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.
You know, I've saved lives. Dozens. Maybe hundreds. I reattached a girl's leg. Her whole leg. She named her hamster after me. I got a hamster. He drops a box of money, he gets a town.

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

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
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.

Or the days in which you could give those out to adults without people looking at you funny.

You don't even have one anymore and I'm still looking at you funny. So much for that!
