Meeting the Butterfly

I believe blogs are a superficial representation of a person, intentionally led, fed and digested. And it should be. I am who I say I am and you come to know me as how you've perceived from what little information I've devulged to you.

I'm Mylene. Socialite extraodinaire and soon to be soccer mum. I'm catwalk born yet not plastic enough for FHM cover worthy material. I'm a walking chatterbox tuned to the wrong frequency most of the time.

Last week was the first time I've actually spoken to Butterfly in person. I've seen him around lots, we just never really had a chance to speak. And from the 5mins of conversation with him, I gathered this..

He's almost as pretty as how I've read some other bloggers hyped about him. It's a pity I like my men tall.

I expected him to be alot more arrogant, crude and drunk. He was witty as I'd expected but perhaps I was expecting something more unpolished.

He paid me a compliment by saying I wasn't as dumb as I made myself out to be. That is a compliment, yes?

I always liked his Butterfly persona before he revealed his identity which killed off alot of mystery to his character, but I suppose the real person didn't disappoint either. The guy does have the goods to deliver and I will quote and agree with him on what he replied to a compliment I paid him,

"Anoymity doesn't always turn out as good as this"

I understand why alot of people blog anonymously like me so that we are spared the backlashes of society. For girls, we do it because of the consequences we face. I won't reveal my identity because I love mystery and it keeps a transient image of me. Well, okay, maybe because I'm not entirely confident of my looks.

The guy amazes me for one. He blogs so superficially about everything, bitches better than a girl, glorifies his lifestyle as an asshole and he still keeps me glued to it. What is it with us girls? Are we always doomed to be attracted to assholes?

Butterfly, i'm not saying you ARE an asshole, cos it would'nt be fair now would it? But I believe we all wear a mask to protect something. I think you do too...

This is quite an ego trip for you now I suppose, one whole entry for you. I think you really have to reward me for this. LOL.
