Toxicity

toxic ex just msn-ed me. i think he still sees us as friends, but not good enough friends to call up for a chat or go out for a pint, just good enough to pester when you need something. he treats me like his personal yellow pages/encyclopedia/fountain of all knowledge. today he wanted a ten second review of some obscure band he's going to see. other recent requests have included the following:

where in NW london is there a 24 hour internet cafe?

what's the song at the end of episode 3 of Lost?

who sang the theme tune to Peep Show?


when we were an item, i didn't mind this. in fact i quite liked it, as knowing the answer to most questions he made me feel quite brainy. however, as we haven't seen each other in nearly a year, i feel he is being a little cheeky.

the obvious solution would be to stop answering. if i just ignored his questions i'm sure he'd soon get bored and find someone else to pester. but i'm a girl, and that little part of me that doesn't want to quite let go compels me to reply.

(i answered his question. he has been silent ever since)
