We’re out of the blogging challenge now and we’re reverting to normal post mode so I thought maybe I should reacquaint myself with you. Here goes nothing.
- I started smiling at three weeks old. Or so says my baby card.
- I’m a Virgo. September 6, pencil it into your diaries.
- I fell off a moving car when I was seven. Then I got up and chased after said car.
- I broke my leg at 6 months old. Allegations are it was my sister’s fault but she maintains her innocence.
- I can’t eat beetroot because the colour makes me dizzy. I don’t know how it happens, it just does.
- I’m an animal lover to the death. I have had 7 dogs. I had adopted a few cats back in Lusaka and I really hope someone is feeding them while I am away and I will get a rabbit one day.
- If teaching paid fairly, that would have been my career of choice. I love sharing knowledge y’all and I love learning and I hope one day I can fulfil my teaching dream.
- I talk to myself more times than I am woman enough to admit.
- I speak pretty decent Sesotho: I taught myself from TV. Even added a bit of accent for just.
- I made my first TV appearance at age 12. A minister had come to our school for prize giving day and guess who was accepting the best student prize? This gal here.
- I got my driver’s license on attempt number 15. I’m still a crappy driver though.
- I have an incredibly strong memory. It’s more encyclopedic than photographic. I can almost recall any conversation to the word. However, I can never remember directions to anywhere.
- I have never been on a train or a horse.
- I am deathly terrified of escalators. I need someone to hold my hand when I go up or down one. Escalators are death traps.
- Numbers confuse me. My sister is a numbers wizard. I on the other hand sometimes do not add well. Long division made me cry when I was 8 and I remember crying more recently as I was doing a budget for a production. Cried. Actual tears. I do have O’Level Maths though guys. Got a B on my first attempt. Look at God.
- I am yet to fall in love. Listen I know sis is old but it’s true. I have liked people very much and I have cared about them. But I have never been in love. So universe, do your thang.
- I am faster on paper than on keyboard. It’s so much easier to think when you’re putting pencil to paper than when are putting finger to keyboard to screen to space bar..it’s a lot guys.
- I used to sell terrible poetry in primary school. It was my sister’s idea. I got caught, she didn’t. 🙄
- When my breasts first started growing, I was convinced I had Breast Cancer. I was at a boarding school and my dad had to come and pick me up and take me to the doctor. Doctors sadly do not cure puberty.
- I’m the jokester in nearly all my friend groups. Nobody believes this however because a lot of people buy into this “serious as death” thing that I have going on, which I equally love by the way.
- I am very awkward around new people. I have patted a human being on the head more than once.
- In retrospect,I may have fallen into a depression when I was 14 but I just didn’t know that’s what it was. There was a lot of sadness and crying and not wanting to be a part of anything. Or maybe that was just puberty.
- I am newly allergic to chocolate. But nobody can stop reggae. if I die, I die.
- I cannot fall asleep without socks on. I don’t care how hot it is, no socks, no sleep.
- I cried when Hillary Clinton lost the US election. I was so invested in it. I remember I was interning at Sunday News at the time. The office TV was on CNN and when they announced that she had conceded, I got up and went to the bathroom to cry.
- In high school, I never had a song book or autobook or…that book. I think in my teenage head, that was my idea of rebelling against the system.
- I have had the same phone number for 11 years. This is my second sim card…ever. The first one was a Netone Contract line that my dad gave me in 2007 then he took it away in 2009 because I was over using it and I needed to learn to buy my own airtime😒.
- I have lived in the same house for 21 years. And the way this country is set up, I might be here for another 21 years😂😂.
- I have never watched a single Star Wars movie and that is a shame that I carry with me every single day. I will watch the movies though. I’ll do a marathon like i did with the MCU movies.
- Finally, I watch Titanic twice every year and it still as good as it was the first time.

“..speak pretty decent Sesotho: I taught myself from TV. Even added a bit of accent for just.” Hahahahha, so curious to to hear the accent🤪
Lol. We’re still getting there
