Tonight I watched The Ugly Truth with my sister and Brother #1. I thought it was a cute movie in my opinion but then again I have never seen a romantic comedy that I didn’t love. Even the male lead in the movie says you have to have a smokin’ hot body to attract a man, thus ending my dream of meeting a guy who thinks my lumpy self is perfect just as it is (which is fine, I guess, since I think ze body could be better too).

I received a comment on my other blog that made me laugh (eventually) at the backhandedness of the “compliment”, if you can call it that. A new reader said she was glad she decided to read my blog despite having heard bad stuff about it. She then commended me for admitting that I couldn’t cook something that is old hat for most Nigerians. I guess she was just being honest but couldn’t she have done that on this blog? At least this blog is whiny and moany and “woe is me”-y. That blog at least tries to be positive and encouraging. Hmmph!

Something I realized as a blogger and someone who enjoys confiding in friends is that I have few secrets that nobody knows about (at least in part). Whenever I decide to keep something to myself this time around, someone will ask a question that has me squealing and revealing all. The funny thing is that I’m reallly good at keeping other people’s secrets. A close friend of mine used to get so mad at me because I wouldn’t tell her a secret told to me by a mutual friend and that she had to wait until everyone else to find out. Just don’t trust me with my own secrets!
