Do you have anyone who will let you sleep at their place?
Not in a long-term sense. If this was happening more often, it might be worth it.
A woman’s self-defense class would probably be a good idea.
*nod* I’ll look into it. I already pretty well grok the idea that it’s okay to defend myself, though—my worry isn’t so much that I won’t struggle as that I won’t be very effective at it. (I’m not even remotely athletic.)
An ear can be bitten off with a mere 15 lbs of force, or something like that. To gouge out eyes you need to either catch them by surprise with their eyelids open, or have sharp nails and a fair bit of hand strength. Honestly, go for the ear. Just bite onto the top with your canines, and YANK.

Be unpredictable.
