the longest day of the year. i think we
should celebrate. bbq? drinks? dinner? it will be light so late!!”
9/20/05 – Possible GJ?
“hmm i think we are going to start a book club. in addition what about a blog (though they are lame)”
10/17/05 – My First Sparks
“ugh. I feel like like I have been decapitated, and someone used my head as a bowling ball, and then someone sew it back on my neck. I also feel slighty paranoid that I acted like a complete crack head on saturday and thus did regretable things. But I guess I ddint act out any violence, all i did was dance weird, so i am in the clear. Im so cracked out that I thought I was seeing neon yellow flashes of light in the mirror. When I got to work I realized what I thought I saw was actually a Highlighter stain all over the front of my white sweater!”
1/11/06 – Gee-Jay is Born“by the way:
i started a blog
http://gee-jay.blogspot.com/
gj means girl job”
2/13/2006 – Ew
“we totally need better shirts for LNP”
3/15/05 – I typed searched for “sparks” in my gmail account and over 100 results came up
“had too many sparks and as at the point where its arms feel like monkey arms”
4/4/06 – I’m almost 24 – my birthday party
"Bring anyone and everyone. Get shit-faced with me, GJ, or at least
stop by to give my ass a good smacking."
In summary - I went from angry American in London to NY sparks drinking scenester..HMMM- I kinda suck.
