Tagged one too many times!

It looks like no matter how much I try and hide the tags won't go away, It seems that I was tagged by 3 Types of Crazy and Half and Half to post some 8 random things about myself. Despite the fact that I had already given seven before plus a videocast of myself. HnH was right I don't like tags but I hate not being a sport even more so I just have to do something.


I wont post the rules cos' I'm gonna break them all - kwani what will happen if I don't will I be doomed to a streak of bad luck or will I be smitten by a bolt of lightning? I don't think so.
  1. I love eating out; the more exotic the better, of course finances and living out of town is a major impediment but when I can I like to try out new restaurants even if all I can afford is a cup of coffee and a snack. When I was younger I harboured the secret ambition of being a restaurant critic like that lucky jamaa in the Sunday Nation.
  2. I hate confrontation; Whenever there is an argument or disagreement I often choose the walking away option, argueing and fighting is not for me. Even arguments between other peeps I will shun therefore being UN Secretary General is definately not one of my ambitions.
  3. I am a Lazy Shopper; Shopping doesn't do anything for me and will only buy something if it has run out or is absolutely necessary.
  4. I constantly need new information: Not news by the way but I soak up information like a sponge that is why google and wikikpedia are my constant companions as well as the blogs in KBW. If I was to get DSTV it would be because of Discovery, Animal Planet and National Geographic not Supersport, I can always watch soccer in a pub anyway.
  5. I like being straigthforward; I am easily bored by relationship games and rules, the playing hard to get and other dating tire me out I like some one who comes straight out and anakupenda au hakupendi all that beating about the bush will just tire me out.
  6. I have no patience; Especially with lateness, I will always ask when do you want us to meet and trust me I will do everything to be there on time but if the other party keeps me waiting I end up seething with frustration. This is especially worse when someone requests you to pick them up at a certain time and when you arrive there are not ready yet.
  7. I can't sing; Enough said.
  8. I used to stutter; I used to have slight stammer when I was in school which made me very self concious especially when called upon to speak in front of people. Happily now I have been able to conquer that especially that now I am occassionally required to address all the employees at work (over 600 of them imagine).
  9. I had a Yellow Car; This is a bonus, My first car was a bright yellow Toyota Starlet. It certainly was unusal and always managed to attract alot of attention unfortunately it was also difficult to hide your self anywhere especially in a small town like Embu and as soon as you parked it somewhere you would start getting all sorts of messages by folks asking when are you leaving or can we come over. On the good side and in an odd kind of way it was also a babe magnet. I surely miss that car as they always say you never forget the first

That meets my end of the bargain as for the rules I don't think I can tag anyone since I can see almost all the bloggers out there I know have already been tagged.

Seems most bloggers like to keep time.
This being straight forward is a very god thing. It helps one to avoid dramas.

Interesting 8. After the podcast and the seven, I think I can pick u out from a crowd. Hehee

Inexess - This is the reincarnated Krish. The crashaholic Kirima died a few days ago.

W. said...

Unyc said...

Kirima sii I un-tagged you when you threatened to go back on hiatus!!!!! Lakini thanks for stating your 8.

@ 1- I like eating out but hate leaving my house. Go figure

I am with you on the being straight forward- I say let your "yes" be "yes" and your "no" be "no".

Did the yellow car come wit the green basin?

Chatterly said...

that car is yellower than yellow! but if it pulled babes closer ahhh no sweat.
i am also the "no-confrontation" type. I know how to walk away asap.

jm said...

Yenyewe hiyo yellow ni bright sana. I wouldn't feel right getting into that one every morning, even though inaonekana it's who gets out of it @ night that matters, eh?

Anonymous said...

Jadekitten said...

Haiya. That starlet looks very familiar. Did you ever try to sell it in Nai, was it by any chance parked at Posta sacco at some point> I could swurr....

Love eating out? He he...Then be very jealous, I get PAID to eat out, and write about it. Yeah, kinda like that guy at SN...hehe...You should talk to me nicely, the way things are going I might have to get a replacement for the said column.
