For about a year I had a rather tedious crush on a guy in a shop. Such an embarrassing thing to admit, but that’s what ‘blogging’ is for, yes? Anonymous confessions. Therapy.
I assumed that he had left as I had not seen him for months. The other day I popped in to purchase a little something. And who should be at the till? Oh, only Shopman, the love of my life! As I approached he looked up and said, “Oh, hi! How are you?” And not even in the faux I’m-pretending-to-care-because-I’ll-get-a-bollocking-from-my-boss-if-I-don’t sort of way. He genuinely recognised me. I did the polite “I’m fine thanks” thing that you’d say even if you were just about to jump in front of a bus.
We got chatting. He told me that it was his last day...I was never to see him again...I handed him over the money with shaking hands (yes, honest to God! This is how sad I am). I even dropped my purse because I was so nervous. I am truly Muppet of the Moment.
And yet I do think that he liked me...In that way.
Once the transaction was over I simply wished him luck and left.
I wish I’d at least told him that I thought he was a handsome sort of chap.
Sigh. Swoon.

And in other departments of Wildey’s world:
I was set to head off to Scotland for university...but I chickened out. Might go next year.
Job-wise my air of (what I considered to be) mildly amusing self-deprecation seems to have convinced my manager that I am incompetent. Well that’s just great.
Anyway, I’ve got other things to stress about. Apparently it’s nearly Christmas. I ought to start panic-buying shit for presents about now...

I had a huge crush on a guy in HMV in my "yoof"...his name badge said he was called Justin...I used to doodle his name when I should have been studying for my "A" levels! I would spend every free period loitering around in there swooning! Eventually I plucked up some courage and sent him a Christmas card and we ended up "going out" for a while. He turned out to be a bit of a drip though!
Kid's do know some amazing words! Dan described a girl he fancies at school as BUFF the other day....and Rachel recently asked me what a TESTICLE was!!
You know I took a "year out" before University in 1986...and I am still in it! It is by far the greatest regret of my life but I fell into the trap of being financially solvent and couldn't face the hardship...DO NOT LET THIS HAPPEN TO YOU...I am forty now and mature and wise and worldy...but I still talk bollocks...so feel free to ignore me if you like!
I have seriously also been worrying about Christmas this week too...all the presents to buy and wrap and all the bloody cards to write to people whom I generally don't even like...and September isn't even out! Glad its not just me!!
