last year a person in my current position, every week despairingly said he was going to go to London and start working at Cyberdog. Despite being the least alternative person I know

Ripe for the moulding then
Which basically means being forced into varying ill-fitting and mismatched items of clothing and being screamed at by management to dance whenever not talking to a customer. So I've heard, anyway

he wanted to be a bit emo
but the fussy chap with a first from Oxford who likes neatly ironed shirts part of him wasn't really gelling with that image

Wearing glasses and voting LibDem doesn't stop me being alternative
although I almost always wear contact lenses and am not exactly shouting about my political allegiance right now. Except for just there.

I'm confused as to why someone old enough to have graduated from Oxford would want to be emo - surely he's at least 6 years too old?

he was a very serious teenager
it all caught up with him quite fast so he crammed in a lot of stuff that most people think of as being quite teenage into his last year

Ah, deprived childhood syndrome
I can sympathise, I only realised there were such things as alcohol, cigarettes (still regret this one), girls (not so much) and drugs in my late teens and spent most of my early twenties playing catchup

Yeah
he was dipping a toe into the water. Sadly I reckon he's going to redo it all over again in a few years

This is why documenting his progress with many, many photos is important

I'm not that cruel

You wouldn't get on with him
from thinking that he's bi he has swung to the 'being queer is an affront to God' and is currently thinking about converting.

You're right, I wouldn't
I'm much more a fan of your attitude towards bisexuality and religion. But that might be cos you're a girl
