copycat There is nothing more annoying than a Copycat. This animal is unoriginal, and it is extremely annoying to be within his vicinity. If you are even a bit innovative or unique, avoid familiarizing yourself with him lest you suddenly find mini-you’s appearing everywhere you turn. While this attention may seem “cute” at first, it has the potential to get old - fast. A Copycat is usually found in packs, where he flourishes. A Lone Copycat is rare and usually depressed because of his lack of something to imitate. He might start to change the colour of his skin to blend into the walls, the trees, or whatever he happens to be next to, for want of human contact. Avoid him at all costs, for he will be desperate and clingy! Even more dangerous, perhaps, is the Common Copycat. These animals have the annoying tendency to sneak around among us, disguised as ordinary humans, waiting for their chance to pounce. You must be on your guard against these masquerading menaces! Keep a close watch on the people around you before you are lulled into a false sense of security. While they rarely change skin colour as the Lone Copycat does, a few defining factors may alert you to the presence of a Common Copycat. (1) He may be unsure of himself. (2) He may be excessively nosy. Once he knows you inside and out, it will be easy for him to copy you. (3) He may constantly overly-compliment you. (4) He may change his actions to fit the scene, despite his feelings. (5) He may keep one eye concealed. Be aware, for this eye may be a Sharingan, enabling him to mimic your every move. If you notice more than one of these early symptoms in someone, you may have a Common Copycat on your hands. Be wary around him. I might suggest toning down your innovation, for he will be inexplicably drawn to the brightest innovation, but that is almost unthinkable for someone of your calibre. He is probably starting to stealthily stalk toward you, shedding the mimicking of others as he goes for your throat. If he actually begins to copy you, you will have a more serious problem. That, of course, is the easiest way for discerning a Common Copycat. I have come up with only one solution to this problem. We shall all sit in straight-backed chairs, not moving the entire day and watch the Copycats go insane as they try to mimic our stoic actions. After a few days, when they are properly driven crazy, we will all have our laughs and go back to our normal lives without worry that someone will interrupt our uniqueness. A few of us might even lend a hand with the straightjackets, and, of course, someone has to drive the truckload of Copycats to the asylum, which might lend opportunity for new experiences and ideas. Those new ideas will be safe, with no threat of being stolen, then. I know, we can calmly tell ourselves “imitation is the most sincere form of flattery.” But surely there is a limit.  ~ Jolielaide  |

Hehehehe  ...Oh dear!...take it as a compliment my dear. We can tell which is real and which is the COPY CAT. As a matter of fact, in reality, once the copy cat opens his/her mouth or starts to exchange posts or ideas, that's when s/he will betray him/herself...Just call me ELZ

slipped, maybe, from some kid's wrist or a rushed lover's empty front seat through a half-cracked car window-- rises like a shiny purple cloudlet toward today's gray mess of clouds, trailing its gold ribbon like lightning that will never strike anything or anyone here on the forsaken ground_ GOOD AFTERNOON ~ Jolielaide

i'd like to think that i'm a tolerant person. i can take so much and i always try to be reasonable, but sometimes enough is enough. whatever the reason behind the the moves is not important. if it's over the limit, just don't do it. especially if one is not ready for t he consequences. ~ Jolielaide

if you want to have your five minutes, then work for it that's my motto ~ Jolielaide

the ends justify the means forgive me for being more of a deontologist rather than a consequentialist or virtue ethicist ~ Jolielaide

|
i'm not judging your character or your virtue in real life i'm just reacting to what what said here in the blog and here alone i never prejudice outside the written words and beyond the topic it just happened that we have different views of the same matter and having a healthy exchanged of ideas i'm still learning ~ Jolielaide

|
i might try fishing one day if i become desperate ~ Jolielaide
| ||
|
