Temperament: I am Melancholic

     My name is Melancholic. I'm a perfectionist and emotionally sensitive. I like my things being in a particular pattern and hate when it doesn't follow the pattern. I hold myself and others in extremely high standards and I hate when my standards are not met. I'm always willing to learn and understand, I'm keen on knowing every little detail about anything because for me, to be ignorant is to stray from perfection. I'm very inquisitive and I ask specific questions to gain more understanding which sometimes leads to over analytical worries. I am very stubborn because I try hard to stick to my own carefully considered views and standards of perfection and I'm not easily shifted from this path. I do not go with the flow.  
   I am very pessimistic, and assume the worst due to my sometimes unrealistic standards. I think and plan before taking any action and I never resort to rash behaviours if I can't plan properly. It's easier for me to hate and reject things rather than to love and accept them. My interests are picked carefully and I hold them closely rather than have a lot that'll change quickly and often. I complain a lot but not in a put-down or demanding way. I tend to argue a lot analytically because I can't let things be if they seem wrong although using logic and explanations. The arguments are usually about the issue not me. I respond poorly to compliments and blame myself for mistakes as I'm clearly aware of my imperfections. I like things being tidy though not necessarily neat. I crave time alone and I love my own company.
     I enjoy spending time with others but it drains my energy most times and I'd have to spend time alone to get it back. People who don't meet my standards and outlook make me uncomfortable. I'm not all about talking to anyone and everyone. Once I have someone to talk to in a quiet and relaxed atmosphere, I can talk a lot and enjoy sharing thoughts and ideas. It takes me time to consider people I'm familiar with friends but once it gets to that point, I'm likely to stick to the person. I prefer having a few close friends to many acquaintances. I can be seen as selfish though because I prefer to be alone with my own thoughts, have my own things, rather than sharing them with others. I'm very possessive about things I own and very reluctant to let others borrow or use them because I believe they won't give it as much care as I would as I care about everything deeply.
     I'm more intense rather than easy going. I'm very emotional, I'm moved deeply by beauty and distress. I'm slow to snap but I hold on to emotions for a very long time and also easily hurt. I can become very moody at times, I'm not aggressive and I love fleeing from things that make me uneasy. I'm more likely to make people feel guilty rather than insult them just to get back at them. I'm all of this because I am MELANCHOLIC.

Who Says There Are No Pervs In Church?

Dear OTTH readers, how are we? I spent my weekend resting and going through dorisaniunoh.blogspot.com, you know as a writer, one shouldn't depend on themselves, so every now and then, I go through other blogs because not only do I learn a lot from them, they also inspire me to write something. I love reading from Doris' blog because like me, she writes real life stuff, something I could actually relate to not how Davido got robbed and the likes. I've been meaning to write about this in a while but procrastination won't let me but today I have bound the spirit hence here it is. I'm certain we all know who a perv is but just incase we don't, perv is the shortform for the word "pervert" and it refers to someone who's sexually obsessed according to Google and that's about what it means so I guess we all get the picture and we'd understand better as we proceed. I've always thought pastors would at least act like pastors no matter the tempt...

Love With Blood?

Dear OTTH readers, I hope we're good because I'm very fine. You know me and the things that bother me, lol. The other day, I was discussing with Anuli (CEO, Iluna photography)  about how I think it's abnormal to have sexual relations with any member of ones family and she made a point by saying that it's a norm in some places #onemansmeat...you know the drill but that it doesn't make it right. I understand that people crush on their cousins and all and I also understand that my culture might be a taboo someplace else but haba! Why would you have sexual relations with your family member? I used to think it was always sexual abuse when things like that happen but I've found out that people actually do it with pride and talk about it without shame. I remember someone telling me how he makes out with his cousin and he loves her so much and I'm like gfhdsshgk? Over the years, I've heard and I still hear of different cases of incest and it was beginning t...

Mirabel's Dairy

My name is Mirabel Blakewood, I'm 20 years old. My parents died when I was 6 in a car accident on the 25th of July, 2001 and I've been living with Maternal Grandmother until she also passed away when I was 15. I still stay at my Grandmother's till date. I'm quite tall, I have brown eyes just like my Dad's. I remember it when he used to read me bedtime stories, I would stare deep into his eyes till I fell asleep. I keep a small circle of friends - Jeff, Sarah, Lionel and Amy. We've been friends since we were kids. They've been my family too. My Grandmother was a very quiet woman, she was a woman of noble mien. She had no friends and she barely spoke to anyone. She would say hello to few people after the service on Sunday then be back to her normal withdrawn self. There was something my Grandma passed on to me, it's called the Peth spirit. It was passed on to her by her mother when she was dying but my Mum didn't live long enough for it to b...
