So. I got flowers delivered to me at work yesterday. A dozen beautiful white roses (more symbolic than red, for my name means 'white'.. dunno if the guy knows this or not). From a secret admirer. o__o
This has never happened to me before in my life. I was literally stunned speechless, and kind of waiting for some cameras to pop up like it was some TV show and I was getting pranked. To make it even more embarrassing, this trio of older ladies I'm working with are just gushing "oh they're so beautiful!" "you're so lucky!" "girl, you need to find out who sent them!"

I was completely flustered and just didn't know what to do. I was able to find a clear plastic box we use for displays to use as a makeshift vase to put them in... so now I have these dozen roses up at the cash register, and of course everyone who comes up to the register has to exclaim about how beautiful they are and whose they are and who they're from. >-<

Finally, the girl who delivered them to me (another girl who works in the store, who I don't really know that well outside of exchanging passing greetings) pulls me aside to ask what I think of the roses, and if I know who they're from. Of course, I don't know who they're from, so she tells me and again I'm stunned speechless. They're from a boy who works in the store (obviously) who I guess has been crushing on me since I first started working there in Jan. Just like this girl, I don't think I've ever said more to this guy than a few words in passing -- me: "good morning~" him: -nod- "hey" kind of thing -- but apparently he thinks I'm the most beautiful thing and he was just way too shy to ever actually come up and talk to me. And he was too shy to deliver the flowers himself, so he waited out in the car.

I dont know what to do. Honestly, it was just about the cutest thing I ever heard. I love romantic stuff like that, but again that kind of stuff never happens to me, so I had no idea what to do. Still no idea what to do, because the really super unfortunate thing (that makes me feel like a horrible human being that should just go straight to hell) is that he's not my type, physically. And up until yesterday I thought he was kind of a thug because of his attitude -- but that's all been flipped upside down now, because apparently he's just really painfully shy. o_o;

I managed to have a really awkward thank-you with him, and I let him have my number just to be polite -- and let me say, he was shaking the whole time. Literally shaking while inputting my number on his phone.

So yeah. Again I find myself in the position of being liked (...really liked, enough to be sent flowers) by someone I don't like in return.

Why is my life full of this irony?! D:

Unrelated: got my tickets to the midnight premiere of The Hunger Games movie in IMAX. Hell yeah! :D 

everyday life, blah blah blah
