XhosaNostra:
LMFAO. I get you.

No, I don't have an Afrikaans or English surname, but we don't need a forensic team to know there's more to it. We're pretty diverse in my family.

When I was much younger, I used to be teased a lot. Apparently, I looked more like a "Bushman" On my father's side of the family, they do belong to the clans with Bushmen blood though, but I learnt about that a couple of years ago. So I guess they were right all along

Do you know your family history?

Below is younger "Bushman-looking" me

XhosaNostra:
Do you know what each colour on our flag symbolizes?

Personally, I think it's simple mindedness to focus just on the "looks", when you don't even know what story it is telling or trying to tell. Perhaps we'd appreciate these things more if we went deeper than the aesthetics.

I wouldn't change anything about the South African flag. It represents exactly who we are, THE RAINBOW NATION. Not only are we diverse in terms of racial makeup as a country, but some of us are the product of a colourful past. That is why in the Xhosa culture you'll find people with English & Afrikaans surnames.

But dull means dull! Don't run away.
Anyway, [b]most of African flags don't impress me.[/b]Yes others are far worse.I think Botswana and DRC have the best flags.Tz not bad but they could arrange the colors horizontally. Kenya should take out those primitive weapons.Ghana should remove that black star( there is no black star in the universe) SA flag has too many colors.

XhosaNostra:
LMFAO, no wonder they always have legs like flamingos or the bluecrane

Tsonga dancing is cool to watch though.

XhosaNostra:
I listen to all kinds of music lol. I don't have a favourite. Even reggae & Mbhaqanga sef I play am

XhosaNostra:
1st time I'm hearing about them today. I'm not a huge fan of rock music that's why.

XhosaNostra:
No, not really. Never heard of them before.

XhosaNostra:
Well Jace, the thing with jealousy is, it's not an enjoyable feeling. It may be ego-boosting for a guy, but for me, it signals the end of the relationship because I don't like it. It's sickening. I actually get physically sick lol.

No, I don't fight other women, but I will fight with the person I'm dating, sometimes for hours It makes me so angry.

XhosaNostra:
LMFAO. Understood. How long is the "hit list"?
OK, worst experience?
Did you feel like only with her or that's your thing in general? I find that odd too, btw.

Watching someone brush their teeth is not something I usually have hots for lol. It was just him. Everything he did would have me gasping & panting

XhosaNostra:
What do you feel about a jealous partner?

Yeah, I'm extremely jealous, but I don't like a jealous man. It's annoying. But me, I'll be jumping all over the place in fits of jealousy

XhosaNostra:
Wow, "they" must be very trusting. What's your thought on jealousy? Are you the jealous type?

Gotcha on the rest.

XhosaNostra:
LMFAO. It's that good?
Any memorable experience(s)?

Don't believe I've ever been really wowwed lol. For me it's all the same, nothing to write home about
However, there was someone I was insanely attracted to. I still don't know what it was about him that got me so revved up. It seemed unnatural. Guy would be doing random things, like brushing his teeth & it'd be the hottest thing I've ever seen in my life Ever experienced something like that?

XhosaNostra:
So you don't get asked why you spend so much time on the phone?

I still go to astrology forums because that's my lifelong passion. I don't go as much anymore though.

What about you?

XhosaNostra:
It's juicy

XhosaNostra:
Does anyone else in your life know about this place?
I keep it a secret. Not sure why though.

XhosaNostra:
LMFAO. Yho! So you want to make me your roll-on?
You know what they say about the forbidden fruit

XhosaNostra:
Butchy is taken lol. I even know his lady. I'd never cross the line. We're simply good friends

We should all meet in the near future

XhosaNostra:
LMFAO. Mnxm.

Your cherie won't be happy about that

XhosaNostra:
Lol, what can I say? Butchy sounds like a man & Lioness sounds like a woman They have ordinary voices.

Sure, let's try it some time. But let's both warm up to the idea 1st lol. It's a huge step. Like 2nd base.

XhosaNostra:
Lol, what would make it awkward?

I'm exactly the same way. I like to fall back & just listen to people talk. It takes a moment of silence to get talking.

XhosaNostra:
LMAO. So we're not good enough for you?

Yeah, with Butchy obviously. We're friends on FB & even talk on the phone every now & then. I've also spoken to Lioness on the phone a few times.

XhosaNostra:
Lol @ village boys & girls.

I'm not sure if that one is still around or not. What a migraine he was lol.

Have you taken NL friendships outside NL?

XhosaNostra:
Lol @ the "nasty ass" part. I just noticed it now, after rereading your post. Hope we can all meet some day. You'll be surprised at how shy & reserved I actually am in person

XhosaNostra:
Sharrap abeg

Wow, our paths leading up to here are very similar. I was also googling something & then I came across a thread insulting South Africans by All4Naija. I joined immediately. I deactivated a number of times since then though. What kept me coming back is, I met some really nice people here e.g. Butchy aka Jaqenhghar. He's one of my oldest Nairaland friends

XhosaNostra:
LMFAO. Your head dey dia

Btw tell me something, how did you join NL?

XhosaNostra:
Craze dey worry you wena

XhosaNostra:
Why would I do that for? You're a man, you can show all the bellybutton you want

Jaqenhghar:
Hmm kay
