All about me (Part 1)

This is quite silly but then I am quite silly at times, no apologies for that, It's part of who I am, and since this write up is all about me, then I guess I do have the RIGHT to say what I want, don't I?...
OK, here we go...I am black and proudly African, humble, playful, quite blunt, as real as it gets, laugh a lot, quite simple REALLY, not in the least bit pretentious, love singing and dancing, watching a little TV, reading loads of books, cooking, like to draw, and paint too. 
I have the makings of greatness in me, yeah I said it, and I'll say it again if I have to....LOL....we all do actually, you've just got to figure it out, the tricky part is MAKING IT WORK, so, where was I?...
...Ah yes, I've been trying to write....something(hopefully)....anything...but most importantly...something that makes sense, something that, when I read it much later I wouldn't wonder if I was insane while writing it....I had the urge to write a great piece when I started but now?....hmmm....well, not exactly...so...All About Me?...I am the kind of person you see at first glance and you wonder...what's going through her mind, because I've been told a million and one times that I always have an inexplicable expression on my face, well, I don't know how true that is, as I can't see my face when I'm out on the streets (I wish I could), I almost don't believe it but then too many people tell you the same thing and you start believing even if only a little. So, back to me, don't get me wrong, I am not narcissistic or anything I'm just trying to find out how much about me I really know. Am I fashion inclined? I'd say...a little bit, though for me fashion has to go with comfort, I usually say 'if it isn't comfortable then why bother?' Limping about in hurting shoes aint the least bit appealing to me, no way.
I did say I love to cook didn't I?, well, I'm a really fabulous cook (certified from various people who have tasted my cuisine...hehehe). I can make a mean steak, as they say.
I've always read books, started that at a very tender age, and I've read basically everything I ever set my eyes on, but after having read some books that could be said to be scarring especially to the mind (cos we tend to remember more what we'd rather not), I decided to be more picky about what I read, so I ended up with the following genres: Inspirational, Adventure, Detective series, Espionage, Sci-Fi, Horror and Poetry, Yes I've always had a soft spot for poetry.
I've always had a passion for doing what is right, so much so that it has put me in trouble a couple of times (I won't say what happened because I can already see your ears twitching so much, with a burning desire to know what I'm talking about...lol), especially in a society as ours, where corruption is the order of the day, but hey, what can I say, we always have to live for what we believe in, right? perhaps not so for everyone but that's what I do, I stand for what I believe in, otherwise, what's the essence of believing?
I can be such a child at times....SSSHHH...big secret...I didn't really grow up....I come from Never Never land...(I wish)....I like to play like a child...you know run around, take a swing, have fun...without a care in the world...AH...sounds like such a lovely moment...(I'm almost lost in the revelry of my imagination)...yeah, am so imaginative...always dreaming up some sort of fantasy world....with little fairies and pixies, and goblins...(no thanks to all the early influence from Enid Blyton's adventure books) but really, what is life without imagination?
OK, enough of all the good parts, now lets face that part most people fear to reveal, I can be extremely tolerant of people around me, usually I'm quite friendly and likeable BUT since I am, like every other person, just human, I also have the flip side, my 'don't-you-dare' side, hmmm....you don't wanna meet me when I'm in that mood, I could drive nails into a wall with my fist...lol....but that side comes only once in a very rare purple full moon, werewolf things right?..lol
I'm a kick-off-your-shoes-and-relax kinda person, literally speaking, not to say that I don't believe in hard work, NO, actually I could be described as the epitome of hard work, I usually get done whatever I put my mind to, I just mean I hardly ever sit in a chair with my feet on the ground, nah, I always fold both legs up on the chair...whether at home, work, even in an exam hall, I almost got sent out of an examination hall once for not sitting properly, cos I kept raising my legs up without even realizing, I guess I could call it a habit now, ha ha...It's really comfy, you should try it.
Did I forget Music? Music is my life. I love Music, listening to it, and singing too, especially RnB's, my favourite genre, ah... the 90's truly rocked. Play me any Brandy song, and you've made my day.
Uh oh.....gotta get back to work now.....More on ME will come later when I feel up to it. See ya later alligator...
