Now for the truths..
- I’m obsessed with my wo-wo-wo (ok this is fairly obvious). Despite self-pep talks, and encouraging words from friends and family, I still get incredibly hurt when someone makes a stupid comment about it. Liposuction is in the future…
- I love cartoons…especially early in the morning. I have a habit of watching at least 1 episode while having breakfast. Even on the days I have to wake up early, I set the alarm earlier just to have enough time to watch cartoons. Anyone who thinks cartoons are best left to children knows by now to keep that particular opinion to themselves.
- Love books…I think coz I’m kinda quiet, books are my best friend coz they don’t talk back.. A perfect day would def include some quiet time, cuddled up somewhere with a book. At times I’d rather read than go out.
- I don’t have any middle ground (emotion wise)..when I’m happy (usually on sunny days like today) I’m over the moon..smiling with everyone and whistling while doing whatever. When I’m down, omg…I get really down…can easily spend a day in tears, head aching, swollen face, chest pains, weird thoughts…I need to stop letting stuff getting to me.
- When I get angry or hurt, I go quiet….seriously quiet. For days and weeks on end. Sometimes its coz I fear what would fly out of my mouth if I chose to speak (there are times I also get shocked by what I’m saying..its like my brain and mouth operate on different channels). Other times its coz I can’t be bothered. I’d rather be alone than spend time arguing about the same thing over and over.
- Food…I like..no love! Sometimes I cook and then can’t be bothered to eat (Thats why I like to cook when there is someone around to enjoy the food). When cooking, I like to be alone (ok I don’t mind cooking with mummy, cousins, sisters or girlfriends) but there is something about cooking alone. What I need is a radio set on loud volume and a glass of yumminess (errmm wine/ Baileys or smoothie I’m in a healthy phase) and I’m good to go! Singing as I cook along is great therapy. I enjoy experimenting (sometimes to bad results but mostly it works out alright).
- I’m an introvert…but out-going with the few I like….so when I meet someone, the first time I’ll probably be shy and quiet…but if we click, then haiya we get along like a house on fire. I’m not the type who makes friends easily…I envy people who have the gift. It took me a while, but this is something I’ve accepted about myself and cannot change.
- I find it weird when people have conversations with someone (on-line or on the phone)…yet they have never met. Ok let me qualify this and say that this has slightly changed since I became a blogger, but still I wonder, “How do you talk for days on end with someone you have never met?” For me, there is one who has become a real friend…but other than that, if there are no chances of us meeting, then errmm yeah..it will bother me.
- Much as I don’t believe that in the home there is work for the “men” and work for the “women”, I fear that is what my life will turn out to be if I get married/ move in with a Mr…..this is me who learnt how to change a light bulb juzi…yes I must admit before I used to sweetly ask Daddy to do this…and after that my housemate used to change it for me…I don’t know how cars run….so will prob turn into one of those women who get stranded in Kajiado and call hubby in Nairobi to ask for help (I was there when this happened..and I didn’t find it shocking)..yes instead of calling AA, she called the hubby…so yeah I need to learn the inner workings of lights, cars, sinks and drains, electric equipment and so on and so forth. Only then will I happily sing “Independent women-type” songs (Like Superwoman by Alicia which is soothing me now) without guilt.
- I’m not the type to say “I love you” just like that. Too often I find that people say it like its a greeting..like you end the conversation by saying “Ok..I love you. Bye”…to which I will reply “Bye”, full-stop. Have to admit that I’ve only said it..and meant it, to one person (who I’m currently trying to forget). Then, I was in love…to have that thrown back in my face, and then you try to confuse my head by talking in double speak made me shut down. kinda….after that, I have been extremely fond of the guys I’ve met…but still not enough to say “I love you”…more like “luv ya” ama “love you” which kinda means the same…but not the same. As she said, the best definition is a cynical romantic. I still believe it will happen someday (whether it will currently happen with he who is currently causing me to write random posts such as this and this, we shall have to wait and see)
