Biggest oxymoron I’ve seen in a while…

Posted on January 22, 2014January 23, 2014 By admin

Dont-take-it-Personally

I was listening to some music on my ipod and a song made me think of Crazy German Girl. It happens once in a while, and sometimes I wonder what she’s up to and if she’s happy. She was a really close friend once, and I’ve always had a lingering malaise at how we broke things off. This time, something in the cosmic balance made me send her an olive branch email and see what happens from there.

I got this back from her:

Hi Richard. Looooong forgotten, no need for a lingering malaise. Don’t take it personally, but I’m not interested in staying in touch.

So yeah, I won’t take it personally ;)

UPDATE: It gets better :) About 20 minutes later, I get this:

fyi i am sure we went through this same exchange at least once. maybe delete my email addresses…

A quick look through all of my gmail would seem to disprove that. I don’t remember it, if it happened.

UPDATE 2: So, 3 hours after the last email, to which I didn’t respond to, I see this in my inbox:

So I just looked through my inbox. You contacted me previously with similar reconcile/stay-in-touch request.  As per my previous email of this morning, if you can please delete my email addresses in your contacts and/or refrain from using them in the future.

Katy says that I already have a neurotic woman in my life and I don’t need another one. I have to concur. So, as per her wishes, I will delete all traces of Crazy German Girl from my email and contacts.

Have a good life, Tina; hope you allow yourself be happy.

FINAL EDIT: Best facebook comment on this post:

Somehow immediately this pictures comes up in my mind:

Quote of the day

Sam Vimes could parallel process. Most husbands can. They learn to follow their own line of thought while at the same time listening to what their wives say. And the listening is important, because at any time they could be challenged and must be ready to quote the last sentence in full. A vital additional skill is being able to scan the dialogue for telltale phrases such as "and they can deliver it tomorrow" or "so I've invited them for dinner?" or "they can do it in blue, really quite cheaply."
--(Terry Pratchett, The Fifth Elephant)
