How did I miss this?

A cybergoth rock opera with Tony Head. To quote shimgray: Rocky Horror crossed with Blade Runner. Yes, it's entirely fabricated in order to appeal to People Like Me, and might be terrible in so many ways; but the fact is that it contains so much awesome that I do not care.

Library school was good today - creepy-boy did not talk to me at all. He did, however, send me an email inviting me to a Mark Gatiss signing in his hometown.. which I've replied to with a sentence pleading lack of time and nothing else.

Intrusion tomorrow night - UCAS deadline at work on Wednesday - a musical in 6th week - sleep at some point in December.

Ooh, I don't know if that's what I'd have recommended. If he thinks you were just too busy this time, he doesn't think you didn't want to go. When you get the next invitation, which I predict you will, allow me to suggest that you say "No, thank you" and leave it at that.

It's in context of being far too busy all term, so at least I hope it has a bit more permanence than "I'm not free that evening" - still, I agree, and I'm turning up the simple dismissiveness a little more with each interaction.

Honestly, I wouldn't give him a reason (well, I wouldn't reply at all, but if I did I'd go for the straight no). It seems rude because british culture is not too keen on people saying direct no's instead of umming and ahhing and deciding that unfortunately not this time etc.

But you want him to go away. So slightly rude is kinda ideal.

Later that day, he emailed again, asking me to have lunch with him on Friday. Before I even got into the cycle of guilt and uncertainty, I hit reply typed "No, thank you", and sent the email.

He has not contacted me since.

Thank you.

Auntie Fox has got your back, baby. :-) Proud of you, and hope the non-contact persists. w00t!
