The time is now!
Hi my name is Ayo Thompson and I am a blogger!
I have been off and on since 2008 but I think I have been a bit more consistent in the past year or two. I hope that improves even more!
I have met such AMAZING people here - some whom I now count as friends. I loveddd my privacy and being able to say as much as I could (not like I did anyway! lol) without thinking "hmmm"..
However, today, and as part of the goals for 2014 - 'Building Relationships' for this blog, I am coming OUT! :-D - What better way to be better accesible and hopefully build better relationships with blogsville than becoming un-anonymous ey? lol... I'm so nervous mehnn!!
I love Man U and the no 7!
I have a SWEET tooth (many actually lol)
... Buy me food and I can literally fall in love with you!
I believe that everyone should let out their inner child frequently!
This picture was probably taken the same year I started the blog! :-)That's all folks! Now you can ask me any question you want! lol
PS Waiting and Loving IT series continues tomorrow xx
Follow me on twitter too @1plustheone or email oneplustheone@gmail.com
*screaming* Ahhhh! Na your face be dis? Fine gal, no pimples! Lol!
ReplyDeleteMen, what a surprise! I did not see this one coming o! Ayo Thompson, nice to meet you. You have inspired some of us to come out too :-) Here's to more awesome posts from you and taking your blog to a whole new level.
Congratulations? Welcome? Well done? All of the above.
*screaming continues*
P.S. I think the first picture should be your official profile picture.
