reason to get up in the morning
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
dani has a new reason to get up for work in the morning. well..a few, actually. the old ones are: breakfast, an episode of "la vie devant nous" aka french 90210 knock-off..and now...
-a hot dude that works at Y&R... let me explain.
i take the metro for about 45 minutes in the morning. about 15 minutes in, a guy walks on. white puma track pants, cute sweatshirt, nice hair, cute bod. i thought he might be gay. i was reading my 20 minutes morning newspaper, him a book. both listening to our ipods. i was surprised when i caught him glancing at me. more than once. and it wasn't in my head.
ironically, we both got off at marcel sembat. now there are 5 exits. i take the farthest one. and so did he. by this time i was a good 10 feet behind him (due to my bum leg and my crazy heels). he turned around atleast 2-3 times before we got out of the station to see if i was there. furthermore, he ended up walking in the same direction as me to work. me, still trailing behind about 10 feet in true stalker style. at this point i started thinking, rather hoping and dreaming, wouldn't it be wonderful if he works at Y&R??? nah. well, he was dressed casually and boulogne is a business area so most likely if you're not in a suit and tie, you work here.
and to my grand surprise, he crossed the street to head towards our building. and so did i. when i walked in like 30 seconds after me he was gettting his coffee. he saw me come and, and we made eye contact (for about the 10th time). atleast now he knew i actually work here and wasn't stalking him like a crazy lady.
i took a little extra time at the newspaper stand near the elevator hoping that maybe he would take it up to. slim chance since there's a lot of other areas of the building where he could work. and just as the door was closing, who comes around the corner? beau gosse. i held the elevator for him. we were 3. i had already hit the "2" for the second floor, and when he didn't press another, i knew he would be on my floor. we both got out together. ahh. he went to the right into the "art purchasing" division, and i went straight. before the door closed he saw where i went into. so weird!
so now i'm thinking, who is this dude? he's hot! wait, is he the new guy that sits behind me?? that would be so fucked up cause we see eachother all the time and now i'm like staring at him. but no, i think i would recognize him. or maybe it was the cas-wear that threw me off. i hope it's not him. i want it to be some hot new guy! the dude behind me hasn't even glanced in my direction since he's been here for the last 2 weeks. now, my desk is in a position where everyone who goes to the bathroom on this floor has to pass me. so just as i was thinking, well, maybe we'll cross eachother at the water coolor (so office space), or the bathroom. and just as i'm pondering these crucial points..who walks by?? he almost missed me. but he did a double-take. again the eye contact. it's becoming comical now! so now he knows where i work!! like my desk and everything. and can make excuses to pass by me! yee-haw.
samira and i looked in the Y&R directory and he wasn't in there, so he must be an intern. comme moi.
hooollllty CRAP he just walked by again! WHY-OH-WHY have i never seen him before?!?! is this his first day or something? no, he wouldn't be so cas on the first day. have i simply been blind? this is AMAZINGGGGGG.
i mean, there are hot people that work here. but not the superfluous amount you would expect at an ad agency. plus, NO ONE has ever shown a smidgen of interest in me. besides asking me to translate shit, people don't find extra reasons to talk to me. except the bof dude in the mail room who always finds a reason to call me to clarify the addresses on my envelopes, as if i write in chicken scratch. nonetheless, i meant no one interesting. ahhhhhhhh.
WORK JUST GOT A LITTLE MORE INTERESTING!!!!!
besides that, romeo called me monday night. he seems like a really nice guy. vraiment gentil is all i can think of. plus, he lives near couronnes which is so close to me. could be convenient. hah, no, not in that..way. well.. no i mean, it's cool to have friends in walking distance. anyway, i'll probably have a drink with him on friday. see how that goes. leakhena was very encouraging of this notion, she probably recognizes the fact that i'm a loner who needs a boyfriend. grave.
speaking of leakhena, she's pretty sure about going back to new york in december. noooooooooooooooooo. so sad! so sad! i'm going to be super lonely. like a lonely loner in a lone city, feeling lonesome. blach.
have to buy my ticket to go home. will be in new york from 22 dec - 11 jan. fun!
ok so now i'm getting paranoid. what if it is the guy that sits behind me? but noooo why would he be all glance-y and seemingly interesting in me after all this time. and why isn't he sitting behind me? can't be him. can't be. it's someone different. definately. ok so he HAS to ask me to go out to lunch. i need a reason to go to the "achat d'art" section. no can do. i have no such reason to go there. damn. maybe he'll come to the bathroom again. whooooooo.
see ladies, this is why we cannot leave the house looking and feeling like crap. YOU NEVER KNOW! you have to be prepared for any sort of encounter. cause then atleast you can have some confidence and be like, phew, atleast today is a pretty-day. everyday should be a pretty day. especially if your single. (and lonely).
sortof bad news: haven't ran since saturday, and probably won't until friday. that's giving me a whole week to recup. but the fact that my shoes are dead, and will be until my mom gets here in 2 weeks is discouraging. my leg still hurts. (now even more since i was tagging along and running to catch up with the dude in my heels which gave me shin splints?!). PLUS, i have this unsupported fear that taking a week off, or longer, will revert me back into a state of sedentary crappiness. i mean, i feel toned and relatively in shape. and this is in part due to the fact that i've been eating healthier AND running 20-30 miles a week. so when i eliminate half of that equation i get worried. so rediculous. maybe i'll go swimming! get some cross-training in.
it's 11 and i have done NOTHING this morning. love this job. love this building....
