Yes, my Darling? What is on your mind now?
Did you… follow me… when I lived in… that other apartment…?
For the sake of this blog — no — it’s all fiction. What I’m about to respond to, giggle and smirk at, and whatever else unravels in your imagination — it’s all made up in your mind only.
Why do you suddenly think that I might’ve?
Because… there was a new neighbour… the real estate agent told me… “Oh, he’s a bit of a recluse. He lives by himself, but he’s the one with the motorcycle… apparently he travels a lot, so he’s not around anyway. But when he’s back, he’s back for a couple of weeks at a time…”
Why would the real estate agent tell you all that?!?!?!?!
I can’t remember… I think I was just feeling like, I wanted to know a bit more about my neighbours? I can’t remember how it came up in conversation.
I wasn’t living next door to you. It wasn’t like that.
I know but you were on the same floor… down the end, weren’t you?
(Smirk)
Who the FUCK walks around with a MOTORCYCLE HELMET on their heads the ENTIRE TIME they are walking through the HALLWAY of an apartment block!!! Every time I walked past you, I was like, “That’s so weird he never takes off his helmet”!!!! — EVERY TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(Giggling and cackling)~~~~
Why did you do that?!?! Why didn’t you just take the helmet OFF?!?!!?
I was feeling… shy…. (sheepish grin)….
Shy?!?!!? You were STALKING ME?!?!?! You even rented an apartment in the same BUILDING as me — on the same FLOOR — and you were feeling SHY!??!!?!?
This was even before the Pandemic. Things were murky between us. I didn’t know how to really navigate, even my own feelings… by the time I was finally feeling like, maybe I can take my helmet off and start talking to you… the Pandemic hit. We were supposed to be in lockdown. I flew out — I flew back to my country and quarantined.
What………………………..
Yeah. I couldn’t just fly back and forth like what I was previously doing. Any time I had like, 4 or 5 days off. I just flew overnight. I didn’t mind. I just got to stay… back there… in those apartments… near you… I just chilled. I wasn’t even doing anything. It felt like my “home base” — to chill. Because you were there. You were next-next-door… I felt so good just getting there with my motorcycle, seeing if your car is parked there or not. It always felt good seeing your car parked there. I just felt good to be around you, even if I didn’t physically see you.
But then the Pandemic — we didn’t even have a vaccine yet! You risked EVERYTHING?!?!?!?!
True — but I just… wore a face mask anyway. Gloves. Whatever. I can’t remember how I managed it exactly but I was safe. Then I had to quarantine. I couldn’t leave my country for a long while.
Hmmm… I thought I was going a little loopy during our Queensland lockdown…
Yeah. I really wanted the mutual friends to check up on you.
Yeah they did… we were all still in touch at that time. It was good to have the group chat, during that time…
Yeah. I’m glad you all kept in touch through that. And then Older Brother sent me the screen shots of your conversations.
Ughhh!!! Of course he did……………….
Text from Older Brother:
THAT IS 100% FICTION. I DIDN’T DO NOTHING LIKE THAT!!! LEAVE ME OUT OF THIS!!!
Okay it wasn’t him. Another friend. Another friend sent me all the screenshots of the group chat conversations…
Geez I wonder if there’s now settings in group chats that people can get notified if the conversations are being screen-shotted…………
Hmm… can the technology include that feature?
Of course… you can include anything in the coding back-end… well, not literally anything, but screenshots, yes — just set aside some money for the programmers. They can do it.
Huh… I didn’t know that…
Do you not know… about… the other memes…?
What memes?!
Your “fans” — screenshots of you — in fan conversations — but making memes out of them…?
… what?!
Umm… in real time… now… February 2025… there’s memes… you haven’t seen them?!
(Head tilting)………… no…………………………….?
(Chuckles)… I mean, it’s not too bad, they’re just having fun… just being funny…………
WHAT MEMES?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
I didn’t even click on it, I just saw the preview, just a little thumbnail. I didn’t click into it. I don’t know. But there’s memes… (shrugs shoulders)…
Is it good or bad?!
I don’t know?! It’s open to interpretation?! It’s just a MEME — it’s not that serious!!!
Hmm… I personally — don’t give a shit — but… I have a feeling… the staff won’t like it…
Oh? They won’t?!
No… not too many memes… a little bit, harmless ones for publicity, that’s permissible… but they do try to monitor this. If the memes cross a line — they won’t like it. They’ll try to do as much scrubbing as possible…
(Shrugs shoulders) — I honestly didn’t click into it because — I just felt like, I don’t need to see that. So — I don’t know either… I don’t know exactly what is the full extent of the meme. I just saw a little thumbnail preview — but it does involve your fan conversations…
How did we go from motorcycle helmets to this!?
I don’t know?!!!?!?!?!?!
Okay well… can we go back to happier memories?
Ummm — I don’t know?! How often did you see me before the Pandemic hit?!?!!? Was it every time I walked past you in the motorcycle helmet?! Also — NOW I KNOW WHAT YOUR MOTORCYCLE LOOKS LIKE.
(Giggles) How do you know I still have the same motorcycle?
Okay, fine. I don’t. But — it’s a vibe — I know what “vibe” of motorcycle you like.
What vibe is that?
It’s a pretty big beast. It’s pretty big…. like… BIG… BIIIIIG… motorcycle…
(LOLOLOLOLOL)
Do you wanna ride it with me?!?! (Devilish grin)
(Giggles)… I don’t know… I’m not promising anything yet… not today… I don’t know…
I can wait… I’ve waited all these years… (smirk)
LOL……….. anyways……………. did you enjoy living there? At those apartments? It was a really quaint suburb………….
Yeah, it was “quaint” — yeah, I did like it. When I was briefly there… I liked the vibes… I felt your vibes too… I was just basking in all these vibes… it actually kind of reminds me of my childhood.
Your childhood?
Yeah. Early childhood. I lived in a similar area… it was quaint… not a big, dense city…
It was on the outskirts of Brisbane city. I thought your motorcycle just belonged to a dude who worked IN the city — it’s not implausible that a guy who works in the city decides to rent a little bit further out and just rides in to work every day…
(Giggles) — yeah, it seemed like nobody cared… it seemed like there were many other Millennials too…
Yeah… that area’s being gentrified…?! Is that the right word?!! The apartments aren’t “too expensive” — but — most people who live there are working in the city or near surrounds… but they’d rather live just a little bit further out — just maybe another 10 minutes on the highway — but the rent is significantly cheaper than living in the city… we still get the freedom, and we still get to hang out with friends in the city when we feel like it… and there was also trains, and buses — so many ways to get into the city quite easily but still living further out enough for the rent to be “affordable” — for someone with a city salary… but then… the people who used to live in that area…
What happened to them?
I… don’t know… maybe they’ve been pushed… even farther out… maybe that’s the impact of gentrification? I don’t know exactly…
You had a lot of fun living in those apartments, though. You were finally by yourself. No housemates. Not like Melbourne — Melbourne had so many housemates. So many housemate FIGHTS, too.
Yeah… it was like a quaint-Brisbane single-WOMAN version of the Melbourne life… Melbourne was like, bratty little young-adults… trying to be adults… technically adults, but not really — you get what I mean?! Didn’t you have housemates in Melbourne too?
Yeah. Briefly. Random people. I don’t keep in touch with them. But yeah — those apartments — actually getting to experience that “by myself” as well — I really enjoyed it. There were moments — when that other baby in that apartment wasn’t crying — when it was really really nice and peaceful. It felt really good… especially when I was having my “down time” away from all the crazy things going on in my industry…
And there was a nice view of the mountains.
There WAS a nice VIEW of the MOUNTAINS… yes!!! Australia has so many mountains!?!??!?!
On that side of Brisbane, yes… at least, the views of them… (smiles)…
…
…
…
What was quarantine like?
Boring.
(Chuckles) so what did you amuse yourself with?
Stalking you on social media…
LOL… what?!
You started Tik Tok!!! I was one of your original Tik Tok followers!!!
(LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL)… oh my god that is SO EMBARASSING….
No it’s not!!! I LOVE ALL YOUR ORIGINAL STUFF!!!!
I deleted it. It’s all deleted now…
(Devilish grin)…
Don’t tell me you SCREEN RECORDED AND ARCHIVED EVERY TIK TOK I’VE EVER MADE?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!?
(Giggling and cackling to himsef)
Omg………… what…………. external hard disk……….. are they being stored on?!?!?!?!?!!?
(MORE GIGGLING — HYSTERICAL GIGGLING)
(Shaking her head, but smiling)… I don’t know how I feel about this…
(Big Smiles) — I just watch them whenever I feel like it. Whenever I miss you…
(Sigh)……… Is this what you’re watching on your GIANT IPAD?!?!! Papparazzi have taken photos of you at the airport with a GIANT IPAD?!?!?! THE BIG BIG BIG IPAD?!?!?!?!
It’s technically Samsung, but yes — why not?! — I get to watch your Tik Toks on a BIG TABLET SCREEN on the plane! I love it!!! ^0^
OMG!!! I’m cringing!!! IT’S SO EMBARASSING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Laugh-crying but this time CRYING because of EMBARASSMENT!!!)
Mmm… it’s my favourite thing to do on a flight~~~ ^__^ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤
I really, really hope — people sitting BEHIND YOU — can’t see your fuckin’ SCREEN!!! (LOLOLOLOLOL)
I love you!!!
I love you too… xoxoxoxoxxx
