Much greener pastures
What'd you get as your very first e-mail of the New Year?

Mine was a spam e-mail from Amazon about "Top 10 Year-End Deals in Electronics".

Followed by Pizza Hut pushing some kind of new pizza.

Still haven't heard from anybody I really know yet, but the year is young. :D

The first email that I received was at 1:03 am from Sears telling me about the New Years Day sale. Glad they said something at 1:03 this morning or I would have missed it... :eek:

Mine had the following subject line:
Tired of seeing disappointed faces on women when they pull down your pants.

Seems like it should be a question, but maybe it's the e-mail's author who is disappointed.

My 161st of 162 e-mails regarding colleges. Bryant University was kind enough to send one out at precisely 12:01 A.M.

Mine was from Eventful.com, updating on stuff happening in NYC this week. Unfortunately, I'm in Atlanta until the 20th.

Mine was YouTube service telling me about a comment on a video of mine on YouTube, another was Facebook Service telling me of a post on a story in my wall.

The first REAL email was my friend telling me to have a good 09.

Looks like your News Years' Resolution is decided already :D

Mine was an update from ModMyi I think. Either that or a Starbucks special coupon thingie. I forget. I deleted both without remembering which was first.

Email from iTunes saying I owe them £1.89:eek: (What a way to start the new year being told I owe money to someone).

Edit: My bad it was iTunes Germany saying that I had to confirm my German iTunes Account :D then came the one saying I owe £1.89
