I have belatedly thought about writing the 100 Things About Me meme. Well, anyway, here goes. This will come in installments. Twenty each day for five days. The first twenty so and so things about ME…..
1.I’m 5’1” small, black hair, black eyes, brown skin
2.I know that I’m not what you may call beautiful today. But I’ve always been told I was a pretty child. I don’t know what happened in between the 10th and 30th years.
3.I loved reciting poems in front of the mirror when I was a little girl.
4.I grew up sleeping in my own house and having meals at my grandmother’s house, day in and day out.
5.I love to watch the wet leaves glimmer at night after a rainfall.
6.I always thought Sunday was the saddest day of the week. It felt like the end of the world.
7.I talk in my sleep. Always.
8.I was perpetually haunted with nightmares about witches and gargoyles when I was a kid. That’s because I didn’t pray hard said my grandma. But no matter how many dozen holy names I invoke in my nightly prayers, I always end up being chased by the hideous gargoyles and shrieking witches. They never caught me.
9.I love to read poetry.
10.I love to write poetry.
11.I have an angel kisses birthmark on my nape.
12.I want my guardian angel to show herself before me.
13.I wonder what it’s like being made love to. By an incubus.
14.As a young girl, I always grew my hair waistlong in the rainy season, and cut it short like a boy’s bob in the summer. For no practical or particular reason.
15.I always thought there was something wrong with my old folks. Then I discovered my grandfather had a disturbing character in him. He was an artist. I will not tell what I discovered.
16.My grandmother hated me for being my grandfather’s favorite.
17.I hated my grandfather for my grandmother’s resentment.
18.I hated them both. They’re long dead.
19.I am married with one son.
20.My son is the most important person in the world to me now, next to of course,God.
