by the way,

8 RANDOM THINGS ABOUT ME:

1. i love green. ok, that's not so random, that's obvious.

2. i find paractising Christianity to be the coolest thing ever. wait, it's supposed to be random stuff, right?

3. i'm not so much of a random person,

4. therefore there aren't many random things about me. the floor is open to any of my friends who would like to disagree.

5. but i do have random thoughts sometimes! if Ugandan females wore heels in the more developed countries, it would be more fun experience coz there'd be no potholes, eroded murrum roads, incomplete pavements with worn out manhole covers and incomplete tarmac roads with stones and pebbles on the loose. how this last sentence fits in with what i'm writing? it was just a random thought.

6. well, actually, that last thought was not so random. i was just walking to paragon hospital last night with my sister who is visiting til she goes back to UK, and who was persisting at her futile attempts to find some support from my thin arm as she tried to dodge loose stones, as we walked on that tarmac road between the hospital and the bugolobi flats. i always thought bugolobi roads were nice until she compared them to the ones at cambridge. today, i'm wearing heels because i'm going to an office. all of a sudden, the roads are so unfavourable for my choice of footwear. i can't imagine how i managed to walk through town in them before. how unrandom.

7. what i was doing in paragon last night? if i told u, i'd be continuing the story from no.6 and then it wouldn't be random stuff anymore. not that i'm really writing random stuff about me but at least there's not much of a logical flow! is there? but just to let it out, my sister karru gave birth yesterday to a healthy baby boy. yay!

8. i may not have random thoughts but my imagination does wander about randomly sometimes! there's no water at home. my neighbours don't have water either. the whole of makindye doesn't. my brother at MUK says there's no water at campus. my aunt says there's no water at kyambogo. well, there's no water in kampala for all i know! for the third day in a row now! i wonder...maybe the suppliers had a small problem. a big one, i mean. hmm, maybe some crook wanted to poison the population and nancy drew caught him in time to warn national water guys to cut the supply. maybe some psycho national census workor got obsessed with our evergrowing, already uncontrollable population and thought of the best way to kill some of Uganda's people; poison the water that's supplied to the area with the most dense population... ok, let me not make this another long story on its own. it's just my imagination anyway. nancy drew isn't even real. but i'll still read the papers. there could be clues in any story, if imagine hard enough.

p.s.:
9. i like pop corn, african jewelry and nice non-academic books. u could wrap my gifts in green wrapping paper too.

10. maybe i'll try this post topic some other time, when i discover random stuff about me.
