You know how sometimes you send a personal email, and then a second later your little GMail notifier goes off and you think maybe you got a personal response, but instead it's like, American Express offering to give you "double points?" That's kind of depressing.

aint that the truth. i dont care about my frequent flyer miles
Last year, my parents forgot my birthday. When I finally got a phone call... and it turned out it was from a credit card company to which I owed lots of money... man, that was a sucky day.
Totally sucky :(
I remembered it was your birthday! Because it was right near mine and you were in town!
Next year maybe we'll be birthday pals and get drunk together (if I can get it together to leave the house.)
If you think your credit rating is depressing, I will trade you credit ratings.
@Adam: Okay. I will show up at your house with some birthday PBR next year.

I think this is why, increasingly, only old people use email.
