i got my gmail account before google introduced it to the public. my friend works there and gave me the beta version to test out. it was great cuz i have a very popular name and it's always taken. so for the first time i got an email address with just my name, without a number attached, or a bunch of initials with a combination of numbers. but now i keep getting emails to me that aren't for me!!! this is very irritating. i'm thinking of going back to my name with a serious of numbers and/or letters. eh, what do i care, i primarily use my yahoo email (which sometimes does weird things on me too).

one more week to go! :)
