10 a.m conversation with friend
Her: Is there anyone in your life at the moment?
Me: Weeeell….
Her: Ooooo.
Me: It’s not really anything. He’s cute.
Her: Where did you meet him?
Me: He works at The Bar. It’s nothing.
Her: Are the two of you flirting?
Ten minutes later and she is caught up with every single little detail.
Me: And, guess where he’s from?
Her: Nooooooooo.
Me: Yes.
Her: Nooooooooo.

Conversation with Brother-In-Law
Him: The Man came by The Store on Saturday.
Me: [Being all breezy] Cool.
Him: Yea, we had a long chat.
Me: [Why oh why did I have to be at this bloody exhibition on Saturday!] Cool.
Silence.
Him: Oh, you know what?
Me: What?
Him: He’s moving back to Australia. In February.
Me: [^$%^#$!!!] Cool.

Text message to Best Friend [giggling while I type]: The Man is moving back to Australia. How ironic is that?
Reply[I assume she was giggling as well]: Oh my god! That is so so so funny. It’s like a bad joke from The Universe.

10 a.m telephone conversation with Friend:

Her: Hahahahahaha!
Australia does not mock me, dear readers. She taunts me.

geez what luck! i think that country hates you secretly. but why is the question. what did you ever do to her!? ;)
I know right? I’ve never done anything to her. I’ve never even met her. What’s her problem?
Okay, seriously. Worst luck, ever! I can’t even believe that!!! Eff You AUSTRALIA!!
Heh. Thanks for your support in hating Australia!
oh COME ON!! she’s moving?!?! what the hell! (and how about how i just said “she” instead of he right there?)
sorry my friend. you need to meet a non-aussie man asap. at least he can make your heart flutter for a couple more months. sucks though… blah!
Hehe. Yes please remind me next time I’m gushing about an Australian to STEP AWAY FROM HIM. :)
Seriously?! Seriously!???????
Ha! That’s what I was thinking too.
No. Way. Seriously, were you like an evil emperor in a past life or something? The universe (slash, Australia) definitely seems to be out to get you!!!
That said, I think this means it’s just about time that your karmic debt is repaid and the next one that comes along – good things will happen with him. Right?
Trigger, I love the idea that I may been an evil emperor in a past life. Maybe like Cleopatra, only with less eyeliner. :)
That’s just crazy coincidence, right? right??
Geez. The universe really is playing a cruel joke on you & using Australia as the spring-board.
Have you ever considered *moving to* Australia? I’m curious what the results of that would be in terms of the Universe’s response….
I think the universe would fold into itself and explode if our dear Hope ever moved to Australia.
GAHHHH. Seriously? SERIOUSLY? (Sorry, I had to).
*shakes fist in general direction of Australia
Haha, Australia is just a big tease. lol Love your header photo! So pretty and simple! Love the blog!
i totally get you laughing. it’s so ridiculously ironic its funny!
Australia?! Are you kidding!?
Maybe it’s fate telling you to go there, something is drawing you to that damn country!
Gah.
You know you need to have a torrid affair with him, now, right?
Can’t fight destiny, my dear!
i like the idea of the affair. make use of australia, pay her back for all shes done to you. yes? maybe?
:)
Hope,
I was just reading this blog-http://adifferentvoice.wordpress.com/
and specifically the most recent entry regarding ‘Love Trap.’ Read her thoughts on the Australian guy.
Meanwhile, I know I’m showing my age here, but with the fact that your guy is bald and from Australia– I can’t get the picture of the lead singer of Midnight Oil out of my head!
Don’t worry, Hope, you’ll find your man and when you least expect him.
But this doesn’t mean you can’t make out with him before he goes!
Who knows? Maybe he’ll fall head over heels for you and change his mind! You could stick it to Australia yet!
Or at the very least get a steamy liplock before she taunts you again ;)
