Mememememe

I have been so busy through the last weekend and since this week began ....That explains the delay.

After school today, I popped into H&M and copped me two summer dresses. Don't give me the evil eye. My wardrobe is starving from lack of dresses. In Nigeria, dresses were my fave item of clothing. I wore them at home, to church, to parties, but in these parts wearing a dress is quite a big deal. Women don't wear dresses here that often, even in the summer and it baffles me.

I will do little random meme, it has been a while since I did one. So here it goes

I like to think that I am not a vain person, but I know better. I find it hard not to look at my reflection when I pass by a reflecting surface, I just can't, especially on days I take particularly care with choice of outfit and makeup. Dang!.But I guess we all have narcisstic personalities in us. Don´t you think?

I get easily fixated on things. For example, I don't mind listening to the song on my ipod over and over again, I never put my ipod on shuffle. Another example, when it come to food I don´t mind having the same thing for breakfast over and over again until I become bored. Funny enough, whenever I discover a new food item, I think it is the best thing that ever happened to me and I wonder why I hadn't thought about it earlier. Case in point, I went through a rye bread and cheese for breakfast phase some time ago.

I just could not get enough of it. I had it for breakfast, also as snacks and I took it as my packed lunch whenever neccesary. After a while my interest in rye bread just died . Now I cannot for the life of me fathom how something as tasteless as rye bread ever really got my fancy.

I am very practical in most things, I find as I get older I am more outspoken and generally less tolerant. When I mean less tolerant, it is like this, I don't have the patience to hang around folks that are really no good or even find myself in a relationship that has been warped from the start. Once I notice this person will bring me more headache than necessary, I just walk away. I find this attitude has brought me so much more happiness than I can even begin to describe.

I just cannot do the suck up. I can´t. I can´t pretend to like somebody just for the exchange of friendship or favours. I can understand if one has a boss that likes getting his a## kissed and the only way up is to do just that, but when it comes to wanting to be friends with a certain person because he or she is rich or whatever, then I think that is really pathetic. The worst thing that can happen is when the person in question notices you are sucking up to him/her for any reason. The next thing is, superiority complex sets in and ofcourse that is the end of the story.

I can´t think of anything more , so I´m off to other blogs. Ciao.

Don't we love us some summer dresses, am a girlie girl and am sure you are too. Love all the points mentioned, found I behave the same way most times. It's about time to ignore negative people and stick with the postives. No picture of dresses for us to see, sucks. Did you buy me one dress too?lol

Enjoy the rest of the week :=)

I enjoyed reading this. Girl, we share the same traits o. I really am a very outspoken person and I don't have patience for yeye-rism; more peace and happiness for me.
And like you, I absolutely can not pretend or play cute. I just can't!
