A million and one of me

[listersgirl]

At my "real" email address (aka the one with my real name) I've been getting a lot of mail that is clearly intended for people other than me -- people with my same name. I am so not unique *sob*. The first few I responded back to the person, letting them know that I was not the Rachel they were looking for, and they were all very thankful, but it's getting kind of boring. Especially because of the family in Texas, who originally included me in a group email, and now I'm getting random other emails from all the other people included in that email, included an evite to a barbeque, which I politely declined.

It's just-- I'd like to ignore them, but I know what a pain it is when someone doesn't answer an email and you don't know whether they're ignoring you or whether the email got lost in the ether somewhere.

Or maybe I could just start to steal their lives! This latest email had flight information for a trip to Bulgaria and Austria. I could totally take that. Of course, I'd have to get to Dublin first, but still. Ski trip! Nevermind that I don't know how to ski.

There are far too many of me, and they all seem to be gymnasts or porn stars.

none are both?

Surprisingly, no. Although I do think it's unfair that I didn't get any of the bendy genes that apparently come with my name.

it is tragic indeed.
