that's great Fay. I don't think the third part is needed but it is very kind.
This money, it is too much. You should have some small refund.

Spike's Bitches 38: Well, This Is Just...Neat.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I think brevity will be your friend in this situation. It's much harder to argue with and read interpretations into.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Ngah! So I was brief like a brief thing, and he's sent me a little 'ok, sorry for bothering you' kind of reply that makes me feel like a rude bitch who kicked a puppy.
BUT, better this, with the clarity, than him being all 'hey, maybe she'll fancy me!' and me being all 'OMGWTFStalker!' and it going back and forth and back and forth. Right? Right?
...but, argh. Rudeness. Argh.

Yes. Being brief and clear does not equal being rude.
On an upthread topic... my favorite Christmas song is Fairytale of New York by the Pogues.

oh for goodness sakes don't feel guilty. At the very least you've saved both of you a lot of wasted time.

I forgot about this one! I love this song and I haven't heard it yet this year.

Laga, I'm English. I mean, almost painfully so. You know that bit with Eric Idle, in National Lampoon's European Vacation? Where they bump into him while walking, and he apologises, and then they run over him, and he apologises, etc etc etc? It's far too accurate, at least as far as I'm concerned. We apologise to people when they step on our feet, never mind when we've rejected their amorous advances.
Anyway, I'll stop wincing some time in the next hour or so, and focus on the nice (if less geographically convenient) people whom I've encountered & had some correspondence with via OKCupid instead of Mr NoCapitalLettersGuy.

Right. I should've made my suggested response "No thank you. Very sorry."
And I'm off... goodnight, all.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
I'm more interested in finding fellow geeks who want to discuss 'Firefly' or 'Stargate Atlantis' or 'The Sandman' or TS Eliot.
Fay, if I fancied girls, I'd be licking you right now. With Daniel I get 3 of those 4, but we haven't had the Eliot discussion because I've had to block the T.S. love due to losing those books when I fled my mother's house.
This is bittersweet, bringing back part of myself that has been missing, and yet... it's missing. I'ma go add some of his stuff to my Amazon wishlist.

Perhaps "No thank you. Terribly sorry, old chap." Or "No thank you. I appear to have accidentally brutally stabbed myself to death while shaving."
Ah, TS Eliot. My Complete Eliot is back in the UK, but there's always the internet for a quick fix. Not the same thing, of course.
