Dramatic Girls Should Just Kill Themselves
Why is it not okay for guys to cry? Girls can cry whenever they want, but guys can't? That's a warped sense of logic. Okay, so it's a little lame to be crying over every small thing. Like, for example, if "The coffeeshop only serves Pepsi because they ran out of Coke" or "The steak is slightly overdone" (quoted from the post). But crying because of a failed relationship? I think that's justifiable. In the post, Hedonistics Anonymous quotes a conversation she had with a friend, whom just had a failed relationship.
Yeah, real mature, by the way. I'm surprised the guy's still friends with her. I'm surprised she even has any friends at all. But then, there's plenty of people like that in the world, so it's not that surprising after all, I guess.Last night I had to send my friend home because his car was in the workshop. On the way back, he started rehashing details of his failed lovelife.
He: She said that if I ever come knocking on her door again, she'll let me in... because she knows that I'll be hers forever.
Me: Uh.. okay.
He: Can you believe it, I was so touched by her words. I actually cried when I got home.
Me: *starts rooting around in my handbag* Uh.. here, take this.
He: A TAMPON?!?!?!
Me: Yeah. You obviously need it more than I do, you stupid wuss.
Apparently, she thinks that girls have the right to be emotional while guys don't is because "guys don't have to deal with emo-inducing stuff like periods, pregancies, menopause etc". What, you mean, we girls only get emotional over things like that? We don't get emotional over love, loss, death, pain, etc.? Seriously, that's warped.
Okay, I get that she thinks some guys are overly-emotional for no reason at all. I agree they're pathetic. But just because some guys are emotional, that doesn't mean there's no justifiable reason. And the worse thing is, she thinks it's perfectly alright and not lame at all for girls to be emotional over every little thing, because... girls have to deal with things like periods, pregnancies, and menopause. Now, that's lame. It's girls like these who give the rest of us a bad name.
I can't believe BlogsMalaysia even approved this post. According to their News section,
You mean, not even 2 editors think the post isn't good enough to be approved? And they say whatever posts accepted is "a pretty good read"? Hmph! Also what's "things that might be get to a trend"? Do they mean "things that might get to be a trend"? I know, typos are common and should be forgiven... except that there are a total of 11 editors on BlogsMalaysia, and not one of them noticed! Laughable. Yeah, it sure isn't a strict system, if one at all.It's not a very strict system, the voting one that we go through. If a recommended article gets 3 positive votes, it's good to go. If two editors decide that it's not good enough, then the post gets suspended. Which explains WHY some of your posts never appear here.
This also means that whatever goes on the main page, is a pretty good read. It's good shit. That's the point of blogsmalaysia, really. The focus is on good content, good reads, interesting stuff and things that might be get to a trend.
Stupid BlogsMalaysia. I can't even quit the damn thing.
//edit// turns out i misunderstood Hedonistics Anonymous' post. that's why the Internet is so darn unreliable - you think you know the true story, but in fact, you don't. her friend's failed relationship happened 3 years ago, apparently, so it's not unreasonable to act the way she did.
this is why i don't like to post about other bloggers, in case of misunderstandings such as this. i thought i understood her post perfectly well, when i was just blinded by my anger at one sentence. after i read that particular sentence, i continued the rest of the entry with prejudice.
i hate it when i'm wrong. bleh. //edit//
