How much do you know, really?Thanks to all who emailed me asking for updates, it's nice to be missed :) Was in TNP on Sat and i totally forgot about it. Think it was something about American and singaporean bloggers. Aloy was nice enough to send me a picture of the article. You can see it in my flickr. :]
It's been almost two weeks since i last blogged. I've not stopped reading though, i blog hop for a couple of mins before turning in every night; it soothes me in a very strange way to read about other people, especially those whose lives are not remotely connected to mine.
Last night i came across a blog which was disturbing, to say the least. There was this one girl who wrote about what a bitch i was, stealing her boyfriend by replying to an email that he sent me. Confused, i went through my inbox. I don't reply alot of mails, it's just become boring to see the same old hi-you-look-nice-can-i-add-you-to-my-msn shite. Found his mail dated 2 months back, and yes, there was indeed a brief exchange. He emailed me about one of my posts saying that he relates to how i feel sometimes, and i replied with similar encouraging words. That was about it.
Now i know blogs can be very destructive, and sometimes bloggers do not know nor understand the power they hold. I cannot help but roll my eyes at people who insist that they're only "blogging for themselves" These are the same people who say things like "I blog what i want. If don't like can don't read what." For goodness sake, you're never truly only blogging for yourself when you're well aware of the fact that your blog is free for the whole world to read. But more on that some other time.
I couldn't sleep that night. Gave up trying at 4am and sat in bed playing with the aircon remote. On. Off. On. Off. I was not trying to steal her boyfriend. Swing. Stop. Why did she say that? Swing. Stop. ARGH.
I know, i know. The question is, why do i let it affect me so? Am i ever gonna see her in real life? probably not. Am i ever gonna see her bf? I hope not. But the thing that really irks me is that she doesn't know me, and just by having replied her bf's email, i can do no right. In her post she went on and on about how an attention seeking bitch i am and how i try so hard to seem perfect. That's all i am to her, and it doesn't matter how i feel if i were to read that post. I don't know why, but i continued browsing through her blog. She's in her mid twenties, enjoys movies and mahjong, and has an awfully cute hamster whom she adores. And i wondered, how much does she know about me really, before labelling me as a boyfriend stealer?
I love eating eggs, but only the whites. Egg yolks make me nauseous. I've never dated an attached/married guy, and wouldn't touch one with a ten-foot pole. My chinese name is xiuwen, and all my close friends call me wen. I've only seriously dated 1 guy in the past year, and i share a love-hate relationship with my pet puppy, georgie. There, bet you didn't know that.
And to the girl: As far as blogging for yourself goes, you can only find a balance between your audience and your heart. And i know i might get flak for saying this, but what the heck.
Your bf?
Give me i also dowan.
I'll rather take the hamster anyday. :)
Something to say? =)
