omg.
can you just SEE how ppl PLAGIARISE my writing?! i don’t know whether to be pleased or what!
Someone wrote this as their friendster profile.
I was reading it thinking to myself ‘hrm.. sounds like how i write… weird’
than.
THAN!
at the last paragrah, he wrote this!!! IT:S JUST LIKE MINE
MINE I SAY
MINEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Below is for comparison’s sake (i only put in the last two paragraphs of each profile):
Joyce’s
I don’t fancy drugs. i don’t fancy smoking. I have an uncountable number of friends who do both but it’s okay cos I prollie drink more than they do. i give away money when i’m drunk. i can’t speak chinese. i like eating alot. i love eating… don’t get me started. i try not to be shallow. i like the smell of peach, paint and petrol. i have a terribly vivid imagination. i would like to think myself artistic. I’m always looking at the sky to check how beautiful it is for the day. i would like to blow chocolate bubbles. i listen to cartoon songs. i want to sky dive. i think my dad is the bomb. i adore fashion. nobody seems to want to teman me watch old/foreign movies. i like silk pajamas. dancing is a must.
If I had to describe myself in three words it would be wild, expressive and ambitious. If my friends were to describe me in three words it would be forehead, alcoholic and psycho. I don’t want to grow up. I don’t want to have to worry bout money all the time. I want to write a book. I want to be a fashion designer. I want to be 7-years-old again
Plagiariser’s
I smoke Dunhill. Full flavored. I usually go through a pack a day, sometimes more. I have cut my daily intake to about ten sticks. I need my morning cigarette, or I’ll bite. I don’t do drugs, except the occasional joint. I seem to be drinking a lot lately. Chivas, JW Black Label, Long Island Tea, Carlsberg and Tiger. I still have control even when I’m drunk. I think people who say that they didn’t know what they were doing because they were drunk are bullshit. I love reading. I love music. I love vanilla. White chocolate is the bomb. I love food. Chinese, Indian, Western, Italian. I don’t eat breakfast and lunch. I have dinner and supper instead.
If I had to describe myself in three words it would be loyal, trustworthy and real. If my friends were to describe me in three words it would be quiet, special and lost. I don’t want to work a 9 to 5 job. I want to earn enough to carry a money clip. I would love to see how everyone turns out 10 years from now. I wish I could spend more time with ALL my friends. I wish I could be care-free.
……
*speechless*
I feel disturbed that someone is taking *my* way of expression to portray themselves cool and unique.
Like me.
JoyCe~ 🙂 HewWo! it is you. I was wondering if i got the right person (from Kwang’s blog) until i scrolled down to your pic. 🙂 How are you girl? 🙂
I’ve been plagiarised before too >_< from my blog! This other guy took what I wrote about harry potter and basically claimed it as his own. he later admitted that it was a rip off from me tho.

Haha Joyce!
That person sounds so lame in comparison to you so don’t bother!
yea i’ve been plagiarised before from my icq!a fockerbitchass stole my poem off my ‘userdetailz’ colum and posted it as hers and had the shietzgutz to claim it as her own, signing off my poem with her bloody name???! focker! gahhhhhh
not only that. the bloody stalker stole my icq nick and used the exact fontz and signs too!..how uittter wierd is thatttttttt! sum ppl needz ta get a life……….!
hummz.altho.. i must say the ‘plagiariser’s descript doens’t sound much like yours… and the ‘describe yourself in 3 words’ style is pretty common.. ;]
hmm. he sounds as though he were mocking your literary style more than plagiarising it. it’s not usual for people to simply plagiarise like that without any intent. and his is a parody of yours~
i would not be pleased at all.
but hey! i never copied that ‘3 words’ thing from anywhere! *indignant* anyway. i actually know this person. so i shall just erm let it go. and take it as a form of flattery.
maybe you should take it this way. the person copied your style of writing for a reason, maybe he/she thinks that it was a good kick-ass style. so you should be glad. dont let it make you feel down ^_^
immitation is the greatest form of flattery. simple.
I thought the ‘than’ is suppose to be THEN right? hehhe
Chill, man. We all started writing sentences that way. Some never grew out of it. =)
It’s a friendly gesture. Don’t take it the other way. =)
omg. i think you all are over-reacting now! i’m FINE about it *makes straight face* nana, i’m not down! crazypoogle, i aM chill… i have my malibu to make me chill… 🙂
Isn’t Malibu somewhere in Cali? But you did not capitalize your ‘m’
HAhahahaha……
NoOoOoo!! crazypoogle: Malibu is one of the greATEST forms of alcohol EVER made on earth!!!
oi woman…grow up la. almost everything that was meant be written already has. everything you, I, or anyone for that matter write is based on our experience and influences. there is no such thing as a “self-knowing” person. so the next time you feel the urge to accuse someone of plagiarism, reflect. great blog by the way.
Pardon my ignorance. Alcohol was never really my thing.
“Some never grew out of it.” It was intended sarcasm. 😉
