| about me
I'm a 25 year old female who lives in Ontario, Canada. I was born in USA but I'm Nigerian. I only spent 3 short years in Nigeria (between ages 3 and 6) and visited in 1994 for 6 weeks but I feel pretty connnected to my roots, thanks to my parents who I still live with. I need to go back to Nigeria once I'm finished university. I've got some siblings: one younger sister who is quite beautiful and extremely witty and two brothers, both younger who live to drive me insane, especially the older of the two. They are both very cute boys though and contrary to popular belief I would do anything for them. My parents are my heroes and role models. I really cannot think of anyone who I could have more respect for and aspire to be like. If only this meant that they did not drive me insane often and that I did not clash with them just as often! I worry about my parents' health. I don't spend enough time with them. Likes

People who are afraid of deep conversations, expressing their opinion, and showing emotion. This really bugs me.
I am not an easy person to like. I am bossy and selfish and often think that my opinions/ideas are correct. I am loud (unconsciously most of the time), clumsy, not cute or delicate. I try to behave with good manners because I value manners very highly, and expect some basic good manners in return, even from close friends. I have a hard time believing in the idea of having a 'best friend' who you can trust with any of your secrets but I'm starting to believe that it can happen now because I've been blessed with some pretty kick ass friends. I am too independent: I only ask for help when the alternative is a slow suicide. I become addicted to things easily. I like to make people laugh. I am shyer than I appear. I am sensitive. I cry easily. I don't want to end up a spinster.
Update: I'm quite insecure. I've known this for a while but wow...it's pretty bad. I am not just being cute when I wave away compliments. I can't see myself as attractive under this excess weight, I just can't. When it comes to relationships, something I'm woefully clueless about, I feel this need to have the guy interested in talking to me all the time. I hate this needy feeling and I want to be more self confident. I can't believe that I preach to other people to have an better idea of their self worth but can't really live the philosophy myself. That's horrible.
