...... I SPOKE TO BLOCKBUSTER GUY !!!!! OMG. ....Ok - the other week I actually ran into him in Kmart. I was there with my son looking at some shoes for him. I turn into the kids shoe aisle and there he is! OMG! So, I had this whole 'line' I was going to use on him...well..ok....the line was actually 'hey there Blockbuster Guy'..creative I know. But, he was on the bloody phone!! So we just hovered in the aisle silently. Correction, I was silent, he was talking on phone. At one stage he came right over next to me to look at some runners. I think he was just trying to smell me.
So...that was that. THEN last week I decided to just go to friggin' Blockbuster and try to start a conversation with him. I walked in and we did the usual 'Hi'....'Hey' routine and I found a suitable DVD - Journey to the Centre of the Earth 3D.
Firstly I looked like a dick as I took two of the cases instead of one and tried to cover it up with a piss weak joke. Then...he asked how many pairs of 3D glasses I needed. Hmmm...I had to have a think about that one. I started thinking out loud about whether I should watch it or not and that it might make me feel sick with all the motion and such. I also pointed out that the kids had already seen it but they'd want to see it again and so with two kids and one ME that would be THREE pairs of glasses.
Notice how I subtly managed to point out that there is no...HIM? That it is just me and the kids? Then something quite bizarre and unexpected happened - he spoke back. Actually he didn't just speak back he like....started a whole conversation with me. He told me that HE took his kids to Movie World in QLD and that his daughter (she's 4) totally freaked out at the Shrek 3D thingemy. HE took his kids. Could this mean there is no Mrs Blockbuster Guy? Maybe.
And so begins a new era in my 6 year crush (nearly 7 years) on the Blockbuster Guy. We are now officially - speaking.
Stand by more scintillating progress reports.....

Speaking is good Frankie. That's a step in the right direction and who know's where it'll lead too. Anything's possible. ;o)

6-7 years Frankie!
Glad you're now speaking, may your next words be asking him out, be brave! xx
An update!! whooohooo thank you!
Oh is sounded so romantic, I think speaking is good too. It's awesome.
YOu had a crush on him for 6 years??? Heck you are patient.
And nice things are that movies always have to go back ....
Woohoo Frankie! Can't wait for the next update...we just hope it doesn't take 6 years...lol...he...he...he...
Hey...what kinda dreams do you have about him (or are they x-rated and you can't share?)?
Frankie - at this rate you'll be 80 before you have your first date ! However, any progress is good. You should google him and see if he has a blog and maybe he's talking about you in much the same way... wouldn't that be funny !! Good luck with the diet - I hate carb withdrawal headaches...
holy crap! 7 years?! Girl! What a long concentration span you have - I am all together far too fickle for that! ;p
Good luck with the ketosis thinger - looking forward to cheering you on from the bloggie sidelines.
Meanwhile - love that your office are in on it too. SUpport (even if it does involve some teasing) is so important!
OMG Frankie, you deserve a fricken medal for being patient for 6 years!! Now the trick is to keep the ball rolling so that conversation becomes more frequent - you so need to find out if there is a Mrs BB guy.
Good luck with the Ketosis stuff - keep us posted on how you find it. I can do the low carb thing, but God help anyone who tries to remove caffeine from my life!!!
Happy easter :)
