Tearing down windows and doors, but I still can't find eyes like yours

Sitting in the computer lab before chem again.

I've come to a very important conclusion: Shelley is batshit insane.

Seriously.

Bat. Shit. Insane.

But we'll come back to that.

Tuesday at work was interesting. I found out Mark quit Monday morning, which makes me infinitely happy. Seriously. Javi gave me his store key and deposit key this morning, so I'm one step closer to becoming a real assistant manager (I've already heard my name float around while people are comparing managers, which is cool if somewhat weird). It was a fun shift - Allison and Kenny fountaining, Tracy, Shelley, Ashley, and Erica carhopping. Tracy opened, so she left around 1 or 2. Ashley was supposed to leave around 2, but Ray had to take Javi home (he opened for Mark) and take him to get a new battery for his car; they left me in charge. Which makes sense, since I'm an assistant now. Anyway, I went ahead and sent Ashley home as well, since it was like 2:30 and labor was high. That left Shelley and Erica carhopping. Shelley told me she hadn't gone out with Lilie Monday night as planned, but they had talked and had some interesting things to tell me.

Apparently:

  • I'm insocialable
  • I don't know how to act around people
  • I'm shy
  • I have poor phone etiquette
  • I don't talk enough on the phone, leaving long, awkward silences that some people (Shelley) feel the the need to ramble to fill


Hmm.
I could have told you most of those.

She also told me that she liked me, but that because Lilie was going to give it a shot, she wasn't going to. Or something like that. She also said that Lilie had said that "she could have me" which makes no sense given the previous sentence. So I don't know.

Anyway.

Shelley told me Lilie had invited her to go to the movies with us last night, but that Shelley said 'no' because she thought that I wanted it to be 'special-time' for Lilie and me, or a date, or something like that. I dissuaded her of that notion - we're just friends, right? - and told her she should come. Then she said something about not wanting to see me and Lilie being all smoochy-smoochy. Right. I then told her that I didn't really plan to 'make any moves' since we're just friends and all, but she said that it was obvious that I was infatuated with Lilie since day one. Which isn't quite true - they're misconstruing a comment I made the first time I saw her.

And, in case you're worried that all this "she said that she said" type stuff is confusing, don't worry. A) I was there, and I can't follow it very well either, and B) it gets worse. Just wait 'til all three of us are together. Which we were last night. And I'll talk about that later, since it's time to go to class.
