Have you watched the Wicked movie yet?
No…
But you keep wearing the shirts.
How do you know that I keep wearing the shirts?
I have intel…
I know you do, you fuckin’ STALKER.
(Laughing) But seriously, why do you do that?
Do what?
You haven’t WATCHED the WICKED MOVIE. Why do you keep WEARING THE SHIRTS?! With Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo’s faces on it?!
I don’t know. I like the colours. They’re cool people.
BE. HONEST…
(LOL)…
Nicole…
Oh, wow. Parental voice. Fuck.
Why do you keep wearing the shirts if you haven’t watched the movie? Have you seen the musical?
(Snorting laughter) No…
(About to roll around laughing with crying tears) WHY. DO YOU. KEEP WEARING. THE FUCKING WICKED SHIRTS. WHEN YOU HAVEN’T EVEN SEEN THE FUCKING MOVIE OR THE FUCKING MUSICAL?!?!?!!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!?!
BECAUSE I LIKE THE ATTENTION THAT I GET FROM WEARING THE SHIRT, OKAY?! PEOPLE STOP ME IN MY TRACKS AND WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT!!! AND BECAUSE I WAS SMART ENOUGH TO BE ONLINE WHEN IT WAS FIRST RELEASED AND I COULD SEE THE LITTLE ICON THAT SAID “THIS SHIRT IS SELLING OUT QUICK” SO I JUST ORDERED IT!!! OKAY?!?!?!!?!?
(Wide-eyed) I wasn’t expecting that answer.
What?! Why?!?!
I don’t know… I just wanted to dig. I had no idea WHY do you keep wearing the shirt of a movie or musical that you haven’t even seen?!?!?!
Do you even LIKE Ariana Grande?!?!
I don’t particularly DIS-like her… I’m not a die hard fan… I know more about the salacious gossip surrounding her love life than any of her creative projects.
(Nodding) You like celebrity gossip.
I don’t NEED it… I just… dabble in it, sometimes… not these days. I haven’t been following any of it recently AT ALL.
I know.
How do you know?
Because you haven’t updated your Tik Tok for days, and days and days. And you’ve gone private on there. You’ve really left that… “community” of gossipers.
Yeah, maybe…
Oh? Not maybe?
Well who knows. I could just decide that 2025 is the year I’m gonna be a celebrity gossip YouTuber — who’s going to stop me?
You’re right. Nobody can stop you. Do whatever you want. Start a YouTube channel covering celebrity gossip.
LOL. I’m not going to actually do it.
Good. (Phew!)
LOL…………………………….
Are you ever going to watch the Wicked movie?
I don’t know. Maybe when the second one is out and it’s all on streaming and then I can enjoy a marathon of both from the comfort of my own home.
Ahh. So that’s what you want. To enjoy it all in one go, from the comfort of your own home?
Yes. I think that would be better.
Okay… (nodding… thinking…)
What?!
Well, I wanted to ask you to go see the Wicked movie together but now you said you want to wait for streaming, so I guess you’re probably not even that interested in that storyline, even though — logically, many people would think that you would LOVE the Wicked movie. It’s colourful, it’s got Ariana, it’s got witches — don’t you love witches?! But you genuinely don’t seem that into it… like, it’s just not resonating.
Yeah. I don’t give a fuck about Wicked.
(LOL)… WHY?!?!!?!?!?!? WHAT. IS THE. LOGIC?!?!?!
BECAUSE — I FUCKING HATED THE MUSICAL KIDS IN HIGH SCHOOL WHO TREATED MUSICALS LIKE IT WAS THE MOST FUCKING IMPORTANT THING IN THE WHOLE FUCKING WORLD WHEN THE REST OF US ARE TRYING TO LIVE OUR LIVES, AND STUDY, AND PLAY SPORT, AND DO GOOD IN CHOIR, AND BADMINTON, AND OTHER THINGS! AND IT’S NOT ALL ABOUT THE FUCKING. MUSICALS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(Really, really huge smile) I… did not know this about you. Like, anyone reading this right now. I’m learning this in real time. I didn’t know this about you.
No you fucking didn’t!
You said you participated in high school musicals.
YES. AGAINST MY WILL.
(Both bursts into laughter)
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA….
