I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Nice!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I get a ton of emails for other people who give my address to vendors -- most recently, Jordan H. ordered some commemorative coins.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

My email address is firstnamelastname@gmail.com. I use firstname.lastname, but this is two people who've signed up to FB without the period, and two firstnamelastnameXX@gmail.com that have used me as the alternate email address. Props to google for not letting me into the email addies anymore--they did let me in a year or two ago, into itaitaita, when the Filipino hacker (kid, I hope) was using it for something.

I bet this shit never happens to Moji.

Because books.

I get email to my firstnamelastname without the period between, and it's clearly for some chick in Chicago. Which I really don't get. Does that mean she gets some of mine?

I hope she likes fanfic.

Maybe *one* of you is related to...that Jamaican whose name I won't mention because it's personally identifiable Amy information.

The way gmail goes, the period doesn't count. Ronald.McDonald@gmail.com is the same as r.on.ald.mc.dona.ld@gmail.com. So she might be using amyayourlastname@gmail.com or something one letter off. Whereas you are amyyourlastname@gmail.com.

In gmail, I think the dot doesn't mean anything? Like, firstnamelastname is the same address as firstname.lastname?

Yeah, what she said.

How does that make sense?!

It's helpful, though. Also, and I hope I'm getting it straight, '+stuff' doesn't count either. So ita+amazon@gmail.com can be my Amazon email address (if Amazon accepts email addresses of that format, and if I shopped at Amazon...) but all the mail goes to ita@gmail.com, and I can tell where it's from (and who shared it to whom) by virtue of what it is. So if you give out am.y personally and a.my professionally, you can tell when someone's blurring the lines. Or, more complex, any facebook password resets that don't come to amy+facebook@gmail.com? Automatically spam attempts, plz ignore.

I'm suddenly nostalgic for my AOL address.
