seriously

Okay, so you guys had to wait longer than the usual fer my comeback(who in the world am I talking to again?), here's my apologies. Don't accept it just yet. I'll waste more of yer time by saying neither have I been jotting down points to log in a journal nor have been thinking up an interesting subject fer discussion. Not to say I've got one foot out the blogger's circle, it's just another writer's block over here and the rust won't go away fer awhile until a current problem comes to mind.

..........

*ring ring*

Alrighty then, here comes the brain lubricant. Some mofo just called my house number. So being the rightful answering party that I am, said hello. The reply was another hello. And pause. Okay. I wanted to make sure the young gentleman or squeaky lady(androgynous voice) was still on the line so I said,...

Me(L):"Hello?"
Dumbass(DA):"Hello?"
L:"...Yes?"
DA:"Hello?"
L:"Yes, hello."
DA:"Hello?"
L:"Hi, who're you looking fer?"
DA:"Hello?"
L:"Who is this?"

At this point, he/she said some name I couldn't make out.

L:"... Uh, I think you have the wrong number."
DA:"Hello?"
L:"Wrong number."
DA:"..."

And then the caller hangs up. I really doubt it was a prank call with the ending silence since I sense the person sincerely dialed the wrong number. That was pretty understandable but the unforgivingly annoying part was the hang-up. Kids, today, we are going to talk about phone etiquette. I'm not one to be mad at being hung up on first before hanging up. This isn't a romantic call. Seriously, it would suffice to declare any form of apology before ending the random conversation. How so rude. People in our country nowadays. Maybe I'm just being anal about the proper way of talking, which is to brush it with a coat of politeness. Sure, there are probably many other factors that can contribute to this situation, like the caller's confidence. Who am I kidding? Rude means rude.

Which leads me on to talk about other forms of random conversations over the phone. Telemarketers. Oooh, I'm sure you've all heard of this one. Credit cards, insurance, and promotions. Who would pick a job like that? Seriously. I'm pretty familiar with the idea of customers being very hard to handle but if you're a telemarketer, you're asking fer it. Junk mail is, at least, tolerable as you can simply dispose of it like a given flyer by escalators of malls and stations. It's another thing altogether to go out of yer way to intrude another person's privacy to persuade the unfortunate soul to increase yer commission. Of course, if you're straightforward enough, you'll just hang up on the bugger but if you're like me and yer political rule #1(hanging up on people is rude) clashed with moral rule #1(hang up on idiots), then they have obviously and successfully wasted yer month's free minutes. Also, if you actually hang up on them, they're still too dull to take a hint and seriously will bother to call you back, deducing to the fact that yer line was "accidentally cut off". Just like the stalkers you never had.

On my personal account, how I take on this kind of situations is, tell the fella I'm currently busy, and get him or her to call me back later while I take note of the number and don't answer after that. And if something like that happens in real life, mostly people requesting you to fill in surveys or selling stuff in aid of some disaster that happened somewhere with the same name of some soup, I just wave my hand in their faces like I'm doing a Jedi mind trick before walking off. It's really cool and it works. Seriously.

OKAY, DONE WITH THE COMPLAINT DECLARATION. IF YOU'RE WONDERING WHY THIS PARAGRAPH IS IN CAPS, IT'S BECAUSE I KNOW SOME OF YOU SKIP IMPORTANT BITS WHEN I TYPE A LOAD OF CRAP NOBODY CARES ABOUT. AND PUTTING IT UP IN BIG LETTERS OUGHTTA CATCH YER ATTENTION, SERIOUSLY. NOW, I HAVE AN IDEA. I'LL MOST LIKELY BE COMING UP WITH MORE POSTS LIKE THIS AND I'D VERY MUCH APPRECIATE IT IF ANYONE WOULD BE BOTHERED ENOUGH TO UTILIZE THE TAGBOARD TO FILL IN YER VIEWS ON THE CURRENT TOPIC. THE DISCLAIMER HERE'S THAT I'M NOT TRYING TO GET MORE HITS, SERIOUSLY. JUST THOUGHT I'D TRY SOMETHING DIFFERENT AND HOPEFULLY SPICE THINGS UP AROUND HERE. AND IT'LL SERIOUSLY MOTIVATE ME TO COME UP WITH MORE SHIT AS WELL, SERIOUSLY.

So, just tell me how you feel against retards on the phone like this or in public. Tell me how irritated you are that I've used "seriously" numerous times. Tell me if you prefer more journalizing or to throw in more pennies fer my thoughts. Tell me if you wanna see more photos, videos and links.

PS: Okay, I remember a little of what I've done since the last post. I completed Final Fantasy Crisis Core and Naruto Ultimate Heroes 2 on the PSP. I caught a coupla movies, including The Dark Knight and Mummy 3 in cinemas, much more at home on my lovable laptop. Practically missed viewing fireworks every Saturday at the Waterfront. Bought 2 storybooks which I've yet to start on. Finished my exam with ease, based more on muscle memory, with the constant writing of notes till the recent hours before the paper, than brain memory... Missed out on Singfest. My hair is shorter than ever(okay, not ever, ever being BMT). Oh, also, my paycheck fer that M1 commercial I was in but you could hardly see me has finally come in and so has my driver's license.

Last thing, my two current favourite songs are Leaving by Jesse McCartney and Cookie Jar by Gym Class Heroes featuring The Dream. Unlucky fer me, I've not been able to find them anywhere on the internet with mirrors I can download from, so it'd be very much appreciated it any of you have any or both these songs could send them to me. You can stream them anywhere if you've not heard'em. Thanks~
