well thanks to you these lonesome blues are the best things in my life

really universe. really?!

*B stands at central desk, filling out vacation request*
Me: Where you going?
B: Hawaii
Me: AWESOME!
C (our dispatcher): Are you taking your girlfriend?
B: Nope! Going with my buddies!
Me: (internal monologue) [muahahahahaha]

so I wander off to my office and pretend to work before going back out to chat with C. B appears a few minutes later and we somehow get in a discussion about growing up in a samll town.

*C and B talk about rural towns and getting to school in the snow*
Me: Oh. Well, I grew up at the beach so I can't go with you there.
B: *smiling that beautiful angelic smile of his* where did you grow up?
Me: A tiny town in California. Cambria.
B: No way.
Me: *confused* Um? Way.
B: I LOVE IT THERE.

Yeah. Turns out that he lived in Monterey for a while (he's originally from Ohio, so I'm not sure how he landed there... or here for that matter)and used to travel down the coast to Cambria. He's going to bring in the pictures that he has to show me. He kept going on and on about staying along Moonstone Beach.

Me: *small voice* um. yeah I grew up three blocks from there.

*B wanders off*

C: *looking at me* what are the odds?
Me: I don't know, but GOD DAMMIT UNIVERSE COULD YOU MAYBE START PAYING OFF ON THESE RIDICULOUS ODDS.

Also, he talked about how much he wanted to go back. Great. Because my ridiculous fantasy life wasn't enough. I can now add going HOME into the equation. *SIGH*
