'say what?'

'Ed! Ed!'
My head lifted up from the monotonous humdrum my head was occupying me, yes, it was pondering whether an eskimo could beat a red indian in a fight (yes, I'm aware I'm doing a Masters degree at University). I stopped dead in my tracks and swivelled my head all of the place like I was trying to follow a fly buzzing round but in fact, I was trying to find out who was shouting after me.
'Ed! Ed!'
The voice was coming near as I could tell through the noisy traffic the road was making through university campus...there! I spotted my friend Will across the road. I rose a half wave in greeting and he rolled his eyes and crossed the road in a jog. Coming up to me he spoke to me quickly but unfortuntely I couldn't hear him properly so i did what every deaf person may say...'what?'
He burst out laughing and punched me in the arm and did a Tim Henman style celebration pump!
'haha, all I said mate was...hahaha..' I stood there with a bored expression on my face and slowly reached my hand to the spot where he punched me, hoping he wouldn't notice he inflicted pain on me..
'haha...Loser says what!..haha...and you certainly did say that!...so Loooooooooooooser!' he said with a reverse L signal hand on his forehead.
I rolled my eyes and said 'I was just easy prey was I? Me, a deaf person?'
He replied, 'sure was!'
I stared at him intently with an eyebrow raised and then slowly but surely, a smile creeped up at the corners of my mouth and I shook my head laughingly,
'what are you like, you idiot!'
We both set off together across campus and after arguing whether an eskimo could really beat a red indian in a fight, and arrangements to meet up next time, we started to split to our separate ways when I cut in mid-sentence of his goodbye with a quick garble....'losersayswhat'. He surprisingly said 'what' back to me, to which I roared out laughing and walking backwards to him watching, I held the L hand signal to my forehead, this time...the right way round.

That's the story of how I got my blog name. I didn't want to have my first entry as a glittering profile of my life listing my achievements....that's the later one lol!
