what does this say about me?

When you don't have much to do all day you get creative. Sometimes I like to go to old emails and see exactly what I was writing about a year ago today. Last year I exchanged emails with Maggie and she told me about a date she had with some girl who she is still "seeing" that I didn't really approve of then, but I do now, at least as much as it is possible for me to approve of Maggie dating anyone.

After taking a trip down memory lane I decided to play a little game. Gmail has this neat little feature that enables you to search for words. Very helpful when looking for old emails. Below is a listing of particular words and how frequently they were used in my correspondence. Please don't judge.

bored - 273

hate - 190

I'm going to kill myself - 50

this sucks - 130

What the fuck? -160

asshole - 44 (surprising low considering the people I am surrounded by all day)

Eagles - 266

I can't take it anymore - 55

I'm/they're/you're/he's/she's crazy - 367

It's/they're/he's/she's sooo annoying -130

job interview -155

happy hour - 70

i'm so excited - 120

oh my god! -170

There are plenty more slightly embarrassing catch phrases that have shockingly high appearance rates. Those - I will keep to myself.
