i wath tagged by candy box, , Ai and ED.



so here's my quirky list

1. I prolly wont become your friend if you are my friend's friend first, which explains why im the person in the group you know nothing about.

2. I tend to think myself out of many things so im not much of a risk taker. If i dont see the point, i wont do it.

3. It is one of my greatest fears that i will wake up one day and find myself married. Yes... find.

4. I'm terribly insecure about things that matter to me and those things are a mite too few to begin with and as ia result I tend to do really stuuupid things when i get overly emotional (which is rare) which most times end up in tooootal end of relationships.

5.I would prolly hug you instead of slapping you as hard as i can muster simply because you are hurting me but in the name of letting you be happy, would let you do ya thang!

6.Im shy.

Apparently these represnt the height of expression, affection, appreciation blah blah blah
BUt lets be honest...how much emotion do you need to put in to achieve this.
Im told sex starts in your mind and as we all know, with guys being highly visual creatures, it doesnt take a lot to get them going. A chick, depending on her overall hold on her emotional faculties, will prolly go along with these feelings being "enforced" upon her to get it done with.
Many of us were brought up to believe that kissing and therefore sex are "bad manners" which loosely translates into "sin" which ofcourse is all good once you are married ((havent figured out the logic there yet))... Im guessing its because of the moral code of the family, of commitment to bettering yourself and unit, resisting temptation and all that.
But when you really think about it, the world in which we live preaches that we should enjoy every aspect of life. Free will dictates that we shouldn't limit our experiences, after all, we only get to live once, right?
Not all of us will get to date the one person we eventually marry but that's the ideal which is why some of we were taught to pray for our husbands looooooooong ago. You know seek yee first the kingdom of God and all these things will be added unto you, pray focussed like so God can know and you can know what you looking for, blah blah blah.
I have often heard people say suuuuuuch glorius things about kissing and about sex but when you think about it, its just mouth her, insert here, thank you very much. So once you have done the deed, then what? what discoverable mystery is left??
Ofcourse there are those who say, if you call sex over rated, you aint doing it right. Hmmmmm...wonder how many........ u had to ....... to come to that conclusion, iz all im not saying..
err... I'll b back to conclude.....

so i spent a few hours at the police station... sue me!

i hear its something everyone should try out once in a while. i mean, who would want to miss out on the erie silence thats occasionally pancuated by some one claiming to have been involved in an accident or whose chicken was stolen or some such misfortune.....

OOooo you cant beat the staring police woman/man for whom you provide an untappered source of entertainment because you are forever wondering what you did for him/her to be staring at you so intently. Finally u figure it must be something to do with your apparel so you take a gentle stroll outside to use a car window as your "looking glass". Once you ascertain that there is nothing wrong with your dress, u walk over to the chick selling ground nuts... i mean..if u must be stared at, at least have "ki kati" (ground nut husks/skin thingies) on your teeth,right?

You saunter back in and constable Otim aint on your plot. You wonder who you need to know to get something done about your case. And THEN, some chap you know turns up...he has been promoted..he is in SPC uni and u can clearly remember wat he looked like in he's original LDU uni. Guy cant help u...he's almost as bad as you.

A few minutes later, madam e'jakyte walks by and you cringe. CHick is going to ask those embarassing questions of where your brother is: as if putting you on the spot to clearly tell all of the odd 30 policemen that your brother has since turned from his wicked ways so you see less of him and thats the reason the cellz arent his humble aboard any more.

Did i mention that the police station doesnt have network? waiiit...such a ugandan thing to say. Your service provider dont get paid enough to provide his service in there...much better. So mama joyce under the tree makes mob dimes off you...all for FREE!

makes you wonder though..shd they decide to beat you up in there..how will the world know whats happening to you? How will you provide running comentary as things unfold???? just asking, ofcos.....

Due to popular demand i have changed my template back to more tempting things...... Cheri, im finally getting over what some people are faithfully refering to as birthday hangover....

I was sooo totally shocked when i turned up at Sams with edmund and found friends and family awaiting my arrival. So yes The Ermys we did have a party, there's some hope yet and yes Carlo, we did have fun.

Everyone keeps asking me if i was really suprised. People! People!! im not the OMG! tear gushing person... u know this!!! Which is the reason why i put up with some people, i guess ((grins)).

It was fun just sitting down with people i hadnt seen as a group in some time...so that was niice....

Since then...i have been involved in an accident, forced to watch the Man. U/Arsenal match, subjected to evil eeeeeeeeeeeevil chocolate mouse,( trust me, even the most die hard chocolate fanatic would've to step back for a few), fought with silly humps, almost involved in anumber of other accidents.... oooo this was among the most recent conversations with this person i consider my friend.

It all started when i innocently sent him a hug emoticon( we waz chatting...so he hugs me back...this is how the conversation went after that...

M: why are we hugging?
T: coz we like each other?
M: oooooooooooooooooooooooo ok
T: there some other reason i dont know abt??
M: no, you started the hugging. i hope you are not getting the wrong idea - we are just friends right?
T: hahahahha wrong idea? like?
M: like we are going out boyfriend and girlfriend bad manners kind of thing
T: waiiit!! we arent goingout?
M: just making sure, very funny T!
T: Ya think?
M: Ok, get serious. are we on the same page?
T: LOL..think we are
M: Glad to hear that now back to where we were
T: "i hear glad to hear that" u dont even know where we are for u to be glad LMAO
M: you are awful
T: just saying...these things of concluding by urself can be dangerous... thaz all
M: ok then - what is the consensus?
T: well....i dont know.you tell me u seem to have ur finger on the pulse, so to speak
M: no i wanted to know what you thought of our relationship
T: ooooooo....right not tooo sure actually
M: really? ok so i shall make it clear we are plutonic friends...better now?
T: hahahahhaha. waiiit... inappropriate response ((throat clearing)) wat makes you think i wld think we are more than plutonic friends?
M: i just wanted to clarity, something wrong with that? i wanted not you to get hurt if there was a misunderstanding.

Makes you wonder what kind of misunderstanding there would be that wld cause you to be hurt. Friends will hurt you because they have the power to do so...plutonic or not.

For sometime there i thot the pheremones were rearing their ugly heads again (grins)) i mean this came outa noooo where.
Tandra

My time to spend with you forever
Our life together
I was made Made to love you (Made to love)

I remember out first date
Our first arguement
Our very first breakup and makeup that got us to this moment
And every girlfriend and every one night stand
Every heartbreak and every heartache led me to youit brought me to and made me betta

It had to be my destiny

I was made to love you

Its a new day, its a new dawn, for me!! for me and it feels......



im taking the liberty to rumble a lot..im sooo happppy!!! (((this promises to be the most uncordinated post ever, so i suggest....))



Usually on this day, i chill like i do everyday. Its not a special day in itself, i guess because the same things keep happening to me...but today im happy and thats the important part.



Im not going to think about the fact that im waiting for my phone to ring for someone to give me a job or that life goes on when you have lost someone you love or that in my darkest moments of depression, no one could understand it, least of all me.



Im happy and God loves me regardless of all the ish.



so lemme see.. updates...



Spent a very sweeet day with a very sweeet boi. He apparently has had a crush on me for like 2 years. ((begining to think its pheromone season)). Apparently all that pushing away i was doing was doing an active job of attracting, darn!

Im reading "His needs, Her needs" Hillard F. Harley which basically asks "how affair proof" your marriage is. No, im not married, just thought twould be an interesting read. I really dont expect to learn anything new and so far, i havent..no..not really..its more confirmation of what i already know coupled with explanations i just wasnt able to.

will give u chapter update some time soon...

where was i going? ooo yes...people say that an important part of a relationship is how much a person makes you laugh.(im guessing coz its an easily relatable emotion or some such rot) but anyway, think sometimes i choose my friends basing on that. You know u are going to seriously crush on someone if they can make u laugh and not in a funny kind of the way but a ROTFL laughing kinda way.

Back to my sweet peep. I landed myself in things quite a number of times. I was being my adorable self when i brought up the idea of the "ladder theory" so guy asks where on the ladder he beez and i was sooooo shy! i was just yapping, hello!

Sometimes you meet that guy and think, kale if only u were like someone else this would work ((grins)) . I looked at the guy and thought "kale some gal is going to be happy to get you, tis not me unfortu".

I guess i could string him along, be al nice about it but im not that kinda person. I dont see why you should waste anypersons time. Its not right, bottom line.

Before i forget..please visit kigandaskunk and welcome to the fold. thank you.

In other news, all u babie lovers... i still maintain that i was the VICTIM and for those who are wondering, babyz doing fine.

How was valentines? as u can see, i have appropriately changed my template to "valentine" in commemoration of the past confused day. I must say i was disappointed. No one was in red!! i had to even fight not to be in the number (of red clad ugandans) only to get to the town to be lost in the sea of non redies!!! ((not fair)).

I went to church yesterday, yes...sometimes even I go to church. Havent been in a while, but God and me are sorting, i think. It was beautiful. I know i tick HIM off mob but you know... He still remains Holy, Worthy, Faithful and my Father.

A verse that always springs to mind when i think about His awesomeness is

"... I saw the Lord seated on a throne, high and exalted, and the train of his rob filled the temple. Above him were seraphs, each with six wings. With two wings they covered their faceswith two they covered their feet and with two wings they were flying. And they were calling to one another:

"Holy, holy, holy in the Lord Almighty: he whole earth is full of his glory"

Isaiah 6:1-3

Makes you want to just abandon everything and worship Him for Who He is. Irrespective of whatever else is going on in your life. He is worthy. He is great. He sees you for who you really are and doesnt hold it against you.

He hears you even when you think no one is paying attention to you. YOU are important to HIM and nuthing beats that.

...........................

Went to a wedding meeting yesterday. Felt i owed it to the groom to turn up as this was the last meeting. Got there and behold did the meeting start laaaaaaaaate. As i was contemplating a walk out, the bride comes n introduces herself and goes like "oooo T!!" like "we have been waiiiting for you"...i sooo cldnt leave.

Weddings are the worst. My people here are like a week from wedding and they are sort by 8mln. 8!! unless sudhir's like ur daddy...man!! thats one of the things that beats me about them..if you are going for fancy..prioritise bulungi. Do the neccessary and more importantly...no partying yet you cannot afford it. Tis just a waste of time and money.

oooo oooo...almost flucked a valz thingy at Sabrinaz..i mean, i was there already!! but i took one look at the 3 peeps in the 4 row set up and decided twas soooo not worth it.

in the most important news of the day.... i have made it!!!!!! Apparently this particular birthday is important...still trying to understand y. A friend keeps telling me we are closer to 30...yes gal, that we are.

So, thank you to everyone who has wished me the best.... thank you for being a part of me life, helping me thru ish and more importantly...for accepting me the way i IZ... i mean, i take you as you are too ((grins)). Love ya.

Before i forget..the other day i was asked why im always hanging with couples. Tisnt my fault all my people are in relationships... life just beez working out that way...

Now together...

Happy Birthday to you...Happy birthday to you... Happy birthday..happy birthday...happy birthday...happy birthday to me!!!!

I have this reaallllly sweet story to tell but thought i shd share this one...before...

SO u know how my stories start.. there i was innocently idling..in this case walking infront of sub zero, think its called, when i recieved this msg.

"This valentine at 7pm: its the "STRICTLY SINGLES PARTY" at Effeny's: Centenary park jinja rd,FREE WELCOME DRINK,SNACKS,MUSIC& PRIZES 2 WIN. Entrance 10k"


which was the reason i wasnt paying attention and stumbled over some kid. the little pwesious bundle all pweety in pink. But twas soooo unfair. After executing some serious twists, my yoga instructor (sniggers) would be proud of, i managed nnot to crush the bundle.

I mean, re-a-lley...after all those matrix proud moments, someone shda been on my side, but nooooooo everyone was on little persons side, as if i had caused her to walk right into my path, i mean, she might be under 2 years and have directional problems but come on, i was the VICTIM.

I mean, no one...absolutely no one asked if i was okay...the HATERS!!

Later that evening, i was reminded about the SMS by my sis. she was grumblin because they sent her the msg as well. i mean, she aint SINGLE hello!!! i was sooooooo amused.

*********
i was chatting with this guy who was telling me he was being pressured by his girlfriend of two years to settle. He's problem is he wants to settle, just not with her and although people admire him for being with her, and he does like her...he wants out.

I shared this with some of me other peeps... reactions were as follows..

B (chick) : eh, then he shud just let her go.naye guys!
T: he's planning to
B:wen exactly? and why doesn't he want to settle with her?they've been together for 2 years for crying out loud
T: lol i know but he's doing so...like anytime
B: guy is fake
T: wat do u mean he is fake?
B: he is fake! shudn't have lead the babe on for so long if he didn't plan on being with her
T: they were happy then she finished campus now she's like "watsup".cant really blame him
B: yeah yeah yeah.... he shud have known
T: ate how?? how is he supposed to KNOW that the chick will finish n demand things?ke
B:lets be realistic T,the norm of a relationship is date basically get to know each other and then make it more permanent,some peeps chose to co-habit but in the end its marriage unless u are susan surrandon (spelling) and tim robbins
T : the thing is...just coz ur priorities have changed, u cant expect mine to change at the same pace n be in the same direction, that aint human or fair for that matter which is y most people part,hello! no matter how much time u'd put in prior
B: yeah right...anyhu, we shall agree to disagre

2nd peeps reaction

K (chick): no need to procrastinate or delve into coulda woulda he needs to bail now. Besides 2 years is not phenominal like 5 years are. he needs to bail now. Besides 2 years is not phenominal like 5 years are.

T:okay..rephrased qn: do you think this is right or should he have told her from the start that this is not something serious?
K: did he know from the start???that this wasnt serious?
T: dunno...someone's arguing that he shda said at the start u wonder how he was supposed to know!
K: yeah he prolly liked her and thought whatever it was he could deal with


3rd peep

D (guy): nope. he doesnt have to have told her at any point...just because i've hooked up with u. doesnt mean i have to marry u. a bit unfair, cuz chicks sorta expect it to be obvious but. BUT if u care abt someone, u shd've talked about it somewhat. set expectations and all that cuz investing those 2 years... well. its something ur never going to have back at least thats what i believe


SO my questions the same:
guy wants to chuck his babe of 2 years.do you think this is right or should he have told her from the start that this is not something serious?
