Scary Simon sent me a valentine... considering that I agreed to go for a platonic drink with him in october and have been avoiding him ever since because he doesn't seem to understand the nature of "platonic" you'd think he'd have got he hint by now.

I have the perfect imagery of Scary Simon to make you laugh and make him totally ineffectual. He's a short, balding, round-headed loser chap chasing after a pretty redhead he'll never have a chance with. =^-^=

Ugh, I've known him since I was a teenager and spent most of the time then avoiding him. He's one of those people who just does not get that you are not interested. he chatted me up when i first met him, i told him not to, He promised not to do it anymore then continued to do it in that really sly way that means you can't actually tell them to stop, you know, getting in your personal space, forcing hugs on you all the time, trying to find out what you're doing so he can *accidentally* show up there. Then I fell out of touch with him for several years. In october i ran into him at an art fair and agreed to get a drink with him and catch up- I thought maybe he'd grown out of his creepy phase, but NO. Once again with the unwanted personal contact, unwanted uncomfortable compliments, unsubtle hints about how he's single and how a girl like me would be perfect for him blah blah blah. because it was an art fair I had business cards out with my number on, so now he has my number and he rings me, sends me messages- you'd think me ignoring them all would be a hint. A normal person does not think going for a drink is a date, a normal person can TELL when they're making you uncomfortable but Not Simon! Oh no... The sad thing is i'm reduced to ignoring him because if I see him I feel compelled to be polite and pleasant to him, I don't want to scream "no I wont date you, you creepy, hulking, socially maladjusted moron" but anything less seems to mean in his mind that I'm interested in him! AUGH ¬_¬

Hmm...if you find yourself in a conversation with him, tell him all about how you're moving in with Pete and how excited you are, and let him reach the same conclusion as your hypothetical future neighbours

See this is why I need to visit. I can fix so many things. Like this. "Dude, she doesn't like you. You're creepy and you smell. Go AWAY."
