home sweet home

So I am now in the Mother-land! It’s been good (so far)… I have just been loafing around the place like a waste girl (said with a Jamaican accent) going to greet numerous people…some (read most) I don’t even remember so I just smile and nod…that tactic seems to be working fine so I’ll stick with it.

So as per usual tradition, there wasn’t light the day I arrived (that’s usual we even joke that they know we’ve returned and are just trying to speed up the re-acquaintance with Lagos). But its like these people where prepared for war cos there wasn’t light for a full week!! We ran the generator so much that I actually started to feel sorry for it :)

Even though I’ve been around for a couple of weeks I have only bothered to call 2 people to let them know I am around… I did play a game of whose number is still the same. So if I get really really bored (to the point of death) I’ll know how to reach them. Although at this point in my life I don’t think I have the time or energy for all the nonsense that will come with re-uniting with certain “friends”.

Since I’ve been back I’ve noticed what seems to be a trend…everyone is hooked up with someone…its so bad that I am even beginning to feel a BIT left out…

A guy friend came to see me….and dude is fire!! He’s always been “fine” but for some reason I found myself being attracted to him! Unfortunately or fortunately (depending on how you see it) nothing will ever happen… cos he has a girl friend (told you everyone is coupled down here) and I’ve known dude TOO long (plus he’s comfortable enough to blast (read shit) in my crib knowing that I can probably smell it!!!! So I’ll always be one of the “boys” which is cool…. I think…. But is it OK if he replaces the leading man in my dreams? Lol….

Nigeria (Lagos) should officially be the land of terrible customer service!! See sales people giving major attitude… it’s so bad its funny!! Anyway I guess hunger does a lot to one’s attitude (abi a hungry man is an angry man!)

I have started playing with lipsticks! I bought a RED one and I quite like the way it looks on me (at home lol…. It’ll make its debut soon). I am enjoying being chauffeured around but I think it might be time to learn how to drive. My parents definitely think so…but only God will save me from okada men (guys on motorcycles). At this point that’s on the back burner…

PS is this dude situation normal or even healthy?!!! HELP!!!!!
