Other Bonnie, You're Killin' Me!

AUGH!!!!!

So, some other Bonnie out there (yes, I have her last name, I know where--city/state--she lives) put down her email address WRONG on something. On multiple somethings.

Her Gmail address is just ONE letter off from mine, but she apparently has drunken benders during which she writes down the address "my way" and I start getting emails about staff meetings (she's a professor), from students turning in late writing assignments (oy, the attachments), about approving pizza party flyers (oy, the typos), and occasionally confirming dinner reservations made via the web or progress reports on fundraising groups.

At first, I just deleted the mail. I get so much spam already, plus so much unsolicited actor email ("Do I have what it takes?" "Do you like my headshot?" "Can I send you my reel?" "Will u casted me in a fulm plz?" "Which of these agents should I sign with?" "Can I work for you?") that it just seemed simple. HIT DELETE. Move on.

And then I decided to reply, "Please remove me from your address book and/or mailing list. Thank you." And that's how I learned that "Other Bonnie" is a professor in Florida whose email address is almost exactly like mine.

Damn, that bitch either doesn't want her mail or has horrific handwriting. :\

but on the other hand, she's probably cursing you every time she ego surfs on Google.

We don't share the last name. ;) It's nowhere close. ;) We just share similar email addresses. ;)

You know, you could have a lot of fun with this, given the time to play.

I love how many people have sinister suggestions, on this!!! I should've shared the issue a year ago when it started up!!!!!!!! LOL

You could have a lot of fun with this.

Give her students A's on their late papers with misspellings. Tell them you'll write them a letter of recommendation for any employer. Keep trying to get the staff meetings rescheduled no matter what time is suggested. Tell them alcohol is welcome at the pizza party...

The possibilities are endless.

Brilliant, evil suggestions! LOL

Actually this is the time you start flirting with the students via email. Seriously, start dropping hints. She'll have no idea what's happening to her.
No way that could go bad.

Yeah, really flirt with them. Send them dirty emails..

There has GOT to be a script in this, you guys!!!!!!

Posted by: bon Author Profile Page at April 15, 2008 1:12 AM

hmmm......a movie script. Well, here are some working titles:
The Other Bonnie Girl (I know, I know, bad takeoff of The Other Boleyn Girl)
Two Bons Don't Make a Right
The sinister: It Came From the Other Email
And my personal favorite, a Frank Miller adaptation: Bon City. An intriguing tale of the dark world of casting, twisted pizza party flyers, and dirty emails (I can't help it, Hal has got me going on that). A world where graphic misspellings defy law and order and run rampant on the citizens of.......BON CITY.
And on that note, back to reality.....lol. Hope you are feeling better BTW........

"It started as a practical joke. Revenge for somebody else sending her emails by mistake.

But then it got serious.

Sexy.

Dangerous.

Lethal!

Brian Austin Greene, Gabrielle Carteris, and Jamie Walters star in...

THE OTHER BONNIE

I could get that sucker financed TODAY!!!

This comment thread is so Single White Female, i love it.

Posted by: erik at April 15, 2008 8:00 PM

isn't it, though? I reeeeeally love this! :)

Posted by: bon at April 15, 2008 10:23 PM

Well, if you get financing, I get the Jamie Walters role.

I mean, it WAS my idea. It's only fair.

Posted by: Hal at April 22, 2008 1:44 PM

DUDE! Don't you know how it works? I can *get* the financing on THAT CAST. ;) I'm sure there's a role in it for you somewhere (as well as producer credit), but cast-contingent financing relies on the "names," baby. (Eesh. Did I just call Jamie Walters a "name" actor?) Heh heh.

hehe nothing compares to this, but for a while i was getting weekly invitations to some recurring church function "FISH FRY" in who knows where, americana - i didn't have the heart to tell them i was vegetarian.

and if you ever get a break for a few hours, i just moved (again) to a house off laurel canyon with a real pool and jacuzzi (and sweeping vistas, and fruit trees...and perchance even the cute, single, straight executive chef at paramount)

and um, a room with a red leather circular bar, red velvet curtains and red carpetting! i kid you not!

once we get the jacuzzi working (currently very low on the list of priorities...) you MUST come over so we can finally have our long-overdue jacuzzi & martinis play date.

(and sorry i missed the showcase - i really wanted to go but i was moving!)

We missed you!!! I'm excited about your new digs and agree that our martini jacuzzi playdate is way overdue! Congrats on the new space! XO and we'll see you at the next showcase, right? ;)
