Internet for Dummies, Wednesday 10/25, 3rd Period

"Did everyone have a great weekend?" Abby asked cheerfully from where she perched on a desk. "It was nice to talk to all of your parents or guardians or odd Canadian pseudo-police personnel. If I screwed up in anyway and you need me to write a letter telling them I was drunk or something, let me know."

"Today we start our section on interpersonal communication, or in other words how to meet people, stay safe and get busy online." Abby grinned. "The first step is to create an email address and learn how to use it. I know that most of you already have an address, but for the purposes of today's assignment I want you to create a new one. You'll be using this email in the next few weeks, so make sure it's something you can live with."

Abby gave a brief lecture on the history of email and how to open an account. "Okay, get to it, open an account and send an email to at least one other person in the class."

I really feel like I should be writing something clever here or using lyrics.

Create your email address

[cheerfulgoth.livejournal.com]

Sadly, I'm too lazy to look up any lyrics this morning.

Re: Create your email address

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

everthesame@gmail.com? Surprisingly not taken. Jamie grabs it and waits for the inevitable SPAM messages to find it.

[chasingangela]

Angela might still be a wee bit influenced by the weekend when she picks outoftime@gmail.com.

It works as an R.E.M. reference, too.

Kawalsky made a new email address.

likeasomeonebroken@gmail.com

Re: Create your email address

[forgottenpants]

Pete goes with bravelikesoldier@gmail.com.

He's not sure why, he just does.

Evie's rrrkeyologeegrrll address is really pretty long, and has too many repeated letters in it anyway, so she's happy to come up with a new one. eveofyesterday@gmail.com sounds rather well, though.

[And Door e-mails her from notawindowthanks@gmail.com]

Buffy goes through every variation of cheergirl she can think of, before giving up and going with warmthofthesun@gmail.com. She wants a coat, and she wants it now. Brr.

Re: Create your email address

[notajar]

Door kind of likes her openallhours eBay name, but after thinking for a bit, she comes up with notawindowthanks@gmail.com.

Ray created sleepallday@gmail.com.

Re: Create your email address

[greenmagebriar.livejournal.com]

Briar was glad to see that causeoftrouble@gmail.com was not taken.

Re: Create your email address

[dude-its-jude.livejournal.com]

fallingdown@gmail.com was surprisingly accurate for Jude especially considering what I'm about to do to him. There we go.

Email each other

[cheerfulgoth.livejournal.com]

So you're stuck with what I can remember off the top of my head.

Re: Email each other

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

Jamie e-mails his friends back home:

"Hi All!

This is my new e-mail address.

Guido? I want my Space Battles drinking glasses connections you dirty thief!

Love,

Me"

Re: Email each other

[chasingangela]

Angela decides to email everyone in class

From: outoftime@gmail.com
To: Internet Class;
Subject: Hi - testing

Is this thing working? Write back if it is
- Angela

Re: Email each other

[kawalsky.livejournal.com]

Kawalsky emailed back.

From: likeasomeonebroken@gmail.com
To: outoftime@gmail.com


Nope. Not working at all.

Re: Email each other

[notajar]

Door sends a message to eveofyesterday@gmail.com.

This is a lot more convenient than the way we usually send messages at home; it's too bad it wouldn't work in London Below, or I could send letters home instantly without having to worry about whether the pigeon will get intercepted. Or just shot and eaten.

Ray tried to email Molly.

Hey Molly,

Jude schlepped up to Abby after class. "Uh, thanks for handlin' Ron on the weekend, br - ma'am. It really helped."

OOC

E-I-E-I-O!

Re: OOC

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

Me last night trying to get my daughter to sleep:

"And on this farm he had an emu
EIEIO
And I have no idea what an emu sounds like
EIEIO"

Baby: *does not care*
