Forwards are not real emails!

I bumped into an old friend on the bus the other day and she looked a little upset with me. I asked her what was up and she said that I never respond to her e-mails. I kinda knew that she would be a little upset considering that she sent me at least 10 for the year that I haven’t responded to. But she only sends me forwards!!! I told her that I tend not to respond to forwards since they aren’t “real” e-mails.

I went on to tell her that I wanted to know what was going on in her life. I did not care to get funny cartoons that she e-mailed me and the rest of people on her looong contact list.

I know that I sound a little insensitive, especially since I’ve known the girl since elementary school, but I hate forwards. I only seem to get corny jokes, chain letters or inspirational e-mails from my friend and I was hoping to get updates on her life.

After my tirade on why I hate forwards, I decided to send and e-mail to my friend, and I hope and pray that she responds without a forward.

Until my next entry….

peace and love,
