E-Tu Gmail?

Gmail- WTF!? I look at my screen to respond to a gchat — my most beloved feature since I gave up AIM — and all of a sudden everything is light blue. Why are you so scary? It's not even a drastic change right away — that I can handle. It's this weird surreal Gmail world where I think I'm going a little insane and I have to highlight things to see if its just me, and then eventually sign off because you are too much to bear.

I. hate. change.

When Facebook added Newsfeed (which admittedly is now an amazing, helpful stalker tool that I depend on), I was very upset. I joined the "Thousands against Newsfeed" group and proudly took my stance against this. And by the time "New Facebook" came about I just used "Original" as long as possible until they took that away and I quietly sulked thinking back to the days Facebook was exclusive to top schools while also being easy to use and not trashy like MySpace.

But Gmail ... WHYYYYY?

I have to say, I was curious. I wanted to change it immediately back to original but was swept in by the beach theme, and then even more astounded when I received this message after clicking on "Summer Ocean" :


OMFG! You CHANGE the screen theme BASED ON MY LOCATION!? WHO ARE YOU AND WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH MY OLD LOVE?

After clicking around I just went back to "older version" to try to calm myself down. Then I realized, something was missing. I was starting to get the shakes. Why was that? Because the older version DOESN'T HAVE GCHAT.

You freaking trickster you.

Fine. I give up. I'm putting it on Summer Ocean 33326 because I associate myself with Florida beaches over NY ones. And hey, the sentence in my top email sort of explains my current feelings.


Actually, I just went back to check it out again. I lied. I need my old Gmail back pronto. Please. I'm not good with break ups.
