tagged!
nakeel tagged me a while back so here i go ...
RULES:
1. We have to post these rules before we give you the facts.
2. Players start with eight random facts/habits about themselves.
3. People who are tagged need to write their own blog about their eight things and post these rules.
4. At the end of your blog post, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names.
5. Don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them they’re tagged, and to read your blog.
1. i swallow a whole lot of seeds. from the ones in oranges to tangerines to plums if they aren't to big. when i was in class 2 i stopped for a while cos people swore that i would grow a tree in my tummy but science class taught me that that wasn't possible so i went right back to swallowing them. i don't know why i do it, it's just habit i guess. the only upside is that i am able to swallow pills of any size with no problem whatsoever.
2. those who know me can tell my mood by what earrings are missing from my ears. i have 9 piercings, 8 of which are on my ears and i never leave the house without jewellery in all of them. i just feel naked. even when just chilling at most one pair will be missing. a really really bad day is one where i can't even summon the energy to put any earrings on.
3. i don't like wearing a watch. i had a couple snatched from me kitambo in tao and after that i operated with city clock and later on i used my cell phone.
4. i abolutely hate coconut. that means coconut everything - chocolate, rice, cakes or whatever with those little coconut flakes on them ... the taste just makes me gag. amazing how people try to cure you by saying, "look, its covered in chocolate!" i don't care, keep that stuff away from me.
5. i tend to go off on tangents in conversations. i'll start talking about one thing then mention something and talk about that then another thing then im like "s%&t, where was i again?" it's even worse when i am excited or have been drinking cos what seems random to other people totally makes sense in my head cos they are all connected somehow. actually, the going off on tangents thing generally runs through a whole lot of stuff i do cos i have the attention span of a housefly.
6. there are times that i come of as standoffish or abrupt (and those are the polite words people use, teehee)but i really do get shy at times and its hard to get conversation going.
7. i do believe that horoscopes and the like should be taken with a very generous pinch of salt (ha, those things are so made up. in high school we once made up a numerology chart and assigned numbers one to nine personality traits and people would calculate and then go "haiya-ye. that is so me!" if that was accomplished during prep time imagine what is possible if you actually do it for a living and you had all day) but i am told repeatedly that i am a typical aquarian female.
8. i go against all stereotypes for people who study environment related things by not having actually hugged a tree. i have sung to one though, and that is a story that would make no sense even after i explain why we were doing it and what was so fun about it and that we were absolutely not drunk. ah dammit, it sounds bad either way but it was a team building exercise. you know what, just forget it. i sung to a tree and i'm sticking to my story. just don't go spreading that around or bringing it up all the time.
so, i dont know who hasn't done the whole tagged thing but if you are moved in any way go right ahead and feel free.

You sung to a tree??? ate ke? ha hahahaha I'll never let you forget that... lookie look, am actually the first leaving a comment here! YAY!
Oki what else - um, I think that drifting away in mid convo is a Choxerian thing... dont blame yourself blame MBUGI'S.. as for seeds, you are just Lazy! you dont want to spit - (and now I am thinking dirrty) anyway Keep the faith, ivetagged but you didnt tg me either so thats that... Kisses!
First thanks for doing the tag.
I still insist the trees will grow in you. lol. And the 9th shimo I can see it. Kwa kitovu tell me am wrong.
Like the list.
Great list
You sang to a tree? You will never live this down
@ mikhie
hahaha, i can see someone hasn't forgotten that mbugis is the source of all things wrong with us. inciter wewe! singing to a tree is not as uncommon as you think if you must know. and i'm not too lazy to spit, i swallow cos i want to. haha, now you have me thinking dirty too. damn you! as usual, it's all your fault that my mind is in the gutter.
@ nakeel
at least i don't eat hair glo or cocoa butter. afadhali these phantom trees i have been waiting ages to grow. and you are wrong, ninth piercing is the nose.
@ seasons
thanks for passing by. and the way y'all are fixated on the tree singing it's like you think it's weird or something .... lol.
Haiya...I was going to ask where the ninth piercing is then I remembered!! They really are that many? So you can like strain tea with your ears...hehe...don't be around me drunk next time if there is tea in the area...experiments hihi!! Now im all excited and I can just see it! Talking in tangents...lol...I know you do that. But then it just adds to flavour and you end up hearing like twenteen stories instead of just one! multistory-ing...like you know, multitasking...ok, I shall stop now.
@ kipepeo
you are so mean. why, why would you do that to me? shindwe pepo colourless cos it's funny but the potential for pain is too high considering that your motor skils aren't the best even when you haven't been drinking.
