SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Life is totally unfair, and you
will soon be living proof of that, Sagittarius -- *in reverse,*
that is! Wild cards and X-factors will fall at your feet, in your
lap, and on your head. You're likely to attract a kind of
extravagant, unpredictable luck that will almost make no sense.
You'll have such incisive intuition and impeccable timing that it
may almost seem as if there's a cosmic conspiracy working
behind the scenes to make you happy and fulfilled. The only
potential downside is that envious people may accuse you of
having an unnatural advantage or reaping more than your
rightful share. Fortunately, your charm levels will be so high
that you can probably disarm their resentment.

Every once in awhile I'll get an instant message from someone I don't know. I have AIM set to ask me if I want to accept it, rather than just giving me the message immediately. I usually say "yes," but it's always someone who has mistaken me for someone else, so it's always a frustrating experience.
Last night I got one from someone who thought he was talking to his son. He starts out, "What's up?" and I respond, "Sorry, wrong number." That's the canned response. He says, "What do u mean by that?" and I explain that these are not the droids you're looking for, move along. Not in those exact words, of course, more like, "I'm not who you think I am, you've got the wrong address."
He responds, "R U serious?" I say, yes, I'm serious, and please stop bothering me because I'm REALLY not who you think I am, and I need to get back to my own life. Then he says, "It's your dad!" and I say, "No, you're not my dad. Sorry."
He sends another message saying, "Okay, smart guy, then who IS your father?" which I ignore. Then a few minutes later I get another one, "r u there?" and then another one immediately after that, "AND GET SERIOUS!"
RealizIng that he was going to keep bothering me all night, I sent my final response, "I'm going to go now. I'm sorry you got the wrong address, but I am not your child. You need to check the address."
He went away, thankfully. I've had several like that; I don't know why I put myself through it. I guess even though I know what's going to happen, I still have some small inkling that it might really be for me, even though only a handful of people actually know my AOL screen name, and certainly no one whose screen name I wouldn't recognize. Still, you never know. And also, it feels rude to ignore it, just like it feels rude not to answer the door when someone knocks, or not to answer the phone when it rings. I do both occasionally, but still, it feels rude.
