Giddy as a schoolgirl

I stumbled into work this morning ten minutes late and damp from the rain, but I DON'T CARE! The supercute long-bearded bear at my el stop parted his ruby-red lips and actually spoke to me! I've been stalworshipping him from afar for over a year now, but he has an earlier schedule than me, so I haven't seen him since I settled into a summer slump of just-in-time arrivals.
Today the southbound trains were horribly backed up, so there he was, waiting just beyond where I normally board. Do you believe I even had a chat-up line selected for just such a fabulous opportunity? Do you think I used it? No: I was hopelessly tongue-tied, so I just stood gawping (discreetly, mind you!) as he paced a square mere feet in front of me, allowing me to ogle him from all angles.
I know he knows I do this, but I still haven't figured out how he feels about it; that's what holds me back. But today, everything changed! As my train neared, there was an announcement about the southbound delays which brought a wry smile to his lips. He caught my eye and shook his head. As I moved toward the door, I said, "You weren't in a hurry anyway, were you?" He smiled wider and said, "Nope!"
It was like being stabbed in the gut by a pink Nerf arrow from Hello Kitty's quiver. Heart-shaped butterflies!
I think I may finally have pieced together his itinerary: He boards at Jarvis, gets out at North Chinatown to pick up some bakery goods (which were conspicuously in his hand this morning), and then reboards at my stop. Don't worry: I promise to use this hard-won intelligence only for the greater happiness of all mankind!

This much cuteness could result in David Hasselhoff's return to your blog.
