Journal Idlechat's Journal: There's nothing wrong in forgetting the past...

There's nothing wrong in forgetting the past and the people around it.
(an IdleStory)

"She doesn't want to hear from you anymore -- and from me as well, so respect it", said the barman. "There are many other girls you can care about, don't you think?"
"But I miss her."
"You don't really miss her. It's just the repulsion-attraction effect that influences you. In a very typical way, if I may add."
"I still think I should call her."
"You can try, but you'll just get blocked by her cellular voicemail, and I know you hate cellular voicemail, so it's a waste of your time."

Ring, ring
"Tati dear, your phone's ringing."
"Oh no, it's that IDLECHAT guy again.."
"Do you want me to locate him and warn him gently?"
"No, Chompy. He doesn't deserve any attention."
"As you wish."

Tal (standard Heb nickname) couldn't understand why Idlechat kept trying to contact her, since she hadn't spoken to him for four years.
Why? Because he belonged to the past, and she didn't like her past. In the same past, before she understood she had borderline personality disorder, she did many, many stupid things. The result of one of those stupid things was the abortion she had at the age of 17.

One of her boyfriends suggested that she has borderline personality, so she immediately dumped him, However, she also started learning about that subject, and also started to gradually abandon her old friends, Idlechat among them.
So why wouldn't he leave her?

"She's not answering."
"Ofcourse she's not answering. Why do you keep trying?"
"That's a good question... she was my first crush. You know what kind of *click* I felt between us during the first (and only) time I met her, in that IRC channel meeting near the parliament? She's one of the single magical girls I know, and I can't accept the way she cut our relationship without saying and anything and without explaining.. It's total ignorance, and it's just not nice."

Good, the phone stopped ringing.
It's true that it's not nice to cut connections with people like that, but they represent the past, and while it's important not to be nasty to people, it's more important to keep your sanity.
"Chompy, do you have any idea where we should put the Weitzmans?"
"We'll put them at the edge, near the orchestra, so they'll have no one to argue with."
"Good idea. Oh! Did you fax our song to the orchestra?"
"Yes Tati. Don't worry, we'll have a splendid wedding."

Notes:
1. I don't have Tal's phone. I'm not really doing that to her!
2. If you're from the country which has a city called "Well Seven", you may email me to see the original story (or comment before this silly thingie gets archived). Although I rarely check for emails.
3. Kudos for 'bang for the editorial notes. :)
