the fun continues...

if you haven't read my last post...you have to read that one before this or you won't understand...just take my advice...do it!

ok, this morning i worked desk again and had another lock out, so i called christi and she laughed about my not calling mark. later i was telling katie, and all the sudden mark walks in, when i'm in mid-sentence, but i managed to switch topics. when he walked away, jess told him (and i think made it sound like i was upset over it) and so mark came back with this sheepish grin on his face, looked at me and said, Hi Melanie...it made me grin and i said Hi mark. then he said he had been totally kidding and i chuckled, told him i knew and that we'd laughed pretty hard over it. i think he might have been a little embarrassed. who cares though, it was funny. then later, oh yes, there's more...later, i was in my room, ready go down for yet another shift at desk and he (mark) called saying i didn't need to. lisa comes in shortly after that, babbling away, asking if we wanted to go downstairs to see if mark was there. i told i didn't need to cause he'd called me and lauren flies flawlessly into this bit about how i have a date with him tonite. lisa flips out, squeals, hugs me and starts doing what i can only describe as a happy dance. we let her run with it for a little bit, then...when i couldn't contain my laughter any longer, i informed her that she was the most gullible person i had run into in a while. she seemed slightly disappointed, but decided that she wanted to continue the fun, so she calls ashley, telling her to come to my room cause we've got something to tell her. ashley makes it up to my room in remarkable time and lisa dives into the story about my 'date' for the evening. ashley's jaw dropped open, she stammered for a second, then said...'I hate you! i can't believe you have a date with mark!!!' this whole time i'm just casually sitting in my chair, leaning against the window, soaking this in, and trying not to give it away. then ash starts asking me questions...wanting full details, and making comments about how we'd be a item and he'd be in my room all the time and so on, so my skills as a story teller are put to the test. i passed. lisa then flops onto my bed with a sigh and says, 'yeah, too bad it's not real'. ashley was a bit confused by that, but caught on quickly when we all started laughing. she then got a funny look on her face and said with a slight sigh, 'i really didn't hate you melanie, i was really happy for you and i wish it were for real...it would be so fun if you were really going out with him.' so that was jolly fun. i'll never hear the end of this, but i'm sure i'll survive. well...that's all...bubye.
