Let me explain
Girl-E is a compulsive explainer. Whenever she makes the decision to do or not do something, you will never hear "it sounds cool" or "I just don't have time" as her explanation. Her behavior is never that simple, and she finds it absolutely necessary that all relevant parties be fully aware of just how obsessively thoughtful she is about every decision.
The advent of email was tailor-made for someone like her. We're sure many who know her would agree that her e-mails on topics such as "why I'll be 45 minutes late to the party" are excrutiatingly nuanced. And don't even get her started on weighing long-term commitments or major life decisions. Her friends and family have doubtless become accustomed to this, and have learned how to skim for the necessary items and delete. Strangers or acquaintances, however, may be overwhelmed or downright spooked, so we're just here to assure the masses that if you ever receive one of these epic ouvres, she really is just thinking of you. See here for further explanation of her related neuroses.
We'd write more, but Girl-E seems to be paralyzed in thought about whether to go to yoga today, and she may need some assistance. Have a lovely Sunday.
