I never thought I would get myself involved in my own little blogdrama. I mean-what's the point? You "yell" at someone through comments and the person "yells" back at you and before you know it it's already turned into a blog war. At first it was just for some time. But not feeling enough of the heat, you renew the whole series into another "season". At some point when you've had enough of it, you switch the "channel". And guess what? The drama's still there.

Seriously, at first I thought it was stupid. I mean if you don't like someone you simply avoid them. Don't open or even read anything they write. If you strongly disagree with someone and you write them a comment and when somebody starts calling names you just have to leave, because clearly it's either a bigot or a mentally disordered person you're dealing with (or are they the same thing).

But because I'm a human being and human beings can be real stupid sometimes, guess where I end up? In my own little drama series!

The heat happened just a while ago but the whole thing actually started since last month. See, there is this person(I'll call her Z) I've known for two years. She's a friend of mine and we are actually blood-related (fourteenth cousin or something-whatever). But you know we get on well and we still keep in touch with each other (I'm in Bandung and she is in Makassar-my hometown).

So, at first I started a blog at blogster and she made one too. I was glad she did. And then I made another blog at tumblr.com (mostly I write in Indonesian, and my friends blog there too). And not long after that Z told me she's made a tumblr also. I thought, well okay. I didn't care since I never really checked her blog. I also have a blog at friendster. She made one there too. Still didn't care.

And when I moved to mybloggers and left blogster, she did EXACTLY THE SAME THING. I stopped blogging at all my previous blogs to focus on here, and she suddenly stopped writing anywhere but here.

To make this clear, here's the chronological list of what happened:

1A. I made a blogster account.
1B. Z made a blogster account.

2A. I made a tumblr account.
2B. Z made one too.

3A. I made a friendster blog.
3B. She also made one.

4A. I got greased.
4B. She got herself greased too.

5A. I stopped blogging at blogster, tumblr, and friendster (gradually).
5B. Ditto Z.


I don’t know, maybe to some of you, it’s not a big deal. I mean, really, people can blog anywhere they want, and believe me, I KEPT TELLING MYSELF THAT. But really? Making exactly the same moves I made for 5 (F-I-V-E) different blog sites IS a big deal TO ME, whoever it is.

And I should have ignored her. You know maybe she’s just a real big fan huh [LOL]. But this is when stupid comes. I told her. I sent her a message asking her what on earth is her problem.

And wow, clearly I didn’t know who I was messin with. So she wrote a post telling everybody she’s leaving, saying goodbye, “I really love everyone here but my cousin kicked me out”-seriously?

Everything she wrote there really made me seem like a true a-hole, like I’m the villain and I just kicked out an innocent human being and drag her into eternal life of misery. There are a couple of greasers there commented on her post and getting the impression that I will torture her or something if she keeps on blogging here (And I wouldn’t blame him-coz I got exactly the same feel when I read her post). And really I didn’t know what else she was talking about on her post-a perfect drama script maybe if not a bunch of BS.

I know the drama happens because I couldn’t control myself in the first place. I should have done exactly the same thing before-IGNORE her. I’m pretty good at ignoring you know. I ignore my alien mother. I ignore my astronomy textbook. I ignore my homework. I mean if Dora is the Explorer then I am Rara the Ignorer.

Oh-where was I? Yeah, my fault partly. But really you can’t totally blame me for being annoyed. For being really really really annoyed. So am I the villain here? Decide for yourself. I have offered you my part of the story.

ANNOUNCEMENT:
THE “RARA THE IGNORER” SHOW IS CANCELLED BECAUSE SWIPER IS NOW ON “DORA THE EXPLORER”
