Mirror Maze

Although there were no immediate sparks between Dikottir and me, we continued to chat on Hinge. Unlike many of the other men I chatted to, Dikttori wasn't very consistent in his messages over Hinge. Occasionally, a day or two would pass before I'd receive a response from him. Supposedly it was because he'd draft a response and forget to send it through or Hinge would glitch on his android phone.

Whatever the reason, he wasn't consistently spamming me with messages, which was a nice change of pace because I'm often playing video games or writing up blog posts or editing my stories, and leaving my phone far away from me. Something that most would regard as abnormal for a Millennial, but the only time I take my phone is when I'm dying of boredom and don't have a convenient book lying around. In fact, my mother uses her phone far more than I do and you can see it in the battery health.

Still, I thought it best to get to know Dikottir a little better. After all, I'm a slow burn type of person. It's only when I've become friends with someone and known them for a quite a while before I start to properly open up.

While they say that absence makes the heart grow fonder, I find the opposite holds true when you're first trying to get to know someone. Shocking, I know, coming from an introvert who never seems to leave the sanctity of the house.

So, when the the PowerHouse Museum featured the Kaleidoscope exhibit, I asked Dikottir if he was interested. This was, after all, the man who had suggested checking out Oh! Bento and who had earlier gone twice to an Air Crash/ Seance exhibition at the PowerHouse.

Thankfully, Dikottir hadn't been to Kaleidoscope just yet and was open to checking it out. After arranging a date amenable to the two of us, we bought our tickets online separately.

I arrived early to the date, mostly because I needed to roam around the city a little in order to buy a Father's Day gift for my stepfather. Kyndaris, I hear you international readers ask, wasn't Father's Day in June? Well, no. In Australia, it's celebrated on the first weekend of September. Which was when Dikottir and I went on our date to the Kaleidoscope.

Given the fact that my stepfather and I weren't on talking terms, I wasn't certain how much effort I ought to put into present buying. But I knew I wanted to do something better than buying him a pair of underwear like my mother. After all, I'm a pretty observant individual (at least I like to think so) and knew he had an interest in taking photos. Whether the photos he took were good or not, I couldn't say. It's not like he showed me.

And it was the easiest of his hobbies to buy for as his ones included playing sport, reading online stories or playing mahjong on his phone.

By the time I rocked up to Kaleidoscope, I'd purchased a cleaning kit and a strap for my stepfather.

Along the way, I stopped by Anime Kaika. From the name alone, it should come as no surprise that the store is where people can anime merchandise. Inside, three Nenderoids caught my eye: Kingdom Hearts III Riku, Phoenix Wright and Miles Edgeworth.

While I was tempted to buy at least one of them, in order to add to my collection of figurines (which, albeit isn't very extensive), I withheld on the purchase. After all, I am a woman with a mortgage and limited funds. I am, as well, a responsible adult who spends her money on normal adult things. Like groceries, books, video games, books, work clothes, books, video games and other necessary items.

Anyways, after a quick jaunt through the city, I arrived outside the Kaleidoscope exhibit near the PowerHouse museum. It wasn't long before Dikttori joined me and the two of us entered the mirror maze. Almost immediately, I discovered a trick to help differentiate the critical path and what were a series of reflections: staring at the ground and seeing where the bottom of the mirror was. Dikottir, impressed by my talents, informed me I'd no doubt be an excellent competitor of the hit Netflix show Squid Game or its final survivor.

Something I very much doubted because some of the games played were pure luck rather than skill. And I'd no doubt die in some gruesome manner one way or the other.

Not to mention the fact that I'd probably also be one of the first to turn into a zombie if the world descended into a zombie apocalypse.

After a good thirty minutes where Dikottir and I were thoroughly turned around, we managed to escape Kaleidoscope, taking photos of what it looked like in the daytime and the impressive evening light show.

From Kaleidoscope, we hoofed it to World Square where we enjoyed some Ippudo ramen (it was a cold September night) and chatted about the upcoming Voice referendum (which by the time this post goes up will have ended) and other social causes that we believed strongly in. After filling our stomachs with ramen, Dikottir tried to locate a Thai dessert place. But unlike most men I knew, he was surprisingly terrible at directions, and I had to step in to slowly guide him to Mango Coco.

Unfortunately, the line there was huge so we abandoned our initial plans of dessert and headed for a bubble tea place on George Street instead. As we walked, we talked about work and our lives, before we stopped by a busker playing anime, game and classical music on his portable keyboard.

Just like that, the night was over.

Did I think Dikottir and I were a good match?

Well, he certainly had a decent job and we shared similar sentiments when it came to politics (which, honestly, probably isn't something that should be raised during dates but there it is), but I can't say if I felt anything for him beyond the fact he seemed a decent and affable man. Dikottir was certainly more educated than many of the others I'd met and seemed wiser than his thirty odd years.

It begs the question why a man like him hadn't settled down earlier with a nice girl.

But it also makes me wonder if I am aromantic as well as asexual. Or if perhaps my romantic interests lie elsewhere. Dating women, however, is a difficult endeavour and I'm not sure if I'll ever find the right person for me to prove or disprove my suspicions.

I know, of course, that I can obsess over people and feel deep platonic care and worry for my friends...but where does one draw the line between friendship and romance? It's a question I'm still trying to figure out. Which is difficult for me as I always feel like I'm a step behind.

Still, that hasn't stopped me from shipping Maddox and Ashlyn from High School Musical the Musical the Series. I'm not sure why I started watching the show but it tickles a part of my brain. It's almost like a guilty pleasure.

And I've had many over the years.

After all, why DID I watch all the seasons of Pretty Little Liars and even Ravenswood spin-off? I watched all the seasons of Once upon a Time, too! And Glee!

Gah, why am I exposing myself like this? Forget those last few paragraphs! Strike it from your memory!

The point of this post, and my dating adventures, is that finding love is hard. And while I wish I could know deep in my bones if I like-like someone, I'm the type that will somehow convince myself it was all in my head and switch such feelings off.

Or, perhaps, by the time the year is done, I'll have fallen head over heels in love with someone and be singing a different tune.

Radio Faux Show Volume 2, Number 30 (August 21, 2022): Trouser Press Record Guide

This Week’s Theme: Trouser Press Record Guide If you know the Faux Show then you know that my favorite music reference is Joel Whitburn’s Billboard Book of Top 40 Hits. However, there are a lot of great reference books out there that were used by hundreds of thousands of people before the internet became such a useful research tool. Owing to my past life as a deejay at a free format college…

Ippudo have a plant-based ramen which is only available in certain branches. I tried it out in the Lumine Shinjuku department store.

Unfortunately I can’t recommend it - nothing in the bowl was flavourful, especially not the soup, and the noodles seemed undercooked and doughy. However there are plenty of other options on the top two floors of Lumine.
