Xiaxue (Part 2)

I almost wanted to start linking Xiaxue and publicly declare that I no longer hate her, or to put it in a more politically-correct way, "unable to appreciate her style of writing and any of her humour in her writings (if any, that is)", until I read Miao's entry on her "failure of appreciating XiaXue's works".

It's quite eerie to find that after reading Xiaxue's entries on her "evil twin", on refridgerators, on rich girls VS poor girls, on her everlasting obsession with Mandopop and on the translation of Jay Chou's 《发如雪》, which Miao has kindly pointed out that that was not her original work, you read a critique of all these entries in Miao's blog.

And no, my visit to Xiaxue's blog this time round was not intrigued by Miao's critique to find what exactly had Xiaxue written to incur Miao's displeasure.

It's only after I had read Xiaxue's entries did I begin on Miao's entries.

But I still decide to carry on with this post anyway. I know that being magnanimous and divine, Miao would forgive me. Right, Miao? (*gives her a good pinch on her left lap so that she would agree)

Not that I have now become a huge fan of Xiaxue, but at least I've decided to be more "appreciative" of her style of writing.

The main reason for my change of stand is because I see myself in Xiaxue herself and in her works.

Bitchiness, narcissism, occasional juvenile, and a strong desire to express the inner self, mixed together with a tinge of arrogance and holier-than-thou attitude.

And to top it off like coloured or chocolate rice on ice cream, a pinch of sarcasm.

I can't possibly hate myself, right?

P.S. Miao, before you start hating me, I hope it's some consolation for you to know that I do not like 7-flowers, and probably would not for the rest of my life. I hope that this fact would not let you lose hope in all men in this world. =)
