Can you guess what is better than one blog award? Two Blog Awards! Around the same time, Nedoux gave me the Sisterhood of the World Bloggers award, Tendrils, a.k.a. Obianuju, also gave me one.  You can imagine my joy! The song that comes to mind (even though nobody asked me) is:

Everything na double double o

Na double double

Award na double, double o

Hehe! I couldn’t resist.

Uju, thank you so so much for this award.  I truly appreciate it.  And thank you for being ever so patient with me.  It took me a while, but here I am.  Also, thank you for the wake-up call to finish that romance story.  No more slacking off, thanks to you.  *smiles*

Now let’s dive into Uju’s questions, shall we?

First off, the Rules:

1. Thank the blogger who nominated you, linking back to their site;
2. Put the award logo on your blog;
3. Answer the ten questions sent to you;
4. Nominate five blogs;
5. Make up ten new questions for your nominees to answer.

Let’s run through this list now, shall we?

#1: Thanks again, Uju for the award, and for the kind words about my stories.  🙂

# 2: Now, I took the liberty of scouring the internet for a similar logo.  Why? Because Y has a long tail and two branches.

*dodges slippers thrown in her direction and yells* “You need to work on your throws! More to the left next time!”

Now, for the 3rd rule.

Tendrils, you really thought this thing through (unintended alliteration … Oops!)

How on earth shall I answer these questions? Where is expo extra help when you need it?

*gulps*

Here we go ….

10 Questions from Tendrils

Question 1: Pancakes or spaghetti?

Answer: Uju, I am suspecting you o! I feasted on Spaghetti and meatballs this past weekend, and pancakes earlier this month.

*eyes narrowed*

How did you know?

*giggles*

I prefer spaghetti jare! It’s a heartier meal than pancakes.  And who doesn’t like meatballs?

*grins mischievously*

Besides, for my mind sha, pancakes should only be eaten at breakfast (Trust me, I don’t limit myself).  But, spaghetti can be eaten for brunch, lunch, linner (or dunch) and dinner.  Yes, dunch and linner are weird, but real.

In short sha, here’s the score: 4 – 1, with Spaghetti taking the lead.

In your face, Pancakes!

Question 2: What do you like most about yourself?

Answer: I don’t take myself (too) seriously.  It helps.

Question 3: What is your primary love language?

Answer: One of my love languages is receiving gifts.

Having said that …

*clears throats and continues in much softer tone*

Christmas is coming o … And I’ve been (mostly) nice this year so … yeah …

*singing*

“Wee Wee Chu, a Melly Klissmas ….”

Question 4: What is your foremost personality type (Choleric, melancholy, phlegmatic or sanguine?)

Answer: Uju, can I be honest with you? I don’t know.  This is one of those things I haven’t done, i.e. taken a personality test.  Or two.  But it’s definitely on my to-do list.

However, I am 100% sure of this:

I don’t have cholera.

*dodges slippers again and this time, yells* “Aim more to the right! You really need more practice!”

Question 5: What is your favourite fabric?

Answer: I don’t have one, but here’s the first answer that comes to mind:

Lace.

It’s timeless, elegant and has been tortured to death by Nigerians.  I don’t know much about fashion trends, but I am pretty sure there’s lace in Nigeria’s fashion future.

Question 6: If you were to give me a gift based on the contents of this blog alone, what would it be?

Answer: The Sausage Roll Episode with your brother comes to mind.

So, I would give you a machine, device (something that isn’t made of wood sha) that reads minds and can foresee the next pastry-related request, makes these pastries for him (with your special recipe, of course), follows him to school, assists him with selling these baked goods to his school mates at a profit and (this is the critical part) brings you a share of the profits.

In short, I would gift you a robot.

Question 7: What behaviour annoys you the most in people?

Answer: Ah, I have a list of behaviors, but let’s stick with these for now:

Wuru-Wuru-ness.  Crookedness. Dishonesty. General shady behavior.  To me, these are all character defects.

Question 8: If your best friend who has been there for you through thick and thin, asks your permission to date your ex, who you still have feelings for, what would you say?

This wouldn’t apply to me, but here’s what Nene (With Love From Asaba) would say:

“Come, come, come, Boluke. So you’ve been eyeing Paul ehn? You don’t know there are certain lines you don’t cross, certain rules you don’t break? Rule # 1 of the Girl Code, yes, the one I wrote, says “Thou Shalt not date your best friend’s ex.”  The day you date my ex, you sef you haff turn to ex-best friend.  The choice is yours!”

Question 9: What is your favourite snack?

I don’t have a particular one, but I like puff-puff o.  Hot, fluffy, spongy, sweet kpoff-kpoff, not like those hard, rock buns that you throw on the wall and then they bounce back.  Makes you wonder if they’re made of rubber.  Why would anyone want to eat those?

But then, I’m sure some people can’t stand puff-puff.

Question 10: Tell me something I don’t know about you …

*voice drops to a whisper*

“I can see without my glasses!  Shhhh! Don’t tell anyone.”
