Vickie Worries Too Much, Study Says
posted on Sunday, May 7, 2006 @ 5:57 pm
It all started with noticing my friend’s new Gmail account — the cute little period inside his username. What do you mean? Of course everybody loves the period, because if you missed one… Anyway, I stared at the little dot for a bit; hey, that’s neat, and decided that I should create another Gmail account with one. For no other use, for no other reason.
I went ahead and sent myself a Gmail invite. I’ve always used vickiediablos as my moniker. Desired Login Name: “vickie.diablos” Beautiful. Check availability.
vickie.diablos is not available…
The hell? As far as I know, I’m the only Vickie Diablos on the ‘net. As far as I know, I’m not popular. As far as I know, nobody hates me that much. But why, how, what, where, when… vickie.diablos couldn’t have been taken. The person who took it must be up to something. Impersonation… Oh, the damage they could do.
I was about to panic, about to explode, about to warn every person I knew online and offline that vickie.diablos was not me. But Ms Sense came knocking on the door. Thankfully.
“Oh puh-lease, Vickie,” said she.
In the end, I discovered that it was actually Gmail being thoughful not to allow people to register accounts with the same username regardless of the number of periods between the alphabets. I almost made a bigger fool of myself trying to save my non-existent reputation.
If only Ms Sense would marry me… Will you marry me? Aww, come on. Don’t be mean.
