“You can cage the singer but not the song.”
- Harry Belafonte
I've been tagged my two people so I figured why not :) So here are 10 random facts about me..
1. I spent the first 15 years of my life growing up in Kenya by the ocean. Those years and experiences have stayed with me since.
2. I've never broken any bones (touch wood).. but I have dislocated my toe, sprained both my wrists and ankles (not all at the same time!), got my head stuck in the car window, trapped my leg between rails (so painful), dropped garden shears straight into my foot, got trapped in a car that was rolling down a hill, drank bleach (by accident- I thought it was water!), and got hit by a car all before I was 13. The next 11 years haven't quite lived up to the previous excitement.
3. I can speak 3 languages (relatively well :p) English, Gujrati and Swahili.. plus I know a little Japanese. As a result, I have a messed up accent.
4. I'm a big fan of practical jokes and water balloons. I once convinced an old school friend that my best friend won the lottery after which he started talking of her as his best friend too. Although that doesn't quite beat the time when I once convinced my friend that I shaved all my hair off for the sake of fashion!
5. My friends have high hopes for a dog wedding.. they actually believe I will literally marry a dog - I have very strange (but ridiculously super awesome) friends who have always been my strength and whom I could not love more.
6. I love to dance and paint.. this relieves a lot of stress and I always feel better.
7. When I was younger I was convinced I was adopted and had a twin sister somewhere out there and we would randomly meet one day. I always kept a look out for her :) I also had an imaginary winged horse called Spirit along with other imaginary friends such as a little alien and a talking penguin.
8. I don't have any pets at the moment but we used to have at one point up to 13 dogs, a parrot and the 2 monkeys that used to beg for breakfast. In the end the monkeys shocked our parrot into an early death.. or so I've been told. It's a sad story and since then I hate seeing birds in a cage.
9. I'm scared that I'll never do all the things that I want to do and to realise that all my dreams and aspirations were in the end just dreams.
10. And finally, I'm a big procrastinator as you can already tell :p
