Gossip gossip

People just love to talk, don't they?

I actually had a pretty good night out on my own at the Hard Rock Cafe Bangkok. I even met my friend the barman. I hadn't seen him in months. Well, now home and just got a phone call from a certain someone. Well, a few weeks ago, I was informed that I have become the latest topic at the pubs I frequent. A topic about me and that certain someone.

That certain someone is a very well known person in the pubs. He is married to a Thai. I am a pretty good customer. And now people have been talking about me and him being a bloody couple. We are NOT a couple. He told me just now that when I walked in the pub last Friday, people said to him.. "Oh there she is".. "Hey that's your lover".. etc etc.

He said.. the bar staff and all.

Weird though. No one ever talked to me like that. Even though I've noticed more bar staff seem to know my name. Even the new ones.

Oh boy.. I really don't know what to do now.

My dear friends told me that if I disappeared from the pubs, then I did admit I did something wrong. While that certain someone wants me to disappear for a while so the shite will fade away.

I'm confused.

I actually spent the whole night talking to my friend - Rose, and the former love of my life. But that didn't help. People still talked.

At one point, the former love of my life started a new conversation like this..

"You should really get a boyfriend. Get married."
"To whom?!?"
"It shouldn't be too difficult for you. You're quite good looking. You're intelligent. You're funny.. witty.. sexy. Just lose a few kgs. Your breasts might get smaller. But you'd look better. (Pause)... You know what, if you lose 2 kgs, I'll marry you."
"Give me 2 weeks."
"Make it 3 kgs. 6 lbs."
"Deal?"
"Deal"

And we shook hand.

Now I am on a mission.
