It happens once in a while, and sometimes I wonder what she&#8217;s up to and if she&#8217;s happy. She was a really close friend once, and I&#8217;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.<\/p>\n<p>I got this back from her:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Hi Richard. Looooong forgotten, no need for a lingering malaise. Don&#8217;t take it personally, but I&#8217;m not interested in staying in touch.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>So yeah, I won&#8217;t take it personally ;)<\/p>\n<p>UPDATE: It gets better :) About 20 minutes later, I get this:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>fyi i am sure we went through this same exchange at least once. maybe delete my email addresses&#8230;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>A quick look through all of my gmail would seem to disprove that. I don&#8217;t remember it, if it happened. <\/p>\n<p>UPDATE 2: So, 3 hours after the last email, <em>to which I didn&#8217;t respond to<\/em>, I see this in my inbox:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p> So I just looked through my inbox. You contacted me previously with similar reconcile\/stay-in-touch request.\u00a0 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. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Katy says that I already have a neurotic woman in my life and I don&#8217;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. <\/p>\n<p>Have a good life, Tina; hope you allow yourself be happy.<\/p>\n<p>FINAL EDIT: Best facebook comment on this post:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Somehow immediately this pictures comes up in my mind:<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.flubu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/mosh-girl-original-hp.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"10206\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.flubu.com\/blog\/2014\/01\/22\/biggest-oxymoron-ive-seen-in-a-while\/mosh-girl-original-hp\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.flubu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/mosh-girl-original-hp.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"640,480\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"mosh-girl-original-hp\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/www.flubu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/mosh-girl-original-hp.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/www.flubu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/mosh-girl-original-hp-400x300.jpg\" alt=\"mosh-girl-original-hp\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-10206\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.flubu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/mosh-girl-original-hp-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.flubu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/mosh-girl-original-hp.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was listening to some music on my ipod and a song made me think of Crazy German Girl.
