The Rent Welcome Wagon — Page 305

Dude, seriously. I think anyone that has ANY doubts about Norbert (do these people exist?) need to listen to TL5Y cast recording... more specifically "If I Didn't Believe In You" - I cry almost every time I listen to that song. It's done so beautifully and both he and Sherie put so much emotion behind each song on that CD. It amazes me to no end.

Okay, minor-ish problem here. There's this guy named Raf (otherwise known as The Paraplegic Date From Hell). He will NOT stop phoning me. We both mingle in the same group of 8 friends, and I was introduced to the group of 6 by one of my friends. So I'm like, an adder-onner. Anyway, in this group is Raf's ex-girlfriend - they dated and broke up long before I joined the gang so I'm aware of their history but pretty much indifferent to whatever went down, but I know there's some awkwardness between them.

Anyway, he seems to have a thing for Asian girls, and will not stop contacting me. Ever since we met in April, he keeps phoning, text msging, emailing me persistently. He says himself that his two "best" qualities are his patience and his persistence. His ex-gf told me the only reason they went out was because he kept harrassing - er, pursuing - her and she finally gave in even though she wasn't into it.

I kept avoiding him and inviting people along every time he tried to plan "alone" outings with me. Finally, my friend told me to go on one date with him, satisfy his curiousity (I only saw him socially maybe once or twice a month), which led to The Infamous Date From Hell.

And did it stop his curiousity? Nope. Made things worse.

Thing is when we're out of contact for a month or so, he won't call or email. And it's nice. I only want to see him in a group setting. But when I throw him a bone and I, like, acknowledge him even, he's all over it again.

I don't think I'm hot **** at all - I think he's desperate, likes the challenge and now that his ex is dating the brother of one of our other friends (ironically, another girl he used to pursue before his ex), he's really scrambling. He's phoning again (5 times in the last 24 hours, plus 2 times I didn't answer), emailed me angrily when I didn't return his calls, accuses me of blowing him off - YET DOESN'T GIVE UP!!

WHAT THE F*CK SHOULD I DO??? It's beyond just being a humorous nuisance that I can laugh and joke around with my friends - it's obnoxious and more than borderline creepy! I would tell him right off but since we're both in the same circle, it would make things really awkward. GARGH! HELP!

the first thing is to flat out tell him to leave you alone.

Nonverbal communication...which isn't quite as much of a bull**** class as it sounds like. I just worked my ass off for the first 10 weeks of the quarter.

things are pretty good, can't complain.

ACK! My professor emailed me. Psychobiology grades are posted. This is the one class I am worried about. Must go check.

BRB

No kidding! How come A+ and A are both 4.0?? What's the point in making any distinction then?

---

You are! But it's just the principle of having different letter grades and %ages but having the same GPA recognition. How stupid! Wait, why are we discussing GPAs on here, and threadjacking on the GPA thread? Hahaha!

Are you on the west coast as well? I thought you were based in NYC for some reason.
