Rules: Once you’ve been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 16 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you.(I am not going to tag anybody, so feel free to do one if you want to and I did more than 16)

1. I have double jointed fingers and toes. Yes. It creeps a lot of people out that I can do 90degree angles with my digits. I love it. ( My hands are much prettier than the ones below)
2. Maybe because everyone does it, maybe but I do not find it amusing when I tell people I’m a Psych major and they respond by throwing their hands up in mock fear and yelp, “Oh, so you can read my mind?!”
3. Stealing meat from the saucepan a few minutes after it’s started boiling. I do that
4. I intend to have five children, then create Uganda’s first rock band with my progeny. Deux will be on the bass, Trois the acoustic, Quatre the drums, and Cinq the keyboard although he/she will begin on a baby grand. Uno will do whatever her/his father had in mind. I’m reasonable.
5. I can’t count to save my life. Undiagnosed Dyscalculia. My mother calls it mild Hypochondria.
6. I am one of those black people for whom rhythm is a problem. Yes, we exist.
7. When I was 8, I paid attention to what I was drinking. I mean really paid attention, bouquet, swirl, small sip, the works. I have never looked back.
8. I feel naked in those things, those ones. You know the ones. The ones with no separation between the legs…dr…my fingers won’t type it…
9. I harbor secret dreams of being a Ugandan J.K. Rowling, fairy tell ending et al
10. My nose and I are in the middle of bloody battle for breathing control. In a bid to maintain control of the oxygen that it is responsible for supplying, certain people made claims that there were WMDs (Weapons of Mouth Destruction) hidden in the nose cartilage. Of course we had to move to protect the mouth. The takeover has been unsuccesful. There are insurgents. Of course. My life is hell thanks to this unease in the Middle North. Thanks to antihistamines and handkercheifs and kleenex, we are winning the war. No really, we are.
11. There is this book that I love. It is, to borrow someone else’s words, a heartbreaking work of staggering genius. It is called A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius and in fact, I can’t do it justice here. I shall blog about it which make an easy post because I will simply quote. Woohoo!
12. I am pretty predictable.
13. I have no problems being a kid. In fact I hang out with 15 year olds and below because they play with me. Yesterday we rode from Umeme Entebbe all the way down to Kinyarwanda with bitutwa. Fun
14. I don’t know the english word for bitutwa.
15. I heart xkcd.com
16. I smile a lot. To quote a friend, “ When I’m in the taxi I see you walking to school, and you’re just strolling along, just smiling! And its always!” She said it like I needed ti get my head checked or something. Most likely get my head checked though
17. Anime is genius.
18. There’s a lot I would do for one bag of Haribos. A LOT.
19. I am obsessed with my last name. It means gold. When strangers ask what my names means, family members roll their eyes and one exclaims to agreeing mutters. “What did you ask that for?!”
20. Since we're on the subject of me, if you put the meaning of all my names together and try to make it all mean something, you get, Beautiful, golden little girl rat.
