Bondi

It’s not possible…

What’s not possible, My Love?

(Laughing) It’s NOT. POSSIBLE. You can’t be that much of a schemer!!! For THAT MANY YEARS??!?!?!?!?!

(Cackling) What?! What are you talking about?!?!

Bondi…

Bondi?

Bondi, in Sydney.

Bondi, in Sydney…?

I was there at a Starbucks with a friend. A female friend. And then, she suddenly was a bit alarmed, “Woah — Those guys over there, they keep STARING at you!”

Me, turning around, not sure who they are…

“Do you know them?!”

“No…?” I don’t think so…? (But in the clurrrb, we all fam?!)

We left the Starbucks. We went to another building in the area. A friend’s wedding reception but it was a blocked off section of that venue. So like, other people — any rando from the public — could’ve followed me in. Could’ve been stopped by the staff “Sorry, this area is a private function. But you can sit over there.”

(Laughing)

What?!

You’ve been watching too many Korean dramas!

Or… you were my STALKER!? And you were WATCHING ME THE WHOLE TIME?!?!!?!?!?

(Laughing) How would that even make sense?!

Because… then… someone called the groom, to go meet some friends, they weren’t expecting to meet. It was like, what kind of Universal synchronicities, coincidences? It would’ve been… there’s some facts there, that could link these connections — but the stats are so low. The percentages so unlikely. In that moment, on that day?

And then you got to know the GROOM via those other mutual FRIENDS?! And you didn’t disrupt ME or the BRIDE or our side of the friends just chilling and relaxing in that reception area?!

(Laughing his head off) Why would I know the groom? Even through mutual friends?!

The groom knows some pop stars…

OH REALLY!?!?!?!?!?!? THE GROOM KNOWS SOME POP STARS!?!?!?!?!?!?

(Laughing)

Which pop stars?!?!?!?!

As if I’m going to write it out on a PUBLIC BLOG!!!

Tell me!!! Which pop stars?!?!?!?

They’re not your genre.

Oh.

So that’s why it’s unlikely. It feels unlikely. They’re not your genre pop stars.

Who would’ve known that the groom knows some pop stars? Out of “our” usual mutual friends?

Nobody. They’re different circles…

Oh… so if I somehow knew someone ELSE… who knew THAT GROOM… because of a pop star connection… then it’s a totally different COINCIDENCE of mutual friends…?

Yes… (Laughing)

Is the groom in the music industry?

NO! That’s why it’s so SURPRISING!!!

(Chuckles) Can you give me any other clues?

No… I really can’t for a public blog… that would be very irresponsible of me. That would be… just… in poor taste, really.

(Crossing arms) I can’t believe you’re protecting a whole other pop star, and yet, you just write so flagrantly all over this blog, metaphorically, expressionist and exaggerated, about me!

(Laughing) They’re not your genre!!! And I haven’t met them personally. I don’t care to. I don’t know the groom that well. I’m on the bride’s side. It’s got nothing to do with me.
