Strangely, God has created certain "weird" things in each of us that we have to embrace. See, He is such a brilliant architect! If we were all the same, where would the fun be?

Seven weird things about me...

I like dancing in front of the mirror. It is soooo weird. After a shower or after brushing my teeth, coming in front of the mirror is simply sheer bliss. The mirror is one of my best friends. It is soooo much fun, and I usually don't think I'm crazy while I'm doing it. But some minutes after, I start asking myself what I just did. I don't just dance, I sing songs as well in front of the mirror. Lol. It makes me happy.


I laugh a lot. Up to the extent that if I'm not laughing my friends will think there's something wrong with me. Although, there may be nothing wrong with me when I'm not laughing, its just that the environment may not be conducive for laughing! That's why I like people who can make me laugh. If you're a very good jokes star, you have a very strong probability of becoming a laughing pal.


When I was 8 yrs old I had a book series called 'Amanda.' Talk abt being a weirdo. Ok, first Amanda was I and my sister's paper doll. We had real dolls, but it didn't matter...it was obviously more creative to make dolls out of paper. Oh, those were beautiful times. Plus we used to make fancy clothes for the paper doll as well. Then when my mum came home, we would hide the doll and all the paper houses and cars under the living room furniture, and my mum would find them and shout. Anyways, so I had big dreams for Amanda. I started writing about her and her family. I wrote about how her and her brothers solved a mystery once (think 'Famous Five' type story). So their father was a lawyer and someone was trying to blackmail him, so they rode on their bicycles at the middle of the night and decided to solve the mystery on their own, and they did. Smart kids, Amanda and her siblings! I still have some copies left.

I save all my birthday cards, valentine day cards e.t.c. I mean, how can people throw them away? Those are great treasures! Especially if it is a blank card where the card-giver writes their own special sentiments. How precious! Oh, I loveeeee "funny" cards, usually from crazy people. And I give out a lot of funny cards to people as well. It's just fun! Lollll...

"May your friday be blessed. Let ALL that is within you begin to burst out into praise, because in the presence of God, there is really a fullness of joy. Experience it."

I love this playlist esp. the song by Jason Upton after hearing it I started counting pennies to get his CD.
And the Ps. 77 piano is beautiful for a while that was my fave. Psalm you should read it in The Message translation
Now let mii c if i can come up with 7 wierd things.
Some insight into who you are...
I love shopping alone and i dont thi nk its weird..Nor do i think dancing and singing in front of the mirror is odd as well...
But i love you quoting from Pretty Woman...I see you are a hopeless romantic....
OK. Know some that keep b'day cards etc, still wonder what the purpose is though. I will try to wake up the romantic in me.
As consistent as ......Jaycee.
How have you been?
lol. i really enjoyed reading this. I am with you on saving birthday cards. I also have all my love notes as well.
Lol

@ ms Ken. I need help right? Lemme tap on the Holy Spirit...
@ Jem...tell me about it!
@ Remi, personal conversations with gucci and prada, lollll...weirdo! A big AMEN to your prayer for an increased vision and increased ability to do the will of God. You don't even know how much I needed that prayer. It's something to hear God telling you to do somn, and another thing to obey. I pray the same for you in Jesus Name, Amen.
@ Carlang...nooooooooo...Amanda was not the doll everyone hated. That was CHUCKY!!!! Ahn ahn now...

I really enjoyed reading this the other, but just realised I didnt leave a comment. I too like dancing in front of the mirror, but I don't get time to do that these days.....always in a rush..lol..
ok...i tried...
how r ya?
You are not weird dear. Just cute!lol!
I can relate to some of ur "weirdness".
Nice post.
I do the performing( dancing, singing, model posing) in front of the mirror thing A LOT! lol! so we're both weird.
I also like to shop alone too way less stressfull.
I love the way you write - so effortlessly soulful.
I love shopping alone as well. In fact what I love more is shopping alone on a Saturday morning even if it's just window-shopping, then sit down at Starbuck with my pile of magazines and my Saturday paper. Starbucks is my reading spot so I can see how it might be your writing spot. Heck, what's wierd about that? Every writer needs their writing spot!
