Another 35 sentences about Me
Dresses are my favourite type of clothing. Especially 50s style dresses. I would move to New York in a heartbeat. I want to settle down and have kids in Canada. I have 2 tattoos. I have a butterfly on the upper left hand side of my back and three stars on my left hip. My sister also has the same three stars on her left hip. I want a few more and the only reason I haven’t had them yet is because I don’t want to run out of good spots on my body to tattoo. I wrote my Undergraduate dissertation on feminism and porn. It was titled ‘Pornography: Men possessing women or freedom of expression?’ I have a Masters in International Business Law. I was a cheerleader for the basketball team in university. We were rubbish.
I think I’m a tomboy. I hardly ever wear make up and live in jeans and trainers. And yet, people tend to describe me as a girly girl. I don’t understand it. I am very secure about myself. My new year’s resolutions are to go to church more often, finish my book and run a half marathon this year. I’m doing well on the first one and the last one, but finishing my book? Hmmm. I have lots of different handwritings. I hate being centre of attention. I have a green belt in Karate. As a child, my parents made me take French, Piano and Guitar lessons. I really wanted to learn to play the violin. As soon as they gave us the choice to stop our lessons, I gave them all up. I wish I hadn’t. I’ve dressed up as a school girl, a sexy devil, an angel and a gangster for Halloween and fancy dress parties over the years. Oh, and my mum dressed me up as a hula girl for my first birthday party. My fashion icons are Nicole Richie, Rachel Bilson, Carmen Electra and Laura Bailey.
As children, my sister, brother and I would put on plays and shows to entertain guests. The cities I’ve visited other than places I’ve lived in are New York, Seattle, Vancouver, Victoria, Budapest, Rome, Paris, Madrid, Barcelona, Athens, Rhodes, Crete and Cairo. I’ve lived in Kaduna, Benin, Lagos, Sutton Coldfield (near Birmingham), Aberystwyth (Wales) and now, London. I have attended 8 schools over nursery, primary and secondary.

- I have completed exactly 47 Sudoku puzzles in my life - I can eat more chocolate/chocolate covered/chocolate infused products than anybody I know - My biggest ambition is to learn how to surf, and then hopefully the rest of my life will fall into place, allowing me to live by the beach and surf everyday for the rest of my life!

Talk about racking up the frequent flier miles.
DAMN YOU VICKII!! WHAT DID WE SAY ABOUT LETTING ME KNOW WHEN YOU POST?
Wow - weirdly enough I was thinking of doing another about me post and seeing what the differences were between this one and that.
Loll @ your rubbish cheerleading. Would have been funny to see you. From cheerleader to masters in International Law. Go figure.
Carmen Electra is a fashion Icon _ GAG!
wow! I'm a girl & i'll say i'm impressed by you! you seem really really interesting & seem to have a full life already!...I envy you with all where you've lived..you've lived up my dream..I wish I'd travelled around as a kid...
There's definitely more to you than meets the eye. Karate? Hmmm.
how creative of u....least u do better than some of us. Once i find myself not being able to complete a post or even start one, i bail n abandon ship.
lol@ cheerleader. How cute and u say u are not a girly girl. I beg to differ.
you ARE a girly girl! and when did u go to cairo?
You have travelled!!! And the schools!
You might say you are a tomboy but you don't come across as one! And yeah, you must love dresses - the three times I saw you in Lagos... yes, DRESSES. They were all so lovely...
School girl costume? I hope you didn't drive the men crazy o! LOL!!!
Speaking of half marathons.... we'll talk.
Have a beautiful weekend!
Ure blogs are deep. As in, very revealing. It takes balls to do something like this (although knowing the exact number of Sudoku puzzles uve completed is a tad worrisome)
my type of babe!!babes like u are rare o lol. u r well exposed o.. karate hmnnn? wat takes me is the fact that u are well secured with urself!!! thats the key, having all those attributes u mentioned and ur dislike to being center of attraction is some trait to have.. u better start liking attention o cause you have alot to share as with ur blog, i must add u bring out positive vibes on everything...
You have two very concealed tattoos and yet you wrote your dissertation on pornography. Seems there are a few sides to you fighting for dominance. Hmmh, very intriguing.
interesting! very interesting! im inspired to do one post about me too.. ( after i plan my wedding o)
so u fight karate.. kai.. my popsy used to drop us in ikoyi club for karate lessons, but me i used to run away and ride donkey! lol!!
ms. vickii, lol..u r a contradiction of sorts..but a good one from what ive read. You wrote ur disseration on pornography and feminism???..WOW is all i can say. and tattoo's can be so addictive..i have just one...but ive been soo wanting to get another...just havent figured out what surface i want to put it on...plus a friend of mine once told me my future husband might object to it..lol.. Interesting write up...
I too was a tomboy and loved it!! Now I'm discovering my girly girly side and FINALLY wearing makeup, I'm pretty much 30, and finally wearing makeup. Crazy huh? It's a shame that the reason I stepped up my game is when I saw these 15-16yr old girls looking like grown women. Nails, lips, hips, weave or not, etc.. I'm like dang, I shouldn't be sweatin their style. I'm the one that should be a trendsetter. Better late then never!
Tomboys don't wear dresses. You describe yourself as a tomboy, but you love wearing dresses. There are more sides of you than one.
And WHY is Nicole Richie a fashion icon???????????????
Hey Vickii, you are definitely not most girls.
hey i dont think it a lazy post and its always nice 2 meet ppl who's family moves a lot ,u've bin 2 8 schools while i've bin 2 7 secondary school and when i tell ppl dey think i get expelled 4rm all dem skools
stop playing, you're such a girl. you do have tomboy pretensions, but you're so girly. but its cute though. karate? i'm sure you've threatened to wrestle one or two guys in your time. i hope you never actually tried it...
you sound so interesting...
I love this post..i would do something like that but i am too lazy...LOL....
@ noni: You should do another one of this posts but do you think you'll have changed that much since then. I think you'll probably have lots more to say.
Oh, and ignore the fact that it's carmen electra, and focus on the outfits, that woman hasn't put a fashion foot wrong in years!
@anon 1: Thanks you! bet your life is more interesting than you think it is, try writing down some stuff you've done and you'll see.
@ mari and uzo: you guys should do a post like this too ... it's pretty interesting and i'd be really interested to read it.
@ anon 2: Lol, I guess there are lots of sides to me. Can't believe you don't think nicole dresses well ... she's way too skinny but her clothes are hot!
@ Azuka: Yup, Karate ... oh and kickboxing lol. My mum always thought girls should be able to defend themselves.
@ onada: We always used to travel to Greece from Kano with Egyptair and we'd always stop over in Cairo. We had a day stop a few times and went on tours. And I'm not half as girly as you!
@ Buki: Lagos doesn't count, I was always out ... see me in the day, jeans and trainers. And yup, we'll talk about the half marathon. I'm thinking I'd love to do the NY marathon now but one step at a time!
@Dr Coded: Lol I have a sudoku book and it's numbered ... thanks for stopping by!
@ Secret crush: Thanks a lot for your compliments ... I'm blushing lol! I'd like to think I'm a pretty positive person!
@cyclone 5: I guess there I different sides to me, I didn't realise how much of a contradiction I seem to be till you guys pointed it out.
@bimbylads: lol at the running away to climb donkey ... you missed out on some seriously kickass moves! Hope the wedding planning is going well ... or at least going .
@ Zai: Thanks for dropping by hun. I'm with you on the tattoo thing, they are addictive. Pls, your future husband will love ALL of you!
@ Lady a: Lol, rock your inner lady! I've always wanted to be one of those girls that really makes an effort with their appearance and always looks amazing but I'm way too lazy! I'm full of admiration for them though.
@favoured girl: Lol, I like to think I'm not ;p
@ racquelle: Hmm, were you expelled from all those schools? Lol. I loved moving around, met so many amazing people ... did you like it?
