Is it normal?

Let me ask you; is it normal to watch 7 episodes of Grey's Anatomy in a row with no intention of getting up except the nagging sensation that you have to go to work the next day. If you haven't figured it out, that is how I spent my evening. My eyes and ears never wavering from the TV screen as I absorbed the first 7 episodes and wished I had time to watch the last three.

I did nothing today besides spend a little money at Target, drink coffee, and eat a mean hamburger made by yours truly. The mayo mixed so well with the ketchup and the meat had that scorched outer, raw inner quality that I oh so love. I can thank my ex-boyfriend for really introducing me to the art of the good burger since that is all we ate our entire relationship. I am not trying to appear pretentious, but I consider myself to have a pretty advance palette, but the combination of meat, bun, and condiment can really be an art unto itself.

I worked at a coffee shop for two and half years. The place is small, cute, and has regular client base. It is like a privately owned Starbucks on the corner of a major street with shops, restaurants, and tons of people. The job was amazing at first (while I was still in college) I meet some of my best friends there, but as things go it got complicated. I eventually quit on a pretty sour note, but have since gone back and visited my friends who are still trapped there.
Well anyway that is not really the point of my story, the point is today I went back and saw a customer that for forever I have had the biggest crush on. I can't help the butterflies, the smile, the way my voice turns into something it isn't.
He is a few years older than me and from the small conversation I have had he is really intelligent, funny, and has that shy,dorky quality that I like. We stumble around each other like kids and I made an effort to speak to him today that revolved around really pointless chit chat. Everyone at the coffee shop knows about him and watches me like a hawk when we talk. I use to be self-conscious about it, when your younger you don't want that person to know you like them. However now I could really care less, he needs to ask me out. I have decided for him.
BUT what if it's just a fantasy, what if he really isn't anything good, and he will stop being "LAPTOP" guy and just turn into another big disappointed. It is a definite risk, but I feel like we have been running in circles around each other for two years now. If something is meant to happen, somewhere along the way our paths will cross towards each other not away.

On a different note I bought ink this weekend at Pearl Paint and have every intention of making cards this week. It has been forever since I used India ink and tips, we shall see how I fair.

Oh I love this story, the potential, the butterflies, the throwing caution to the wind and making it clear that he needs to get on with it and ask you out.

I too am attracted to the shy type and it's annoying because they really need PUSHED to get on and ask... maybe that's why I've been single for SO long now! (am deeply hoping it's not because I'm unbearable or weird).

Will be very interested to hear more on the unfolding of this story.
