Random things about me (l)

I have work pending and some assignments due. Thing is, I'm not in the mood for serious stuff right now. Too much work without play makes Kangsy a dull nyako (lady in my mother tongue). Spending time here, doing this...is fun, that's why I'd prefer to call it play.
I came across some random questions on tumblr this morning. I wanna give 'em a try and see the outcome. Here we go: 

1. What is your name and does it mean anything?
Mercy is my name - Expression of compassion or forgiveness towards someone. I'm merciful btw..no lie!

16. What song are you currently listening to?
I'm i allowed to list my massive play-list?? Yes? No? Okay.
17. Have you ever broken a bone? If so, how?
I suffered a fractured right hand in grade three. My friends and i had gone to 'steal' guavas from a neighbours 'shamba'. Being a prowess in tree climbing, i got myself to the topmost branch in search of the big and ripe guavas. I picked and threw them down for my other comrades to gather them in a sack. Suddenly someone started shouting, 'Baba Jemo! Baba Jemo anakam!' (the owner). This was a signal to evict the garden with no looking back. I had no time to slowly climb down the tree, and being a 'super-woman', i thought jumping to the ground (from the top) would be quick. Apparently, that path had misfortunes! I fell hard on the ground and fractured my hand. Funny thing though is this; after falling i stood up as quick as i could and ran to safety with the rest because i hadn't realized that my hand was in bad shape. I realized this when the hand started moving weirdly on its own, frail from the damage and the pain that checked in. You don't wanna know what happened later! Reactions from an African mother....You don't want to hear this! (story for another day).

A place called KMTC. My dad was a Teacher in that College. Karen, Nairobi, (Kenya).

Yes i do! I'm still learning to accept the 'colicky' attitude of babies though. 
22. Would you like to meet any of your social networks friends in person?
Some. Not all.

22. What was the last dream you remember having?
I don't remember anything at the moment.
23. When is your birthday?

24. How many pillows do you sleep with?
I don't have a pillow. Yes. I don't.
