Diaryland is calling.....
Huh. I wonder.....
04/11/2002 - 11:31 a.m.
Many moons ago, before white man came to this land, I signed up with this thing called Bigfoot, which claimed it was going to give you an email address for life. The idea being, that you could always give people this email address, and what ever email address you were using, this Bigfoot service would forward it there, as long as you kept the forward link updated.
Great idea, right? Yeah, except I totally forgot about it right after I signed up for it. Every once in a while, I'd get an email from them, telling me they'd changed their privacy policy, or some such, but I never actually used the thing. Not even once. A while back, I got another email from the thing, saying I had to update my profile and agree to receive spam from them in order for them to continue forwarding my mail.
As I had never used the service, and I like receiving spam about as much as I liked having muscle biopsies in my thighs (imagine something like a Bic pen having its entire length driven into the meat of your thigh - ow-EEEE!), I did nothing, and assumed they'd killed off my account.
Guess not, cuz today, I got this in the mail:
Dear Friend! The following is a private e-mail message that was generated by Bigfoot. The sender of this message found your name in the Bigfoot Directory and has chosen to send you a "screened message". Per your request, Bigfoot has kept your e-mail address anonymous but has allowed this message to be sent through to you.And here's the text of the email:
Red, is that you! Please let me know!That's the entire text. Not a hint as to who it's from.
The funny thing is, it's the kind of thing I might write. Like once when I was checking to see if I had the correct email address, I sent the following message:
Dear Friend-of-Red:Ha! I kill me!
Did you get this message? Let me know if you did or didn't.
Yer pal,
Red
So I have this mystery message, from someone who might or might not be looking for me. Although the return address does look like someone I know. So I'm gonna respond with this:
Well, yes, it certainly is. But I am not sure if it's the Red you want, because I'm not sure who you are. Though the email address does give me an idea. Is that you?Ha! I kill me again!
Trouble is, if it's who I think it is, I'm not sure I want to re-establish communication. We've had a long and troubled history, and we each have hurt the other quite substantially over the years. I am just not sure I want to start that cycle all over again. Then again, I'm not sure I don't. Tangly wangly relationship messes. Yum yum gimme some.
Update:
Welp, it's who I thought it was. Her entire response:
Red, It's [Come-Up-With-Good-Pseudonym]!Which is even weirder. Cuz, she went through all sortsa trouble to find me, and now she's saying basically nothing. Then again, when last we communicated, I kinda dropped off the face of the earth, so she's probably being careful and not putting too much out there until she sees what she gets back from me. Wise move.
