I HOPE EVERYTHING IS AWESOME WITH YOU LOVERLY LADIES.

Katsiyamo

PS. thanx for the "fanmail"...too sweet. *smiles*

HEYHEY, this post is pretty long because it might be the last post for this year because of my trip to my motherland (sings SWAAAZILAND!)…and figured I’d go out with a bang (!!!) *dance*

_okay, I’d like to start off by saying how happy I am to know peeps like you (OMGawd; just found a way to use “peeps” in a semi-sentimental sentence *dances* lolz) and I’m glad for the internet cause I got to meet someone like you (slo-mo hug coupled by a montage set to a weird Al song)…haha…anyhu…

_hope you have a super much fantastic holiday; don’t do something I wouldn’t do—which if I’m being honest leaves everything fun out so I guess that’s advice you can ignore, lolz.

_Take tones of pictures. Post them all up (even the ones where you’re pissed drunk and your t-shirt is on the floor near that guy who’s name you don’t remember but for some reason has your handbag and omg, is that your g-string?!) *laughs haughtily to herself*

_Don’t make too-hard New Year’s revolution, you don’t suck as much as you think…but if you do; I don’t think a half-baked but well-meant New Year’s resolution fix you, my friend.

Anyhu…answers to questions I get often and my general opinion on general things. Don’t act shocked; you know you’ve been lying awake at night wondering about me …I’m popular by demand *flips blonde hair out of face* lolz

On Music

You’ve heard my opinion on that too much but let me just say something cause that is what Katsiyamo is about…well, I do love music a way way too much…(I doubt I’ll need to supply proof for that, officer)

WHAT IS YOUR PLAN? WHERE DO YOU SEE YOURSELF IN THE MUSIC WORLD-NESS?

Uhm, I would very much like to do live performances but I don’t have time right now to market myself or anything or do anything for real with the IGCSE’s coming next year. But if I could see myself on a stage with some instrument bellowing my I’m-a-teenage-drama-queen-hopelessly-in-love-with-love music, in a beautiful Ghanaian-print dress (for those who aren’t fans of my awesome-tude; I’m not Ghanaian but I just love their fabric prints), no shoes, a huge afro or dreadlocks and a crowd that stood sill long enough to make me feel like I wasn’t the only one in the world who got it I would honestly be truly happy. Seriously. *nods wisely* Oh, and I’m not on some other “I wanna get a recording contract” tip cause like I’ve said many times before; if I had to do this for a living I would hate it and I would hate myself for becoming one of those people who sings kak songs just so they can sell albums…yep…

On Life

Things I’ve learnt so far: no-one is better than anyone else. It doesn’t matter how wealthy they are, how old they, how often they get credit for stuff they do, how many lovers they have, how famous they are, how often they get sexulated, the colour of their skin, the size of their *clears throat* equipment, what car they drive, how skinny they are, how “beautiful” they are, or how cool you think they are. I’ve learnt that most of the time people don’t deserve the praise you give them and that people you hero-worship always disappoint you (except Steve Biko, Bob Marley and of course, Obama *giggles*…oh! And me :D)And also if you wanna be happy put on your favourite, dancing track in the morning and DANCE DANCE DANCE; that’s why I haven’t been sad in fffooooooorrrrreeeeevvvver! J J oh, and dance in the shower, dance while you eat, dance why you type, dance while you read this—hell dance while you dance!!! And also allow yourself to inhale and really enjoy every note of your dance song. Dance to anything with a beat…it works I promise and sing along and make hand gestures and mime the lyrics. Yes Yes Yes !!! Oh and don’t make money your root of happiness cause, tsala yame, o tlaa baka go fitlhela o nkgopola. I’m a young soul in this strange world hoping I could learn a bit about how to give and take…

On Love

This would probably be the first time I blog about love even though most of my songs (that you’ve never heard: lolz) are about it. Well here is a bunch of questions I get asked often…(remember the popular by demand note *winks like a father*)

ARE YOU CURRENTLY SEEING SOMEONE, YOU HANDESOME DEVIL, YOU?

Honestly? *thinks* … *counts on her fingers* … *counts on her toes* … *goes through her text-message inbox on her Nokia* … *looks out the window and smiles at the sun* … no.

OOOH...KAY. DO YOU PLAN ON IT ANY TIME SOON?

_I don’t see myself getting into anything particularly time-consuming but I tend to fall like head-over heels in love with random people anyway so I can’t say I won’t be married to someone by next week…I’m crazy like that.

I DON’T MEAN TO PRY BUT ARE YOU SOME KIND OF HOMOSEEEXUAL?!

Uhm, no. I’m not.

_I have homosexual lyrics because I love love women(though I’m not particularly fond of lesbians) but if I met an awesome fellow I would not hesitate to tap that.

_Well, it should be said that I tend to set a higher bar for men than for women. My taste in both differs. Example, I find men with unconventional looks extremely loveable. Guys that don’t normally make it to the pages of Seventeen’s OMG-THEY’RE-SO-FUCKING-HOT-I-WANNA-DIMINISH-MY-ALREADY-LOW-SELF-ESTEEM issue do it for me, baby *winks*…And I have an embarrassingly severe weakness for men with curly hair *screams* I am a failure…lolz. Women that don’t think they’re beautiful and think that being “not as hot as Jessica Alba” is something to be ashamed are a MAJOR turn-off. Seriously. But generally girl-next-door-I-bake-in-my-spare-time women who have pets are my kinda lasses. J You know you wanna make out…its okay. *group hug*

Oh, and advice for people that are already in relationships: LOVE HIM/HER AS THOUGH THEY DIED AND YOUR WISH FOR THEIR RE-EXISTENCE HAS JUST BEEN GRANTED. (does that make sense?)

On kids

I know I’m young but I really don’t see that in the cards because I don’t think I would be a good parent cause my parents suck ass and I don’t have very child-friendly qualities (I have a short temper and I suck at sharing). I would like to have a kid but it shouldn’t be about what I’d like to do, it should be about what is good for the kid who’s gonna be born into this world, you know. I believe that every kid raised right is a benefit to all of mankind. It’s not “every self-involved person’s wish coming true is a benefit to the world”. There should actually be an application process to be a parent. Like there is for adopting parents. People should be screened, dammit! It would make the world a mucho better place. J *breathes out* glad I got that off my chest…

On this blog

You guys. I’m waaay too honest, I’ve realised. You don’t even have to ask me questions; my entire life story is published online. Shit. I’ve always wondered why I attract stalkers. Not only do I rock so much it should be illegal (hell, I think it is in some Asian countries) I’m waaaay too easy to access. *shakes head disappointedly* And also in general i'm pretty honest; mostly i'm proud of myself but sometimes i'm really embarrased by it...:(

Anyhu, I end 2008 on this note: I’ll tell ya what I want what I really really want (so tell me what you want what you really really want!) I wanna I wanna I wanna I wanna I wanna I really really really really wanna ZIGGY-ZIG AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!

(And I’ll live it hard, bitches!)
