Imitation Is The Best Form Of Flattery

So yesterday my friend sent me a screenshot on groupchat of some girl on Facebook claiming that I copied her 20th birthday outfit and replicated it for my 21st.

That message was a reply to my Facebook status a few weeks back. How laggy.

Here's what I said on 13th April: "FIRST YOU COPY MY BIRTHDAY SPEECH, AND NOW YOU COPY MY INSTRAGRAM CAPTION? You do wanna be me THAT badly uh? Lady have some originalty please. I'm disgusted. Quote from somewhere - to have someone try to pull you down means you're above them in the first place. Point proven. Thank you very much."

I'm not following her on Facebook nor on Instagram, so her posts are usually screenshots sent to me by my friends who can't stand her too.

She posted a picture of herself on Facebook, 2nd May. Caption: " I just turned 22 a few days ago and yeah this was me on my 20th birthday. My outfit looks familiar? Yeah, just saying. #whocopywho #butenoughisenough #imstoopingDOWNtoyourleveltogetthisintoyourhead #getoveryourselfalr"

What's with the hashtags dude. Be glad I didn't put your face on my blog, I'm not into social media shaming. I just can't stand you anymore, how come got girls like you.

Let's talk about the outfit first. Turquoise dress. Check. Hair garland check. Girls with the same outfit for birthdays? Plenty. Why? Cause it was a trend.

And before she thinks that she started the trend (oh god) I bought my dress ONE YEAR before my 21st birthday party? Her very good guy friend aka my ex boyfriend would know. My birthday falls before hers, just saying.

If we were to go point by point it would be rather pointless ha ha the irony. Okay fine then her caption to her instagram post could be just pure coincidence, but it was me who posted it 3 weeks before she did (maybe I do think quite highly of myself no doubt) but then again she's the reason to why my ego is at its all time high.

Cause imitation is the best form of flattery.

I wasn't the one who said she's imitating me, it was said by the eyes of the ones around us.

And seriously, how would she know my post was about her? That she copied my birthday speech? Shoes fit huh? Then tie the laces and suck it up.

Then she would ask, how would I know her post was about me? Cause she has no life and who else can she talk about. #teamS
(I've got screenshots of that too. HAHA)

Everything aside, you may ask how is she the one who boosted my ego? Well, my 21st birthday speech.

I have a video of my speech, and she has hers. We should totally compare the content. I didn't know birthday speeches had a trend too. Plagiarism on point.

Have you done reports for projects before? Copy paste, right click synonym, rephrase. Hers has no effort at all. Oh wait. There was. A for effort. Effort in copying.

It sounds like something small, what's with the big fuss. I wrote my speech over many weeks and it was from the bottom of my heart, only to have somebody thrash it like that.

Last year during Econs non-graded in mega-lecture-hall test, I referred to my self study-made-notes (pointers and summary of all my weeks for revision) which was my bad I admit, and she referred to mine.

Oh wait what were her exact words while writing things down on her test paper and referring to mine? "This is blatant copying."

Wah you know ah? Not bad.

I passed my Econs, I don't know about her.
