Thursday Thirteen #30

5 October 2006 by kristarella

Thursday Thirteen
Thirteen things about my husband, in honour of his birthday.

1. He is quite ambivalent, verging on dislike, towards birthdays.

2. He is very intelligent.

3. When he was younger he read encyclopedias at bedtime.

4. He looks like Tom Hanks.

5. At school some guys called him Mr Bean because they thought he looked like Rohan Atkinson.

6. He likes to make people laugh, or at least smile.

7. He’s a brown belt in karate.

8. He’s very brave – he bought me engagement ring all by himself and asked my father’s permission.

9. He’s very patient, he has to be to cope with me!

10. He likes to be on time, ironic because I’m always rushed and often running late.

11. He plays the piano very well. I look forward to when we have a place suitable for a piano and he can learn more songs and play more.

12. He’s doing a PhD in computers, he’s most probably the reason I am into computers so much these days.

13. Possibly best of all he’s a Christian, he trys to love me like Christ loved us (and he does a very good job being self-sacrificing) and I don’t have to worry about his eternal destination.

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).
