By golly! I've been tagged

There I was, minding my own business when suddenly -"tag, your it!". Ugandan girl, smiling, said something about tagging me with the Honest Scrap Award.
I'm told “This award is bestowed upon a fellow blogger whose blog’s content or design is, in the giver’s opinion, brilliant.”
What can I say?, it's cool to be thought of as an Honest blogger but getting an award for it, is even cooler :-).

"Ahem!! Ladies and gentle men, I'm honored to receive this Honest Scrap award courtesy of Ugandan girl.
And now to bare my soul. It is scary, you know?!, kinda like a guy gathering his wits to tell a girl he likes her".
But anyway, honest things about me;

1. I love peace and quiet. When I'm writing an article, patching together scrap notes, thinking through ideas, I need maximum silence. That is when it brews, thoughts flow like a peaceful river or a thunderous storm (depending) on to the paper or computer.
   
2. I have the best family in the world. Talk about laughter, pranks, support, love, straight talk,squabbles - all mingled in there. My best moments were sitting in the kitchen, all 15 of us, listening and telling stories about boarding school.
   
3. I was a serial liar as a kid, my goodness! Like I had been spell bound, I couldn't tell the truth to save my life. Lies rolled off my tongue as naturally as a ball on a slope. Jesus came to my rescue, hallelujah!
   
4. I like to read a good book seasoned with humour that jumps out unexpectedly; The kite runner, anything Mark Twain, Catcher In The Rye like that.
   
5. I'm quiet, I prefer to listen than to speak, but please don't push it.
   
6. Tight! this one- I once had a crush on a colleague at work. I considered myself the worst sinner/wife/mother/woman on the globe. Then I found out that, it will happen, it's what do you with it that counts.
   
7. I hate bugs but roaches top the list.
   
8. I have always dreamed of singing background vocals with my favorite artists; Mercyme, Casting crowns, Jeremy Camp - watch this space, because, by the way ...
   
9. I'm spoiled for deep lyrics and a catchy tune, belted by an artist who makes it believable, as though they were living in the moment of that experience. - But what hurts the most, You'll think of me, I can only Imagine, Who am I, You are God alone
   
10. I did the long distance dating thing for 3 good years. It was back in the day when Internet and cellphones were only a rumour. We survived on snail mail for the most part - 4 weeks of waiting at the post office, aya! can't believe we made it. Walked down the aisle and I wouldn't have had it any other way.
    
11. Hot tempered people freak me out.
    
12. I tend to make rush decisions and end up kicking myself in the foot.
    
13. Ok, I didn't mention this but it's the ultimate - I love Jesus.
    

Now, once tagged one can not as if scamper off like nothing happened, so to set myself free I searched for some peeps who I suspect are honest. Here goes;Emi,3TOC,B2B's,Maya,Unspoken words,Atupa,Bruised reed
