You Write Like A Girl!
The other day, I was bloghopping as usual. I have to admit I like following the 'famous' bloggers like Kenny Sia and his female counterpart down south, Xia Xue.
Anyway, it was in this sequence of bloghopping yesterday, that the horrible inner voice whispered, 'Jonzz, you write like a girl'.
Of course, this thought could easily have sprung from an earlier conversation I had with another blogger. She said, 'The first few times, I read your blog, I couldn't decide if you were a guy or a girl because it was so ... deep'. Aiks!!!!
Then out of curiosity (and also some worry), we decided to MSN another blogger who did not know me personally. Her response was 'What?! Jonzz is not a guy?'
Phew... breath... *Sigh of relief*
LOL, but it doesn't stop me wondering. Is there a 'guy' or macho way of blogging, and vice versa? When guys blog about personal stuff and use cute expressions, does it create the impression that the author is feminine? Are there ways of structuring your sentences and ideas that actuallyreveal creates an image of what your gender is?
Hmm.. I wonder. What do you think?

No lah. You don't blog like a ger. Nothing to do with sentence structures. And we dun want Jonzz to start blogging abt all his MCP ideas to show he is a man.
BUT, for a start, perhaps u can post an avator of your manly pic! LOL.
Give me your email address and I'll email you his pic so you can judge how manly he is.... LOL!
**SHH~ Dont tell him I told you this!**
LOL!
anyw, what hv u heard about The Golden Compass? You really should read the books first - His Dark Materials. You would love the movie a ton better then.
:D cheerios
And wat comments did u write that need to be deleted? LOL.
*starts to regurgitate*
haha, kiddin ya! you blog like a He-Man!
warsurfer: Tsk... tsk.. tsk... want to die young, ar! LOL!
celestine: Thanks for the book info. At least I have some books to check out next I go to the bookstore.
PB: Hmm, was that him who deleted? How did you know?
k.k: I don't like He-Man. *Sulk* ROFL!
winniethepooh: Wah, thank you. A little affirmation goes a long way. =P
chinkinin: LOL, it happens. Once in a while, I think funny stuff. (I can hear Annie saying, Once in a while??!!!)
*Pounding LM for overextended 13/14 year old kid jokes* LOL!
OMG Jonzz, you crack me up. I'm ROFLMAO at that title entry. If there's any consolation, you write like a THINKER....
I guess some guy bloggers would indeed write about shallow crap and post nude pictures of women... (I'm still waiting for Monty on this) but then again, there are female bloggers who can't write anything deeper than what their next lip gloss is going to be or when their next drinking party is.
You write like a thinker. It's a compliment. Dork. Now shut up about writing like a girl. I'm a GIRL and I write... like a GIRL. LOL
stay-at-home-mum: LOL, don't worry, no offense taken. After all, I never post pics.
annie: LOL... ha ha ha, I don't know. The thought was so funny I just had to write about it. That's what blogs are about, right?
maybe the name's unisex, i guess.
don't worry. what you write about, how deep or how personal, only shows us the real you....it doesn't reflect your sexuality or masculinity. your friend's theory is flawed. what is men supposed to blog about? fast cars and good sex??! hahaha. a man is not defined by what he likes or does not like.
grrrl? What grrl???
jonzz grrrl???? he cooks and he writes poetry. Hmm.... does he knit ?
