Overseas again

30 May 2006 by kristarella

Hehe, I just got another call from those stupid phone people. This is the fourth call in less than two days and the second one I’ve picked up. *bust* He said “How are you?” I said “I’ve been better.” He said “Oh, that’s great.” Really, is it? I would have thought it would be great if I’d never been better. Then he mentioned the new Nokia mobile phone and I said “Look, I’m not interested, thank you very much.” Then I hung up! Ooh, I feel so liberated. *evil*

    Kris-I have a confession-it’s really ME calling you-and you’ve hung up on me!!!

    Ok. So I’m not a man, and also I’m not trying to sell you anything, but I AM overseas!!!

    😉

    I don’t even pick up the phone anymore…

    Hehe, you’re funny Mags! 😀

    I figured, we have an answering machine so if I just let it ring like I did yesterday, if they were someone I wanted to speak to then they can leave a message. I’m pretty sure it’s the same one guy that keeps calling too so he better have the message now!

    You know what I do???

    I practice my Indian Accent for a sec, pic the phone up and speak in an Indian accent the whole time…and when the “punch line” is told I go “Oh Holy Pupadums…thats a good deal eh?” and yeah…usually gets them away…haven’t had a call for a while =)

Had a great Saturday at the GKR Karate State Title Had a great Saturday at the GKR Karate State Titles! I was a sub for @jamesxuereb.me in the Blue Flame Dragons thanks to his sprained ankle; we won first round and came fourth overall!
I did a bunch of judging and officiating, which was really good.
I didn’t place in my individual events, but had a very fun final round of kumite (sparring).

Did some stamping this evening. Love it! I wish I’d done some pages in other ink colours before I dismantled the stamps 😂
