For all the tags on my cloud, the topics on self centered girl blogs can be generalized into four or five. 1. Childhood disruptions, 2. boy or man hating, 3. stories from the sisterhood, 4. look at me, I'm such a whore aka I got so wasted and did something idiotic, 5. this is my take on the trendy film/movie/book/bar/dress shop I've been consuming, yes I'm so awesome. Eventually, as my pen gets mightier, I hope to have another tag 6. Wish I was an unattractive, socially awkward, yet fairly intelligent boy who could sit around with my beer buddies and discuss self-centered girl blogs and feel good about myself because at least I can comprehend that I've been given a bad lot unlike these sorry sissies.
Maybe I shouldn't publish the above paragraph. But really, why not -everyone loves finding a piece of themselves on someone else's pages, like Balzac who refered to the slim, white hand of his frivolous, young female reader through the pages of his novels. Its like people want mirrors for pages between the covers. But no, they dont really want to see their faces, what they want is an opportuniy to mend their defects and win, they want redemption, a heroic ending, happy or tragic, anything but ordinary. Or a contrast, they want to see the negation of themselves, of who they are not and who they will never have to be, thank god for that. Everyone needs a reference narrative of some sort, prescriptive, descriptive of their lives before they live it, so hey you, whats your personal Bible these days? For me, The Devil Wears Prada is it, but don't let me influence you or anything.
Anyway, I dedicate this post to you for your RSS feed and for upping my sitemeter stats just a little bit. Here's to you, my pretties. Cheers.
