• Of vampires and werewolves... Straight up delicious looking.

  I have now shamelessly watched 'twilight' FOUR TIMES!
  
  I didn't get romance movies and books before. The whole "he buried his head in her shuddering blossom while his throbbing..." wasn't appealing at all. However, intense expressions of hurt and betrayal, the anxiety at the prospect of losing one's beloved and the seemingly undying love, i get that now. I get ALL of it. Hence watching twilight four times and finishing the book series (twilight, new moon, eclipse and breaking dawn) in one week. They were really good. And no, Stephanie Meyer- that would be the author, isn't paying me for the marketing!
  
  After finishing the books, i couldn't help but want a vampire and/or werewolf that's crazy over me. In the books, vampires are creatures that do the whole soul mate thing... Even though some of them had to wait decades to find their true love. (Awww...) werewolves on the other hand 'imprint' when they meet the one. They know. Suddenly, the world makes sense, gravity practically changes, the person becomes your world. I think it's just amazing. I did a note on intense type love a sometime back. I would mind if some rogue vampires or whatever wanted to kill me. I want that kind of love. Another plus was, in the movie, the guys who played Edward Cullen (vampire) and Jacob Black (soon to be werewolf) were just straight up delicious looking. If you haven't seen the movie... Stop reading this. Go watch it. Go watch it now.
  
  It would be much simpler. We wouldn't have to go through unnecessary drama, awkward dates, heartbreak and unpleasant sex (ugh...) you'd just meet the one and know. How AWESOME (for lack of a better word) would that be? A fatal attraction. Plus apparently they're good in the sack...
  
  I want my own! So if there's any of ya'll out there. The "cold ones" or the "descendants of wolves"... Hola at me!
  
  Oh. Some of my friends were hating on the movie because it wasn't as detailed as the book. The movies never are... But it helps when the actors are mad fine. Hehehe...
  
  Just in case ya'll missed the point... (mbithi) the emphasis is on the type of love these mythical creatures posses. The fact that they're goodlooking is just gravy!

• Ugh...

  I went out for a bit yesterday. It was gloomy and i'd been indoors all day. I had to get out of the house. I went and had a few too many with friends, then Ummm... I had an experience that's so not worth writing about. So not. Ugh... Why'd i even bother... I'm now back at home, in bed. I'm not going out for another month. Maybe two. I'll wait till i get home. Clubbin... Among other things (let your mind wander) is soooo overrated.
  
  In other news. I make my own iced tea and yeah. It's pretty amazing.

  Friday afternoon, there's a power black out, me and L do the sensible thing, getting fast food and passing by the liqour store on the way home. There was a queue at the store coz of the black out (trust varsity students always make an appearance at the liqour store) and who joins in after us??? A! A is the hot lesbo freshman i'm sure i've mentioned in previous posts. How nervous was I??? Here's this girl i've only talked to thrice, but HotDAMN! Hehehe... I'm still giggling.
  
  I like men. Looooove men. Guys are hot. Well the hot one's are... But this chick is so cool. All nonchalant, acting like she doesn't know how much she confuses girls. She is so hot. So back to friday, the queue was moving so slowly and although she was on the phone for like a third of the time, (i wasn't counting minutes or anything) She starts talking to L and i got to squeeze like five words into the conversation. *great success*
  
  I know it's not a big deal, but considering i haven't felt that excited around a dude in months, figured it was worth sharing.
  
  Caffeineaddict over and out.
  
  Ps, i'm trying out this new tea. It's called "kericho gold" awesome stuff! I know i said i'd never diss ketepa, but this new tea is the shit!

• Proverbs on women and traditional things...

  Posted: April 18, 2009, 5:27 pm by misscaffeineaddict

  I was reading this book, "source of all evil" by Mineke Schipper. It's basically african proverbs and sayings on women. They're really old school, think villages, traditional dances, bear breasts, kola nuts, clitoridectomy, earthenware plates, thatched roofs, co-wives, etc. Etc. Reading the book clearly took me back. Interesting how many of them can still be applied to... well, today.
  Here's some of my favourites...
  
  1. Women and sky cannot be understood (gikuyu, kenya)
  
  2. Pluck the pumpkin, you must take the leaves. (tonga, zambia)
  - no woman is without baggage, be it from past relationships, or pain in your ass relatives.
  
  3. What a girl wants, she'll get an any price (rwanda, rwanda)
  
  4. No girl ever died without being told "turn my way" (rwanda, rwanda)
  - summary, no girl, Lemmi rephrase that, every girl gets hit on by someone. Be it a one-eyed, nasty looking smelly dude with a wierd fashion sense, every girl gets hit on by someone.
  
  5. Better a short penis that sleeping alone (baule, ivory coast)
  - this one's... Self explanatory.
  
  6. Woman is like a shadow. Go to her, she flees. Leave her, she follows you. (luba, zaire : somali, somalia)
  -chicks always want the ones who play hard to get.
  
  7. Women are like gourds; they cannot balance. (gikuyu, kenya)
  - women are unstable.
  
  I'll add more. Again, it's a really good book.

• Ready for Love... Or whatever the urban youth are calling it these days.

  Posted: April 9, 2009, 4:14 am by misscaffeineaddict

  I have been single for longer than i'm proud of. Between getting over my ex, hating men, fearing commitments, one night stands, being a love sceptic and my bi-curious phase, i guess looking for love, or atleast embracing anything close to it wasn't on my to do list.
  
  Now i find myself craving something more. I want the whole nervous when i get to meet his momma, head spinning, pulse racing, nervous sweating, feet pacing, mindless rambling, hand holding, phone calling, photo taking, love making type thing. I want that.
  
  I want to meet him. Progress. I didn't say him or her this time. Yeah. Him. The one who'll make life a bit more pleasant, and make me a mix tape, (or atleast a play list on his ipod) the one who i talked about in my 'i want mine' post,
  i'm in the middle of a potentially good movie. I'll get back to this soon.
  
  The movie was cool. I thought it was. 'the great debaters' denzel washington is timeless...
  
  Back to the post. I guess i wouldn't want or crave intimacy as much if i was home. I have an almost disfunctional relationship with my close friends. We are extremely close so i never noticed the void when they were around. We just had mad fun times, and we'd hate on other couples. They're single too. Go figure.
  
  I just want something of substance. Something intense. I'm forgetting what it felt like. The whole being in love deal. It's not cool.
  
  *Sigh*

• Melancholy...

  Posted: April 7, 2009, 11:53 pm by misscaffeineaddict

  Loneliness...
  After weeks of locking myself in my room during the day, ignoring phone calls and text messages, only drinking at home, though now i'm down to not drinking at all and watching and re watching all the movies i have on my hard drive... I'm tired. I'm bored. I'm so freakin lonely... It's pathetic.
  
  Everyone goes through one of these phases right? I'm just kinda tired of the people around me. I'm tired of how nothing's changing, life seems to be passing me by, in fast forward, changes i wanted to make about myself... From three years ago, i'm still unable to.
  
  I'm lying in bed. Watching already watched episodes of "the war at home" full from the large pizza i made disappear(it was healthy though, it had pineapple), on a tuesday night, at 8.00 pm during my mid semester break. How dull is that...
  
  Maybe it's my melancholia taking it's toll. Ugh. I'm just tired. And bored. And lonely. It sucks.

Blah blah blah

Fish cakes

Alas a fish cake.

Yet more fish cakes

Guess what ... yeah ... fish cakes.

The end of the fish cakes
