Dear creepy slouching guy who walked RIGHT FUCKING BEHIND ME AND KEPT MATCHING, THEN EXCEEDING MY EVER-INCREASING SPEED on the dark path back to Gulick:

I am certain you were only a student minding his own business, not a potential rapist/mugger, but that was not clear to me until our paths diverged, especially since I couldn't see you until then. However, it was quite dark, I could hear that you were too damn close and getting closer, and the fact that I kept speeding up and looking back, and checking that my keys were easily accessible, should have maybe indicated some discomfort on my part. I would like you to know that next time you do this sort of thing to me, I will be much more likely to just run, or maybe preemptively kick you in the crotch, rather than hurrying to Gulick paranoiacally and opening the door into my very own forehead, giving me a huge lump on the head and probably a mild concussion. I prefer this former set of actions (that is, violence) not because they are wise (as I know they are not), but because they hurt me less and I don't really care about you. Because you're an inadvertent asshole, but you're still an asshole.

Unfondly,

Kaesa, who does not want to go to all her classes tomorrow

PS: I feel kind of stupid ranting about this, because nothing Bad has ever happened to me, but argh. I know irritability is a symptom of concussion, and the above post is probably pretty unreasonable, but I'm so frustrated. Especially since if anything had happened to me the second question after "OMG ARE YOU ALRIGHT?" would be "What were you doing walking back from Ames alone after eleven, anyway?"

PPS: But seriously, what am I supposed to do? Turn to him and say "Excuse me, but I don't know you, and I was going to run away, but I don't want to be insensitive to your feelings. Are you planning on harming me in any way? No? Oh, all right, then, I guess you can keep ominously creeping up behind me!"

PPPS: I will be so pissed if I miss Karate because my head hurts tomorrow. I was just getting the hang of the advanced kata.

PPPPS: Yes, I know that my opening a door into my head was not his fault. I'm just annoyed.
