Some of you have heard this and I’m sorry for the repetition, but I just need to get this out.
Today’s rant is centered on my best friend. She’s a great girl, I’ve known her forever, but recently she has not been the brightest crayon in our little box. (No offense, love)
Now, we go to an all-girls private school (yeah, yeah, snicker all you want… Ok, stop now… <sigh>) ANYway, we have this brother school, Kiski, way out in the boonies, and they’re an all-guys prep school. Our Student Council prez decided to set up a “Kiski E-mail Buddy” program.
“Great!” we all thought. “A way to meet guys and get dates!” (Yes, most of us are single and hunting… er… looking…) 'Cepst me. I didn’t say that… I have a guy… A really nice and sweet and very attractive guy (you can pay me later, sugar)… Yeah.
SO, we got the names of our e-mail buddies. Then, we’re told that their e-mail addresses were their names. First.last@kiski.org
Well, this friend of mine typed up her e-mail, addressed it “first.last@kiski.org” and sent it on it’s way.
She was surprised to learn that OTHER people’s e-mail buddies ALSO had the addy first.last@kiski.org. She didn’t put the kid’s name in the addy, just first and last. <sigh>
I had to take her aside and explain this to her.
This ALMOST ranks as high as another classmate of mine standing up in the middle of history class and singing “Little Bunny Foo-Foo” complete with hand motions…
Almost.
