Oh wow. Golly me. Doesn't the picture just feel a teeeeny bit familiar to you? If it doesn't, you're one hell of a lucky soul. Well, I've just finished clearing up some of my old papers and filed them away and I found something that just jerked me back to several memories ago. And it all falls down. It's so ironic isn't it, the situation? Hating someone, yet pretending you'd go to the end of the world with them. Or smiling so sweetly, when in fact you've just bitched about them. Makes me wonder if this happens a lot in Guyworld. From my sources (and they're pretty good ones to boot!), the act of backstabbing doesn't occur very often in Guyworld. They either throw Flucks around or the fists fly. Then they get over it. Read:get over it. Another thing that doesn't happen in Girlworld too often. Anyways, let's look at the art of backstabbing, shall we?

Backstabbing (two-faced, whatever you call it) is defined by my soul companion and friend, Mac Dictionary, to be the action or practice of criticizing someone in a treacherous manner while feigning friendship. Could there possibly be examples of backstabbers that we could refer too? Well you could, of course, look at your own group of friends. But then, that wouldn't be so fun, to actually have to face the facts. Well never fear, Hollywood's near! One perfect example of a backstabbing bitch person is REGINA GEORGE, from Mean Girls. She's all kinds of bitch rolled into one body of perfection (of Rachel McAdams - whom I really love), its kinda funny and scary at the same time. So how can you tell if your friend is a Regina? A 1001 ways. When you realize he/she (hey, you never know, we can't be gender-bent - i guess in the name of gender equality, a guy can be a bitch too.) talks to you with a huge smile, pretends to relate to you on every level, acts like he/she knows you. Normal maybe, but not normal when you hear from the rest of the world he/she's bitching about you. Or angry at you, but somehow everyone else knows it but you - and of course you're not dense, its just that he/she acts like BFFAE around you. Oh well. Of course, it varies, but the general gist is the same. Like maybe he/she pretends to mourn with you when you just broke up with your gf/bf, but next week you see him/her snogging said gf/bf. HAHA.

It feels so much like a typical teen flick plot. Oh well, as jon&kateplus8 says best "it might be a crazy life, but it's our life." Tru dat, tru dat. Really. It's appalling how we human beings behave - even animals seem kinder than us sometimes. Oh well. Still, don't be too quick to go round judging others or your friends. Look into the mirror. Actions speak louder than words - even if you're not behaving totally this way, maybe not 100% backstabber, but reeking with its scent on you, then change. Before you turn into Regina George. Sure, I'm not 100% free of it, but I try my best to be a proper human being and be honest with the person I might be displeased with. After all, if I dare even call that person a friend, I should trust them enough to be able to understand what I'm feeling and be rational about it. Sigh. Rationality... not a common trait in Girlworld.

Just a bunch of thoughts. Enjoy
