Harry Potter

As promised... The story of Harry Potter.

Once upon a time... A boy walked into work. He was the grossest, weirdest looking dork I've seen in awhile and certainly the worst I'd seen at my job. As I was encompassingly in love with someone else and dating another co-worker, I regarded this boy as possibly, maybe having friend potential -- but nothing else. When I found out that he was anglophone (a fact he denies), I immediately decided that we would be BFFs. We sat next to each other and I would go on and on and on about the two men in my life and he would sit and listen. The chemistry was undeniable but I, like the snobby bitch that I was in 2009, ignored it and all those around us who told me that we would be perfect together.

June 9th, 2009 was the day I realized that I was in intense-like with this boy. Wow. Like... Wow! I began to shift my attention away from the other men I worked with (I had stopped seeing one of the guys by that point) and focused on him.

Things were going well -- I was glad. We'd email and have lunch and talk at work and people kept asking when we'd go out. I, of course, was coy and responded "I don't think he likes me"

Then I became friends with Girl. She's important in the story because she's as boy-crazy as I am and we would often discuss guys. I poured out my feelings about him and she told me about this guy she just started to see. We talked and talked and talked about our men one day at work for over an hour -- it was great! I decided that night to tell Harry Potter that I liked him.

He told me he was kind of in a relationship.

I asked if she worked with us -- he said no. I disclosed all of this to Girl who told me that she was fed up with dating men at work because of the gossip blah blah blah.

Anywho... Anyone who can guess where this story is heading wins cookies because I sure as hell would never have guessed that Harry Potter and Girl were dating.

Uh yeah...

Anyways. They broke up and Harry Potter became a GIANT douchebag who's in love with She says that she will never, ever date him. We'll see where this goes but I hope it ends well :)
