In which Other Me’s around the world :
- apply for positions that are probably above them in Indiana
- get pretty with Bath & Body Works adverts, as well as Mary Kay news from Annie in Morro Bay, California
- get more ads from Pizza Express in England
- request quotes for business insurance from Donovan in Toronto and house painting from Judy at Kitsap Paintsmith in Washington (who seem very reasonably priced, but from whom I learn the SeaTac-area Other Me’s actual last name as well as her address and that she has a house with a deck, carport and white fence. The internet is a scary thing, people.)
- deal with the hacking of Alison’s Gmail in England
- get Blackberry Messenger add requests from Alyssa in South Carolina
- receive forwards from Autumn, whose email is “husky lover”, implying either that she’s into fluffy dogs, or that’s she’s chubby but affectionate – I didn’t want to spoil it by asking
- learn about the new site of Macmillan Cancer Support in England
- have a lesson rescheduled by Franck in France, whose very name cracks me up, thanks to Father of the Bride… but a lesson in what??
- learn that Kelly’s friend Shanna isn’t good at giving out information
- get back in touch with Matt in Atlanta (well, he tries, anyway)
- get wedding photographs from Lisa from what appears to have been an interestingly themed turquoise-and-black wedding
As always, a selection follows:

Subject: Hi from my yahoo account
Hello there
Just to let you know – bloody google have suspended my gmail account due to “suspicious activity” which might mean my account was hacked here. So if you’ve emailed me thats why I won’t have replied.
No way of finding out what is going on and I’ve filled in the form to request the account to be reactivated but have heard nothing. It’s been 3 days now and I am furous about it, there is no way to contact google other than that form so I have no idea when or even if I will get my account back. It’s got all my email addresses, and passwords etc.
Can you send me your bt email so that I can add it to my yahoo contacts.
Hope all is well with you. I’m flying back home tomorrow, thank goodness – had enough now!
Axx

Subject: What up?
Hope you are doing well. I never log on to Facebook but I happned to for the first time in about 3 months and now we are friends, oh my gah, I’m so excited! In all seriousness, I haven’t been able to spend much time in Atlanta recently because I’ve been traveling so much but my girlfriend is moving to Atlanta and I’m going to be around alot more. We should hang out sometime, I think you would get along well with Heather. At any rate, give me a shout some time. Talk to you later.
Matt

Good luck with that McDonald’s position!
These are too funny.
I love this post category: the collection is so beautifully random and pleasing. The bride and groom look really happy – not sure about the Michael Jackson style glove though!
