Things two
Sep. 6th, 2004 08:33 pm1. After writing Metropolis Confidential, I'm having a hard time referring to the Kents and Martha and Jonathan when speaking from Clark's POV. In Met. Con., it just seemed more natural for Clark to think of his parents as Mom and Dad, but in COTW, I've pretty much always written it as Martha and Jonathan. And, right now? Major issues.
Is this my subconsious telling me to write the next part of LLAR?
Thing Two (and not
nerodi's child)
Gmail (which I remain unconvinced about) wants me to invite people to join. It's asking me every time I check a message. So, six lucky people can have them, if a. you ask and b. I figure out how to send the invite.
Thing 3. (what?) I think that, sometimes, when I'm writing Helen, I'm actually picturing ... Sarah, the chick Matt married on 7th Heaven. I like her better, even though I dispise that show with the heat of a thousand suns.

Date: 2004-09-07 06:43 pm (UTC)This is the welcome letter they sent me:
First off, welcome. And thanks for agreeing to help us test Gmail. By now you probably know the key ways in which Gmail differs from traditional webmail services. Searching instead of filing. A free gigabyte of storage. Messages displayed in context as conversations.
So what else is new?
Gmail has many other special features that will become apparent as you use your account. To help you get started, we encourage you to visit our Help Center, there you can browse frequently asked questions, read our Getting Started guide, or contact the Gmail User Support Team. You'll also find information in the Help Center on such topics as:
* Importing your contacts from Yahoo! Mail, Outlook, and others to Gmail
* Using address auto-complete
* Setting up filters for incoming mail
* Using advanced search options
You may also have noticed some text ads or related links to the right of this message. They're placed there in the same way that ads are placed alongside Google search results and, through our AdSense program, on content pages across the web. The matching of ads to content in your Gmail messages is performed entirely by computers; never by people. Because the ads and links are matched to information that is of interest to you, we hope you'll find them relevant and useful.
We're working hard during our limited test to improve Gmail and make it the best webmail service around. Thanks for taking the plunge with us. We hope you'll enjoy Google's approach to email.
I think it's okay, but it has a hard time with LJ comments, and stacks them all over the place. So, if I make a comment in your journal, and then in another journal, those comments might get stacked together. Or not.
Anyway, want to try it out?

Thanks for the offer though!
