As Suanie Sees It

I am in the midst of writing a post on some blogging stuff, and needed some reference from Meg Hourihan’s blog, and read some news that shattered my net <3 into a bazillion pieces.

Jason Kottke and Meg will be married early next year after 5 years of being together.

*sniff* sobs* cries*

I’ve a crush on Kottke for the longest time. I think he’s brilliant. I think he’s witty. I think he’s ethical. Most importantly I think that he and I are meant to be together. Match made in heaven and all that crap.

Him being engaged is fine by me. There’s always time to realise that I am THE one; his Cinderella, his Sleeping Beauty, his Snow White, his Scarlett O’Hara. He in turn would be my Professor Henry Higgins. Never mind that we are separated by oceans and denied of the opportunity to meet. Heavens could only be so cruel for a while; the eternal optimist holds out for the one true love, the Prince Charming, the knight who would brave a world of danger to be with his princess. Minor details like distance and not knowing my existance would not have kept him from his quest for love.

I have nothing against Meg Hourihan; I think she’s equally brilliant but a woman’s got to do what a woman’s got to do, even if it means breaking her heart for a while. But I’m certain she would have approved of Kottke being with his REAL true love, and that is ME ME ME ME ME !

As it is, I turn out to be the loser in this love triangle. I hereby as gracefully as I could muster with a shattered heart and all, acknowledge my defeat and hope for nothing but the best for the happy couple. Then I’m going to drown myself in crates of cheap beer and soppy Celine Dion to soothe thy broken heart. It’s okay, don’t cry for me, I will be quite all right. Eventually in the next millennium, maybe.

Japan is pretty much a trendsetter when it comes to novelty things and people, and things that people do. Just when you thought that you’d seen/read/heard it all, a new fad would burst like plum blossoms in spring, mortifyingly humbling our jaded cynical selves into shocked silent puppies.

I would like to shock you myself, so ladies and gentlemen, I proudly present the BEST well kept secret in the blogosphere. Ready? Here you go…

Joi Ito is a woman.

Joi Ito is a woman.

JOI ITO IS A WOMAN!!!

That’s right. All of us have been duped, the blind bats that we all are. You’ve got to admit; a Japanese man wearing a robe - that’s not culture; THAT’S NOT A MAN AT ALL!

10 Most Powerful Women in Blogging

[...]
8. Joi Ito of Technorati (http://joi.ito.com ) has her hands in a lot of Web 2.0 companies, some you might not even know about yet. This makes her damn powerful. Often times the one you don’t know that well is the most powerful. My personal favorite because she seems to help people get shit done.

Research is overrated.

I first got to know her through tBlog. She left a comment on my tBlog, I checked out her now-defunct site, laughed my ass off and the rest is history.

The first time I met her was at Misai’s. She was this petite thing, rather quiet… little did we know that we could not be more wrong…

But she’s fun to be around, she makes swearing a fine art and she can be worse an alkie than all of us combined.

Fireangel 30% siao… let’s not go into higher percentage
