its raining weirdos!!

I woke up with a start this morning and had an epiphany!
*berry to self*- U have to start blogging more regularly and you need to start finishing gist in ONE post!!

self- but its their fault..nobody reads the blog anymore..y should i care!

berry- maybe they r tired of coming to the page and seeing your one month old post..it gets annoying!

*sigh*

*long post alert*

So..hey!! Wow..all of a sudden..even if this 'dating' was an internal decision..it appears that someone took out an ad for me in some national newspaper because woah!..ive been meeting the weirdest people.

Ok..some of the weird people have nothing to do with dating self

bit of background info- when uni started..i took this job..working with international students during freshers week..u know..picking them from the airport and sorting them out during the week..all that sorta stuff!

1. So this was one of the days when i went to heathrow to pick up some students. I'm at work so obviously..my accent is totally different (as in really..only nigerians understand naija accent)..so im organising people into coaches and stuff and this guy just goes like..

guy- U look nigerian
me- i am

*guy bursts into laughter*

guy- oyiiiinbo!

me thinking 'WTF' ????

ME- pardon
guy- what did you just say..u said perdon..y are u sounding like that

*i stare at him blankly*

2. So im working inside uni this day..im at the door of the marquee..holding a clicker which is basically just to count the number of people that come into the marquee..this guy comes over (it doesnt help that i have a huge name tag with my nigerian name on it)..

guy- hello
me- *smiling* hiii
guy- so you are a nigerian
me- yeah *still smiling*
guy- so u were born here abi?
me- um..no.
guy- you can tell from my accent that i just came abi??

now let me just mention here that i have nothing against meeting nigerians..i just dont like
(a) the familiarity- were not automatic friends because were from the same country
(b) judging me- im sorry if i dont sound nigerian enough for you..it happens ok? get over it! and im at work..when im with my friends..i can be wateva i want to be..but at work..i neeed to let people understand me!!!

3. So im at home on my day off. My flatmate comes back laughing and excited..

flatmate- can u imagine what happened at work today?? this guy comes over to me and asks if i remember him..im looking at him blankly..then he says..oh its not u..im looking for the girl that was holding that clicking thing..i dressed up for her

*apparently he was wearing a suit!!*

so basically he asked quite a few people for me and everybody had a laugh about it..what the hell??

4. I'm at the marquee..this guy comes over..he's cute sha..

guy- im technically not an international student..because ive been here for a while..but i just thought i'd see what was happening here
me- where are u from
guy- ghana
me- some happy speech that im supposed to give..about how we can help and stuff
guy hangs around and makes conversation till i volunteer to go and work somewhere else.

later in the day guy comes back to look for me. hangs around till i finish work. walks with me part of the way home. we swap numbers. comes to look for me the next day..etc

third day- tells me how hes attracted to me (physically purely) and bla bla bla..riiite...(although i wont lie to u..for him to feel attracted to me in that horrible uniform!!!)

5. Remember bulgy muscle guy that i was telling you about in the last post?? kai! that guy has a way of making me RUUUUUUUUUN!!

guy- u have a great body..i have a great body..were going to make some beautiful babies

um...WTF??? how is it that great bodies= beautiful babies???

guy- berry, i want to be your boyfriend, i want you to be my girlfriend, i want you to be part of my family, i want you to meet my family, i want us to build our careeres together, i want us to buy a house together......

me - *starting blankly at my phone and wondering what ive done to deserve this*

what even made the speech crazier was that he was actually at a hse party and he went to his car to call me! i hoope he was drunk!! i really do!!

ok..thats all i can do today mehn!..ill dedicate my next post to the 'other guy' i mentioned at the end of my last post!!

xx

Foray into the tigers Den!

So i'm out with this guy. In the car, on the way back, he turns and asks 'are you wearing makeup?'..im like 'no'..i looked at him and in my mind i was thinking 'o boy-u know see that fat white thing wey dey my forhead?? Na pimple dem de call am!!'

But yeah- so im kind of dating again-this means going out on actual dates, not whatever other meaning there is of that word-and believe me it is not a sexy experience. But then sexy os a relative word because maybe this guy should be sexy- lets call him GB-gym body. Mehn this guy if 6 3'' and he has some kind of bulgy muscles-that too me is TOO MUCH!! kini?? I prefer my guys smaller-i dont mind the height-but all that muscle-neh..ill pass! whats more-hes older-not by much to be fair, 5yrs. But thats enough to put him in a different league, i.e, marriage weighs heavy on his mind and on my own mind?? not so much!! Not to be a bitch, he opens doors and pays, makes sure i get home safe (by dropping me there)-mehn na jand we dey o, guy go jus give you tube map and say bye bye, he doesnt mind that i dont say much and hes all smiles around me- *sigh*

So yeah-im dating again-and theres this other guy....
