(Chuckling)
Why are you laughing?
Because I’m just waiting for the “Skype Rules”…
Well… okay, fine. How do I say this?
What are you trying to say?
Well… you don’t technically need to buy me a Barbie phone…
Oh? I don’t? I already bought it!
(LOL) Well… I can have that phone too, then… but before you give me that phone…
Yes?
I have other phones…
How many?
More… I have more phones…
Be honest — how many working phones do you have in your house right now?
I don’t know, like three… maybe a fourth or fifth…
“Maybe” a fourth or fifth…
Yeah…
(LOLOLOLOLOL)… I’m only allowed ONE — did you know that?!
I highly doubt that is true…
No! It’s true — I’m only allowed ONE phone.
That’s not even true, people can see you juggling more than one phone in your lives.
No — the phone that the live is on — is the company phone. Then I have my actual one and only personal phone that I am allowed.
What?!?! That can’t be real…
ANYWAY — Why do you have five phones?
It just… accumulated… over the years…?
You never recycled your old phones?
No…
And they still work?
In the home wifi they would… yeah… they don’t all have SIM cards in them…
Oh…
I just never throw them out in case I NEED another phone for an emergency! I still have all the power cords, they’ll work if I charge them…
What kind of emergency are you preparing for?
Well — I’ve LOST my phones before — so forgive me for being PARANOID about NOT having BACKUP PHONES.
Oh… okay… are you going to like, set up multiple Skype accounts and then it looks like I suddenly have five new friends in my contacts that I could be calling from my Skype on my one and only phone?!
Hmm… I don’t think that is necessary…
(LOL) Why not?
Because all five accounts would have the same IP address anyway — it’s not slick at all.
(Laughing) I didn’t think about this!
This is why I’m learning CYBERSECURITY!!! So I think about this stuff!!! It’s fine — if Skype has US government grade encryption — IT’S FINE.
(LOLOLOLOLOL)
I wanted to talk about my Skype Rules.
Okay, what are your Skype Rules?
Firstly, you can’t call me whilst in character. You have to take all your makeup off. Contacts off. I’m talking to NUDE FACE. It’s not a fan call with your characters.
(Nodding)… but what if something happens in the middle of rehearsal and I just want to talk to you?
Okay — in an emergency situation — you can. But usually, please don’t. Please just, take off all your makeup and contacts before you call me for a longer chat.
Okay…
What? You seem bummed out…
Yeah… because… I feel more confident with the makeup and contacts on…
I LOVE YOU JUST THE WAY YOU ARE. NUDE FACE. PUSTULAR ACNE!!! ALL OF IT!!! And I want that differentiation from your characters. I really, really, DON’T want to talk to the characters.
Okay…
And I want… YOUR NORMAL VOICE…
My normal voice?
I don’t want the characters’ voice…
How do you know what my normal voice is anymore?
I REMEMBER NOW.
You do?!
YES.
How do you know I wasn’t putting on another character when we were dating?
Because… you were RELAXED.
Was I?!?! I remember you made me very nervous…
Well… no. I remember your REAL voice. Your REAL accent, too…
Oh no, that’s definitely changed by now…
It has?
Yes I’m too used to speaking a certain way now… it’ll be different.
Okay, fine…
Any other rules?
Well… we can call each other — even if the other doesn’t immediately pick up. You can see there’ll be missed calls…
Okay…
I’m not taking my “Skype phone” to work or class… but I could take it out with me for friends catch-ups or when I go grocery shopping or take the dog to get groomed… just when I am out and about in general…
Okay…
Yeah. I think that’s it for now…
Do you actually have another number to use with the Skype phone?
Yes.
You do?!
Yes…
So you already had two working phones but you wanted me to buy you a Barbie phone?
Yes… (LOL)
What is your other number? Do the mutual friends know?
No… they don’t know…
Why do you have another number?
I don’t know…
What do you mean you don’t know — you know why you have another number.
I don’t want to tell the public blog.
Okay, fine. So you are comfortable to use the other number to set up a new Skype account?
Yes.
Okay… (Chuckles)
Why is this funny?
Because… it just is… (LOLOLOLOL) Any other rules?
I’m not sure… I can’t think of any right now… I just wanted to establish that differentiation with your characters — I’m not setting up a fan call. I’m talking to NUDE FACE.
(Can’t stop laughing about this)
WHY IS THIS FUNNY?!?!!?!?
Because… you keep calling me Nude Face and I’m just imaging YOU nude!!!
Okay — another rule — it’s also NOT that type of call!!!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAH………………..
