First off; thanks to BLACK.blood for the interesting book suggestion [Identical by Ellen Hopkins], I'm going to reserve it from the library right now!
Oh and she also brought up the color of my blog. I admit that I changed the scheme because I just wanted a change and this was just a simple, easy one. However, if anyone has any suggestions as to what hue would be the most enjoyable for the eyes, feel free to say so!
Well today I was checking my email (ugh, so prehistoric, right?) and I realized the sad, sad truth. I have 11, 803 messages in my inbox, but about 2% of them are from actual people.
What does this mean?
It means something along the lines of 98% of advertisements, Urban Dictionary Word of the Days, UN Wire updates, Anthropologie/Urban Outfitters ads, Greenpeace newsletters, and waywayway too many Facebook notifications.
Pathetic, right?
So I decided today to create an all new email address in which I would still get some of the above messages, but also incorporate some human contact.
My new one is swedishfishnovels@gmail.com
Feel free to send me a message! However, I do delete emails if I do not recognize the name of the sender so don't forget to put something about blogging in the subject line.

I like the new white look and that was the idea of my change in display picture on New Year's Day. I get a lot of e-mails too, but a lot of mine now are from comment and follow-up comment notifications. I think I've quit Facebook.
My e-mails have changed three times in the last four years.
commiting.my.suicide@gmail.com
hes.only.lonely@gmail.com
scylla.michael.charybdis@gmail.com
It looks like it's getting better, don't you think? I like my scylla.michael.charybdis one now. (Do you know your Greek mythology? Check out Wikipedia, if not.)
Michael.
Hmm, yes; your new one is definitely more positive sounding. (At least a little bit.)
And I totally understand your email address! Very ingenious; something about being in between two very difficult situations?
I've been interested in Greek/Roman mythology all my life and I'm also taking Latin so that helps out.
Lucky you. I want to take Greek/Hebrew/Latin classes in my university years. I can then explore my total book-nerdy side.
You're not actually having fried spam are you? I love it and haven't had it for a long time.
Michael.
I've always been interested in Sanskrit and maybe even some French.
Naw, the "spam" sort of had to do with all the sludge in my inbox. But I do agree, Spam is an underrated delicacy.
