This has started badly - I lost an entire post before I even managed to post it!!
Anyway, I was saying - I have inardvertently joined the 27% of internet users that have a blog - all because I had to find somewhere to vent about the Ghanaians that have been hounding me lately - ok, I have only met two BUT - they are rather persistent and irritating little fellas!! Hounding me with calls - they got my number from me by loudly and publically pestering me till I gave it to them to get rid of them!! I think I should print fake cards and give them out to these types - hey, why did I never think of THAT??!!?
The one that I met today started off with that all time killer line:
"You look soooo familiar - do I know you from somewhere?" - Honestly!!
Turns out he's called Barry - does any one know an actual living person called Barry?? Is it short for anything or is it a whole name?? Anyway, his parting shot was to ask me to continue with the gorgeousness - I am ashamed that I felt obliged to make a retort to that and but ended up only managing a weak "God is the one.. Only God - (what?)" - imagine that!!
I met the second one in a shop on Saturday, he lives in Antwerp (1hr from here by train) and was visiting for a day - he started off by asking me if I lived alone - ?? - so I told him no, I shared an appartment with an Ethiopian girl, and that all my foreign classmates lived on the same floor in case he got any ideas - truly I don't even know why I feel I have to make up ANYthing - I should have just brushed him off - but alas, I have never acquired the knack for that.. Anyway, his reply was that that wasn't a problem, HE lived alone and so could I take some of my own money, and go visit him in Antwerp?? Tsk, tsk..
Is it any wonder that I was driven to creating a blog??

Connie dear, i know how IRRITATING it can be to be running away from someone u're not interested in! I feel sorry for you, and I really do wish we could both be good at driving them away!!!
