Next to reading and sleeping, one of my favorite things to do is watch TV. And there are so many TV shows to watch! I have put up a few posts about shows you should watch, and I don't know why I haven't blogged about this show: Masters of Sex on Showtime. If you watch Masters of Sex and have not watched the most current season to the end, please escape this post now and read any of these other very interesting posts instead. If you don't watch it, or if you don't care that this is a spoiler Read More
Journal #12: December 2015
Happy New Year and welcome to January. I sound crazy welcoming you to January, considering that today is the 21st of January. Basically, we ended 2016 and I just completely forgot about writing a journal. This is my twelfth journal, meaning that I actually completed one whole year of journaling monthly. Woo Hoo.

When Nigerians Say They Can Never Live In Nigeria
So far in my life, I have lived in three countries and in three continents (or four continents, depending on where you believe Russia is located).

Every year, I usually put up a birthday wish list, although I do it more for entertainment than anything else. But I didn't even put one up this year. Am I growing up? Or getting old? Nope, I cannot get old. I don't know yet what I will be doing this year. I know for sure that I'm going to go visit my cousin, Toby, and take him a cake because we share the same Read More
Why Is This Nigerian Woman Promoting Lesbianism/Transgender Interests?
Nigerians want to know. I remember a long time ago, I told Igwe that I wanted to sew a traditional male outfit for myself, and he said, "Really?" He thought it was going to be a fun experiment, as did I. Classic Vera, I thought about it and then I never followed up with it because there are always one million other things going on in my head. But 2016 will be different! Anyway, I never forgot it either but the price of sewing traditional outfits here [America] is about $100 [about N26,000], not Read More
