So, a while back, I got an email from an ex-girlfriend who felt like she was being done an injustice. I wrote a post about the emails that she was sending me and she wasn't very happy about that. It's been almost three years since I saw her last, almost as long since we've spoken (aside from the emails I posted) and still she believes I have some kind of obligation to say "how high?" and she says "jump." Is there a universal clause in the break-up contract that gives ex-girlfriends residual rights? Here's the email she sent me:

Subject: still nothing? seriously!?!?!dear c.j.how are you doing? are you still in korea? it's been a really long time! i hope you are still enjoying life there. i heard something about an earthquake, is everything ok? i'm engaged now and going to get married next year so everything is really great for me but planning a wedding is really hard work. are you seeing anyone now? i still read your blog every once and awile and still haven't seen anything about me in your women i love thing. i almost feel like it's a slap in the face considering everything we went thru together. i guess it didn't mean as much to you as it did to me. i still think about it every now and then. hopefully you'll write something soon. i'd really love to see it. like i said, i hope you're doing ok. time flys when you're having fun i guess and out seeing the world. maybe you just forgot about me. oh well anyway i hope you have a great day. drop me a line sometime. take care.
Seriously? wtf? If there's a high horse market somewhere out there, someone please tell me where I can find it. I always wanted to be able to climb up on one!

Subject: Re: still nothing? seriously!?!?!Hey --,Sorry it took me so long to answer. I was out this weekend getting engaged myself. It's only like the seventh time ... it feels like forever since I've had a good engagement.But hey, congrats on yours. Did he give you the ring right up front or did you have to email him a couple times to get him to do it? Were you like, "Hey, it's me, I'm sorry to do this to you but you know, after our engagement last night and you not giving me a ring, I thought I'd send you this quick little note to remind you that if you don't give me a ring, then we're not really engaged. Sorry, that's just how I roll." If not, you can use that. I'm sure he'll get the picture.Also, yes, I'm still in Korea. At least until October.I haven't really been thinking about you much (or at all) since the last time you wrote me about the blog. That might be why I haven't written about you. It's not that I don't have anything to say -- in fact, after these emails I'm sure I could come up with something. Would you like to write it yourself and just send it to me and I'll post it? It might get posted a lot quicker that way. But remember, I reserve the right to edit out words like "love", "trust", "coitus" and replace them with words that you might not like. I don't mean that in a bad way, I just think we should just be honest.Anyway, congrats again, really -- and I hope (for his sake) he did give you a ring when he proposed.Take care,C.J.
