Who's gone Veggie?? Me!!Me!!Me!!!!!!!!
hey guys, long time no hear... sorry I haven't posted anything meaningful in AGES, but I've been quite busy
uni is taking up a lot of my time and in between raves and architectural crits, I do not have that much time to write but I promise I will try and be more active this time. A lot of things have changed in my life since the last post...
1)I have FINALLY gotten over my ex, he was my 1st bf , so it took a while but I can now stand proud and confident and say that really have gotten over him!!
2) I'm enjoying uni to the fullest,making new friends, trying new things... I just feel so free and rejuvenated
3) I've gone veggie, YES!! in April 2010 I have done what I attempted to do in year 10 but gave up after a miserable year, I am now a full vegetarian, no more meat, yessery!! Unlike most people I'm not doing it for the animals, I'm doing it for my health and to detox myself, to be healthy and to appreciate food more , and also to save some money :).
4) Udoli is back, last year I discovered Udoli, I was so excited, finally a subculture that represented me, but at that time in my life i was a bit un-refined, myself, I was into the whole emo, kawaaii and that sort of thing, nothing wrong with that, but I feel that now I have grown up and I'm more sophisticated.
5)Events Organiser of the African Carribbean Society of University of Nottingham UK, i'm so proud of myself, this inspires me even more to get involved in uni life and make new friends, and also feeds my love for my culture and origins, and helps me be an authentic udoli.
6) I love Nigeria and even more I Love Biafra ... say no more
7)reading books about my culture, 2 best so far are: Purple Hibiscus by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie and Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe
8) I Love Being Black
9)Boondocks for the win, rediscovered boondocks, Huey is now my life-coach :D
10) ... hmmm ten, well , what else is there?? i now have a crush (aaaah!!!!) and he is so sexy and nice, hmmm I love my mates to bits!!! best people in the world!!!, cant wait for summer and hopefully travelling, and I LOVE BLOGSPOT!!! ^_____^
oh yeah I'm 20 this year woop woop :D

i don't want to be free from you
he cheated on me
i said i was never going to talk to him, contact him or even think about him, but here i am having a week long message conversation with him on facebook, even after what he did, how he made me feel, i'm still talking to him, like nothing has happened.
i don't know whats got into me, or i don't know, i'm just so confused, i obviously still have feelings for him, but thats wrong because he doesnt deserve me to care... how do i change this? how do i forget about him?
yes cliche topic, but its affecting me right now... unfortunately.

proverbs are the palm oil with which words are eaten
African People Getting jiggy story stolen from a friend!
One Christmas Eve..............When I was in my teens and in the household of a relative............My cousins and I did hear something go bump in de night between two adults ( but not necessarily their mum and dad, there were loads adults in the house that night staying over and were all married to by the way) of the house and it was hilarious....................
Man - Did you check on di children???
Woman - Yes, yes (inpatiently)
Man - So they are sreeeping (sleeping)???????
Woman - Yes, oh, did I not say dat de first time???? Come on gerron wid it ooooh...........you are taking your time ooooh Christmas will be here soon............(proper waiting to get stuck in)
Man - OK OK I will tan (turn) off the light now. He also does what sounds like he is rubbing his hands together in excitement, either that or I dare not imagine what else he could possibly be doing hehehehehehe.........
This time now me and my cousins are wetting ourselves with stifled laughter, as this is really the first time we have heard African people have sex.........
so anyway..........within moments we hear the bed creaking and working up to a rythmic, rocking movement on and on and on and ooon............no sound from the woman though or the man, I think for fear of waking everybody up etc.......or sooo we thought.......we are all about to doze of thinking we have heard the funniest part of their getting it on and then we hear............
Man - CALL YOUR FADDA, CALL YOUR FADDA (father) (Shouting at the top of his voice and scaring the shit out of us)
Woman - What the hell are you talking about??? Do you think my father wants to see this???????????
Man - I SAID CAAAAALLL YOOOOUR FAAAADDA oooooooh shiiiiit maaaan.
Woman - DETTY (Dirty) BASTARD, MY FADDA IS NOT A PIMP and neither am I a kinky whore.....gerroff are you a white man???????????
Man - Shiiiit man, do you not watch telly to get inspiration woman????? Tho tho those Americans, you know they say dis ting when they are about to come............CALL YOUR FADDA OR SOMETHING LIKE DAT????
By this time we kids and probably by now, the rest of the house are shocked, laughing and stunned to silence all at the same time, listening to this hilarious goings on.............
Woman - OOOOOOOOH YOU MEAN WHO'S THE DADDY!!!!!!!
Man - YES YES YES YES YEEEEES.......WHO IS DE DADDY, WHO IS THE DADDY, YES THAT IS THE CORRECT ONE now you stopped my flow my wife, you stopped my flow because you did not understand me the first time.........we have to start alllll over again.........

Head of the household - SO EVERYBODY DID YOU SLEEP WELL, WERE YOU ALL COMFORTABLE?????
The rest of us - YEEEES, THANK YOU
Mother of the house - So who's father was supposed to be coming here last night?................did he come in the end?????????????????

3 Movies
Ije The Journey
http://www.youtube.com/user/ijethejourney
its a new movie starring africa finest actresses Genevieve Nnaji and Omotola Jalade Ekeinde, the movie is about Chioma, a child growing up in the Nigerian countryside, who warned her restless sister, Anya, about the trappings of the American Dream. Now ten years later, Anya is accused of killing three men in a Hollywood Hills mansion—one of them her record producer-husband. Chioma travels from Nigeria to Los Angeles, and with the help of a young, unproven attorney, discovers that the dark secret her sister wants to keep hidden might be the only thing that can win her freedom.

Linda's List
I've just finished reading a romantic novel called Lilah's List by Robyn Amos, it’s a about a woman who at the age of 16 wrote a list of all the things she'd like to do before she turned 30, now weeks before her 30th birthday she is on a trip to try and finish her list. This book inspired me to draw up my own list of things I want to do before I turn 20, which would be in about 11 months time on the 7th of December. These are the twenty things I want to do before I turn 20, I’ll try and keep this blog going and let you know when I can start crossing things off the list :)
So, here goes...
Linda’s List
1. Get fit
2. Take a road trip
3. Learn to play an instrument
4. Visit the London zoo
5. Go to a stage musical
6. Attend a film festival
7. Ride on a motor bike
8. Visit France
9. Be sexually satisfied
10. Sleep under the stars
11. Leave a letter in a library book for someone to find
12. Go paint balling
13. Get a piercing/tattoo
14. Try drugs
15. Learn a new foreign language
16. Get drunk
17. Write a children’s book
18. Visit the Stonehenge
19. Donate blood
20. Get a bonsai tree

Sometimes i feel sorry for myself.
dont you ever wish that you were just born in another family
or that you had no family at all and that you were adopted
or that you lived ina children's home like tracy beaker?
i knw its sad, but you cant believe how many times i wish, or even prayed for that to happen or even be true.
i'm not going to vomit my personal life affairs online as it would be disrespectful to my family.. i knw. but sometimes you just need someone to talk to, some to understand, not even, just to listen to you. sometimes its hard to just carry on doing what you we doing without stopping and thinking.
ive been in a middle of an abusive relationship fo 19 years on my life. i say in the middle because i'm just a sort of spectator,devider, i'm always present but my actiona count to nothing, in both parts. yes my parents are african, its common, i'm not acting the victim here, but even though its common for africans to argue a ;lot, its not common for a couple now ogether for 20 years to fight near and sometimes to physical contact every single day, holidays included, especially on days such as christmas days, easter, family outings and when visitors are around. its not common for a woman to disrespect her husband, talk , talk, talk even when her husband has threatened her multiple times . its not normal for a man to break all glass furniture including mirrors, phorframes, mugs, cups and tables ( yes, tables, plural).
i dont know how much more of it i can take.
its ok when i'm in nottingham, i miss having my amily around.
now i'm here i just want to disappear.
i cant wait to go back to nottingham and not come back until its necessary.
i just pity my sister and my brothers who still have many years of this ahead of them... at least they had each other ... i had no one.
