where the streets have no name

Had a big case of mistaken identity recently while on MSN. I have a friend who frequently uses the nick FallenAngel. In fact, it's become her solid calling card. We were close awhile back, always hanging out and talking about life and our dreams but grew apart recently. In fact, we only speak on MSN nowadays and ou conversations are polite and I guess we try to be as we were once but it just doesn't happen. So anyway, she went in for surgery a few months back. She says it's to remove a cyst or something but I suspect it's for cosmestic reasons ;) Being the caring friend that I am, i spread the word and we got a card sent out to her and never got back a thank you. So we assumed she died on the operating table.

Then a few weeks back, discovered her back online and we chatted for awhile. I never bothered asking her about the card. And life went back to normal. Today, I saw her online. Didn't bother to message her. She messaged me instead. And we spoke for awhile. I asked her how she was and so on. Then I asked when we were gonna meet and she said we can meet this week. Then the politeness in me came out and asked her how is she recovering from her surgery. And she asked me, "What surgery?"

I told her the surgery you went for in March. And she was like, "I didn't go for any surgery. U must be dreaming." I insisted, "No, you told me a few months back you went for surgery. I even sent you an get well card which i never got a thank you."

And she went on denying it. At this point, I thought to myself, this bloody bitch. She must have casually lied to me back then when I asked her out for a drink and she came up with this excuse of having to go in for surgery. And promptly forgot about it now. Which also explains why she didn't say thank you for the card. Cos she was guilty!! The dirty whore! I was so ready to attack her when I got this next message, "Are you sure you got the right person?"

Which sent me into turmoil. Uh oh.. Did i get it wrong? I checked the nick. Yea.. it was FallenAngel. I checked my contacts. Yea.. It was her. No way I could be wrong. No way no way. Then I saw another FallenAngel at the bottom. That was her. This was somebody else who had smartly changed HIS nick. I was flabbergasted. I was in shock. I wanted to die. I was like you fool!! Couldn't you tell me who you were in the first place? Lord.. I feel like such a fool.

Needless to say.. I was embarassed for all the thoughts and feelings I had. Sorry to the original FallenAngel. But you had it coming anyway.
