    skipping over them, because you are nervous about what they might contain?

      No. I have nothing exciting coming to my inbox, ever.
      However I try to leave the invoices unclicked, but my better side has them paid as soon as they arrive
      ..and I'm off.

                  Yeah. There's a girl I used to correspond with, on and off for several years, who recently sent me an e-mail after a long period of silence. I just can't find the courage to read it. I'm not sure why... fear of pain, fear of disappointment?

                    there's no fear in a gunshot, only in the anticipation of it.

                                  Since last Sunday, November 21st. I have a feeling she has a boyfriend and I really can't deal with another dream going down the drain.

                                      I've even taken it a step further. On a few occasions, I've turned my head and clicked delete before the message preview has a chance to display.

                                          Who it's from has everything to do with it. Some people always say or want the same thing -- so you don't even have to read their e-mails. Some people just don't matter -- so you don't ever have to read those, except when you want to remind yourself why they don't matter. And then there are the ones to which I always give my first attention -- specifically BECAUSE they make me nervous.

                                          j-

                                                      Yes, when it's something important that I've been waiting for a decision on, I get nervous about opening it, so I leave it as the last email to deal with.

                                                            I finally opened it and I was right. There's another guy and she's madly in love. Yet another step on the road to misery for yours truly. Now I'm trying to resist the urge to reply... "So all of our plans meant nothing to you? You just used me to boost your ego?" But hopefully the sweet sound of silence will prevail.
