Nemesis

It may be a hugeass coincidence, but somehow from my observation, the people born under the star signs Virgo and Gemini, seems to be my nemesis.

On the flip side, however, I have a few chummy friends under these star signs. And either the relationship is superbly great, or holy moly, I’m detested. :(

There is one run-of-the-mill Ms Gemini [certainly no offence to the other Geminis I know] who, from a second-degree friend, became a chummy pal of mine, and now to being complete strangers. All this, because of a GUY. Heck, she’s not even interested in [a relationship with] this guy to begin with! She just wants to collect the number of guys liking her, as a form of trophy or to enter some hall-of-fame.

I can understand the part where some people collect boyfriends from different Horoscopes, as a form of fun/thrill/whatever. But just how do you show off the number of guys who like you?! "Oh, here’s the friendster profile of Mr Married-guy-divorced-with-one-kid-laden-with-debts. He used to like me!" [Your money, maybe?]

Look, I’ve nothing against people’s choices of who they want to be with, be it in terms of religion, sexual orientation, occupation, species, etc. But I cannot stand people who downplay the true meaning of marriage if she ever thought of marrying the guy "because she loves the ring" [quoted in Ms Gemini's own words]. And of course those who bring the name of women down, by trying hard to collect as many guys who like them.

Lady, there’s no Guinness Record for that. Perhaps you should try to beat Annabel Chong’s feat. :p

Well, Ms Gemini tried to find out whom her ex-classmate had a crush on, back then in secondary school. She kept pestering ME to find out for her [I know her through Mr Ex-Classmate] who was the girl he once liked.

So one day, Mr Ex-Classmate told her that it was SOME Girl he once had a crushed on, Ms Gemini was piqued. She must have thought, "How could you fall for SOME Girl? She’s not even ______, and ______(insert random good adjectives)!!"

Because of a certain incident (which involve Mr Ex-Classmate), in which she allegedly claimed I was a 2-headed snake, while herself being the real one, she disappeared from my life. Like, into thin air?! She was prolly jealous of me, for whatever things I had no clues of.

Today, she sprung out of nowhere and emailed me to ’stop sending her emails’. My satirical reply to her was, "I’m SO sorry for betraying your Yahoo inbox!!" [I can be a bitch at times :p]

My bad for forgetting to remove her from my mailing list, meant specificially for people who appreciate my emails.

Sidenote: I don’t forward chain letters, virus warnings, etc without checking the validity of the email. I’d make the effort to write to the supposed-author of the email, for verification purposes. Some emails [asking for blood donation of unusual blood types, for example] may be real. But email circulation is so rampent that the email you get, may be 2 years old, the victim might have passed on/recovered and the family does not wish to get any more calls/SMSes/Emails regarding the said matter. I’d delete all the strings of email addresses when I forward emails, and I’d remove your name if I were to forward your emails out, so that you don’t have to get a repeated email you had sent out. And believe it or not, some people would write back and say they appreciate my emails. So, I don’t forward blindly. :)

Look, you can betray me for a guy, and I’ll prolly forgive you, if eventually you end up happily married with him. Heck, I may even give you my blessings when I get over everything.

Ms Gemini, I was there for you when you needed someone. I lent a listening ear, drank myself silly with you [back then when I didn't know you very well], gave you advice, etc. Yet what do I get in return!? Silly me, I usually try not to be too close with my other half in front of broken-hearted people [too bad I don't get that kind of treatment], but in the end what do I get?

All these could very well be helluva big misunderstanding, remaining a mystery that would never be solved because Ms Gemini has decided to disappear from my life.
