Food is love they say.
Ok so the reason I rename the people in my life is so as not to defame their character...
and I'm not naming them after food because I'm a cannabal, but because when my brother and I were kids we came up with a series of imaginary games. In one of our little worlds, all the male characters were named after food, and the women after objects. I think my name was Mirror, and my boyfriend was Pizza... LOL
But seeing as I do not wish to objectify women, I'll be fair and name everyone after food. I love food, and I love my people, it's all the same. And some people are just so delicious!
Ok I'll stop writing now before one thinks I'm crazy....

Back to Blogging
It's been years now since I've kept a solid blog.
The first time I blogged I was a misguided preteen with a livejournal account.
I was raised on computers, my dad being a programer/graphic designer/i.e. computer genious, I was installing programs in Dos on our amiga at the age of 5, haha computer nerd in training, and dabbling in adobe photoshop since it first came out.
Anywase all this to say in grade 5 I met my best friend, who I will call Cake, who was also a computer savy girl, together we taught ourselves html, and enjoyed the whole icq chat thing, and of course we started blogging together.
We recorded the most mundane details of our lives, I read it now and cringe, I'm glad I'm not a teenager any more, I have to admit some of it is pretty funny. I read it whenever I need a good laugh.
but after a few years of writing in this thing, Cake, Sprinkles(part of our thrio of best friends) and I started using our blogs to attack each other when we were angry at each other... I'm so ashamed to think how immature I was...
And my I was an angry teenager! I never realised how bad a temper I had until I started reading some of my old posts :| Hopefully I have somewhat grown out of that...
In the past year I resolved not to write people angry letters, but to always confront them in person, when possible anywase. that way I can properly interpret their tone of voice, since you can't get that in written form, and the problem with writing letters to people is it can be so impersonal, you can say horrible nasty things to someone and feel nothing since you're staring at an empty dead computer screen. It's nothing like looking into the eyes of someone you love.
I have many resolutions this year, last year was the best year of my life, I learned so much, and changed alot, I traveled to Africa for 3, and then all over Europe for 2 months. This year I plan to travel again, first to Nigeria to see my grandparents again and to start a business making women's clothing with african fabric, and then to Ibiza, Spain, to work for the whole summer. And I plan to chronicle it all in my blog! I kept a diary in Nigeria last year but not while I was in Europe! I really wish I had because there are some amazing stories I don't want to forget!
So I will get into the habit now, I want to remember all my travels this way :)
