So I thought yesterday was the best day ever. But no today has it beat by like... a bajillion. I'm so hyper and like -squee- I don't think I will ever fall asleep. It's a really good thing that I don't have to work tomorrow.

(although I do have to go in early to pick up my paycheck and yell at my manager for scheduling me to close all three of the nights that we close at midnight when she promised me weeks ago that she wouldn't schedule me all three of the nights. -grr-)

So what is so special about the last two days?! Brad is back in town for Christmas break from college and I have spent like the entire last two days with him. (Quick back-story. I worked with brad. He is a year younger than me but he is the person that trained me in the beginning when I started my job. I remember I had to watch all these stupid videos with the rest of the new employees and get trained on working the register and then they were like "Ok go find brad in the shoe department" and I was like -nervous- saw a guy in the shoe department wearing a badge and was like "I'm new and I am supposed to find Brad" and he was like "That's me -grin-". I started to like him, but then he went off for his first year of college. Ok so that wasn't quick)

Yesterday:
Goodness I missed him. We always had so much fun working together we would joke around about everything and have the most random conversations (that have only gotten worse since we started talking on aim till 2am). I never really hung out with him outside of work before but yesterday we decided to hang out. We tried to do a non generic and over-done hang out by going ice skating but sadly there is only open skate at the rink on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. So we went bowling... and to the movies. It was funny and we totally were making fun of the fact we set out to do something different and ended up doing both over-done hang out options in one day.

Bowling was hilarious. We started off with two games but then we each one one game so we paid for another. Only Brad had told the guy two games thinking, one for me and one for him and we ended up playing four games. He beat me three times. We both played terrible the fourth game and during the third game I totally dropped the bowling ball when I was waiting my turn to bowl and had to like chase after it. It was so funny. We were so like flirty and touchie during bowling and there was always this underlying tension and nervousness because I like him but am too afraid to admit it.

After bowling we were going to go eat but we decided to go check out movies times first and it just happened that Casino Royale started in like 5 minutes so instead of actually food we stocked up on popcorn and twizzlers and headed into the theatre. The movie was good. We both agreed they stretched it out too long and should have ended it before the actual ending but that it was in general good.

After the movie it was like 9 o'clock and we decided we were out of places to go so he took me home. We joked around on the ride home, but not as much as we had done the rest of the day because well the day was over and there was a lingering sadness about it being over (at least I felt like there was). When he dropped me off he got out and we shared a slightly awkward hug before being like "Ok well I will talk to you on aim in a bit!"

Today:
Today we were on aim to each other only until like... 2:30am. I woke up at around 9am because we had an evil house guest that pounced on me and tried to get me to work out with her. Is she crazy?! I don't work out after getting like no sleep. Plus she likes pilates and yoga and I don't, so yeah. Anyways I was overall a lazy bum all day, I worked on getting the guild I am VC for more organized and then went to work at 3:45. My friend brittany got to work about 4:15 and we chattered excitedly about how she, brad and I were closing tonight and how that group totally rocked for Brad's first day back at work. I told her about yesterday and she was like "So you two overcame your shyness! It's about time" and I was like... "No... we just hung out. Like friends only with the annoying fact that I like him and am too afraid to admit it" she rolled her eyes and we anxiously awaited brad's arrival at 5:45.

He was late and we were both jumpy even before he was late we were like "dangit I just want to call him and tell him to come early!" (she said it first). The three of us had always been tight-nit. He finally showed up like ten minutes late and there were lots of hugs because Brittany hadn't seen him since he had left for college. He visited over thanksgiving but she didn't see him then. Then the joking around began, it is a really good thing we had not many customers today. Oh goodness having brad back at work was amazing, we were driving brittany nuts though because she forgot (I think even we ourselves forgot) how alike mine and brad's minds are. We both have terrible dirty minds and are just plain goofy. We were throwing things at each other and picking on brittany and poking each other.

Brittany of course was playing the little matchmaker (except not exactly... all she had to do was break down our shyness) so each time one of us was away from the other she would say something about our flirting with each other and basically say "Get over your shyness now damnit" only in kinder words. She did a good job of wearing us down too although I didn't know she was saying the same things to brad as she was me till the end of the night. We had clocked out and brad had gone off to do something before we left (he was giving me a ride home) and she told me that he liked me. I had basically known he had but hearing her confirm it gave me butterflies, I got so nervous. Then she gave me an altoid which just made my nervousness worse and we headed off to meet up with him again.

The ride home was interesting we managed to keep up a conversation about the fun we had yesterday and today at work making fun of Brittany and such. The nervous tension between us was even worse however and it's all Brittany's fault!! Gah. So we get to my house and I get out and he gets out and then we kinda awkward hug each other pull away then lean back forward at the same time and kiss. It was short and sweet and we both pulled away and blushed. It was cute. What happened next? He left, rather quickly and I went inside my house after practically skipping to the door.

4 1/2 hours later we finally ended our conversation because he has to be at work in 13 hours and we both need to sleep. Oh my goodness I am so happy.

(Yes I could have totally summed that all up in like two paragraphs but. I have obviously been rather hyper this evening. I need to go to sleep now though. Before mom wakes up and yells at me.)
