21 Things about me that annoy other people


  1. I am an emotional retard (not my fault) and I speak in circles (annoying as f***).
     
    2.       I bottle my emotions, I’ve actually opened up as I’ve grown older.

    3.       I am afraid of people that I’ve just met or don’t know, I only talk when spoken to when I am around them.

    4.       Because of no. 3, people think I am anti-social. I am very strict with kids, even my nieces and nephews know that once the line is drawn, it will not be moved.

    5.       I am anti-social, but it’s because my life is shit right now and being around people makes it worse.

    6.       I am very difficult to love, as a person. Which makes me a very frustrating person.

    7.       I have two mobile phones, which I don’t carry on me. Much to the annoyance of people trying to get a hold of me, especially those who always need favours to be done for them.

    8.       I find being alone comforting and therapeutic, which is probably why I don’t carry my phones.

    9.       When in distress I cut myself off from everyone, I get angry when I am stressed and people follow when I try to get away. Which is probably why I’ve started leaving my phones on my bed.

    10.   The world does not exist when I have earphones in, much to the annoyance of people trying to talk to me, clearly ignoring the earphones.

    11.   I love my gadgets, thus why I hate sharing them.

    12.   Most of my gadgets are broken by other people, hence why no. 10 is on the list.

    13.   I am very bad at keeping in touch with friends and people in general, but I am great at creating stimulating conversation (that helps right?).

    14.   I block everything out when I am stressed, total mental lock down. Which is probably why I suck at keeping in touch and probably why I am still single.

    15.   I am emotionally neutral most of the time, neither happy nor sad. Which I have been told makes it impossible for people to decipher my mood.

    16.   I don’t tell people my problems, which is very bad. Actually it’s very dangerous, but people tell your problems to other people. People can’t be trusted, unless you are paying them to listen to your problems and they’re bound by a confidentiality agreement.

    17.   I am paranoid, but I hide this very well. I don’t trust people until they prove themselves trustworthy. Most people view this as being anti-social.

    18.   I am stupid. I could be one disappointment away from jumping off a bridge, look you straight in the eye and convince you I am fine (when I am not). Which is why most people believe that I either have a few screws loose or have none to begin with.

    19.   Number 18 landed me on a couch talking to an old guy who wears veldskoens (field shoes). Which is not really annoying to anyone, but I was running out of annoying facts about me.

    20.   I am absent minded and can’t multi task. I compensate by doing things in an ordered sequence, but I can’t jump the sequence without affecting the end result. This annoys the shit out of people. One of my aunts (who was visiting) once called me away from stressful homework and sent me to get sugar and I came back with salt. She called me dumb (We don’t talk no more). My mom once sent me to the neighbours but I reached the end of the street before I remembered that she sent me to get an axe from next door. Yes, I was doing homework before she sent me. I can focus so much on what I am watching on TV that you’d have to yell before I hear you.

    21.   I love order. My wardrobe and personal space reflects it. My socks are all folded, even when I throw my books on the floor, I throw them onto two piles. One for those I’ve read and the other for those I still need to read. You see, even my disorder is ordered. I even fold plastic shopping bags and store them away.

    22.   I am very sarcastic, half of which sounds like insults disguised by vocabulary (Which is what sarcasm is, coincidence?). My cousin says that I am a douche because of my sarcasm. I think he needs to lighten up and stop giving me free material.

    23.   This list is over by two. But it’s because I wanted to say that I know about all the things on the list, I spend most of my time by myself because I’d rather not annoy people. Remove the problem and the problem is solved (Thanks for reading till the end, hope it makes life around me less annoying).

10.5 in a straight line – The Namib Naukluft Mountains.

A mountain is nature's way of saying take the long way round (Scenic route) May 2012 (The following actually happened, I kid you not) My head was stuck so deep in the map that I was closely analyzing that I hardly noticed when the car stopped, I kept staring at it as though a road to our destination would magically appear. “Why have we stopped, we’re not even a quarter of the way there?” I asked myself. No roads existed to where we wanted to go, just a frighteningly deep valley beyond the rocky hill where we stopped. As I got out of the car all I could see was grass, huge hills and the shadow of three big mountains on the horizon. I glanced at the GPS as I was lacing up my boots while Patrisia grabbed our back packs, what I saw hardly pleased me. “Agreed,” she said as she went left with her technician, and I went right with mine. We agreed to meet at the exact spot where the car was parked at the end of the day.  “10.5 km’s to target,” my technician said with unres

Trends of deadly passion

I am sure most of you have heard of the phrase ‘a crime of passion’. The reservoir of modern wisdom that is Wikipedia, defines it as “ a violent crime, especially murder, in which the perpetrator commits the act against someone because of sudden strong impulse such as sudden rage rather than as a premeditated crime.” Wikipedia also states that the act, as is suggested by the name ( crime passionnel - from French language) is often associated with the history of France. However, such crimes have existed and continue to exist in most cultures. Namibia has seen a rise in the murder of young women, usually by their partner in an intimate relationship. Yes, boyfriends who kill their girlfriends. Usually siting a sudden rage brought on by a quarrel or spat which drives them to commit murder. I’ve been in relationships, and girls are weird. So I can understand how frustrated a guy can get, women are frustrating at times it’s like they are from a different planet. They can drive

Namibian education system language policy - 5 things that could go wrong

A month or two ago, or even three; time feels like it’s moving slower these days. The Namibian Education Minister announced a radical change in language policy, English would no longer be the medium of instruction in the lower primary phase. This means that from grade 1 – 5 children in the Namibian Education system will be taught in their mother tongue. I know what you are thinking, you’re probably going, “Why not? Children should be taught in their local languages.” Which is not necessarily a bad thing, research has shown that mother tongue education improves language acquisition and learning in general. However, no research has ever been done in Namibia to prove this. As it stands, there is no empirical evidence to prove that mother tongue education will work in Namibia. We seem to be copying South Africa who have a similar policy in place, South Africa has also lowered pass requirements from high school to improve results (not pointing fingers, I’m just saying). You’re prob
