I think my high school nemesis just sent me a friend request.

It’s a trap!
Also, do high schoolers actually have nemeses?
You have to teach them the difference between a nemesis and an archenemy (reading them Chuck Klosterman helps), but then, yes, they do.
I remember when the guy who sexually assaulted me friended me on facebook.
It was one of the strangest moments the internet has ever given me.
I like more options than just accept or refuse.
She probably just wants access to your friend list!
If you decline her invitation, will she tell EVERYBODY that you’re a cunt?
(Notice Phil and I both assumed: Girl.)
She dated the guy I was in love with for four years, therefore she was my nemesis.
Bitch.
My best friend in highschool did this and while I pretended to forgive her and let it go, I secretly seethed and plotted. Although THAT guy doesn’t even make the top ten in my memories so maybe it’s time I let it go. But it’s the treachery that counts!
“Ladies, please. There’s enough of me to go around.”
Do you think this is true?: It’s generally failure that makes people go looking for old friends. I guess in some cases it might be growth and actual reflection, though…but even that seems to usually have a high alchohol content.
I think the difference between failure and growth is probably more subtle than the difference between your nemesis and your arch-enemy.
Joel–yes, that hits me as wonderfully accurate.
Don’t think so, Daryl. I’m an abject failure and have no desire to find old friends. Maybe it’s a curve.
“You hate your archenemy so much that you try to keep your hatred secret, because you don’t want your archenemy to have the satisfaction of being hated.”
This is where I always go wrong. I can’t keep my hatred that secret.
