An Awesome Elevator Exchange

I traveled over to South Quad last night to visit my roommate from last year, the lovely YZ, and had a bit of an issue with entering the elevator. No big deal, just typical Andrea behavior, but slightly embarrassing. Not that embarrassing really gets to me, considering I am actually a walking embarrassment to myself since I am highly uncoordinated and tend to make comments to people I don't even know...yikes. Maybe I should work on that...
Anyways. So we're on the first floor attempting to get up to the sixth floor. The elevator bings open and two dudes get in, then the doors start to close when YZ goes in (but opens again), and then I followed after her, but the doors had already started to close again causing me to slam into the one, yell out an 'Ow!' and then realize that there were other people in the elevator. So this was followed up by a thorough explanation of how I am secretly terrified of the doors closing on me and then the elevator actually still moving while I'm stuck in the doors, etc. etc. Boy #1 then commented on what a coordinated move I had just made, so I had to reply with yet another explanation of how I'm not coordinated on land...and that it makes life a bit difficult. Hahahahaha oh my goodness. Thank god the elevators move quickly in SQuad and that I can babble on and on and on and on...I officially talked through the entire ride about ridiculous things that no one else really needs to know about...and continued it on the way out of the elevator. It was a really great thing that they didn't get off on the same floor as we did...
The upside is that one of the boys, Boy #1, thought I was funny and chuckled the whole way up...the other one, mmm not so much. He seemed to be rather terrified and gave me the "Why Is This Crazy Chick Not Taking Her Meds?" Look. Oops! Sorry sir! Didn't mean to frighten...I just feel the need to verbalize things...and I absolutely hate those awkward silent rides in elevators. If I'm going to share oxygen with multiple people in a very small space, it's fun to at least have a semi-comical exchange, or at least a friendly one. Then again, I'm pretty sure I've been intimidated by some outrageous people on the elevator in my day, so who's to say I've never pulled the Boy #2 Look? Hard to say.
Hard. To. Say.
