Dear Diary,<\/p>\n

I have reached my limit with my computer oh. Anybody that knows that computer should better go and warn him or her or it, before I will vex and just wound it beyond recognition.<\/p>\n

Yesterday, I checked my mail (after much effort), and the thing said I had 32 new mails, and I thought, it had to be a mistake. I mean, I always get mails and all, but considering how many times I check it each day, I did not expect to be having that many mails at once. Anyways, turns out they were all regarding my new article “All Hail The Inter-Galactic Force Of Girlfriends”, and I was truly pleased. In fact, I think I was blushing.<\/p>\n

I was perplexed as to why so many guys were emailing me and asking to be introduced to my beautiful friends; some of the men were even specific, as they said “I want the first one…”, and I was thinking….what the hell? Is there a picture of me online that I have not seen? Lo and behold, the publisher of Nigeria World <\/a>put a picture of six black girls next to my article. The publisher also made a mistake and put my location as Canada, so I got a lot of Canadians asking me how the weather in B.C was. At first, I was thinking, ‘ah ah, does Baltimore have a new name?’, but mba, it was just a mistake on the publisher’s part.<\/p>\n

Anyways, today, I turned on my computer, and what did I see? It had become worse sef. Hmm, this computer is toying with my emotions. It\/he\/she obviously doesn’t know my true color oh! I am @ my aunt’s house right now, and God, her lap top is like a breath of fresh air. I remember just 2 months ago when I was making fun of my aunt’s windows 98 that just sat in the basement like a box. The thing no gree do anything oh. Common type sef, e no gree do. But anyways, I am now in the same predicament, but I put my hope in God to perform a miracle before I lose my Blessed mind.<\/p>\n

So how have you been? I see that your web counter has increased. I guess we got some admirers visiting us huh? Can you believe that I have been on this lap top since about 4pm? And guess what I’ve been doing? Yeap, replying mails! I got more mails today from my happy and satisfied readers. Nawa O. I pray God Blesses all of them with their heart desires, and Bless me too (with the lap top I have been fantasizing about). I mean, how can a writer not have a lap top? Tufia kwa!<\/p>\n

Anyways, I gotta go off now, and do my exam. Yes, I have a Lit exam that is due at 9pm tomorrow, and I have not even started. Oh well. God dey, jare!<\/p>\n

Regarding my article, some of the readers were wondering how come I did not talk of any friends I had before 2000; I guess I can understand where they are coming from sha. Oh well, you know where they are, don’t you? Let’s let sleeping dogs lie, right? Needless to say, I miss them too, and I have been thinking a lot about them, but that’s a different story. Some day, we will all get together again, don’t you think?<\/p>\n

Bye for now. Gotta check my other email addresses and also check Talk Naija. Man pikin don tire men.<\/p>\n
