STALKED!!!!
11:36 AM, Thursday, 13 July, 2006
I am officially being stalked at the university, albeit passively.
There is this guy who has been bugging me for ages. He is very very annoying. He comes from Chimbu, in the Highlands. For about two months now he has been coming into my office every couple of days, asking me out for lunch. The problem is that whenever he comes to see me, he comes in and greets me, then says, 'excuse me but I have to spit' and runs out of the building and spits out his buai. He always comes back, though!
Then he asks me out for lunch, to which I give a very cold, 'sorry but I'm too busy'. After this he stands around in my office, chewing the remaining buai in his mouth. I actually have to ask him to leave so that I can get on with my work.
A couple of weeks ago he came up to me and told me that he had been back to Chimbu during uni break, and that he had asked his auntie to make me a bilum saying 'CAROLYN - HIV - MELBOURNE'. Interesting.
Yesterday he came into my office to tell me that if I ever need an escort around Port Moresby he would be happy to oblige. I told him thanks, but I live in Town and don't often come to this side of the city except for work. Also, THANKS BUT MY HUSBAND IS COMING HERE IN LESS THAN TWO WEEKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't know what more I can do to put him off! I have told him that I'm married, I have told him that I am too busy to pay any attention to him, I have told him that I don't have time to spend time with him. Apart from being either blatantly rude (which I'm perfectly capable of despite my reluctance) or locking my door in between him leaving to spit and coming back to ask me out for lunch, I don't know what I can do! WHY DO I ALWAYS ATTRACT THE FREAKS?????????
note: This is not the first freak to be following me around PNG. There was the crazy Christian guy who was calling me 'his angel' and wanting me to teach 'moral hygeine' in his village. There is still Monica, my lovely friend from the highlands. And there's the crazy angry internet man. And there's the man with the coke bottle filled with holy water on his desk...

Doesn't the "disdainful look" work, at all?

And herein lies the previously unknown power of the pus-filled and weeping tropical sore. Attractive to weirdos!
Maybe you can hire a pretend husband?

I think employ Hu to be your bodyguard when he's in POM...
