Xpress Urself!


Howdy ma peeps?....Hope you guys are having a great week.........
I soooooooooo lovd the Nokia ad that said,”ur world’s in ur head”………….


So,I am a really reserved kinda chic,by nature I think almost too much cos truth be told I love to think. I once complaind to a frnd of mine that I didn’t undastnd y most ppl see me as a snob the first tym they meet me and she answerd saying, “cos ur always thinkn and lookn all serious that’s y”……..

The truth is,I sumtyms think even in ma sleep,lyk serious deep thots………that’s y I am hardly,if ever lonely cos most tyms u see me flying solo I am so lost in thots I dnt really knw whats going on arnd me……….

Well,I was at the saloon just ystday and the girls were talkn abt this quiet,innocent-lookn chic that was caught stealn from a frnd’s boss……..they were lyk the chic didn’t even look lyk she cud hurt a fly and all that,I was lyk not all quiet ppl are good you knw and most tyms they think really bad thots…….

It made me remember one tym when I was on IT and ma boss caught me listening to Lagbaja’s Konko below on a colleague’s i-pod while doing ma work in the lab,the minute he heard it and realized that I was going word for word,he named me “deceptive”…….he said he wud neva hav blivd that I even knew Lagbaja,not to talk of listen to it lyk that…..

But I don’t bliv that you hav to be loud all the tym to get ppl’s attention. As a leo,the consensus is that we love attention but personally there is nothing I hate more than being viewd thru a microscope. I hav neva been a crowd person thou being quiet whl you hav razz frnds actually maks you a crowd magnet but still,I cherish ma words more than anything. I bliv words hav the power to do and undo……….thats y I always take ma tym to explain maself and I so hate being misundastood…….

I hav also heard the occasional “you feel you got it all” comment. But most often than not,I am always tryna figure it out lyk you..I just dnt lyk to

I got to watch a youth program some days back on cable….The topic was,”are shy ppl rude?”…….there were a lot of interestn feedbacks but I cudnt undastnd y any1 wud link shy to rude? I mean a lot of loud ppl are so rude as well,but I don’t see y not pretending to like you when I dnt wud translate to being rude.

So many ppl I hav met ova the years hav been baffled by the fact that I am so quiet yet knw a lot and dress the way I do.

I hav said this before and wud neva get tired of sayn that by nature I am a trouser-shorts person…I hav always felt more comfortable wearing them,it myt be linkd to the fact that the rest of gang(ma brothers) wears that as well but it just so happens to be ma nature by default. But I dnt undastnd y wearing that translates to being loose???

And as far as ma opinions go,even ma dad seems to argue with me now and then on international affairs and at the conclusion of our long discussion he wud say,”y do you always look too deep into things?”…………so you see,its just me!!!


I gotta run outta here nw,Catch you guys on the other side okay....
Cheerz!!!

Wearing pants/trousers is Still considered loose???

I can see people mistaking quiet people for snobs but rude? Nah, i don't see that.

People say all sorts cos they can't figure you out...pay them no mind.

Nice one. I also always mistaken for the "can-never-hurt-a-fly" types. I went to a store close to where i lived for 3 yrs in my undergrad days to buy cigarettes for a friend, and the guy selling had to ask me if i was sure about what i wanted to buy!!!

nice blog! first time too!!

BSNC said...

Myne Whitman said...

Maybe not rude but I have been called arrogant because I preferred my own tots and company to other people. Na so life be, you can never satisfy everyone so just be yourself.

i think people jus look for a way to explain wat they dont understand..
people dont want to see others as intuitive...they rather see them as snobbish..
people dont wanna see others as honest, they wanna see them as rude...its jus life

btw..i never knw they now linked shyness wiv rudeness o gosh!..people need to get lives!

If you're loud you're rude. If you're quiet you're rude. Lol people need to make up their minds forreal.

Some of the world's smartest people were thinkers o! Think away jo!

Truth is what ppl don't understand they condemn, I don't see how being shy translate to rude.
So u have such discussions with ur dad too huh!
Thanks for stopping by my blog much much earlier.

I can understand why shy people can be misjudged as proud, esp. if they look 'fly'. Rude? Maybe becuz they dont go out of their way to (over)greet people? I dont really know. It used to bother me becuz I am reserved too but really it's their own problem. I have realised that folks will talk anything they want to, so I work on areas that need improving in my personality and do kunnen doki to people's opinions. Freedom!

Hope you've been good sha. Happy November and na gode da shoutout!

Am I getting the impression that most bloggers are people who 'live in the head' i.e. Thinkers?

Everybody agrees with you on this.

Me too.
