I AM NOT MY HAIR

- - So the time has come to join the millions of women who worry about what to do next to their hair [hurr]. I was having a jolly old time watching these things from afar when I was that girl with the brush cut…*ah good times*

It so happened that sometime last year I woke up one day SICK to my stomach of short hair and braided it. The time for the braids has come to an end [ie. They are now toe-up], and I need to do summing else. Only problem is I’m dead set against relaxing my hair and cos of that, I’m ruling out like 95% of my options.

Yes…these are the problems we, women have to deal with.lol.fascinating, I know. I’m yawning just thinking about it.

…so at this point, ideas for the next:ZERO….we shall hit the foreign stores and check what we cant check.

written 16 September 2009: _______ Yoh! i went to see my friend’s week old baby today and while she was bathing and dressing I got to bond with the rascal. Babies are the berrst! But point of this entry was that DAING HER BOOBS WERE MASSIVE…LIKE MASSSSSSSSIVE!!!! yeslikeit!!!!!!!!!!!

Pipe Dreams

written 16 September 2009: _____ One of my dreams in life is to be a back-up singer for Jill Scott. I LOOOOOOOVE her, absolutely POSITIVELY IN LOVE WITH HER. Her voice, her music, her soul! I think she’s an awesome person and an even better artist.Everytime I listen to her and sing along, I think oh it would just be the coolest to sing back-up live with her on stage!! I have a friend that also shares the same dream….

Age

wriiten 27 August 2009: ____ I never reeeaaaly think about it, my age that is. In my head I think I’m still 21..i see everything and experience everything like I’m that age. The only time I really get reminded how old I am is at gym…there’s those machines that ask you your age and weight so they can calculate the calories you’re losing. Everytime I type my age in_2_6, I am in disbelief….I dont feel like a 26 year old at all but I am. I always look over my shoulder incase someone is watching when I type it in. I think I’m ashamed to be 26…..hmm…am I…I dont know….. I mean when I was younger (21) thats (26)round about the age I saw as oooooollllllllllld…..so the fact that I’m there is like woww….am I old? …I dont feel it though…I cant be…Can it, am I?…..Nooooooo….but I’m still phly!!……it cant be true. Its like I have to fight my own preconceived ideas about what old is. Interesting times indeed.

PERIOD BOOBS

I’m moving some entries from a blog i kinda started and then quit..I wanna delete it so moving 1-2-3 posts this side. beginning with this PERIOD BOOBS- written 26 August 2009:

_____

Period boobs are the best! They’re fuller…they’re just nicer, I think I’d like to have my period boobs be my everyday boobs :-)

Thats about the only good thing about periods, other than the fact that THEY INDEED ARRIVED. I’m ready for them to be over now. Sick of this bloatedness and constant aggressive appetite. One more day and then ……SEX!!Woohoo!!

Fruits of labour

I would like to point out that running around for your older cousins can get you things. The wedding went off successfully saturday, i ran around the whole weekend like a mad woman. But I would like to highlight that i am now the proud owner of a brand new Jenni Button Clutch Bag that I have been coveting for a few months, thanks to my cuz! Okaaaaay!!! *big grin :-)

Always the younger cousin.

And it would appear, that no matter how old you get, to family older than you,  you’re still the younger cousin  to be sent around and what not.

I mean, im in Jhb right..but I have been running around jhb like a headless chicken running errands for my older cousins who are in Natal.

  • Fetch the mattress from him
  • buy that stuff at Baby City
  • fetch that document from house
  • over-night it to natal
  • fetch her from the airport
  • drive her to pick up the dress
  • drop her back at the airport
  • give a lift to this one for her.

Yeah, past two weeks have been *fun and the next few days bout to get worse.

So the lesson here is that Seniority trumps everything, atleast in my culture/ family.  If he/she is older than you, you are a child to them (no matter how old you are) and out of respect, you have to be able to be thuma-rable.

I would like to point out that I’s not mad at it though. It is how it is, i know they appreciate my running around for them. I am such a nice child;-) I am sure I will appreciate it, as well, when those junior to me run around at my behest :-) I look forward to it.

just cos i like ya’ll…if you havent seent it already…here it is:Slum village video off the next album w/Baatin. (R.I.P) My mans Dwele directed it, and he features for like 6 glorious seconds in there.MAn do I love me some Dwele. Uyashisa.Uyadingeka.Clean.

Fun

I’m having fun with this tumblr joint. I just have to figure out how to load videos and then I’m in it to win it!

And what d’ya know, I’ve been struggling to change the theme on my gusto blog since last year cos wasnt able to do it myself. Here, in two clicks of a mouse, you can change your theme, I’ve just done it twice today! awesomeness!

Be good….And if you caint be good, be good at it!
