Recently
found a series called Friends With Better Lives and there is a character called
Kate. She is cold, relentless, determined, successful and single basically
everything I want to be when I grow up. She is the definition of rational and I
take time off from time to time just to think about her. I only have 9 episodes
but I have watched them all about 5 times give or take.
There
is an episode where Lowell’s friend from back in the day visits NY. Craig
happens to be very H.O.T and while the group is trying to figure out who they
can set him up with; Kate does not feature on their lists. She compiled a list
of why she is setup-able and it got me thinking, would people in my life set me
up with that new billionaire neighbor, smashing workmate or someone along those
lines? You catch my drift, yes?
I
decided to work on list of why I am setup-able so that may be next time someone
will send that good looking fella my way.
1. I am a fun
person: 4 in 5 people will agree that I am plenty fun and in this Kampala and
how we people live for the party, this is a HUGE win. Please don’t burst my
bubble if I am not.
2. I can hold a
decent conversation: This might not seem like a lot but as an ardent watcher of
the BeMyDate show on NTV Uganda, I am glad that I have this under my belt. Also
I do know the spelling of Tumblr so it is safe to say written conversations are
also covered here.
3. I know
people who know people: Alright, I cannot begin to name drop right now but be
rest assured that I will at least have someone to get in touch with when
information *The real kind not gossip* is needed and since knowledge is Power
this is a Win.
4. I know how
to have a good laugh: This might seem pretty mundane but believe me; I have
been in situations where I could have used someone who could have a good laugh
because it is never that serious. P.S: It always is but fake it till you make
it, Right?
5. I read:
There are quite a number of articles talking about why one should date a girl
who reads. You’re already hitched or not interested or whatever but how about
you give your buddy a chance?
6. I am 23
years old: The thing about being surrounded by people who are older than you
are is that you end up forever trying to act older than you actually are
because your nightmare is people saying that they understand why you did what
you did because of your age. I cringe at the thought. That’s as little pressure
as anyone will ever have. No one likes pressure even though most people work
better under pressure so I guess I could use the pressure that comes with being
set up. Wait, am I asking for pressure? Eissssssssssh,
now I am confused.
Bottom
line, the next time your good looking friend is around holla at your girl. Somebody PLEASE get me a Wizkid ticket. Thank
you!
