The following people have been brave enough to share aspects of their lives: (in the order I have read them) Margaret in Germany<\/a>, Xquizzyt1,<\/a> Brutha Coded<\/a>, Guess<\/a>, Ms K<\/a>, Mshairi,<\/a> Bubudiu(?) <\/a>and Nick<\/a>. <\/p>\n

I really enjoyed their lists. I have debated whether to do one. What will I say. What if I say nothing at all? What if I offend someone? Embrass someone? Bore someone? I won’t know if I don’t try and no matter what I shall make sure I have fun doing the list. So…
\n==============================<\/p>\n

1. Here I am doing 100 things about me
\n2.\tAnd I am
\n3.\tPetrified
\n4.\tPissing my pants
\n5.\tYou never know who is reading
\n6.\tEavesdropping
\n7.\tAnd I worry I may say too much
\n8.\tSod that
\n9.\tTime to begin
\n10.\tEach time I have started this
\n11.\tRandom memories enter my mind
\n12.\tTake my 11th birthday
\n13.\tOn my way to school
\n14.\tAccident victim
\n15.\tLaying on the road
\n16.\tLifeless
\n17.\tMy first thought?
\n18.\tYou did not just die on MY day?!?
\n19.\tFast forward, exactly 10 years on.
\n20.\tAnother accident victim
\n21.\tMy first thought?
\n22.\tI refer you to #18,
\n23.\tLikelihood of it happening on my 31st?
\n24.\tYou never know eh?
\n25.\tAt age 10
\n26.\tNearly got mauled by
\n27.\tDogs, 7 of them
\n28.\tFeared them ever since
\n29.\tRandom dogs that is
\n30.\tI like dogs that I have a bond with
\n31.\tExample? Our dogs in Kenya
\n32.\tNot a fan of balloons either
\n33.\tDon\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2t laugh
\n34.\tSounds weird, I know
\n35.\tI am terrified of,
\n36.\tNoise they make when popped
\n37.\tThey remind me of gun shots
\n38.\tHeard them during Saba Saba riots
\n39.\tEarly July 1990
\n40.\tBloody Nyayo police
\n41.\tLive bullets and all
\n42.\tOpened fire on us
\n43.\tGod was watching over me
\n44.\tSomeone behind me dropped dead
\n45.\tPushing on
\n46.\tHave loads of happy memories too
\n47.\tEldoret 1986-1990
\n48.\tResiding with cucu
\n49.\tEnjoyed all those years
\n50.\tMy family are great
\n51.\tAll of them
\n52.\tYes they get on my nerves
\n53.\tYes they annoy me
\n54.\tOf course we fight
\n55.\tUh but so do all families
\n56.\tAnd in spite of all this, I
\n57.\tLove each and every
\n58.\tLast one
\n59.\tBut this list is about ME
\n60.\tEnd of family stuff
\n61.\tBy the way
\n62.\tLook at the first letter of
\n63.\tEvery line
\n64.\tSpecial message contained
\n65.\tSo where was I?
\n66.\tEasier than I thought
\n67.\tDoing this list
\n68.\tThough I am still scared
\n69.\tOnly 30 to go
\n70.\tDid you know?
\n71.\tAm half-adopted
\n72.\tYes I was surprised too
\n73.\tAnd guess how\/where I found out?
\n74.\tNo guess.
\n75.\tDown in London
\n76.\tFront desk
\n77.\tOf the American Embassy
\n78.\tRemember mum saying
\n79.\t\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00c5\u201cEh there was something I forgot to tell you\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac?
\n80.\tVoice failed me
\n81.\tEyes watered
\n82.\tRage filled me
\n83.\tLady at the desk looked stunned
\n84.\tOh I was 17 at the time!
\n85.\tAm over that now
\n86.\tDiscovered recently
\n87.\tShould I really say it?
\n88.\tOh what the heck
\n89.\tFound out I have
\n90.\tLike a small crush
\n91.\tOn a blogger!
\n92.\tVery funny
\n93.\tEntertains me no end!
\n94.\tMich knows
\n95.\tAm nearly done
\n96.\tMore could have been said
\n97.\tAnd if feel like you need a bit more
\n98.\tJust go back to the top
\n99.\tAnd read it again
\n100. You should by now have worked out what the first letter of every line spells.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
