Skype and making friends
Every body loves skype, It has broadened the number of ways that people can keep in touch with their loved ones. There is only one problem with skype; every Tom, Dick, Mary and Harry can try to get in touch with you…. Normally I simply ignore the ones I don’t know but sometimes there are persistent ones. But sometimes its hard. Here is an actual excerpt of a conversation from Skype. For obvious reasons I have blanked out some personal information. And I have left even the parts written in Kisii couz they were just tooo hilarious.
Him:

Him:

Me First!
@half 'n' half: I am with you on this one! Guys just barge in and ask you so many questions, most of them personal. You are very polite! I've skinned someone with my verbal flak on skype before, and it is bound to happen again one of these days..
never tried skype...might get my arse fired if i do, but your storo reminds me of one where my girl friend (note the gap) was wrong-numbered and the wrong-numberer started a conversation. yaani, the jamaa was katiaing her vi-serious.
@ stack, your mad cow jazzes me up.
Its disgusting for some one to ask for your number, and you haven't known each other. And even speaking to you in Omogusii while you insisted no knowledge Aaaiiih.
@stack:
Pity that skype is soo good, otherwise we would all just leave it.
@Modo:
maybe I should get Martos no and give this guy LOL at ensuing conversation.
@shiroh:
And we still think Kenyans are not tribal. Yikes. He actually gave me his no and thot I would also oblige. How is your tuesday any better than yesterday? Should make "monday sucks" a regular column
the Kisii man must be from Minnesota or Texas..... .
yes, Skype does allow for strange requests... . Once met a Yemeni whose wife was in Yemen, and he was in Dubai... so he wanted us to hook up..hmmm, and I am in the states.. LOLz strange fella....
Wassup Mwikali. Ovoo?
I steer clear of skype. Too non private for me. Strange people popping in and starting strange conversations. LOL at what went down. I am often a victim of people assuming am either a wallalo or a member of the kiuk community and begin conversing in their native tounges. (face to face, mind you!) Very rude!
@ Anon: well tooo bad for him....but people really shouldnt give out their number ovyo ovyo......hope he learnt not to chat up people you dont know, if you want to chat up strangers go to a chat room.
aeugeus: especially people from Turkey.......
@makanga:
ovoo waku? ndathoma, ndakinya or something
@majonzi:
ha ha ha kisiis do like minnesota. Its easy to pronounce.
Skpe is generally very non private as aegeus says. But its benefits far out weigh the strange calls
Anon: I have also deleted your comment
No problem, just wanted to tell him off, nothing sinister!
anon: reason being you had revealed his personal details which I didnt thinkfair, lets just keep it between you and me eeehhh.
